peppermint379 -> RE: Tolerance to pain (12/23/2004 9:28:09 PM)

softlysub,
I find that pain is rather complicated to deal with. There are days when pain hardly bothers me at all. Then on another day, even a little bit of pain is too much. Perhaps on the latter days, the time needed to build up endorphines is not extended long enough. With the last tattoo i got, everything was fine till near the end of the third hour. Then...suddenly...no more pain could be tolerated and the session was ended. Most likely the endorphines that built up in my system were gone.
Alwayzron is right about pain being built up gradually. Breathing techniques help. Learning how to relax your body while receiving pain can also help. Relaxing is something you can learn. Lay on the floor. Tense and relax each part of your body. Then have someone lift your arm or leg. If the limb feels like dead weight, is rather floppy, you are relaxed. Practice this till you can relax at will. Years ago when i took childbirth classes, relaxation and breathing were combined to help ease the pain.
And, softlysub, just because you can't accept all the pain you feel you should accept, does not mean you aren't a good submissive. That you have done your best for your Dom should be reward enough for both of you.
