Well, after having been through the experience I will have to agree with kiya, this stuff is definitely not for beginners.

Last night was pretty busy, as I had failed to complete my subbie task from Thursday and I had already accepted anotherone for Friday. So I had lots to get through as it was. I guess the idea of breaking in our new metal flogger gave me the motivation to go through the more psychological trials that were imposed on me at the ST dungeon.

F. made me wait for it though. In fact he made me beg for it. It was so deliciously humiliating to beg to be tormented in a way I had never experienced. He had already taken me every way possible without allowing me release and I was so hot I felt very close to spontaneous combustion. The warm-up whipping with a leather strap that I recieved after being bound face down on the bed only served to make me moan with desire and frustration. Then he left the room for a few seconds and came back from the washroom carrying a wet towel, which he used to cover my already glowing posterior. The cooling sensation vanished instantly when the first stroke of the metal flogger punched my whole body into the pillows that F had placed beneath my hips. Oh god! I bit into my shoulder and tried to suppress a scream. What a wallop did that flogger carry! I could feel my butt swelling with each stroke. I was screaming by the third one and I must have gotten a good two dozen. The wet towel was good protection agains any potential cuts, but it did not lessen the sensation one bit. By the time F. dropped the whip to take me from behind I was at thermonuclear heat levels, and the ensuing orgasm, after all the previous denial was of olympic proportions.

In conclusion: This metal flogger has to be used after thorough warm-up and, used over that wet towel, it did not leave any cuts. Bruising was limited to the few strokes that "wrapped" around my hips. I guess it takes a bit of practice to get used to the heavier swing, and F. says next time we will try it on bare skin. For those following the whips and floggers thread I would rate it a 7-8 on the pain scale. Very nice indeed. OUCH!
