LinnaeaBorealis -> Pain play post-injury (11/13/2010 11:00:58 AM)
|
I was talking with someone today & I mentioned that I had only started to consider playing with pain after I had been run over by a car. That incident left me with 8 fractures, some soft tissue damage, PTSD & chronic pain. I had always thought that the reason that I decided to try playing with pain was because I had survived the most terrifying & painful happening in my life up to that point. And that I then thought that there were probably other terrifying & painful things that I could also survive. As my fascination with pain play grew, the intensity that I desired also grew.
My friend suggested that what had happened was that while I was on the pain meds, my body/brain had become accustomed to experiencing pain, then relief with the narcotics. And that it had then learned to provide the endorphins on its own after the pain meds were removed. From that came the natural progression of a pain/euphoria cycle.
I'm curious what others might think or have experienced.
