SPANKING PAIN
( Note : this page is not intended to be a technical paper on pain , but rather a collection of ideas on this subject . )
These quotations are from our Frequently Asked Questions Page :
This depends on a number of factors , it is important to warm up first , limits should be clear and respected . a " safeword " can be used to slow down or stop . Your level of excitement also affects your tolerance level , so slow down and let it build . Tolerance levels increase over time .
See also : Hormones Affecting Spanking .
............................
There is a phenomenon which we shall call a " spanking high " which is reached when limits are reached and exceeded , ( Ever wonder why those last " unbearable " smacks were the best ) . It has to do with the operation of the amygdala and of endorphins released into the brain and we suspect , one of the reasons why tolerance levels increase and we can feel elated after a spanking . This pushing of limits can be one of the " turn ons " of spanking and the giver can also receive the same sort of charge .
( There is ongoing research into the effects of the release of dopamine and serotonin into the brain , which is responsible for these " highs " . )
The answer is as hard as the person being spanked wants it to be ! This is very important as otherwise one , or both of you , could end up feeling frustrated and to say the least , unsatisfied . Men , in particular , may not spank their spanking dates hard enough . For example , there is a reply to our SURVEY which complains that instead of the requested spanking " he ends up only giving " love taps" ". It may have taken a lot of courage to ask for the spanking and this should be rewarded with the spanking being carried out as requested . If your partner is new , tell and show them ( if necessary ) what you want done .
WANT TO MAKE IT MORE PAINFUL , WE MEAN MEMORABLE ?
Start
with a mildly sun burnt bottom ( you can use a
sunlamp ) .
Wear stretch shorts , particularly if you are being caned.
Squeeze
the bottom during the spanking
( also works to control bruising ) :
Spanking a wet bottom will also increase sensitivity , a mixture of water and glycerine can be used in a hand sprayer , some references call this a " contact fluid ", otherwise , wait until you / they come out of the shower , pool etc. or wear wet clothes .
Put some " hot cream " ( Chinese Tiger Balm , etc ) on first . Do not use anything that runs or you / they may have some unexpected pain in unexpected areas and do not break the skin .
Shave
the hair , or have it shaved , off your bottom first ( this is for men , if you are a girl
please send before and after shots ) . Apologies that this was not mentioned before
( I was reminded of the practice in an E-mail today ) . I first heard of this method from
a lady who had spanked her 21 year old son .
( The previous time , some years before , there had been no hair on his bottom . )
Use a hot water bottle ( as hot as you can stand ) .
Have a series of spankings .
Delete the warm-up .
Sitting on a hard ( wood ) surface immediately afterwards will get the nates throbbing ( this assumes that a good job was done in the first place ) .
Go for a run afterwards , ( uphill is more fun ) .
Spanking Pain Stages
( From : SPANKOZ
WOMEN'S PAGE . )
Have any of you noticed the various stages of spanking pain ? They are as
follows :
1. First there is the anxiety pain of wondering if you will be spanked or not
for a certain offence .
2 . Then when you receive the sentence you wonder how painful it will be as you
wait through the preliminaries .
3 . Then you get the first stroke . It hits and for about a nanosecond you do
not feel any pain , hoping that it will never come but you know it will .
4 . The pain then starts rising from the first stroke .
5 . Before the first stroke's pain hits its peak you get the second stroke .
6 . It continues like this all through the spanking , stacking pain upon pain as
the cycles overlap .
7 . You finally reach a pain limit where further strokes do not make much
difference . This is why different implements need different tempos . It's why
canings are done slowly . The pain is so severe that it is better to spread it
out over a longer time . ( Learned from experience ! )
8 . The spanking ends but the pain lingers , gradually decreasing over time ,
depending on the implement .
9 . The pain ends and the much desired afterglow begins . Again depending on the
implement .
10 . Finally the after-afterglow . This can last a lifetime as we remember the
excitement of a particular spanking session and relive it over and over again .
I had my first proper caning several months ago and have not had one since . I
now know what Melanie meant when she wrote that it is an experience you will
want to do again . I'm not sure when we will try it but we will. There has not
been a hour go by since then when I do not think about the caning I got from Deb
or the caning she will give me again some day . I have forgotten the pain
somewhat but the excitement of the whole drama has replayed itself in my mind
constantly .
Hot butts to you all !

PAIN TOLERANCE DIFFERENCES IN MEN AND WOMEN
HIGHER PAIN TOLERANCE
IN MALES CAN’T BE BOUGHT
By Ann Quigley, Contributing
Writer
Health Behavior News Service
Men’s higher tolerance for pain is not just macho posturing but has a physiological underpinning, suggests a study in which subjects were given a monetary incentive to keep their hand submerged in ice water.
Sex differences in pain perception have been noted in multiple studies, with women typically displaying lower pain tolerance than men, but it is unknown whether the mechanisms underlying these differences are hormonal, genetic or psychosocial in origin. For example, some researchers have suggested that men are more motivated to express a tolerance for pain because masculine stereotyping encourages it, while feminine stereotyping encourages pain expression and lower pain tolerance.
“These findings suggest that motivation does not account for the sex difference in pain tolerance,” says study author Roger B. Fillingim, Ph.D., of the Department of Operative Dentistry at the University of Florida and the Gainesville VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Fla.
