Some submissive persons enjoy pain, others hate it. The latter are often seeking a means to increase their pain tolerance.
I’ve found that the more submissive I’m feeling the better able I am to handle pain.
As your own sense of submission deepens does this increase your own masochism or at least boost your capacity to accept pain?

Pain….ah yes, sweet pain.
i was at a pain tolerance workshop in San Francisco taught by Miss Janice Hardy. It was worth it. i went because i was in a phase where my submission was deepening. Better submission leads to better dominance.
On a personal level, my ability to handle pain is somewhat tied to my body fat levels, as i am very slender and more fat equals more pain.
This does not address mental or spiritual pain, only physical pain.

my wike spanks me she uses a plastic bath brush. it really stings and i endup crying like a little kid. discipline like this soon keeps me from getting her upset and having to deal with long drawn out bickering or hours of silence. the pain of such a whipping prevents future repeat acts.
I find that the more tired I am, the more submissive I feel. Therefore, if my DOMME WIFE sees that I am tired, then she can use me as her pain slut. I sometimes beg for the cane even if I did nothing wrong. If we go to bed and she sees that I am real tired, she will give me 6-10 with the cane. Then she will tell me to go and do some ironing or scrub the bathroom. I am what I am.
M never uses pain as a punishment, only as in intensification of experience; it’s a reward, if anything. For a masochist pain is a sort of counterproductive punishment — sort of like that scene in Secretary where Lee, the sub secretary/slave-in-training, starts deliberately putting typos in her Dom attorney employer’s letters in hope of getting spanked. I don’t think M’s ever exceeded out my (physical) pain tolerance, but she’s probably more gentle than many. Psychological or spiritual pain is off limits for fun and games — M’s rule, but it accords with my preferences. I don’t know whether being more submissive enhances my pleasure in experience pain. I try to be as submissive as possible anyway, and my tolerance is pretty high. I’m not interested in increasing my pain tolerance per se or showing how much I can take. It’s not supposed to be about me. I’m just grateful that she’ll subject me to as much pain as she thinks fit.
