Pressure points

[OldBastard]

Us at CAP have been asked to have a featured player/demo that deals with pressure point play, incorporating meridians and such. This is also something that I have much interest in.

If you or anybody you know has knowledge in this area, please contact me.
Thanks.

This is a great point (hehe) I hope someone knows about this enough to come forward and share! See you this Weekend @ CAP!

I've studied pressure points -- the primary and extraordinary meridians -- in martial arts, but as I am very new to the BDSM lifestyle (read: just wanting to get started), I haven't ever applied them in play except when wrestling around.

In general, I'd say that true meridian work would require a more relaxed atmosphere where you could take your time. It would also require a fair amount of study, and practice. But the effects can be amazing -- for example, increased sensitivity, and an altered state of mind (if you've had acupuncture or acupressure work done, you'll probably be familiar with the "high" that comes from this).

Pressure points that correspond to nerve clusters can be used in a more immediate fashion (using points on the neck/face to direct where your partner is facing, for example). This is less esoteric, and much quicker to pick up.
