I >think it involved >the vanilloid receptor and substance P and the G spot >and the balance of the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system. definitive answer i cannot give either...capsiacin ( C18H27NO3 ) stimulates various nerves...feelings such as hot, cold, tingling, and irritating are traditional sensations perceived by most sensory nerves (i think)...think the mention of the vanilloid receptor is correct...but why get technical? would be my question. Capsiacin will stimulate essentially all of the skin as far as I know...other nerves/receptors too, I would think; we can perceive the "heat" by olfactory sense as well, so it (cap) has receptors in that sense too, or is "received"...obviously, I'm outta my depth here scientifically. Best to shutup before I embarrass my AP instructor to where bad vibes make him give me a D in the class... But aside from my primarily fictitious ramblings, capsiacin on the genitals *is* pleasurable to a certain extent/level, of course. I am a masochist, more or less, thus me and Mr. Pain deal with one another differently than most folks. I not only tolerate high levels of pain, I rather enjoy (some) high levels of pain. "True" masochist or not? Dunno. Don't particularly care. Do I rub the inner part of a halved red savina on my Johnson? Hell no. Have I passed on capsiacin to Mr. Penis via contact, intentionally or unintentionally? Yes on both counts. It's stimulating to say the least. Unfortunately, it does not lead this boy to faster and/or more explosive orgasms. But it's sorta neat-o to walk around in the midst of folks with this pleasurable burning Down Under. Not quite like having sex in a crowd and no one realizing it, but it's damned close... I'd also suggest the Queen Nubile read my short piece on vibratory gymnastics which happens to deal with this very subject, albeit the capsiacin transfer is oral to genital...quite a cool idea IMO...or is that hot idea? Anywho, Ms Nubile Extraordinaire may wish to convince her SO to accommodate her in such a manner...and her him... I'd also suggest the perineum as a site of application...just a thought :) As with all capsiacin play, one may want to fill the bathtub with yogurt though, just in case... Think =Mark still has the piece on his wonderfully extensive website (what, 4 gazillion MB of storage space there? hehe...). Where is that damned URL...ah...tis at: http://www.exit109.com/~mstevens/vibe.html (El Grande, heap a load o' blessin' on =Mark for carrying the ramblings of this poor redneck Monk on his site, please) Alas, I am not available for a research partner...breaks my friggin heart like you *cannot*imagine*, but i am a loyal boy, yes...although feel free to send my email address...one never knows how quickly a relationship may go, and come...hehehe...
