Flogging--Poll

[MsErica]

Hi everyone.

For those who like to flog (or be flogged) I'm curious *exactly* where on the back you like to hit. On the shoulder blades? Or below the shoulder blades on the muscle over the rib cage?

The reason I ask is that for years I've been hitting the shoulder blades primarily. Other parts of the back just below got a little attention, but everything was focused right on the blades.

Then I saw a video about single tails by Roger Stevens and he showed the sweet spot for impact play as *below* the shoulder blades, on the area of muscle immediately above the bottom couple ribs. So that gives you maybe 3-5 inches of area before you go so low you risk hitting the kidneys. I looked them up today, by the way, and they start higher than I'd thought--the very top of them is under your bottom rib and just a little higher.

So today I put some tape on my sweetie to mark the exact area he was recommending and we played for a an hour or so, starting with a bunch of floggers and then moving to singetail. We were both very surprised that the area significantly under the shoulder blade was the most pleasurable for her. The lower I went--to just above the kidneys--the happier she was. The best spot she says was immediately to the right of the spine, just a couple inches wide.

This came as a *big* surprise to me after years of playing, so wondering what everyone else thinks is the 'sweet spot' in the back.

I had a sub a few months back ask me to hit about the same area you're describing... Whether she's seen this or if its her own personal experience I don't know. Ill stick to a nice spanking any day of the week.

I'm a sadist, I don't care where they _like_ it. I care about where they DON'T. I play everywhere on the back from tops of the shoulders to just above the kidneys, centerline along the spine (none of my floggers are heavy enough to actually do damage to the spine unless I where to flip them around and beat them with the handle), and then spreading out again at the top of the ass.

But hey, if they get off on that strip of meat above the kidneys and below the shoulder blades, more power to 'em.

 

[MasterPhoenix]

main places I flog are the tits, back and ass... depending on where I am in the mood to flog.

 

[shy slave]

I love having my back flogged, particularly below my shoulders baldes.

Equally enjoy heavy paddles on that area.

It releases all the tension in my back and I can actually relax into the pain/pleasure of it, whereas having my ass flogged is just pain and little personal pleasure.

 

[Yang4yin]

I like to flog breasts, pussy, thighs (inner front and back), and ass... but then, I'm no pro.

Don't mind me.

Flogging

I find the back, anywhere, nice, but not too hard please. The breasts, well, it depends on the mood.
BUT, bending over, hands tied or handcuffed, just below the buttocks,so that the cane or whip just touches the labia, ooooooooooooooooooooooooh delicious.
Is that kinky?

Just slightly.

Just make sure you are using a cane, whip or other instrument that can be sterilized or will only be used on that one, single partner. Sharing cooch juice that's on your toys, with other play partners that haven't negotiated doing so, isn't cool (or safe!).

anything above the waist makes me cry.

it's a phenomenal sensation in that way, and i don't really *like* it, but the very action of hitting me in what is not at all an erogenous zone makes me hot and makes me weep.

the key here is a top who notices and appreciates the tears.

 

[Perfect_Trust]

I really like it there, it's just really nice for some reason. I like it lightly on my lower back as well... more of a sensual trailing of the flogger.

However, it really hurt when my last PYL let rip & beat the hell outta me - right on my kidneys, and I hafta say my safe word went right outta the window in exchange for some very choice vocabulary.

 

[nh23]

Between the shoulder blades, my lower back, and ass. On the front my breasts and pussy.

 

[chris9]

I need to find someone to try this with...

 

[Netzach]

I do tend to wrap high unless I compensate so I've been aiming for the middle of each shoulderblade, with attention-getting butt shots mostly. I florentine.

If I want to make someone really suffer it's normally not done with a flogger at all, or with a cat if it is.

*shivvers*

Dayum... that's just so effing hot, Chicklet. And you're so far away. Double dayum.

 

[coastal-boy]

Floggers differ w/ the leather they are made of. One made of elk is all about the sound anyway...so it doesnt matter where you strike. Others are great for warming up the skin...and then there are those that do a little more

 

[Leashed]

everywhere

 

[EmpressFi]

Master brought with him a leather flogger he made... it's .. delicicious.

as far as locations.. shoulderblades and outer sides of my hips.. inner thighs and breasts are good too.

 

[Marquis]

I'm still very green when it comes to wielding floggers but I've been getting more into it.

It has occurred to me that there are sweet spots and it doesn't surprise me that they straddle the danger zone. I'm definitely going to have to improve my aim before I can take full advantage.

Right now I focus mainly on the ass, thighs and tits. For such little girls, both of my primary play partners are quite well endowed in these body parts. Generous busts and rotund, protuberant buttocks offer a broad surface to work with, with ample margin for error.

mmmmmmmmmm......... ample


In any case, I practice my aim on the corner of a sofa chair in my living room. I noticed I have a lot more difficulty with my left hand than my right. Also, I use those cloth elastic pony tail thingies around the tails so i can adjust how much the tails spread. It's much easier to aim when I have the tails closed off closer to the tip, but sometimes I can get the tails to move together without it.

 

[MsErica]

Yes, I did too at first. The good news about that is it can improve faster than you think. I practiced with heavy focus on the left hand for about ten minutes a day for a couple weeks and it changed dramatically.

I think it's a combination of muscles that develop and coordination.

I am very fond of the middle of the back, giving and receiving. The more sensitive area certainly, and as someone who enjoys the after effects and marks lasting a good long while, this area is ideal for me and usually for those I treat to a good whipping/flogging.

 

[EmpressFi]

I noticed I have a lot more difficulty with my left hand than my right.

Actually, so did my Master. He was taking the rope flogger Homburg made in one hand and the leather one he made in his right and was working that felt to be a figure 8 along my back... but I could tell that he was having more difficulty with the left hand... maybe it deals more with your dominant hand...

 

[Netzach]

There is no rule but none in the world that doesn't let you hold the tails together in one hand before launching each stroke from your shoulder - this helps things fly right when you're using the non-dominant hand. It doesn't have to be this happy rhythmic thing.

 

[FungiUg]

I flog for two reasons.

Firstly, for fun. So then it's spots like thighs, butt, upper back and shoulders, arms, cunt, underside of tits. I'm veering more for upper back now because then I can start getting a little wrapping action around onto the sides. Fun fun.

The other reason is to warm up skin prior to caning or the like. That tends to be more butt-oriented. I've also started playing around with a cat-o-nine there as well.

My accuracy of placement isn't so fantastic yet that I want to go anywhere near kidneys or face -- have to give myself lots of room.
