Lostangel28 -> Ideas on raising pain tolerance level? (12/18/2010 6:26:15 PM)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to raise your own pain tolerance level? I know that sounds odd but my Owner has a sadistic side and He gets frustrated that my tolerance for pain is not as high. So I was wondering if there was anything I could do to raise my levels to be able to better take the pain?

Any suggestions at all would be most welcome!

Be healthy. Eat well, exercise, and participate in sports.

Also, zen meditation is strongly encouraged. Not just any old meditation, but truly attempting to clear your mind and keep it clear for half an hour to hours at a time. By all accounts, experienced zen practitioners have amazing pain tolerance.

Cardiovascular fitness angel.

Your body learns to see minor pain as an every day part of your fitness regimen.

Pain reminds you that you are alive.

By the way, those are some HUGE cats.

I have this same problem. Master is sadistic. I'm not a masochist. We've learned to deal with it over time in a few different ways. One...we've found that when he can zone me out usually with very heavy restrictive bondage and left alone in that for awhile I'm much more tolerant of pain and I can take a lot more. He has also learned to torment me in many other varied ways that have absolutely nothing to do with physical pain. It's amazing how sadistic he can be and never even lay a single toy or finger on me.

So my suggestion is to find a way to zone out possibly and/or see if you two can find other ways of him being sadistic that aren't physical.

Practice practice practice.

the meditation helps a lot with the pain tolerance. when my mind is still bouncing it takes longer to get to sub space and my pain thresh hold is much lower. also as was mentioned above that a variety of different stimuli can help the B/both of Y/you get to that happy place.

another thing is trial different levels of pain and different times in your cycle ... I know for me right before my period my whole body is so sensitive that the lightest touch has me whimpering.

also warm up, start slow ease into it, it can be fun sometimes to go straight into the big ouch but personally I find I can take more when there is a build up. And like someone else mentioned, head space is very imporant, and restrictive bondage and setting a very definete scenario do that for me.

I usually mix pain with pleasure... It makes the pain much more enjoyable... for both of us....

I also used to be with a pain slut.... Very fun to play with .. the one I am with now, very much more sensitive.. I figured that I basically "adapt" to whomever I am playing with.. I enjoy myself differently but , bottom line, I enjoy myself :)

That right there.

Not everybody can increase their pain tolerance.  For those that can increase their pain tolerance, the idea is to introduce regular stimuli frequently over a course of time.  Then, increase the amount of pain or the duration of pain for longer periods.  For example, if you're engaging in S/m one time a month, pain tolerance isn't very likely to increase because you're not getting enough exposure.

Think of it like this.  If you were a jogger and could do three miles, you wouldn't expect yourself to be able to create more endurance if you were only running every now and again.  Same thing.

Interesting. My girl starts craving heavy pain right before her period - if she's grumpy and I can't seem to hurt her enough, we know it's that time of the month. During her period, though, her nipples get so sensitive that I can hardly touch them. I guess everyone is different.

Lots of good suggestions here. Practice will create pain tolerance over time. Arousal will raise pain tolerance in the moment. My girl is specifically forbidden to do lamaze breathing, because it makes pain much easier to take.

On the technique side, your owner may find reward in long, reasonably gentle warm-ups. When I bottom, I find that it takes about ten minutes of impact play before I get to a place where the pain is enjoyable. For pure warm-up, this will feel like an awfully long time. I can muscle through ten minutes of moderately heavy play before the endorphins kick in, but that mostly takes stubbornness and the knowledge that it will get more enjoyable.

Pain will always hurt. If you can make friends with it and let it show you how strong you are, you may find it very rewarding, but unless you're a very special brand of masochist, it will always hurt.

Master is known as a hard core sadist. I am not a hardcore masochist. Master tells me that he came equipped with a "volume" knob. He maintains it's not about hard he can hit me, it's about the reaction he gets.

Drink whiskey and bite on a pencil.
