I can't say that I've ever been a bloody and bruised mess, but marked up and slightly discolored, I've definitely been. It used to be that I could withstand an hour or two of corporal punishment in the form of open hand, floggers, or canes. But now, I don't think I could handle it.

What would be a way that one could regain the ability to go for long sessions, and even push past the point of just marks? I know one thing is do it more. But what is your idea for becoming, or creating a pain slut?
