My post:
I have talked about discipline and
punishment over the years. Now I want to familiarize you with some of
the tools (toys as they are called) used punish or just play with.
Bare in mind, these are all items that can be used for both pleasure
as well as inflicting pain. It all depends on what you use and how
you use it.
There are many items designed to be
used more for play (pleasure) that won't cause much pain, if any.
This is generally because of the materials used in their manufacture.
Other items are designed to inflict more pain. These can be used very
effectively for punishment, but may also be used to create pleasure,
depending on how they are used. For example, any flogger can be used
to create pleasure simply by dragging it across the skin without
hitting. You can also giggle the handle so that the ends of the tails
'dance' over the skin creating a very pleasurable sensation.
Let's start with a basic paddle. There
are an abundance of paddles on the market, but if you want one that
will cause pain for disciplinary purposes, don't waste your money on
a big expensive one. What you need is something between one and three
inches in width, and about a foot long. Yes, a wooden ruler works
very well, ask any Catholic school boy. The slim width will actually
cause a more stinging type of pain than than anything larger. It
should be light weight enough to make it easy to swing without
wearing you out. How hard you hit should be determined by the
severity of the misbehavior. There is one in my store called the
'Singapore Stinger' which I use. I like it because it is small, easy
to use and makes my point very clear.
While we are on the subject of paddles,
if your favorite hair brush has a flat backside, it makes an
excellent paddle. You can even strike fear into your partner's heart
every time you tell him to retrieve it for you (even if you just want
to brush your hair). If you don't have one with a flat back, buy one!
If you are interested in floggers,
there is much more to know. For example, do you want it sting, or to
thud? A thuddy flogger is heavy and can tire you out long before any
real pain is inflicted. It can, however, cause a nice red glow to the
buttocks. If your flogger is leather, here are some basic rules to
follow. The wider the tails, the less pain they cause. If the tips
come to a point, they can cause a little more pain. The more tails a
flogger has, the less pain it will cause, it will be thuddier. The
narrower the tails, the sharper the pain. Also, the fewer tails the
more sting it will bring. As for the length of the tails, it really
makes little difference. Whatever is most comfortable for you.
However, you want the end of the tails to strike the middle of your
target. If they wrap around the curve of your target, they speed up
and can cause severe pain.
What about canes? Well, actually, just
about any stick will work as a cane. The thicker the material, the
stiffer the cane. The thinner the more flexible the cane. Now, which
hurts more? It all depends on how you use it. Hit hard and the stiff
cane will leave deeper marks (bruises). The more flexible the cane
the easier it is to draw welts. Both can hurt, but the flexible canes
tend to cut first and bruise later. So if you tend to hit hard, I
would suggest a thicker cane, one less flexible. You can test the
flexibility of any particular cane by whipping it around. You will
see what I mean once you try it. You can try out some wooden canes at
your local hardware store. Tell them you are looking for some wooden
dowel rods. They come in many thicknesses. Try them out, then decide
which will work for you.
Riding crops are excellent for both
play and punishment. A riding crop is a flexible stick with a leather
broad leather tip. The shaft may be wrapped in leather, nylon, or
nothing. The nice part about riding crops is that they can be used
like a cane or you can slap the leather tip on the skin. It can be
used gently or severely depending on how hard you swing it and where
the blow lands. You want to aim for the soft fleshy areas, like the
bottom. Although, if you swing it moderately, you can strike just
about any where (except the face) that you like. It is considered a
mistresses main weapon of choice. But you decide.
Last but not least, the Wartenburg
Wheel. Though not generally used for punishment, it certainly can be.
This is a small metal medical instrument with a handle and a metal
wheel with points all around it. As you roll across the skin, the
amount of pain (or pleasure) you feel depends on the amount of
pressure you apply. It's such a simple device it is very often
overlooked as means of punishment. But believe me, it works very
well! Wartenburg wheels are usually inexpensive, about $10-$12
dollars. So don't think just because they are a medical device that
they will cost you an arm or a leg. They won't.
I am NOT going to talk about
single-tail whips because they take a great deal of practice to
master. One mistake and your prey will be bleeding profusely. So I
don't recommend them to anyone.
