This I think is on topic here. I was a Dom/Master for decades but would not touch a whip, I was whipped by mommy dearest with a rubber hose cut into a cat of nine tails as a child, talk about abuse and I still have the scars.

Some subs wanted me to whip or flogg them, I refused totally. It wasn't that I objected to cause what normally would be pain. Hell I love to spank hard and pull hair plus clip clamps etc are a turn on, I paddle leaving an imprint in pink on a fleshy ass was always a turn on, but no whip what so ever.

morgan begged me to try, gave me her soft suede flogger to us on myself to see that not real harm could be inflicted with my trying to. I spent a lot of time thinking about it and finally agreed to try it because she meant that much to me and she had showed me how much it meant to her.

I am now very good at it and love it a lot, if she had just excepted the spanking etc. and not spent the time and the words to show me I would still not use a flogger.
