I don't think I can ever handle bull whips, but what is the hierarchy within the whip spectrum? By the way, the longest duration of marks lasting on my butt and back is about 2 weeks.


This reminds me I was writing something about pain for my blog and never finished.

Pain is both physical and psychological. Several factors go into how one "tolerates" pain. Warm ups, desensitization, and various techniques to alter perception.

Go to a Domme who grasps these things and can consciously work with you to help you grow here.
