juliaoceania -> You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 11:24:16 AM)
I have been trying to digest something that happened several days ago while I was playing with my Dom. He tied up my arms above my head, blind folded me, and then after beating me for a while he slapped my face (which I had more than eagerly agreed to try). I sunk so fast into subspace that my head swam, there were colors before my eyes, and my stomach dropped so fast I became nauseous.. He asked me if I was ok a few times and at first I stubbornly refused to call my safeword, and then I knew I had to. In this state I thought he had really hit me hard, my brain was confused. I felt really no pain at all, but it was a loud "smack", and it was jarring. I was shocked I guess. He had me totally cared for and as I creeped back into my body I realized he hadn't struck me hard after all. He has questioned me several times as to whether I want to try that again, and I was ambivalent about it. I am a curious person so I told him "I want to try it again", so he face slapped me again last night. I wasn't expecting it, it jarred me again, and I sunk into subspace again (minus the nausea). After we were through playing he tapped me on the arm and showed me how hard he face slaps me.. It feels like a tap, not at all hard. I trust him implicitly not to harm me, he has a third degree black belt, he knows how to keep from harming me. I was still surprised he had only tapped me when it seemed like he had decked me. Has anyone else ever experienced something like this? Have you thought for an instant that you were really walloped when you in fact weren't at all? Just for the record, I decided I really love my face slapped...lol

The answer to any question that begins "Does anyone else..?" is always YES. Scene headspace is not rational headspace. This is the seed from which all great mindfucks are grown.

I've always been the other way round - not felt it until afterwards. I'm with you on the 'shock' thing though, even if i see it coming a good face slap still surprises me. I too love it.

mistoferin -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 11:50:21 AM)
yup....me too...I often find myself shocked afterward when I see the "damage" and think....we didn't play that hard did we?

Exactly why I was so surprised that I had this reaction to a simple tap on the face (even if it sounded like a "crack"). I have had more than a few bruises and begged for more not knowing they were even there.

quote: ORIGINAL: missturbation I've always been the other way round - not felt it until afterwards. This is my response too. A few weeks ago, my Dom was spanking me (for punishment and eroticism at the same time) and left a serious mark (read: hand print for days) and I hardly felt it. Even afterwards it was not painful or irritated. He was absolutely shocked at both his exertion and my response. I was bound and held down at the time, and I am sure that most of my lack of physical reaction was my mental state. I don't think that I would like to be face-slapped, though it was that concept spoken to me in a fantasy by my cyberfriend that got me started down my path to finding my true self so... shrug...

On the other side being the one doing the whacking....I am amazed at some submissives,what seems like it should have hurt doesnt faze them at all. And things that shouldnt hurt do. Some bruise easier than others do also so sometimes they think W/we played hard and really it wasnt. I bruise easy and recently did a wrestling thing....that thread way back got Me thinking..... Anyway I did it, loved it and am covered with rug burns and bruises,none of which hurt by the way,okay the rug burns hurt...but other than that I'm fine. And ready for round 2....LOL

Jnj -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 12:04:33 PM)
I think that LA is spot on here. We become more sensitive to stimuli when scening, mainly because we don't have the time to rationally work out our perceptions while we are in an intense head space. From the bottom's perspective, face slapping sounds a lot louder than you expect it to, and it doesn't take much to rock the head, even with a gentle smack. It is easy for a bottom to assume the hit was hard before actually taking the time to feel it. I've definitely experienced this before, and am often guilty of the anticipatory "OUCH" when he pulls his hits some time. I see a smack coming, quickly, and naturally assume it will hurt like hell.

PlayfulOne -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 1:19:23 PM)
Sometimes it is not how hard the blow is, but where it is placed and how it is struck. Your arousal state can also intensify your feelings and reactions to even the smallest of things. A well controlled face slap can be a powerful thing for both parties K edited because somebody keeps moving the letters around on the keyboard,damnit, lol

But then again.. face slapping me can get someone hurt real fast around me.

