Amazing, I had no idea illusory pain existed. I've actually been looking for a safe way to induce pain, and this seems promising. I would have thought the BDSM community would make use of this, but a quick googling doesn't turn up any products. Any idea why?

A notorious local dominatrix revealed many years ago the trick of "burning" her customers with a clothes iron stored in the refrigerator.

How about capsaicin induced pain? That should be very safe as long as you don't go crazy with the most extreme peppers/extractions.
