A Few of Our Favorite Things
We are, as our Blog header says, a family that practices BDSM. It lies at the heart of who we are together. He's a sadist. I'm a masochist. We love and laugh and work and play, and if you ran into us on the street, or at the grocery store, odds are you would never guess there was anything at all kinky about us, but at home, in private, in our most intimate sexual expression with one another, pain becomes the currency for our connection and our erotic interplay.
We've been at it for years. Between us, there is plenty of experience, and a deep understanding of who and what we are to each other and within the lifestyle. We've long since passed the point of spanking with kitchen utensils, or with the cheaply made but massively over priced stuff that one purchases at the local adult bookstore.
We've got a serious collection of professional implements that run the gamut of impact play "toys." The range that is possible from our toybag is wide and varied. So, given that we've been into some heavy "political" content here, not to mention some intense sturm and drang on a personal level, I thought maybe it might be of interest to give our readers a look at our favorite toys. There are other goodies that we don't pull out as often, but these are the ones we keep close at hand -- the ones that are likely to come out at whim, whenever the mood strikes...
Paddles (mostly evil wooden ones, one nice leather one, and several nasty lexan ones)...
And straps ...
Whips, quirts, and canes (single tail is smack in the middle)...
And all those lovely, wonderful floggers...
Just a quickie sampling. I didn't get out all the restraints, or oddball, weird stuff, or take pictures of all the furniture type items. But I figure that those who wonder if we ever were going to talk about BDSM again deserved at least a bit of gratification...

Wow swan, I'm a Libra, decisions, decisions, what a lot of goodies, straps and canes do it for me. :-)
Unlike some of the other commentators I find the picture of so many devises to be disquieting rather than stimulating. To me, the implement my mistress chooses to use is for discipline rather than titillation. It is a very personal extension of herself. She has chosen it because she likes the feel of it in her hand. She enjoys its balance and lively tension. She loves the sound it makes when it connects with naked flesh. It is light enough that she can release any anger by laying it on hard and fast or apply it slowly and deliberately until she has brought me to a state of total devastation and subjugation. It is the symbol of her absolute authority and shouldn’t be locked way in a “toy” box. It should be readily available and, knowing where it is, helps me to guard against any disobedience or failure to show the proper respect.

Jack, I seldom require discipline, or to be reminded of proper respect for my beloved Master. Our toys are for our mutual excitement and pleasure, generally, although surely, He could find plenty there to extract a heavy toll, should He choose to do so...
Each relationship is different of course.
Ours is a long standing one of exploring the limits of pleasure that can be found when sadist and masochist plumb the depths in partnership.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Looking back on the feeling I described it sounds that I see the chosen chastising instrument as more of a fetish symbol than anything else. Any one or two could be the object of my fascination but I just can’t get my mind around a whole wheelbarrow full of them. I am most certainly not a masochist and I’m probably not a very good bottom. I get more of a charge out of what I imagine is the pleasure that the top is receiving by whipping me than my own tactile responses to receiving the whipping. Am I alone in this?

Jack, what you experience with your partner is as valid as anyone else's experience may be. If it works for you and gratifies the two of you, then it is good and right and just fine. Share and explore and describe what you experience. Feel welcome to do that here as you like. There is no need to fit into some pattern or mold that is "like" everyone else. We each are unique and exploring our own ways. Our joy is in finding the richness of our shared alternative lifestyles.
For us, that "wheelbarrow" full of goodies gives us the option at any given moment to sample from a wide array of sensations and tastes. Our likes and dislikes are very ecclectic, and so, over the years, we've collected all sorts of implements to satisfy them... No need for you and your partner to do likewise. Some folks have far simpler tastes. This, too, can be a good thing. Relax and share whatever you feel comfortable sharing here.
