I’m back in Seattle after a fun few days in San Francisco. In a future post I’ll hopefully have some photos to share from the two sessions I did with Domina Yuki.
While they were great sessions, they were less intense than some of the past play we’ve had together (for example here and here). That was at my request. I’ve found that my pain tolerance varies inversely with my general stress level. If I’m stressed then more of my mental and physical capacity is sucked up by that, leaving less for handling kinky pain or torments. With a crazy job, some interment insomnia and the election fallout I’m definitely not at my mental best. That meant steering clear of heavy corporal play or intense CBT on this trip.
One kinky thing that I do find aligns well with stress is bondage. It’s nice to be able to relax and zone out while getting wrapped up. The shot below is a lovely example. This isn’t from my sessions, but was sourced via Trinity’s Bsky feed. You can find the original post here.
Interesting. I’m exactly the opposite. The more stressed I am, the more intense I need the torments and pain to be. I do find bondage relaxing, but even that needs to be more severe and limiting with increasing stress. But then again, I’ve never been into needle play, so to each his own! Hope you had a great holiday and hope you will indeed get to share some photos from your most recent sessions.
Thanks!
It’s interesting the different reactions stress can have. I think for some (me) it’s a budget scenario – I’ve only got so much capacity which I have to share out. For others it’s a balance scenario – whatever life is throwing at them they want/need to counter-balance in kink. Sounds like you’re in the latter camp.
