I woke up feeling very tender and sore. Because I’m now over 50 years old that triggered the obvious thought process – “OMG. Am I dying? What new hell is this? Did I just sleep weird or is this a new normal? Do my muscles hate me now?”
Fortunately, after the sleep haze cleared, I realized what was going on. Ms Savannah Sly was in town. Last night therefore featured lots of beating, trampling, biting, pummeling and lots of other painful ‘ings. It was the really good kind of sore. Lots of happy bruises.
The bad news was I had a doctors appointment I’d forgotten about. It had been rescheduled multiple times and I hadn’t realized the final time landed just hours after a session. Always fun explaining that yes, I know I’m bruised and scratched, and yes, it was entirely consensual. It felt a bit like taking a car from a destruction derby to a mechanic. I know I did all these violent things to it and the bodywork now looks like hell, but you can still fix my brakes and check the engine light?
This is the fabulous Ms Savannah Sly as featured on her Bluesky Feed. If you’d like to support her organization New Moon – which does lots of great things for sex workers – then check it out here.
I just love the soreness and the bruise the morning after and the next few days…
Absolutely. I always enjoy admiring my marks – apart from when I have to explain them to doctors 🙂

I once had a colonoscopy a few days after a very intense session. I don’t know if you’ve ever had one but there are several medical staff in the room during the procedure. My bum was a mess of welts, bruises and even some cuts and the female nurse who was sticking the camera where only a few days before a vibrator had been was clearly concerned. Rather than try an come up with some outlandish explanation I just said something along the lines of ” sorry about that, I forgot about this appointment and had a rather intense BDSM session 2 days ago”. They seemed happy with that and carried on.
I had my first one of those last year. Definitely an uncomfortable procedure, with a lot of people involved. I can imagine your and her discomfort. That’s a particularly unfortunate combination of location, procedure and activities.
However, you clearly made the right call in coming clean. Medical professionals have seen and heard everything, so I think they’re generally good with whatever, as long as there’s an explanation. You probably gave them a nice story to share over coffee or lunch that day 🙂
