I just had a very hard time reading this thread through to the last post.
Thank ya'll very much.
I found out some time ago that knife play in scene type work is terribly exciting.
I used a small fantasy dagger to create tension in a session. The immediate effect/reaction upon the partner was extremely delightful. I did a slight tilt and raked the flesh, she nearly orgasmed on the spot. was very intense.
I've only had one other instance of using a blade. and one IM fantasy where that person nearly passed out or so she said. lol.
there is such an appeal to some imagery we perceive.
