An inventory of implements

1. Flogger

I love a flogger because of the variations it allows. It can be hard, it can be soft. You can trail it lightly over the skin, arousing goose-bumps, hearing her sigh with pleasure at the leather’s gentle caress. Or you can lay it on hard, the flogger thudding against the flesh, as she grunts at each impact. And there are all the variations in between. Flicking it repeatedly against a sensitive spot, gradually increasing the force, teasing her with the thought that it will get harder and harder; there’s a lot of fun in that.

A flogger is very adaptable. You can use it on her ass like any other kind of implement, getting the same impact effect as a strap or crop, though more diffuse. But because it still works well even if used only lightly, it’s good for the most sensitive parts. Trailing the flogger over her breasts, then every now and again flicking the nipples, is something I enjoy very much. And doing much the same to her cunt, insisting that she spread her legs wide and keep them spread, no matter how strong the urge to close them, while you first stroke then flick then sting, is wonderful discipline for a submissive girl who needs to have her obedience reinforced.

Floggers come in different forms. The softest deerskin gives the best results, but the very best can be expensive. If the leather is stiff and heavy, it ceases to be a flogger at all, and becomes more of a whip, a fine thing to have but with an altogether different purpose. My current favourite is made of thin but strong strips of rubber, in a starting pink colour. It gives excellent results.

I think what I love most is watching how her skin gradually darkens, at first the faintest pink flush, but as you step up the strength of the strokes it gets darker, turning from pink to red. Her breathing gets heavier, accompanied by little whimpers and moans, and eventually, if you are in the mood, erupting into full-throated cries as the flogger lashes across the tender flesh.

I think I’m getting quite carried away….