SusanofO -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 2:31:35 PM)
Actually this has been an enlightening post. Face-slapping has been one of my soft limits because I had always been convinced someone could not (not really) always sucessfully gauge just how hard their impact on the other person might be (also, it seemed a tad brutal - well, like branding someone isn't brutal, too? And I like the idea of being branded, really...so I guess it was just one of those weird "squicks" I might have for little apparent reason), but - It is nice to know there are people out there doing it, that can hit what seems to be really hard, but is actually not - and that way, both people hopefully can "get what they came for" from doing it w/less actual danger. - Susan

juliaoceania -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 4:36:24 PM)
Susan, Yes, it can be done safely and sanely. He is very expert on doing these things, and I have this thing about the fantasy of having it done... I think part of what made it feel "harder" than it was is because my face was gently craddled on one side while the blow is landed from the other.. my head has no where to go, there is no recoil to absorb the blow of the hand as it lands. It was well placed too. I think LA is right.. He is into mind fucks and enjoys that aspect of getting me into that overwhelmed headspace. Even though I was nauseous it still was a pretty awesome feeling.

Vendaval -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 7:58:07 PM)
Hi Julia, Being on the other side of the flogger, I can tell you that different subs/slave react differently and the same sub/slave can react differently during different sessions or within the same one. The Dom/me can lightly touch the sub/slave and witness a severe reaction. On the converse, a severe beating may cause little or no pain during the Scene; afterwards, the welts and bruises cause surprise to the sub/slave. A good amount of fear and anticipation will build the force of impact just as much as brute force. YMMV, Vendaval

Calandra -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 8:07:19 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: SusanofO (also, it seemed a tad brutal)- When I was growing up my mother was abusive. The tinyest thing would set her off and if I was within arms reach she'd slap or backhand me. Over time, if she moved quickly (to scratch an itch for example) I would sometimes flinch, which would piss her off and I'd surely get beaten. I guess face slapping has taken on a sense of being powerless and humiliated and it has always been a limit for me... I wonder if perhaps I should investigate whether I can desensitize myself to the past issues, with a trusted partner? It's gotten me thinking...

hizgeorgiapeach -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 9:09:38 PM)
I've only ever had one person/partner slap me in the face (outside of teen year fights with females who were afraid to make a fist even when I did.) He was abusive - not dominant - though I met and became involved with him via supposed mutual bdsm interests. On only one occassion during the time that we were playing together (before he became overtly abusive - he still had that Mask on) did he ever attempt to incorporate face slapping into the play. I was honestly more surprised at my reaction to it happening than he was - and no, it wasn't a "pleasant" reaction. It triggered something purely instinctual, and I came up swinging, snarling, baring my teeth. I went for HIS throat, even though it took several seconds (and coming out of that particular headspace) to realize what I was doing. I've warned every potential play partner since then that it's a bad idea - not a limit, as I'm willing to attempt it - simply a bad idea, and they have to be prepared for the consequences regardless of whether it's good or bad. I'm not going to tell them "Sure, go ahead" and then allow them to get pissy with me (or Punish me) when I go ballistic after I've warned them that it could easily happen.

Tamerofwild1s -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 9:25:55 PM)
one thing I have found from this whole thing is this action happened and you immediately dropped .... it's not the slap julia .. he could swing his hand at you full and hard and stop a fraction of an inch from your face and you would drop .. the rush of the slap coming is setting off the endorphines in you that create the chemical sub space your experiencing ... I have seen women who build themselves up with anticipation over getting a tattoo ... by the time the needle gets just off the skin they drop boom .. and they aree in the same subspace your experiencing. just enjoy the ride and know there is nothing wrong with you

SusanofO -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 9:34:07 PM)
Good to know, juliaoceania. Glad you enjoyed it. -Susan

Caretakr -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 9:42:52 PM)
Iv'e waited the entire thread so far, just to make this point. When you put someone in an altered state, you CANNOT simply rely on some trendy thing like a safe word. It is no more reliable than the body which must utter it. What you MUST rely on is a competent Top. And if there is no one at the wheel who REALLY knows how to drive,with all of the quirks and wierdness that can happen in this........ You are going to be in a world of hurt-and in more ways than one.

fyrekittyn -> RE: You Only Hit Me That Hard???? (6/29/2006 9:44:44 PM)
Face slapping is currently a soft limit for me...I am turned on by the thought, but I just don't know if I am ready for the feeling. I have been asked to do some Pro Sub work where face slapping would almost certainly happen, and I am trying to figure out if I want to do that or not...
