Ramblings

Nailed

by Nimue on September 7, 2010

Now, as those of you who follow my twitter will know, my kitty has been in the vets again, but he came home last night.  He’s got a check-up later, but hopefully he’s all good now.

But I’m not going to ramble on about my kitty, or the fun I had over the weekend in this post, I’ve got something a lot more specific in mind to write about today!!

This morning, kaya posted a couple of new pics on her profile on fetlife and on her blog, and one of these really spoke to me.  No, not the one of her covered in chocolate and sprinkles (although, that did obviously inspire me to want to lick it all off her), but the one of her holding a board up under her tits.  Which had been nailed to the board.

One thing that really struck me about the picture, was how calm her face appears to be.  There is slight tension, but overall, she looks….. well, accepting.

Being nailed to a board is something that’s been on my mind since I first got into bdsm.  It’s always struck me as such a powerful image, to hold myself there while someone nails me to a board.  I did something similar on my first ever shoot with ThePainFiles

Nimue's tit needles

But it was needles, not nails, and to me there is a big difference between the two.  Needles are designed to cut through the flesh, nails aren’t. The needles were all placed through my flesh, then i was leant forwards and they were pressed into the board beneath me.  Slightly different to the brutality of nails being hammered through unwilling flesh.

One day, I hope to try nailing.  Talking to W today, he is interested in doing it, but it’s not something I’m ready for.  Maybe it’s something we can build up to, using progressively larger needles, but I think in reality, nothing can prepare you fully for an experience like this.  You just have to decide and go for it.

Increasing Pain tolerance

by Nimue on September 3, 2010

My pain tolerance seems to be varying wildly at the moment, and I’m not sure why, but I’m definately enjoying it!

I know that part of it is probably that I’m back to playing regularly after an extended break, but I’m not sure it’s entirely that.  My tastes are changing as well.  I used to really love a nice heavy flogging on my back.  Lots of thud and no sting.  The other day W and I decided that a nice flogging was in order and I was really looking forward to it, but after He began, it became clear that it wasn’t going to be the enjoyable experience we had been looking forward to.  Honestly, it bored me.

After a little bit of talking,  we tried something else – a nice stingy cat.  And wow, it felt good.  Hard strokes with time to process the pain in between.  Just a couple of strokes and I was flying.  Taking an amount of pain I would usually scream and fight through, with just a deep breath on each stroke.  No noise, no screams, just feeling it flow through me.  Only on the final stroke did I break, knowing it was over, I sobbed.  It was an amazing feeling and I felt wonderful afterwards.

But this is becoming more of a usual thing for me.  Any “warm up” just bores me and annoys me.  I want hard strokes from the start, with time to process in between.  And then it’s not long before I’m asking for it harder, harder, harder. The past few times that W has caned me, I’ve wanted more and more and more – he had to call a stop long before I would.

I don’t know why this change is happening, maybe it is because I am looking towards the judicial caning we are planning on doing.  One of our favourite clubs has a demo every month, and we are talking to the owner about doing a judicial caning demo.  I am definately very excited about doing it, at the moment, more excited than scared, though I know the scared will hit soon.  I’m looking forward to being able to take how ever many strokes I’m told, and I want to take them as calmly as possible with as little noise as possible.  I know that might not happen, I might be screaming from the first stroke……. but the way my pain threshold is going at the moment…. who knows!!!

Not always easy….

August 17, 2010

Submission isn’t always easy.  Sometimes it really sucks.  Like yesterday. W made a decision that I didn’t agree with.  In fact, I felt that he was wrong and unfair in making the choice he did.  I was convinced that I knew better what the best action in the situation would be.  So I sulked.  I [...]

30 Days of Kink….

August 12, 2010

Ok, Ok, I know…. I’ve been quiet, and then I come back with a meme……. But, this *should* be a more interesting one than most are. Rayne over at Insatiable Desires posted this, and I thought it looked very interesting.  Don’t worry, I’m not going to do 30 days solid of this, but it will [...]

A bondage filled weekend

July 26, 2010

This weekend was great fun, with a lot of bondage – a lot more than I usually get!!  It started out on Saturday morning with me heading to Warrington for a bondage for photographers workshop, which was great fun.  It was run by Rod, the rigger and photographer behind all these images, and was aimed [...]

Sexual or Spiritual (part bondage)

July 23, 2010

Yesterday, I talked about how the SM side of play can be anything from sexual to spiritual for me, but today I want to talk about bondage, and how that feels for me. For me, there is nothing sexual about bondage.  It is something very, very different.  But only if it is tight, stressful bondage.  [...]

Sexual or spiritual? (part one)

July 22, 2010

For a lot of people, i think that BDSM is purely sexual – they do it cos it gets them wet or hard.  And there’s nothing at all wrong with that, but for me, BDSM is more than just foreplay.  In fact, I would be perfectly happy if there was never any “sex” involved in [...]

Wimping out

July 6, 2010

Sometimes play doesn’t always go as you’d like it to.  That’s what happened when W and I tried to play a couple of weeks ago.  We were both in the mood to play, I was in a playful mood and I knew I was going to get a spanking.  Messing around and teasing, kneeling on [...]

Just a Quickie

Resistance is a State of Mind

June 12, 2010

As promised, here’s one of my blogs about the bits of the conference I didn’t cover in my first blog. One of the workshops I personally gained most from was the resistance play one.  It was taken by a lovely couple who are obviously very into resistance in their own play and wanted to share [...]
