Invisible Hair

Invisible Hair   - from the list of secrets no bottom will confess to . . .

Ask any submissive, bottom, masochist, or switch, and they will reluctantly inform you about the invisible hair, although most of them pray that you are unaware of it, and if they could, they would hide the existence of the invisible hair from every dominant, top, sadist on the planet.

Essentially, the invisible hair appears the moment you place any submissive, bottom, masochist, or switch in any type of movement restraint - be it mental or physical. As soon as that restraint 'exists', the hair 'exists'. If you are scening your bottom in bondage face up, then the hair will generally appear alongside or near the side of the bottom's nose. If you are scening your bottom in bondage face down, then the hair will generally appear between the shoulder blades or just above where the buttocks crease begins. Occasionally, the hair will appear actually 'inside' the crack.

The hair itches. It teases the skin with the lightest of touches, often triggering an instant reaction and a powerful urge to scratch, which, of course, the bottom cannot do at that moment.

What is the hair?

Well, the hair is the mind doing a couple of rather interesting things. The first thing the mind is doing is reacting to the bondage. Its reaction is conflicted. It longs to escape. So it sends out informational signals, creating a powerful, immediate need to address information to the bottom. This sudden 'need' must be attended to at once and, of course, requires the immediate release of the completion of bondage so that it can be attended to. You see, a bottom cannot consciously consider that they may not want to be made vulnerable on every single level of their mind. To a bottom, that would almost constitute heresy of their idea of what a bottom 'subbie' is, what they want, how they want it, when they want it, and why they want it. They tend to feel that their whole body and soul must be in agreement with this lifestyle choice for the choice to be valid.

The second thing the mind is doing is equally interesting from an analytical sadistic standpoint. You see, I am compulsively interested in grasping or understanding the connections of mind to body because essentially, I am not really 'scening' a bottom's body, although it certainly looks like it, and I am not really 'scening' a bottom's mind, although the mind is certainly being scened. I am sensing the union or conjoined perception of reality that is blended at that exact intersection of mind and body. Not to say that I am not sensing the spirit here too, although Fechner's Law struggled with how to evaluate the inescapable metaphysical ramifications of stimulatory experiences. However, I am slightly off on a tangent.

The mind fills a gap. In the absence of stimuli, it manufactures its own. Remove a person from sensory input, and the mind uses what little data it has to cope with what it thinks may be happening. With no data to compute, the mind begins to make things up. When the body is restrained, the usual flow of information changes. If we are free, we constantly move—minute muscular shifts, slight adjustments as we sit or stand. Most movements are 'automatic responses' we simply don't register. The freedom to move is a choice we continually make, keeping the brain occupied. When a person is restrained or this part of the brain is deprived of activity, information runs out. First, the brain wants inactivity to stop, seeing it as abnormal. Then, it checks if the body can still feel, ensuring no harm has blocked sensation. So, the body reacts—and voila, the invisible hair appears.

Trust me, this hair is as real as any hair you can pluck out of your head. It 'feels' real to the brain, even though the independent senses may inform the brain that it isn't there, the brain has predecided that something is in error and that it might as well be the senses that are having the error code, rather than this massively complex brain . . . right? So, the hair is there.

And, being the Sadist that I am, playing with the hair is truly evil. Cause it is a hair that can't be gotten rid of. You can't dust it off. You can't wash it off. You can't even scratch it off. Because, so long as the body is restrained or denied information, that hair will be there. Which, of course, makes it enormously fun.

And, another thing. There doesn't have to be just a single hair. Sometimes a poor bottom will have more than one, as if hair demons are payback for their naughtiness and other acts of sammistic behavior.

If the bottom tells you there isn't any hair . . . tsk . . . yanno it isn't true. Just think of how 'you' have to scratch the exact spot you can never reach exactly when you can't reach it, and you have the truth of the matter.
