I am not responsible \ud83d\ude42<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, I spent some time out with the [[girl2|girls]]. Not only did my panel discussion go well, but afterwards we got an opportunity to spend some time playing with them at the club. This is not something we always find the time to do.<\/p>\n<p>Tatsumi certainly has some interesting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.girl2.com\/arcanum\/archives\/003100.ascx#003100\">thoughts to relate on the event<\/a> (sorry, Girl2 members only), and I thought I would drop some of mine here.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One of the things I like about [[wp:BDSM]] are the toys. I have a whole bag full of them, but by far my favorite at the moment is something we simply call <b>The Stick<\/b>. A simple tool, The Stick is simply a stick that looks like something I might use to be a drummer with, and a 2 foot leather thong through one end.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously you can use something like that for all sorts of things, but at the moment we are going to forget most of them and concentrate on the one I like the most. You can hold the handle (stick) and use the thong as a thing, biting whip or flogger. It has no weight to it, so you aren&#8217;t likely to damage someone deeply and this lets you use it places you couldn&#8217;t use a heavier flogger with anything like as much force. I routinely use it on the lower back and abdomen as well as breasts. You can go fairly hard with it without much surface damage, or you can draw blood if you chose.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>How it looks: <\/b>The thong leaves long, thin, red marks. Kimiko in particular has extremely pale skin, and Tatsumi has slightly darker skin with a golden tone&#8230; both of them show the red marks extremely well and from any distance away at all you would swear they were cut wide open. The line spreads quickly, but it definitely has a progression from one end of the strike to the other sometimes being as long as 12 inches&#8230; it seems to grow like magic. <i>It is extremely hot to see<\/i>.\n<li><b>How it sounds:<\/b> There is a cutting sound in the air from the thong, and a thin cracking sound when it hits. The sound precedes the visible red mark but the blink of an eye&#8230; before the red spreads the thong is already back at your side.\n<li><b>What it feels like:<\/b> Obviously the girls would be better equipped to tell you &#8211; but it seems to be a burning strike. Not really thud or sting exactly, much more like a thin cane but not as deep. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Usually at a club the girl is in the light and I am off to one side in shadow. There is no way for the observer watch the thong strike exactly. You see my arm move, hear the noise and then watch a line appear on her skin like magic. They are long and impossible lines that turn bright crimson. The lines cross many of the places that traditionally you can&#8217;t strike. As an example I lay them across the lower back and on angles across her spine. 12, 13, 14 inch strikes leaving these amazing trails on her skin.<\/p>\n<p>As I work the observer can also see that I am obviously using quite a bit of force. The strikes go pretty much exactly where I want them to, and I take a moment between each strike to aim and place the next, moving from place to pace and pacing, each flick of my arm bringing a scream, or a cry, or a gasp from her.<\/p>\n<p>Overall? It looks like an old time naval striping or a puritan era public whipping. The obvious force of the strikes couples with the subconscious &#8220;wrongness&#8221; of the placements to make the viewer uncomfortable. The strikes violate many of the unofficial [[wp:BDSM]] safety rules and people seem to expect shoulder blades should be cracked, her spine laid bare and her kidneys bleeding. <\/p>\n<p>All in all it gives the impression that this is more the beating of an animal or a criminal than a person who is enjoying herself. The pain she is clearly in only heightens the feeling.<\/p>\n<p>It looks great, and so do the girls when it happens. Life is good \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ed.
