Does BD/SM help you tolerate pain to make fibro more bearable?
Asked by Anonymous

So, first of all, BDSM doesn’t always have anything to do with inflicting or dealing with pain. Many people in a BDSM relationship just deal with power play and such. I have had past relationships where pain didn’t come into play at all. There are even people who are only in it to be financially dominated.

Anyway, Fibromyalgia is nueromuscular pain. Any pain experienced in BDSM is not going to be that type of pain. So, yeah…no. I don’t think that could make anyone tolerate the pain from FM more.

The only thing that helps you “tolerate” it is because it is constant, so you get used to it.
