As a kid, I bruised all the time, very easily. Nowadays, I don’t bruise at all, with some exceptions.
I broke my toe about a week ago, as in literally snapped the bone in half and ended up with one piece almost a centimeter out of alignment. And yet, no bruise. Not even the slightest sign of one.
Now, the exception is if I’ve been drinking. I broke that same toe 2 years ago while I was drunk and it basically turned black.
I don’t know why I would bruise normally when drinking, but never bruise at all when sober. Is it possible I am bruising and it’s just not visible for whatever reason?
You are a vampire. Invest in sunblock.
At least that means I get to be rich and hot. Better get shopping for castles to brood in I guess.
I’m not a medic at all, but would guess that since alcohol tends to liquefy blood, it could explain why you bruise when you’ve been drinking. It’s also the reason why it’s better to not drink alcohol the day before getting a tattoo, as you’ll bleed more.
Now, with the inverse reasoning, maybe you don’t bruise because your blood is “too thick”, whatever that could mean? Maybe ask a physician ?
Find a kink event and tell the dom/domme of your choice that you don’t bruise. They’ll prove you wrong.
Considering a broken bone didn’t cause any bruising, I don’t think I’m up for the Drukhari shit they probably have in mind.
Same here. At 52 I simply don’t bruise, not matter the injury. Yes, even broken fingers and toes. Between being active and clumsy, I get injured a fair bit. Can’t say when I noticed it, but it’s been a thing since at least my 30s.
There was a brief period in life where I bruised alarmingly easy! Started thinking I had really fucked up my vascular system. Then it stopped. 🤷🏻♂️ Drinking doesn’t seem to matter, I drink beers (many) every day, but nothing stronger.
I have almost no body fat, and maybe not enough. That the case with you? Women seem to bruise far easier, and even skinny women have that fine layer of fat some of us men lack. Just spit balling here, but I’m as confused as you are.
I’ve got a fair amount of fat and muscle on me. That could be a factor though. Maybe one of the reasons I don’t bruise easily is because I absorb the blows better than I used to. Back when I was bruising constantly I had alarmingly little body fat.
Combined with some of the stuff other people have mentioned, I can see there being enough factors piled on that the injury would have to be really severe before I start having noticeable bruising.
