Theraputic Spanking

[madhat]

Hello.  I'm seeking information on spanking for a the***utic purpose.  Does any one have experience with this?

[Dreamaway]

In relation to therapy for what exactly? For most people, both the spanked and spankee, it's the***utic in a sexual manner anyway.

I often spank myself. For non sexual pleasure. Sometimes it's like a massage effect. I find it very relaxing. I enjoy being spanked for sexual pleasure also, but I'm very specific about how it's done. I'm naturally dominant but i like to instruct people how to do it properly so I get what I want from it. I also love to spank others again for my own satisfaction. Sometimes it's sexual and other times it's just a release of tension or stress. I have a friend who I like to speak because we get into debates and she's cheeky and she just needs it sometimes. She loves it though. It's out way off saying... Even though we argue and debate stuff we still live each other. I also love the feel of wood on my bare bum. I want a new wooden spanking instrument

I've seen claims it cuts down on cellulite, is that what you mean? in mental terms I find the release of giving up control and having some erotic *** is a great release from a job where I'm expected to be an expert, similar to the release of being a sub generally for me.

It's possible to use spanking and other BDSM practices for the***utic purposes. I have some experience of this. It's a combination of using physical and mental domination with a person and really depends on the submissive. 

Spanking releases those happy hormones so it's a bit like a drug. That high becomes addictive for some people though. 

It's a lot like counselling or therapy. You can get so far with the help of your therapist, but attachment (transference) is likely to occur and at some point the subject has to move or grow towards independence.

the same endorphins released by exercise? what used to be called the runner's high

I don't know precisely if they're the same ones. I think there's a bunch of dopamine involved, which is the addictive one.

@Kymi definitely a natural high, like runner's high

I believe it's the same ones.  Your brain realises your body hurts so releases them to help

I never really believed how powerful they were until I broke my leg last year, in four places. It was a good 10 minutes before the *** hit. I actually thought I could stand (despite my leg being snapped in half) as there was no ***, at all, at first. When it did I would have given anything for that feeling in the first 10 mins. It's weird, from the second I broke my leg until the *** hit I felt totally, utterly calm.

that's probably a big reason why we offer our bottoms up.  The feeling of calm and even ecstasy that is triggered when the endorphins are released.  Its something only those who submit can really understand, and its something I really miss in lockdown, maybe as @MsWhiteRosesuggests the dopamine is addictive, its certainly gives me release that I would call the***utic

there is the risk that it *is* addictive (subdrop is effectively withdrawal symptoms) and so it's something a lot of subs have to manage for *** of making reckless choices trying to get the feeling back

This helped me realise that i'm suffering from that!

I haven't had the release i get when Pirate and i play and it's driving me absolutely nuts!

This has been an interesting time for me. I'm still sober! In the interest of transparency, i did have a few drinks the other day. I had a total of about 12 units in a "session" over a couple of days. I needed it, for a host of reasons, including that i don't need my old habits to see me through things.

Lockdown threw me into a bit of a spin but i'm actually appreciating it now. The time, for me, proper, real "me" time.

 

I had only recently found my feet, really, when lockdown started and i was thrown by it. I've settled now. Using the time to chat more with friends, i'm writing and finding a lot of things to do. Reconnecting with my family and my ex and i are starting to get along.

 

Everything was/is going so well for me and yet i still felt this, idk, yearning for something. It's the endorphins....

 

*eyes up flogger* 

Self flaggelation is a thing, right?

I hadn't thought of that either....

***y good point.

@LazyPiratesBounty please post how self flagellation gets on, I've never thought much of it but in the absence of someone else may get desperate enough if it works for you lol

I'm seriously considering it!

I could do it in the name of research 😄

Trauma on the level of breaking a leg will often put the body into shock for a short period of time and it ignores the *** during that period.  It is not the same as an endorphin release someone might get from a spanking.

Attitude towards the spanking may have something to do with it.  Little kids who are being spanked for a punishment will act like they're going to die even if it's just a light spanking.  Adults who enjoy extreme spanking may still get the endorphin rush even if welts or bruises are being left.

shouldn't that be especially if welts and bruises are being left, and of course there's often the anticipation of what comes next that makes offering my bare bottom for a good caning so the***utic

Whilst shock is unrelated to endorphin release.  There's still an endorphin release caused in something like breaking a leg.

No, I meant "even if" due to the previous broken leg comment.  Physical damage is being done in both cases, but one leads to shock and the other leads to endorphins.
