Mistress Maya Midnight,

Thanks so much for your perspective on this. I agree that alcohol doesn't seem like it would induce the right mental state for serious play.

I'd love to know which can enhance a subs ability to take pain. I've considered poppers in this category. They seemed to help keep me calm in the face of pain, without blunting the sensation of pain. I wouldn't want anything that actually reduced the intensity of the pain. But a downside is the super short time of effectiveness. Is there anything longer lasting in this category?

With gratitude,
tab
