A/anyone who knows i am wrong please fell free to correct me because i really have no memory of how i learned this and so can quote no reference for my information:
The feeling of pain is mother natures way of telling us that there is something wrong. If we put our hand in the fire, we get a burning feeling to tell us that damage is being done and we need to remove our hand. When the damage stops though no one could take the pain of the burn for long, there fore we have endorphins. Endorphins are are the bodies natural painkiller, it is an actual substance released into the body to shut down the damaged nerve endings thereby stopping the pain. It also serves as a calmer so that a person is not so incopasitated by that pain that they can think of what to do for the damaged sustained. (forgive my spelling plz)
Endorphins are one of the reasons there is a BDSM lifestyle. If someone is hurt, their body will produce endorphins unless that gland is nonfunctional such as in the case of lepracy. If one is experiancing pain and pleasure, once the pain is stopped, the pleasure is multiplied x2-x3-x5 whatever the skill of the Top to build this level of endorphins in the blood stream.
Sometimes this can happen very quickly, most times not. When it does happen quickly it is known as a rush. This rush of endorphins can be almost as intoxicating as a rush from heroin, and by the by just as addictive. When a rush occures, nothing hurts, and i mean nothing. In fact any sensation at all can come across as pleasure. This state is also known as sub-space.
Therefore, by sending your mind elsewhere during the experiance of pain, you are getting endorphins, but you are avoiding the rush that can happen at the hands of a skilled patient Dominant.
Again, if any of this is wrong, please feel free to correct me.
