Bondage, Fetish and Physical Fitness
I've been having some trouble sleeping lately. I think I have too much on my mind. Last Friday I tossed and turned until like five and I finally gave up. By six I decided to go up to Malibu and do some surfing. I fell asleep that night though pretty easily but no wonder. Then Saturday morning I woke up super early again, lots of stuff on my mind and I just couldn't fall asleep again. I think I'm getting over it now though because I fell asleep pretty easily last night and slept in a little today. Of course now I have to go to the gym and exercise which believe it or not is fun for me. I love to do physical activity because I feel so good afterwards. Maybe that's another reason why I like sex so much. It's not only physically active so I get to feeling good from that, but hey, its sex you know? It does feel good and its the most fun!
The nice thing about bondage is that in a way, it's also exercise. I get stretched into all kinds of wierd positions that I have to hold for, well however long I have to hold it for. Let's face it, when you're locked up or hanging or whatever, you don't have much choice. It's good to build up some muscle and flexibility and then you can have endurance and be better able to physically handle it. That's one of the things I see a lot is people have a fantasy about being in bondage for long periods of time, but their bodies aren't used to it and so its not just that they can feel sore for a few days after, but they can actually do some damage. It's like running a marathon you know? You have to build up to it. First you're suspended or hogtied for twenty minutes. Then go to forty and an hour or whatever. I can do some pretty long suspensions by my arms now and hogties don't bother me so much although my legs usually end up falling asleep on me after a while.
I feel sorry for the girls with big breasts who like breast bondage though. I've seen some at parties who were suspended in party by their tits. It's very cool to watch though. Their tits balloon up and are squeezed through their restraints, popping and bulging and turning purplish. You can't do this kind of suspension for very long, it's just not safe, but even a few minutes of it I'm sure would be agony. I guess in that respect I'm lucky that my tits are so small it would be impossible to even come close to suspending me by them.
There are other areas where physical fitness can help in bondage. If you're a dominant who likes to whip or spank, hey that kind of repetative motion can get tiring after a while, but if you've built up good arm strength and have good cardio going, then you should be able to handle it fine. I know if I'm suspended, sometimes when I'm put up or taken down I need to be held and brought down. Now I'm less than 100 pounds so its not a big deal to do that for me but if you're a heavier girl (and there are quite a few in the bdsm scene) or you're a dominant girl doing that with a man, well that's going to be more challenging.
I'm not sure how I started babbling about how physical fitness and bondage play interact, but I think I've said all I can about it and so now I'm just writing to see more words on the screen. I think that's a pretty good indication that its time to put down the fingers and walk away from the keyboard.

Too small to tie but plenty of nipple for a nice pair of clamps to cruelly squeeze and lift you onto your tippy toes...
A couple of years back scientists discovered that regardless of size, breasts and nipples carry almost the same amount of nerve tissue. This means that small breasts are much more sensitive.
Another group found that redheads are more sensitive to pain. So if know the beautiful and renowned painslut Madison Young...

...Actually, I find that I do some of my best writing when I'm slightly overtired. Opens up a part of the brain I think doesn't get used much in everyday life.
Anyway, I agree with you about the idea of S&M conditioning. I was thinking about this the other day when I was hearing a group of dommes talk about folks they scened with who were complaining about not being able to hold something very long. My first thought was wondering if they'd stretched or not. Seems to me like that's something not considered very often and it should be. A creative pair could find some interesting ways to work it into the scene, I'm sure.

If you want to make suspenssions a bit easier, look at your rigging setup.
A 3-1 block and tackle(http://www.swe.org/iac/lp/pulley_03.html) will make hoisting a 200lbs load more seem like a 60 lbs load. Now tie the end off to a snap shackle and lowering your load is as easy as yanking the release pin.
If you want more control on the decent, add a munter hitch (http://www.animatedknots.com/muntermule/index.php?LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com), positioned to take the weight, once the snap shackle releases. These are just loose numbers, but a person only needs to apply about 3 lbs of breaking force if both the munter and the 3-1 block & tackle are in place. Less for the double munter.
A child could safely control the decent of a 200 LBS person with this rigging.
Yeah, I'm the geek who posted the comment about the dual USB hard drives and sync software in the laptop entry.
Good stretching is super helpful for both Dominants and submissives; especially subs about to endure body-altering restraint positions that require pulling, such as arms in an arm binder. Just your basic stretching techniques help and can be a workout if planned properly, but for great core strength you can't go wrong with basic Pilates (I recommend the book 'Pilates for Wimps' since JUST ABOUT EVERY BODY PART is covered in some form of exercise routine, including the mouth!).
Repetition is required in exercise to induce muscle memory: therefore in practice exercised movement should be consistent or close to similar to the movements required to deliver Domination. There's a reason why batters in baseball take batting practice; the same principal applies to those who use paddles, crops, floggers, whips and even their hands. Practice without a partner; spank a pillow, flog your mattress, etc. Alter your direction of striking flow; you work different muscles in the shoulders, arms, and back; different muscles work when the angles change.
