Leaving marks- please weigh in

[Sir_G]

Use salves and things on any marks. I spank mine a lot and have never had problems but then I know what I am doing and pay very close attention.

Some of the more extreme ways of leaving marks can cause a lot of trouble. Those should be avoided or the very least done infrequently. These in my opinion would include bullwhips, canes, narrow paddles, split bamboo, and abrasions devices. Use them sparingly if you enjoy them with lots of after care

I second what Sir Russell has said. I have an enormous amount of respect for the man. He's been involved with the lifestyle for probably more years than he cares to admit and wasn't voted "Most Knowledgeable" for his obvious good looks.

Always be safe, sane and consensual. Know your limits and if you are going to stretch them your Dom needs to be watching very carefully and most of all you need to let him know as best you are able where you are really at in terms of pain threshhold.

Good luck and above all enjoy, have fun and lots of orgasms. *smile*.
