While
doing research for today’s blog I came across a very interesting
web site called Flogging for Fun. I thought I’d share some of the
interesting info with you. Just in case. Ya know?
Flogging
and being flogged can be intensely erotically stimulating. For the
Top (Dominant partner), it can be about power, but it can also be
about giving a sensually superior sensation to the bottom (submissive
partner). For the bottom (submissive partner), flogging can be about
the pain, but for many of 'us', it is about the enormous endorphin
rush we get coupled with the concept of kink, or the erotic
connection between partners, due to increased sensitivity and
acceptance of erotic stimuli. The truth about flogging is that there
are as many reasons for the joys as there are individuals practicing
it!
Choosing
Your Flogger (the implement)
Floggers
should be carefully selected for the sensation or level of sensation
it provides. If you are not into pain, select your flogger for the
softness and pliability of the falls. Generally, the thicker the
falls, the thuddier the flogger will be, and conversely, the thinner
the falls, the stingier.
While
for many people, their bottom is the absolute favorite area to
receive the flogger's caress, many of us also enjoy breasts, thighs,
upper (muscle padded) back, genitals, and the soles of our feet
(called Bastinado, and ONLY done with extreme caution).
Choosing
Your Flogger (the person doing the flogging)
Unless
you know someone who is an experienced flogger, the best thing to do
is attend a flogging workshop, instructed by reputable, experienced
floggers, before even thinking about flogging a live human. These
'demos' are often held regularly at local dungeons or bdsm community
gatherings. And you never know what interesting people you might
meet!
You
should practice on an inanimate object, such as a pillow or cushion
bolster. Place the pillow on a chair or stool approximately the
height of the 'submissive subject's' bottom, and for starters,
concentrate ONLY on the buttocks while learning to 'throw' the
flogger properly and safely. Another idea is to pin a pillow to a
wire coat hanger and hang that from a doorknob, to practice stroking
an upright human being with varying stroke intensities and rhythms. A
damp paper towel or tissue can be a great gauge of your control after
you have practiced some on strike zones and aim.
If
you do it right, your submissive will be begging for more!
Hope
this helps a little and…happy flogging!!!
And
now, meet Lee and Branch, who both wanted to be on top.
He
wanted her badly enough to DOUBLE DOWN on an outrageous bet.
A Recommended Read from All Romance eBooks
Lee
Sullivan has really got her life together, as the mayor’s publicity
chief and the respected Domme, Mistress Star. She doesn’t foresee
any bumps in her life until she meets Branch Colby, self-made
millionaire and a man who pushed her buttons. She has no idea that he
is a full-out Dom who sees women as a challenge and this one more
than most. When Branch’s friend Max bets him he cannot get Lee to
submit to him, Branch agrees to a high-stakes wager. The problem is
he never expected to fall for her or what the consequences would be
when she learned the details of the bet. He has to find a way to
repair the situation and she has to decide whether giving her heart
is worth the risk.
Excerpt
Max
sobered. “I don’t think I can thank you quite enough for giving
me a piece of Colby, Inc.”
“In
the beginning, it was a piece of nothing,” Branch recalled. “We’ve
been lucky. Besides, you earn it every day keeping my ass legal and
putting up barricades against the bloodsuckers.”
They
both raised their glasses in a silent toast and then drank.
“So.”
Max grinned. “I saw the mayor’s publicity flack here today. His
honor too tied up to make it?”
“I
guarantee you, whatever conflict Vincent had he couldn’t get out
of. He never misses a chance to suck my dick.”
“Personally,
I’d rather have her doing it. Although that really isn’t her
style.”
Branch
lifted an eyebrow. He had gotten no vibes from Lee Sullivan that she
preferred women to men, and he was usually very good at picking that
up.
“Are
you telling me she bats for the other team?”
Max
burst out laughing. “Far from it. You just hang out in the wrong
places.”
Now
Branch was getting irritated. “Do you want to tell me what the hell
you’re talking about?”
“I
guess you spend too much of your playtime at Ultra. Or your own
bedroom.” Max laughed again, as if enjoying some kind of secret
joke. “Unlike me. I like variety.”
“So
you’ve visited Infinity. So what?”
Yeah,
so what? One of the many things that bound their friendship so
tightly was the fact that, after a friend had taken them to a public
dungeon in their twenties, they had both realized they had strong Dom
tendencies they needed to pursue. They soon found, if they wanted to
play, they had to take instruction, and what an experience that had
been.
“Enough
of this shit.” Branch leaned forward. “Whatever’s on your
mind, spit it out.”
“You
know how Ultra has its own celebrities, Doms and Dommes who everyone
wants time with? Oh, wait.” He snapped his fingers. “Aren’t you
one of them? Right! Master B. The subs line up for an hour of your
time.”
“You
are really pissing me off here, Max. What does this have to do with
Lee Sullivan?”
“Infinity’s
got its own celebrities, too, which you’d know if you ever got a
guest pass like I did.”
“And?”
Branch made a “come on” motion with his fingers.
“And
I discovered when I visited there that the most in-demand Domme is
Mistress Star.” Max leaned forward, watching his friend intently.
“Who in real life is known as Lee Sullivan.”
Branch
felt as if someone had taken a cattle prod to his balls. “Are you
fucking kidding me?”
“Not
a bit.” Max was obviously enjoying the reaction. He got up and went
to the bar to refresh his drink. “I was given to understand that
male submissives sign up well in advance to spend time with her.”
Branch
frowned. “Was she there the night you were? Did she see you?”
“No.”
Max shook his head. “I was in the lounge, in a corner with some
friends, when she came in before a session.” He grinned. “She had
a damn good-looking sub waiting for her. Anyway, I wanted to be sure
I wasn’t mistaken, so I asked the friend I was with.”
“If
it was her, you mean?”
“Uh
huh. Because my friend knew I’d keep my mouth shut. Infinity is no
different than Ultra. No one ever discusses anything outside those
walls. Not who they saw or who did what with whom. You know very well
there are people who live the lifestyle who make it known to anyone
who asks them. Many of the couples even socialize outside the club,
but you know the unwritten rule—what happens at the club stays at
the club.”
“I
suppose it wouldn’t do me any good to ask you to get me some
details on her.”
Max
shook his head. “You know better than that.”
