There\u2019s not much that feels better than an orgasm. But have you ever thought about how strange it is that pain can heighten arousal when you\u2019re going hot and heavy?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many women\u2014and some men, too\u2014like being choked, having their hair pulled, or being slapped in a variety of places&#8230;but only during sex. Try doing that when you\u2019re post-coitus cuddling or at the dinner table, and the response isn\u2019t going to be so great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, why does pain feel amazing during sex?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the answer for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Secret to Pain, Arousal, and Satisfaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time we actively avoid anything that hurts. This begs the question, what makes sex different?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Human sexuality is a varied and complicated thing. There are animal instincts that have evolved for tens of thousands of years. And then there are cultural ideologies and personal experiences that influence what feels good, and what doesn\u2019t, during foreplay and sex.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are, you\u2019ve slept with some people that love pushing the boundaries during sexual encounters, and others that simply have zero desire for that sort of thing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we look at biology and evolution, it appears that thirsting for pain during sex is the natural inclination, particularly for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Sex and Pain Are Tied&#8230;For Women<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to share a secret with you that you might not know as a man\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The start of sex is almost always painful for women<\/em>. And, if you have a large penis, there\u2019s no way to avoid pain throughout the entire escapade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, women enjoy sex. The pain that comes from it simultaneously seeds pleasure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we take a look at what\u2019s going on inside of our bodies and minds, you\u2019ll find that the same chemicals are released during pain, pleasure, and acts of violence. These chemicals, which include neurotransmitters like serotonin and hormones like norepinephrine, all result in one thing: arousal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you stub your toe, even if you were tired before, you\u2019re going to feel a rush&#8230;you just might not enjoy it. The same thing happens when you inflict violence or experience pleasure\u2014the brain just interprets whether it\u2019s a good or bad thing based on what else is happening at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, consider the phenomenon of the runners high. What starts out as a bit of fatigue and pain can build into pure ecstasy. But if you\u2019re not in shape, once you finish, the pain may be what you pay more attention to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>But Pain Isn\u2019t Always Fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some people, primarily a small percentage of women, the pain associated with sex can turn them off of sex completely. This typically comes as a result of a negative experience, such as child sexual abuse or other sexual trauma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After someone experiences a negative painful sexual encounter, the pain can override the pleasure centers, making all sex painful, and not in a good way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Enjoying Healthy BDSM Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BDSM, which stands for Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism, isn\u2019t a new idea. The interrelatedness of pain and pleasure, and dominance and submission, in sex has <a href=\"https:\/\/observationdeck.kinja.com\/bdsm-culture-through-history-and-to-the-present-maybe-1685471371\">long been practiced<\/a>. You\u2019ll even find this type of pleasure discussed in ancient Kama Sutra texts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to using pain for pleasure is engaging in mutually healthy sexual experiences. When you and your partner have open communication and the desire to enhance one another\u2019s sexual experiences, you can incorporate dominance and submission to boost satisfaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your partner doesn\u2019t want to be dominated, let her dominate you. Bring candle wax, whips, handcuffs, or blindfolds into the bedroom and ask her to do with them as she pleases. Once you open the floodgates for dominant sexual play, your sex life will take off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Big Penises and the Pleasure\/Pain Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Guys who are well-endowed naturally incorporate pleasure and pain in every sexual encounter. Both girth and length initially cause discomfort and pain that quickly transitions into intense pleasure. This is likely why most women prefer men with bigger dicks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not naturally as big as you\u2019d like to be, there are a number of things that you can do. For starters, consider using penis sleeves to increase her sensation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you want to take part in the pleasure, it\u2019s best if you have a bigger Johnson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you could get male enhancement surgery, there\u2019s a safer and less expensive route: male enhancement exercises.
