Caning Information
Gary Switch, observing the recent report of my novice caning experiments, very kindly sent along a link to his excellent caning how-to article: “The Rod of Rods“.
I was particularly entertained by the way in which he updated the traditional advice that one practice one’s caning technique by caning a pillow. He recommends using: a teddy bear. Bethie has lots of teddy bears. And the fun thing? I’m not sure she could stand to watch me cane one. I wonder what she’ll offer up as a substitute?
I also liked Gary’s poetic explanation of the point of it all:
Spanking is a thud. Caning is sting and burn, a sharply focused sensation, a compelling excursion into the entertainment potential of your central nervous system. It’s ecstasy for endorphin junkies, heaven for heavy players, paradise for bottoms who’ve learned to process pain into pleasure. Pain is when I stub my toe. Pleasure is when I’m tingling in anticipation of the next stroke. Caning can be severe or sensuous, decadent or decorous, spontaneous or scripted. Incorporating a single implement into your play can add oodles of atmosphere.
Thanks, Gary!
I am with Bethie on this. Caning a bear would be cruel and unusual punishment and I couldn’t stand to see it happen to my bears.
I hate to say it, but I know I would offer up my ass before He could get a hold of any bears.
Spankboss is threatening to tie me up, lay one of my bears on the bed face down, and get the cane, just to see what I’ll offer up to save my bear. Eeeeeeek!
I’m sure I’ll offer up my ass, too, Sarah! What kind of evil person would cane an innocent teddy bear?
Spankboss, evil man that he is, is having way too much fun with this btw! ;)
Oh, so much fun. Who knew?
Last night I laughed so hard my teeth almost fell out. Every time I mentioned Bethie’s bears, she would shriek “No! No! You can’t do that to my babies!”
If nothing else, I’m betting this will keep the suggestions that I practice (on something other than her bottom) to a bear minimum.
Gary, I definately owe you a beer for this idea.
What a brilliant idea! My wife has no interest in spanking so when she had a tantrum and went off to see her mates, I up-ended her largest teddy and gave it a sound whacking with a ruler, wishing it was my wife. I felt a lot better. If she knew she’d kill me. Peter
