In search of my limitations and to try get to know my body better, I have been experimenting with play piercing. I think permanent piercings can look good, (although face piercings don't look attractive to me) but I have no desire for anything permanent for myself. The attraction for me is the control of my own aversion to pain by sending a needle through my own skin. (Of course I am well aware of all the safety and sterilising requirements and have spend much time reading up on such matters and take appropriate measures.)
Its been an interesting exercise, I started with a nipple and am amazed at how tough the skin is to pierce..! Also found a lot of nerves I didn't know I had. I put the needle under my nipple and slowly added pressure until I could feel the skin give way, easily passing through the soft tissue under the nipple and then difficult again to exit just above. The feeling is difficult to describe, painful, but also calming and exilarating at the same time. Also got a very big hard-on, not sure how the two are connected.. I enjoyed the feeling for a while until it started to ache a little then I pulled the needle out, leaves a small mark, but no bleeding. Skin is amazing stuff..
I used to wonder why someone would deliberately stick needles into themselves and could not see how they would enjoy pain... but I can see now that its not quite like that.. its not the same pain as you would feel if say someone was to do this to you against your will, or if you accidentally pricked yourself.
I'm going to try some more and in different places to see how it feels, but I feel like I've started to unlock a part of my mind I didn't know existed...
