ORIGINAL: MaamJay While I've no objection to others using these sort of preparations, Master and I have decided to give them a miss. He experimented once with a mentholated cream ... and it got rather intense in its effect, but ... there's no antidote! Nothing can be done to ameliorate it other than wait for it to subside. His conclusion? He doesn't want to play with anything where IT is in control, not Him. Thoughts anyone? MaamJay You are, actually, incorrect. There are things that you can do to neutralize most, if not all, chemicals that are used in BDSM play. I personally have a very sensitive reaction to BenGay, and as many here, discovered that water does NOT help - it makes it worse. However, things that CAN help include: add vaseline or another carrier oil like almond oil to cut the strength and draw it out. apply the vaseline, rub around, then wipe clean, then repeat some chemicals are neutralized by sugar. think capcaizin creme. when you eat something spicy, pour a packet of sugar in your mouth. In the same way, it can neutralize chemicals on the body plain yogurt, or milk, can also neutralize the chemicals. think basic chemistry - acid, base. sometimes baking soda works to neutralize the chemicals sometimes using oatmeal bath powder and making a paste and lathering it on will neutralize the items. The key is to find out what DOES neutralize what you are playing with BEFORE you play - and then have it on hand. Deborah Addington mentions a number of these things in her class Cunning Torments (it's about female genitorture). She has published a book by the same name but I believe it is out of print. I've e-mailed her to see if I can get a list and haven't had any luck. ~Elorin
