sooooooo, my ass is purple and bruised, which is amazing. but when i asked to be beaten, i totally forgot it was swimsuit season. not that i regret it, but i DO live in so cal, and go to the beach at least twice a week. i really dont want to go out and buy board shorts, especially since master just bought me a nice, revealing new bathing suit bottom... so, should i attempt to explain away teh bruise to my friends, many of whom know i am into bdsm, or would this graphic exhibition of my interests freak them out and make them think i need help... i dont know. has anyone had a problem/experience related to this?

there is a product that you can get at whole foods that will help get rid of the bruises quicker it is called arnica and it is very good for healing bruises fast so yu can go out and play in the sun

Sooo... kind of late in my reply and I am not a submissive, but you can use Arnica. It comes in lotion form and pill form. Taking both usually helps with the healing time.
