Consensual Enslavement
Stress Positions
Apprentice, Journeyman
Stress Positions are physical positions that place stress and possibly pain on the body if maintained. They will cause pain if held long enough. Usually the stress is in the arms and legs and sometimes in the torso. The stress can be on any body part or parts which are not in a relaxed position.
There are three reasons that Stress Positions is a tool. First, there is the Control exercised by the Master putting the slave in a stress position. Second the Stress Position is usually a Submissive Position. Third, there is the release of Cortisol and other stress hormones that have both a mental and physical effect, especially when the position is relaxed or released. As mentioned in Body Positions, cortisol tends to increase when someone is put into a submissive position which then reinforces the feeling of Submission.
