Thanks in advance for any input from someone with more experience then me on this topic.

That, or hit like a pussy. Which is pretty much the same thing as not busting the capillaries.

Anyway, why on Earth would you want to prevent bruises?

And since I could not find where I read about zinc supplements it just struck me why not do google search (duh) and I fund a site(http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/bruises.html) that includs all the good sugestions you all mentioned and also the elusive zinc info I was looking for. But it also said that after the first 24h (when you should use icepack) then it is recommended to use moist heat to to increase the circulation and the healing of the injured tissues. Any one tried this or heard about it?

Somehow the slow warming up just doesnt come natural in this setting to me, it has a more measured controled feeling that doesnt fit with the general setting of my mind. Dont get me wrong I would never indulge in rape play with out total control of my self but it is not something that shows on the surface so to say, the punishment just naturally takes it outlet in forms that minmize the risk of bruising, it doesnt really take any consiouse decision, it just flows naturaly from the basic foundation of care and responsability so it lets me enjoy the moment of harsh passion with out having to consiously control it. But I will definitly take your advice in other play and be extra careful to warm up slowly.

sub2pleaseU yeah I fund out that zinc supplements does help as a preventive measure to decrees bruising. This is pretty much what I have fund out so far about reventive steps you can take.

Vitamin K promotes normal clotting in the blood, and therefore may help reduce the tendency to bruise easily. Green leafy vegetables, alfalfa, broccoli, seaweed, and fish liver oils are dietary sources of vitamin K (sure you can find it in pill form who wants to go around drinking fish liver oil). Other good foods to eat would be those containing bioflavonoids, such as reddish-blue berries, Bioflavonoids such as Quercetin, Rutin (as Shulius so kindly told us about :-D) and Hesperidin are vital in their ability to increase the strength of the capillaries (blood vessels) and to regulate their permeability. They assist Vitamin C in keeping collagen, the intercellular "cement" in healthy condition; are essential for the proper absorption and use of vitamin C; prevents Vitamin C from being destroyed in the body by oxidation; beneficial in hypertension; helps hemorrhages and ruptures in the capillaries and connective tissues and builds a protective barrier against infections. Quercetin is a very highly concentrated form of Bioflavonoids derived from citrus fruit. A deficiency in these nutrients may result in varicose veins, a tendency to bruise and bleed easily, and/or the appearance of purplish spots on the skin. These can assist in strengthening the connective tissue, which will decrease the spread of blood and bruising. Zinc and vitamin C supplements are also recommended for this.

And drinking lots more water then you need, remember the pearl of wisdom earlier in the thread, squishy is good.
