Loved getting my other ear piercings the gasp afterwards is refreshing. I suppose not until you're tied up and getting a proper lashing (SPOILER)(that wasn't meant to sound quite so kinky) do you realise whether you can handle pain or not.

Personally though, I'm pretty good with sharp pain (i.e. say, you fall into/onto glass and all that and you're bleeding and it's all messy) but I hate blunt pain, such as bruises and things. Something about that dullness makes me whine. A lot.
