Spankees, do you find that your pain tolerance changes throughout the month (if you're female, obviously)?
I think mine does change..maybe not drastically...but does change. I usually chalk it up to my emotions are so unstable there isn't the normal processing of pain in my head. The pain is probably still just the same as always and my tolerance should be the same as always but there is just some short in the wiring. Almost equates to difference in fun/discipline - I normally can take alot more in fun just because the mental/emotional allows it but in a discipline setting i don't remain stoic at even the slightest sometimes because of the mental/emotional sending to my brain it is more painful just due to the emotional setting.
If you are spanked on a regular basis, has your pain tolerance gone up over time? Does it depend on the warm up, or time lapsed between spankings?
I unfortunately am not in a situation where regular spankings come that often. I normally go 2 months between spankings and that is on the low end. It does seem my first spanking out the gate is a little tougher to get through and then the ones that follow in quicker succession are easier and my markings are less so I would say "conditioning" does play some part in pain tolerance at least for me. Of course i am one of the blessed/cursed few that start with a high pain tolerance so the difference isn't to extreme but there is some there that at least i can pick up on for myself. I am also one that if i'm going to play at the level that pleases me i HAVE to have a warmup. The warmup does not only take the extreme bite off of certain "tough" implements, but also increases the time period it takes to mark me in other than a lovely overall red and thus increases the amount of time i get to play at my preferred tolerance level.
If your tolerance has indeed gone up as you've been spanked more regularly, what have you found (if anything) that you can do that can break through that 'toughness' you've developed?
The only thing that i've found to break through my pain tolerance at current level is a nice long hot soaking bath....(I think i heard some grumbles from the audience)...I've only done it once but i did notice a big difference in how i seemed more tender than normal.

So there is my two cents worth....for what that is worth.
