This is the aspect of the BDSM world that most cannot understand. They ask “why would anyone want to be beaten”. It is a dumbfounding idea until you look at what is really transpiring in the brain.
Most can identify with the concept of the “runner’s high”. This is something those who run regularly can achieve. Basically, their body hurts until they get their second wind. What actually occurs is the brain releases endorphins which stimulate activity within the body. At this point, the runner begins to feel like he or she just started running. Of course, not being a runner myself this is what I am told.
The pain that a sub/slave experiences is similar. While the actualy whipping might cause a sensation we refer to as “painful”, the mind overrides this feeling. Like with the runner, the brain will release endorphins which counteract the pain. Many have termed this entering into “subspace”. A trancelike state can be achieved once these are released.
Another interesting conclusion is that the part of the brain which registers pain overlaps with the part that experiences sexual pleasure. This is why many get the pain/pleasure sensation. They feel the pain of the item being used on them while being sexually turned on. It is a good idea to engage in sex while doing this if possible. It will increase her pleasure.
Many have feared this lifestyle because of the pain element. Like always, this is not something for everyone. I would estimate only about 10% of the subs/slaves are “pain sluts”. Yet many find they enjoy a degree of S&M. This might be limited to a light spanking; or perhaps a paddling. Either way, there is pleasure to be derived from implementing this into your sexual activities.
