For those of you who have any concerns regarding my latest acquisition, rest assured that BTO is in safe hands. Like every new impact implement time must be taken to get to know it. In addition, it is far from ready for use at present. All good quality leather whips need to be...
...flexed and oiled many times until they are soft and supple enough to be used. My current single tail whip was treated for several weeks before she ever felt it and, even then, I withdrew it for a while longer as I didn’t feel it was quite soft enough. Once I am satisfied...
...that it is ready for use, it will be tested at a very low impact level to start with. During the testing period BTO will be permitted to interact with me verbally so that I am happy that impact is within her limits and I can identify levels of pleasure, punishment and...
...her boundary limit. I will, of course, also seek to find the level at which she will cum under it alone as she is inclined to do with other implements if applied correctly(
) It will be a learning process shared by both of us and not one I would inflict on her without her...

...input. This brings me on nicely to safe impact play. Impact play is not essential any more than any other aspect of the lifestyle is. It is a matter of choice between consenting play partners whether it is to be included, with what, and the level. If it is of major..
...importance to one person then the compatibility part of vetting comes into play. A Dom with a sadistic side, or one who enjoys some level of impact play, would hardly be suited to a sub for whom it is a hard limit. A sub may enjoy being spanked with a hand but what about..
...implements from a low level paddle through tawses, belts, crops and whips. A simple “do you want/enjoy impact play?” isn’t sufficient for compatibility. If either Dom or sub are new to the lifestyle, or if it is a new partnership, always start with the lowest impact type of...
...implement at the lowest impact level and GRADUALLY build up the impact ONLY IF the sub wants to explore anything beyond a lighter touch. If they don’t then STOP at that level. Experimenting with new impact toys can be very exciting for both sides of the / but only IF DONE...
...SAFELY and WITHIN AGREED LIMITS. Note that many subs will never want to experience anything more than the belt or crop, if they even want to go that far, and find the whole idea of a whip terrifying and a hard limit. RESPECT THIS. The whip is, by far, the harshest of...
...impact implements and, in the wrong hands, or used incorrectly, it can cause intense pain and skin damage. It is not something that should ever be used by someone new to the lifestyle and nor should any new sub be subjected to one. My DMs are always open to anyone with any...
...questions or seeking advice. What I have said above is my view on impact play. Others may have differing ideas. There may be no right or wrong ways to play in general within the lifestyle but there are safe and dangerous ways particularly with regard to this specific area...
..I’m not one to blow my own trumpet but, if you’re in any doubt as to my knowledge regarding impact play and, particularly the whip, then please feel free to ask @born_obey as she’s on the receiving end!!
