Another Question About Marks and Soreness

It drives me nuts at Shadow Lane party weekends -- by Sunday night, I am toast after 2 1/2 days of non-stop play, but no one believes me! "Whaddaya mean, you're sore? There isn't a mark on you!" (grumble) -- Erica

Yeah when i went to the Laptops party my bottom wasn't marked and I said I was fine and then the second day hit and I was like...I'm a little tender!

I must say I am like the rest of you.... hours/days of play and hardly anything to show for it by the next day. Depending on whether the spanking was for play or discipline will determine if I even feel sore the next day. I tend to notice more of the surface pain if I'm driving alot the next day, but it's been ALONG time since it was still "tender" for me to sit down the next day.... I do have to pace myself during the multi-day events because i will be marked and bruised the first day, and clear but sore the next.... Like most of you, I miss being able to look in the mirror the next day and see the marks. I too love looking at them, touching them, and feeling the effects. Just doesn't seem to happen as often since I play more regularly now.

Hello, my name is Aurora, and I'm an arnica addict...

With my fair skin, all you have to do is look at me harshly, and I'll bruise. I turn bright red with just a few swats. Hell, I still have a cane mark from December on one of my thighs.

As far as soreness goes... I feel like I'm dying during the course of a spanking, as if every nerve ending in centered on the pain burning in my ass. But as soon as it's over, the pain fades pretty quickly. I've never really understood the whole "you won't be able to sit for a week thing", because I've taken some pretty majorly severe spankings, and never really had any prolonged issue with sitting.

I don't think I mark as easily as I did when I first began earning them as an adult. I remember up to two or three days after I could still feel a faint soreness. Now, that really depends on the implement & intensity. I do mark but near as easily. But what is weird about mine I guess- as far as marks or bruises go,they never show up right away.Sometimes it is hours later, even up to the next day before bruises appear.

This is a very strange phenomenon (I know, big word). I have an ex-girlfriend who wouldn't show hardly anything on her bottom until a day or 2 after the spanking, when bruises would start to show.

I've also noticed with models we've worked with through the years at AS that somedays they will show redness and/or bruises and other days they will not. And the severity of the spanking will be almost exactly the same.

It's a very bizarre thing that I've yet to figure out.

I suppose bottoms are all a little different. My most recnt ex was very difficult to "work out". The first time I gave her a hand spanking, and believe me it was not a severe one, she turned a nice shade of red. The next morning it was blotchy red kind of like popped blood vessels and by that evening her entire bottom was bruised like I'd taken a big paddle to her severely. She was so bruised I felt bad when I saw it, but there was not much pain, just a little tender when she sat down and she asked me to spank her again and harder the following night. But I also had a girl I could stripe from the tops of her knees all the way up with a tawse who would turn a nice shade of red for a few days and have that surface and muscle soreness.

I guess it's just a matter of figuring out the best way to spank a naughty bottom, or to have your naughty bottom spanked.

Being in Florida now makes it a little tricky because a red or bruised bottom does'nt cover well with a bikini, so things have to be planned for non beach days.
