Ok, so if the idea of BDSM / Kink squicks you, turn back now. Not getting graphic, but discussing some aspects.
So my DH and I are somewhat kinky. I'm a switch, he's a sub (who switches because he loves me ).
We're not super hardcore, but we do sometimes incorporate flogging, spanking and other sensation play into our intimate time. I've read a fair bit of literature on kink and safe play, and ideas for play etc. One thing that I've picked up from doing fun things with DH and from reading is the concept of "intense sensation." This is the thought that a particular act, while it may cross the line from purely pleasurable into something else, is not necessarily painful. A more accurate description would be an intense sensation, one that requires your focus and can be overwhelming, but doesn't really hurt. It may evolve into pain as the play continues, but it may not; it may just be intense.
I think this concept can be applied to labor delivery. I wonder if me already knowing how to accept and surrender to other kinds of physically intense sensations will give me an edge in contractions?
