![]() ![]() They allow time for sensations to be perceived.įrom what others have told me, rapid impacts feel unsatisfyingly painful and one-dimensional compared to a well-paced spanking. Pauses allow essential neurotransmitters to be replenished. Any sensation felt for too long or too intensely feels uncomfortable. Our nervous systems are built for cycles of stimulation and rest. That’s why I always spank slowly, pausing to allow the sensations to be appreciated, as I rub, caress, and inspect. Rather than experiencing a subtle blend of sensations, the impacts would feel like an assault, the blows seeming to merge into an intensely painful throb. ![]() That’s why each whack of a measured caning delivered is felt as a stingy shocking surprise, with every single one making the mind and flesh tingle in a subtly different way.īut if the whacks were delivered in rapid succession, the recipient would be immediately overwhelmed. The same happens with physical sensations, if you spank rapidly, it will feel hot and stingy initially, but soon the alarm will be self-inhibited, leaving the recipient with just the achy thuddy sensation. What happens when a car alarm sounds? First we pay attention to it, and then after a while we just try to ignore it. The thing about alarms is they’re designed to fire quickly, not repeatedly. It is transmitted by the slow response C-fibre nerves, not the fast alarm fibres, so it also feels achy. Thuddy pain is a different sensation, it originates deeper, typically from the pain receptors in the soft tissues beneath the skin and within the muscles. If the first signal is an alert, the follow-up sensation is more of a reminder we’ve been hurt, these last longer, and we perceive them as an ache. The stingy sensation is followed by one that feels duller and hotter, which is carried by uninsulated C-fibres, which propagate signals slower. This is carried by nerves called A-delta fibres, these have some fatty insulation, allowing them to transmit signals quickly, and so these are used for potentially alarming events that could require a fast response. One is a sharp, immediately-felt, impossible to ignore jolt. Stingy pain originates in the skin, and is actually two concurrent sensations. What’s interesting is that these two major nerve pathways enable us to perceive two different kinds of impact - which we feel as ‘stingy’ and ‘thuddy’, and these signals are transmitted to our brains at different speeds. Regardless of the source of the smack, everything gets reduced to a burst of chemical activity in a nerve. These sensations travel along two different nerve pathways to the recipient’s brain. Smacks also trigger pain sensors that detect physical injury to our skin. Impacts like bottom smacks trigger pressure sensors on the skin, which generate the nerve signals that we ultimately interpret as touching, caressing and rubbing. In homage to Daniel Kahneman, let’s talk about spanking, fast and slow. An excellent question, and to answer, it helps to know a little about the science of how spankings are perceived.
