Post-Play Pain - 10/18/2012 6:48:32 PM

Status: offline 		I just had my first play session (ever) yesterday and good lord it feels as though the true pain only hits after! During it was positively delightful (though I did have to mention Red more than a couple of times as he is quite the sadist) and my Dom was surprised at how much more I could take than he anticipated, given my lack of experience. I've been called a tough woman since I was a child so a bit flattered at the confirmation ;)

This morning I woke up admiring the lovely marks on my body, but as the day wore on...the burning became worse and worse. I am close to my cycle and have heard this can affect the body's pain tolerance a bit, but wow. My buns feel like they are on two hot plates from the spankings and floggings! my neck sore from his incredibly firm grip, the rest of my limbs pained and decorated in deep teeth marks (the bitings seem to feel worse today than anything). I sit here with no bra under my tshirt simply bc the straps are touching the bruises and are too sensitive for anything to touch- the elastic in my underpants also sit on a bruise so I've had to really adjust my clothing today.

Contrary to all of that I slept like a baby last night. Today was a bit challenging however as I sat in an office chair most of the day shifting between what would be more comfortable to sit on - my ass or my foot. Both failed me. I told him I don't cry from pain but today came close. I was mostly angry at him, especially when I saw his teeth prints on my skin when I came home tonight - I think I psuedo-cried tears mumbling "fucker!" trying to find clothes that wouldn't touch any of the bruises he left.
Yet, I can't wait to play again. Just after my body heals!

I'm just wondering, does the body adjust? Because I did so well with such little experience, is it possible to kick it up some for next time? Any tips? Wishful thinking? My partner is a fierce sadist and I am interested in seeing how far we can go (not for him, but for my sake..i like to explore this side of me). I consider myself as someone with a fairly decent pain tolerance, but next time I would like to up the ante a bit. Also, it seems like the post-play pain is more bothersome than the pain during. I assume that is normal as the body is coming off of the rush and really feeling the 'fruits' of its labor today?

Be careful that you don't get so excited about it that you push yourself too far.

But yeah, there are some things that you can build up tolerance and endurance for. Some things you can't, though. Overtime you'll get to know your body, and what it can and can't recover well from.

Not surprising that you slept well right after - you burn a lot of energy, even as a bottom. Plus, endorphin rushes can cause a backslide into sleepiness, too, at least for me.

I've always found warm baths to be helpful for easing those sorts of aches.

This may not work for others but I take some about 30 minutes to an hour before play.
It doesn't put a dent in the intensity and initial pain.
It does help take the edge off afterwards.

Status: offline 		Interesting question and some interesting answers in return. Allow me to weigh in on this also. This does not surprise me at all. In order to understand the underlying causes for this then you will need to know what happens in the body on a molecular level.

You body is constantly regenerating itself. In fact every cell in your body (including bone cells) are replaced every seven years. As new cells are made the cells that they are replacing are destroyed creating waste material throughout your body. In fact, at any given time, a person has between three and five pounds of waste material in the body.

Your body only has five ways to get rid of this waste material. There is the skin, urine, feces, breath and through tears. The easiest way to get rid of this waste is through the skin. All other methods require the waste to be processed through the Lymphatic System.

The Lymphatic System is the body’s garbage collector. Its sole purpose is to process and get rid of the waste within the body. When you are involved in a play session there is a lot of soft tissue manipulation. Meaning that the muscles, in that area, are moved around. Doing this releases the toxins that are trapped within the muscle.

When the toxins are released then the body has to process them. This is why you get sore after a play session, exercise or any other strenuous activity. I hate to bust your bubble but a Tylenol, Advil or Motrin, in this case, is a Placebo effect. These are NSAIDs, which stands for Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug. The problem is not inflammation, the problem is toxins.

What you need to do is get rid of the toxins. Like I said before, the easiest method to do this is through the skin. The idea of a hot bath was a very good one. I would make one addition to that. I would advise to add Epson Salt to the bath water. Epson Salt is a mineral that assist the body in pulling the toxins through the skin.

What toxins are left in the body after the bath will have to be processed through the Lymphatic System. There are ways you can assist your body in this process. The two best things you can do are drink lots of water. I would recommend twelve to sixteen ounces an hour. This helps to increase the viscosity of the fascia and allow the toxins to be processed easier, and the other is to move around. The reason why is long and not very interesting to anyone but people who need that info.

There is much more I could say but I WAS trying to keep this short. Ooops, looks like I did not make it again.

Any way, I hope this helped.

Larry

Status: offline 		Mmmm takes me back to my first session.. I second the arnica & bath.
Before my sessions now, if time allows, I start arnica drops beforehand mixed with a little rescue remedy, this stops the total shock ( which obviously means we feel it more!) the body seems to go into once you've "come down" .. Also (giggles) allows a little more tolerance at the time of play too, natural relaxant... Very enjoyable!

Status: offline 		Thank you @Muchtado for the detailed explanation and tips. And no, Ibuprofin did absolute shit as you suggested, though a bit more eloquently! I felt absolutely no relief with it. I actually came home last night after the night we played and I drank my regular glass of wine and if anything, I just felt worse. I went to bed and had to sleep on my stomach as my back and ass and arms are full of bites. But as I said before, the sleep was heavenly. I have not had a deep sleep like that in ages. This morning when I got up I felt better - tonight is the first time I've taken a full shower as I have mostly been afraid for anything to touch my skin, even water. But the good sleep, hot shower, and a relaxing evening has made a huge difference. I am still sore but not nearly as bad as yesterday when yes, I cursed him when I tried to pick out clothing for work yesterday - almost cried, and this is coming from a self-proclaimed non-crier!
I also slept in just a loose Tshirt last night so nothing touched my skin but the cotton on top. No bands against the bruised hips helped as well. It's funny, I feel like I'm healing from a surgery - though I've never been in surgery before! But it does feel like a healing of sorts. The only difference is that when coworkers or family comment on my winces when I sit or walk, I have to blame it on exercise eventhough I'm dying to yell - "I was spanked and flogged like a dirty little whore and loved every moment!" ;
It's funny, because before this first session when we had our initial non-BDSM meeting for coffee, he asked me to think of the most pain I've ever been in and I coudn't think of any experience I had in my 34 years that ever brought me any true physical pain that would have been memorable enough. But I must say for the first time ever, some of those bites and spanks were finally it. Like I said, he is a fierce sadist with a truly extraordinary strength, so it was certainly a session to remember.
I really think my lack of eating (I hadn't eaten all day when we played - just coffee and half a toast, i didnt want to be bloated or need to use the washroom) as well as playing near my cycle, coupled with my first experience - added to the pain.

I certainly intend to see what else I can do...just not yet - still running into owies in many unexpected places! That's the fun of it though...I get to feel certain parts hurt now and recall....'that's right - he DID bite me there!'

;)
