A little about myself, 57 years old, decent shape, work out at least once a week. Kegels for about the last year. For a little over a month now I've been dealing with a shoulder issue that feels like a possible pinched nerve. It aches like a toothache for the most part, until I take some meds for it, which knocks it back, but doesn't make the pain go away entirely. Now I'm not into pain by any means, but it is acting as the door into full body orgasms when I have been riding my Aneros here lately! It doesn't feel like you are having an orgasm, it feels like you ARE the orgasm! It feels incredible to say the least and it doesn't feel like it emanates from the prostate much as it has in the past. There is some pain with it (shoulder still) and it tends to climb in intensity as long as the orgasm endures, but I have been able to ride the orgasm for a very long period of time before I have to take a breather (tens of minutes, then I can start back up right away if I want). It used to be that I would have to wait at least a week before I could ride again and get ANYTHING out of it. Now it's like every day if I have the time.
My Dr. says that the shoulder looks fine on the MRI but also states that a pinched nerve or anything going on with the nervous system in that area wouldn't show up anyways.
What I'm curious about is why this is acting as a connection and if anyone else has ever had this happen? I know some of us get off on pain, and I've never understood how or why that could be until now! Thoughts???
I can't tell you why you are getting off on pain, but I can tell you that I definitely get off on pain. I get pleasure from pinching, scratching, biting, and hard sucking, most anywhere on my body. I also have very sensitive testicles with a very low pain threshold, and so I play with that threshold to achieve some very intense orgasms.
I didn't always like pain, it was something that grew on me over the years, starting with a particularly dominant partner who showed me how it could be very pleasureful. I don't like all pain, nor do I like or want it all the time. If I have a stomach ache or an actual injury, it is rare that I will get any pleasure from it, though I have had a few experiences where extreme pain presented itself as an orgasm.
Is pain simply the stimulation of nerves, just like caresses or muscles tensing? Maybe. When I was a teenager I realized that I when I was tickled, instead of laughing, I could feel the sensations as pleasure. I think the same is true for pain. Instead of focusing on the fact that it hurts, I focus on the more interesting sensations, and let myself fall into interesting psychological states...
Maybe some ppl have wiring for pain. Or maybe it can be rewired. I never liked pain in any sexual setting.
But I’ve grown to appreciate it. Nothing extreme but some swats on the testicles from my wife’s riding crop or some spanking is rather enjoyable now.
