CM, you need to vary the implements and change the rhythm and pace.

This will prevent your hands and arms from getting tired, and more importantly, keep the sub guessing as to what is coming next.

Build up slow and steady, vary the strokes, add a few suprises, and you'll have the sub blissed out on endorphin release and wandering in their own subspace in no time.

I hope you're picking up a few pointers...

it is a bit scary.

what is totally scary is that there are loads of people who love being on the receiving end

Nah, actually doing it isn't the issue. But I just assumed you gave a few whacks on the ass and that was the end of it. There is a lot more to it than that. Clearly it's an art form

<cough>
what I meant was, despite the fact that there is an art, there are a load of people who actually like the pain


thats what I meant by weird

But sometimes pain is good, like when you get a tattoo... thats good pain.

To the casual observer, yes it can look quite frightening, especially when you see the plethora of equipment involved.

However, that is merely a mean unto an end.

Also, it's a fallacy to say "weird, people like the pain."

In and of itself, the pain is not what they like, it's what the pain "does" to their body.

That's the secret, the skill and the art (though art can sound somewhat pretentious).

Now for the science bit.

The body's response to pain is to release endorphins.

Endorphins are endogenous opioid polypeptide compounds. They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during strenuous exercise, excitement, pain, and orgasm, and they resemble the opiates in their abilities to produce analgesia and a sense of well-being.

Endorphins work as "natural pain relievers", whose effects may be enhanced by other medications.

By skilful application of pain, interspersed with caresses, kisses, reassuring touches, you basically overload the subject's body with endorphins.

When I say "overload", I really do mean "overload".

The body translates the pain signals and releases increasing amounts of endorphins in to the body, until the body is saturated.

This is basically the equivalent of a totally natural opiate high, without the drawbacks.

The subject will enter a blissful state (imagine having an after orgasm "glow" that goes off the scale, and also persists for anywhere between 30 mins to a few days afterwards. That's a close description.

That period is known as "sub space" (submissive space).

I've talked to various "Masters" (male) or "Doms" (female) and watched them at work, and it's a very intense process.

Again, to the casual observer, it just looks like they are whacking someone with a whip or paddle or whatever.

It goes so much deeper than that.

The Master or Dom is responsible for the total safety of the Sub, and the Sub's physical and mental state of mind is of paramount importance.

Hence, a skilled Master or Dom will pay clinical levels of attention to the Sub's breathing, muscle relaxation, physical clues as to their state, and so on, in order to "build up" the release of endorphins.

For anyone interested, the best place to start is to find a well-established club in the "scene" and if brave enough, approach a Dungeon Master or Dom who will gently introduce you.

Alternatively, anyone may feel free to PM and all replies will be in strictest confidence.

I beg to differ, the release of endorphins can be addictive.
