Temporary Piercing / Needle Play
» Atypical BDSM
Rose of the Big Hush tried to sum up the feeling. “Pain orgasm” is an interesting phrase.
The pain is pretty sharp and abrupt, but doesn’t last long. For me, the feeling of intensity outways the pain considerably. I like to describe being pierced as something like a pain orgasm. There’s a sharp sensation right away which rapidly blossoms into a wave of pain that seems pretty independent of the piercing location. The pain diminishes rapidly once the needle stops moving. The piercing seems to cause an almost immediate release of endorphins. It can be a pretty rapid trip to subspace if you aren’t already there.
A different response to play piercing:
“Ow! Fu….hey, that doesn’t actually hurt! I mean…it’s painful… I think, but it doesn’t…hurt.” I said as a mixture of confusion, joy, and enlightenment raced across my face. I know it doesn’t really make any sense, but that’s how it felt at that instant.
Ten Basic Temporary Piercing Principles including the all important:
Do not attempt to temporarily pierce a person without proper training and education.
Unlike the more familiar permanent piercings, play piercings are temporary body piercings, usually made with thin needles, where the needle itself is left in for the duration of the scene and taken out at the end rather than replaced by jewellery. This game is usually regarded as an advanced SM speciality but is actually less heavy than it sounds, and relatively easy and safe provided proper precautions are taken.
