Whip It Good!

It is always more pleasurable to lure willing prey unto your restraints
than for the prey to find himself there unprepared, so it should be for the
initial steps leading up to a flogging session. The basic scene as conceived and
directed by the Top and as experienced and followed by the bottom will be the
ritualistic acting out of the S/M power equation or exchange. This formula will
usually follow as such: Dominance and submission, plus the administration of
erotic pain over the acceptance of erotic pain, equals the level of S/M the Top
is trying to achieve.
Whatever format a flogging scene follows will only be limited by the
inventiveness of the Top. If it starts out as a first meeting pick-up in a bar,
the bottom can be "arrested" and handcuffed on the spot. This will depend on how
believable and intimidating the Top wants to appear. Variations on first
meetings are practiced every night when living arrangements, mode of
transportation, and time restraints are considered. If things start out on a
military note with the bottom being ordered to report to the Top's playroom for
duty, there will be ample opportunities for intimidation from the minute the
bottom is admitted inside. This can proceed with questions about mode of dress,
manner of addressing the Top, manner of showing appreciation to the Top for
being summoned to the playroom, etc. Whatever the scene is to be: police,
military, motorcycle leathermen, or ordinary piggy-raunch, once this is
understood by the bottom and the dominance/submission is working it can be
enhanced by boot licking, begging for cock, watersports, rough-house, and the
first stage of bondage.
It is at this point that the bottom can be ordered to strip completely if
he has not done so already. I find it a turn-on to have the bottom strip
immediately upon entering the playroom or play area. If the bottom is foolish
enough to wear underwear or leave them on after he has been ordered to strip,
they can be torn off as a form of humiliation and used as a gag or blindfold.
Wrist and ankle restraints can be secured at this time.
Attaching tit clamps and tight cock and ball restraints to a blindfolded
bottom will shift his mind away from the upcoming flogging and make him
concentrate on the immediate pain he is feeling. This play can be carried on
until the Top decides to move on to something more severe that will further
shift the bottom's thoughts from the flogging. Once the bottom has been
introduced to another realm and seems to be enjoying the pain, it is time to
flog him.
The first stripes are laid across the unsuspecting ass and back. The
counting begins. "One Sir! Thank you, Sir!" Free-form stripes can be laid down.
The Top will end up with his bottom thanking him for generously leaving an
"impression" that he will be able to admire for the next two or three days.
