Branding

[Jones, Nikka]

...The guys and gals who repair tissue scarred by burns of this sort would rather spend their time and effort helping rebuild children crippled by fire...
...Some sorts of exteme BDSM acts are best left to fiction. Our minds are the most awesome erotic organ ever developed. The plasticity of our minds allow us to explore erotic concepts that we could (and should) not actually experience in reality. Let us never confuse our erotic fantasies with reality and thereby cause injury that will ultimately have to either be lived with, or repaired. There is too much suffering in the world that we need to make right, too many injured children to be healed. Let us not add to the work load.

Thank you very much for your advice, e.e.norcod. When you put it like that, well, it is a lot easier to disengage the erotic motor that sometimes seems to drive my every thought. I guess the word 'children' is what helped change my mind. I am a painslut. I am also trying to be a responsible painslut. And I will carefully consider your words.

Well, someone DID mention we were awaiting your response, ee norcord....Many thanks for stepping forth. Although, I was curious about a more graphic physical description, than a psychological one, since I find myself rather interested in this topic. Well said enough, though.

Nikka, I could not respond myself, as I know of none who have experience (including me, or is it "I"?), and I wished not to taint your thoughts with opinions of my own on such a serious topic.....

Glad you posted, e.e and being on the other end of the spectrum (having experienced both chemical and natural heat burns over 5% of my body and having to stay in a burn unit for over a month for the reconstruction you speak of) I fully understand and comprehend what you are saying. Though, in all fairness to the original poster, it is an individual decision and as long as you are an adult you have the right to make that decision, either way and with regards to the consequences. I would only say that you need to do your research (in depth)... prepare yourself for the worst and hope for the best... if you choose to do something permanent such as branding or scarification.

Thank you for posting e.e.norcod. As always voice of reason and caution, even though I have to admit being a tad disappointed … like Katmandu I was hoping for more hands on “how to safely and for best results” if one decides to go on with it.

Albear, that etching sounds really interesting, thanks for link!

[e.e. norcod]

I am glad that I cast some thoughts for consideration upon the waters. Having said what I did let me offer some alternate options. How about a prenuptual caning?

Perhaps Nikka in seeking a commerative painfest should consider the following. At an appropriate interval before the event the bride to be should present herself to a panel of her peers. They will order her to disrobe to a degree sufficient to expose her nether regions. They will bind her four extremities upon a carpenter's horse such that no matter how much she struggles she cannot escape her fate. Then an implement will be chosen - perhaps a rattan can, or a switch trimmed from a resilient hardwood, or maybe a plastic or fiberglass rod - with which to chastise our friend. This will not be a casual punishment resulting in a few red marks upon the buttocks. This will be the serious infliction of pain resulting in bruises that stretch from side to side and from the iliacs to half way down the thighs. Nikka may need to experience what it feels like to have the bleeding of lacerated skin staunched with vinegar.

It is not that I am opposed to exploring the relationship between pain, the loss of control inherent in bondage and erotic arousal. But I believe that the complexities of our kinks can be examined without resorting to scenerios that cause damage that is difficult to repair. I suspect that Nikka has not sufficiently experienced the ultimate spectrum of pain that can be inflicted with the cane, switch or whip, slowly and properly yielded. Do not venture lightly into the truely dark side of eroticism before you have fully explored that which can be done without causing irreversible damage.

Too often we committ ourselves to something that seems thrilling but in reality is damaging without having fully examined the spectrum of stimulation that is available to us at reasonable risk.

Bravo, Sir. Such a pleasure to hear your thoughts! However, methinks our sweet Nikka was looking for a more 'permanent' show of dedication to her fiance, with whom she has already and always has explored the realm of pain and pleasure that is BDSM. The pain issue, as it were, was merely to be a side benefit. So, with that in mind, anyone else have ideas on "what" and "how" Miss Nikka can mark herself for her beloved?

You sound a little like you're hosting a chat show Kats.

Still, as chat shows go, it would make a change from 'my dogs auntie's mothers cat is sleeping with my husband'.

*hears chants of 'Ni-kka, Ni-kka' replacing 'Jerry, Jerry'* LOL

Mmmm!
That sounds really good, e.e.norcod, but like Katmandu stated, I am thinking about something a bit more permanent. Though I still have to try one of them Norcod whips that I read about in Candy amongst the Christians

Thanks for the cheering Mobius.

How about etching?...Apparantly it's similar to scarification, essentially a scar. It's supposed to be more precise than branding, so you could have a more intricate or delicate design.

Thanks for the info, albear. This seems to be the next best thing to branding, although it may require several sessions, given the fact that my skin heals extremely fast and its colour makes scars almost invisible.

I was on a flight recently to Florida, and because I always do, I was looking through the SkyMall catalog in the seat pocket. I was actually looking through it for the second time when I noticed this

If anyone is interested in branding their initials, I'm sure ordering one of those could come in handy. By the way, SkyMall has about 10 items total that are rather commonplace in the vanilla world, but have 'other' uses, so next time your flying, ignore the safety instruction speech, and flip through the SkyMall. It sure makes the flight more fun right jules?
