As far as I know, practice is the only way to increase your tolerance for something, even if it doesnt increase your enjoyment. Also, playing on a consistent basis, like every week or so. Taking too long of a break can mean your old tolerance has disappeared.

See above OP & I'll add a caveat.

Pain tolerance varies from day to day in my experience, possibly due to psychological state at that time (that's a guess btw, I'm no expert).

Well, a question out there for you all. i'm drawn to the evil/sadistic and like the more stingy or electrical pain. i struggle with the thud style of pain however i still according to several sadists have a low pain threshold - the question is simple. How do i increase my pain tolerance?

Sensible suggestions only please ;)

When taking pain I find it helpful to force myself to breathe as evenly as possible, and to tell myself things like "well, at least I'm not having my leg sawed off!" to sort of put what I'm experiencing into perspective. Apart from that, I'd recommend practice, like Lady Hibiscus said.

I'd also - and I'd be interested to know what others think about this - recommend not worrying about it too much. Some sadists, after all, might quite enjoy being able to get a satisfyingly abject response out of you without too much effort on their part.

Regular exercise (even if it's just 20 minutes of walking around the neighborhood), eating healthy and eliminating all the crap (i.e. processed food) out of your diet, getting enough sleep on good mattress, don't overindulge in alcohol, and address any issues like allergies or chronic pain with the proper professionals.

Figure out what makes you physically feel good, and work with that.

The better you feel overall, the more success you'll have in being able to process "intense sensation".

Status: offline 		There are two aspects of intense pain. There is a threshold ... beyond which the body's endorphins set in and the person experiences far less pain than would be expected.

Until that threshold is reached, the nerves go frenzy alerting the brain and sending signals 'danger' 'danger' ... to withdraw from the pain.

As soyokaze mentioned, fighting it only brings more 'conscious' attention to the region and the brain starts sensing it more. Pain is subjective ... and different ... and it has an emotional aspect to it. (most of these only apply to short term intense pain)

So in short, once the pain stimulation crosses a threshold, one gets the body's endorphins that kind of act like an analgesic!

(This explains why some soldiers who are severely wounded with multiple gun shots still fight and move around as long as they haven't lost enough blood to go unconscious and there is this 'being motivated' aspect that increases the ability to withstand pain. So being prepared and motivated would help tolerate pain more!)

This would be helpful for anyone training someone for pain tolerance as well as for subs who wish to learn tolerating pain.

Regards ...

Well (and this is of course, just me), I'm thinking some 220 connected to your genitals (and again, this is just me) in parallel (not in "series"....that would only insure that it passed through you) would be somewhat invigorating.  A  nice little buzz :)

A nice little "Zing", if you will.

Adding the nipples (in either series or parallel) would be a remarkable set of experiences, ensuring that it ran its full current and gave you the entire experience.

Something for the record books, if you will :)

(May want to contact the power company {and the coroner} prior to)...but...I will add....it'll be memorable for all.

However, if I get too deep via breathing I stop reacting and M doesn't like that ;)

Status: offline 		Ah well, there is the option of suffering for longer if you build it up

Personally I tend to find slowly building up in play increases my pain tolerance, I tend to be able to take much more as the session increases, rather than starting at full whack. Probably the endorphin thing.

Some of it might just be that you enjoy different kinds of pain more - thuddy pain I adore and can get pleasure from easily - stingy on the other hand I find much more difficult. Nipple clamps - pure horniness, until they're removed (and then of course intense pain when they're put back on, followed by a positively dreamy state)

I think the OP is trying to give his Mistress even more pleasure, not deny her. If the Mistress is a sadist, then surely she would prefer her slave to be able to take more pain and give her more opportunity to indulge and enjoy her sadistic tendencies?

I know that Master is a sadist. When we first started playing together, my pain tolerance was pretty low. But now it's a lot higher. It doesn't mean it hurts less, it means I can take more of the kind of pain he enjoys giving me. That, I assume, is what the OP is trying to do.

Status: offline 		I am sort of the opposite of you in that I tend to have a very high pain threshold for thud-style pain and much less for stinging pain. I would agree with most of the other posters that breathing and focus are the keys to pain tolerance for me when it comes to stinging types of pain (those little mini-floggers aimed at my nuts fucking kill me and will tame me in about a second if I can't avoid them). The only thing you can really do is through experience come to understand the pain will go away in a few seconds and begin to focus and go off into whatever form of space you go off into and remember that you are dealing with the pain in large part to please somoene else.

When it comes to thud pain (I would call serious ass paddling and certain forms of flogging a cross between thud pain and stinging pain) I think you can actually physically work to build up tolerance. I think lifting weights and building muscle and/or taking certain forms of martial arts that involve striking will build up your tolerance for strikes to any non-vulnerable part of your body. I have had a 5'10" #160-170 women trained in martial arts stand over me and strike me full-force in the solar plexis (Sp?) multiple times while I was lying flat on my back on a hard floor restrained. It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't unbearable either - primarily because I am big, lift weights and have some experience being struck in martial arts so it is not a complete system shock. Similarly, I have a women friend who is fit and athletic who sometimes likes to punch me as hard as she can repeatedly in the upper arm while we are at the bar mostly because she is amused I essentailly can not feel it at all, even more so with a couple of beers in me.

I have been hit with wooden objects, fists, knees, kicks and other hard objects repeatedly in scenes generally with very few marks left and cerainly no damage other than an occasional bruise or sore rib. I can't attribute it to anything other than being a big weightlifter who has some experience receiving strikes in martial arts. So yes, I do think one can build up their physical capaicty for tolerating thud-style pain and I don't think you have to workout like nuts to increase your tolerance.

Also, I do believe getting tattoos can help with building tolerance for some types of stinging pain (not the mini flogger on the nuts stuff unless you get your balls tattooed). Maybe a little over the top for some people, but...
