Favorite Toys -- Temptation's Tag

Temptation tagged me with the question: "What 5 toys would you keep if you had to give up everything else? Which ones are your favorites?" There are so many, it is tough to say which ones are really "favorites." They fill different places in our lives and our play and our relationship, and many of them have stories to tell. Still, the question is there, so here goes...

I would, given my choice, almost always choose --

The buffalo flogger. It is heavy and thuddy without a lot of sting. Buffalo hide has a texture that is not rough and scratchy like suede; much more sensual even though it is heavier.

The red, braided, llama-hide cat. This one is light but stingy without being horribly wicked. Besides, it is just a lovely piece of work, and one of the few whips from Snakepit Leather that I still have from the several that were acquired by my ex-husband and I.

The long, narrow leather strap that came as a "throw-in" freebie from Hanson paddle. It stings like mad and leaves welts and makes me catch my breath, but there is something about it that I really like better than the much heavier straps that we own. It doesn't feel like it will break skin (or bones) in the same way that the heavier beasties do.

The rattan cane. I am not a fan of canes generally, but when it comes time for caning, I like that one way better than the synthetic cousins...

The single tail. This is a love-hate pick. I really hate and fear the whip. It scares me to death and I never willingly choose the whip. It is always His to command and the entire time that I spend under the whip is an effort and an agony and an ordeal. That said, I know that the whip was and is my gift to Him, and making it through a session with the whip brings me a sense of triumph that is hard to describe.
