So, after my turn on top making T. have to ask for each stroke, I got my just desserts, and found myself on the bottom end of that scenario last week.
It was the first time that I had been the bottom in that particular mindfuck-y scene, and I have to say, I really loved it. Partly because I have a wimpy ass that can’t take a whole lot of intense pain, and partly because I just love a good mindfuck, whether I’m giving or receiving.
Being able to control how often I get hit, by asking “More, please, ma’am,” (which, by the way, is a MOUTHFUL, and feels like it takes about 5 minutes to say!) helps me to take a longer scene, because if any given stroke really hurt, I can wait as long as I need to before the next one. T. and I also worked out a way to ask for a specific implement, or even ask for a certain number of strokes with a given toy (like, “Ma’am, I can take 5 more with the crop, but then I need a different toy,”). Brilliant.
As for the mindfuck-y aspect — it’s almost like I’m mindfucking *myself,* because I got to a point where I was making deals with myself, like “Okay, just one more; I only have to take this one more, and then I can stop,” but then after T. gave me that one more — theoretically one *last* — stroke, I’d decide that no, I could take more, really I could, and I’d ask for another.
I found myself asking for more than I thought I would, and asking more quickly (i.e., not much time between swats) as well.
I assure you, my ass really hurt the next day. In a good way.

Now you have raised a very good question. Is it better to have recovery time between strokes or to have them arrive very quickly.
The fast pain receptors would stop reacting with the rapid strokes so that more ‘damage’ can be done and hence the pain the following day when the slow pain receptors kick in.
With a slower rate of strokes the fast pain receptors would have the required recovery time and therefore continue to send you messages about what is happening. And you may also get to feel the response by the slow pain receptors doubling the pain effect in the present time.

I’m glad you blogged about this. I need to try it with Joscelin again soon.
