How Does a Whip Feel?

Hi! My sexual history is very straight and I'm trying to learn more - explore different ideas of what turns me on. My experience is limited to being spanked by hand, and I fantasize about it often. Not something I experience now, but I still remember it.

But someone on Literotica the other day asked me if I've felt a whip or knew anything about them, and I realized I know nothing. And I really DO want to know. So I looked around these forums for more information, but without finding any simple answers.

Maybe there aren't any simple answers, but I thought I'd ask anyway: Could anyone with more experience tell me about why they enjoy (or don't enjoy) being whipped? What should I know before bringing this into my life (assuming I ever do...)?

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.

P.S. Can you also tell me the difference between floggers, crops, canes and others? I'm kind of confused about it all. Thank you!

Are you talking about being hit specifically with a whip? Or about being whipped/spanked/beaten in general with the items you listed in your PS? Because each of those things has a different feel to it. It also feels differently on different parts of your body.

I've personally never experienced a whip, but have experienced floggers of different materials, different kinds of crops, belts, canes, paddles, a tawse, straps, a hair brush, and wooden spoons - I'm sure there's more but at the moment I can't think of any. Each of these items has a very different feel. Also, it depends on how it's being used - hard, soft, what angle, and what the circumstances are. While I'm sure some people here will be able to describe perfectly how it feels, I find it difficult to put into words unless you're asking about a specific item. A heavy suede flogger feels thuddy when it lands full force, but can sting like a bitch when just the ends hit hard. I've even experienced a flogger made out of tube socks stuffed with rolled up tube socks - not very painful but thuds pretty deeply. Thickness, flexibility, and force can vary each one of the items listed. Personally, I'm not much of a cane lover - in fact, if you want to punish me, that's what you should use.

But even with that description, each person is different. I can take quite a hard beating on my back and ass, but get going on my thighs or chest, and I can't take as much. There are others who love to be beaten on their chest but don't take as much on their ass. So ultimately, the best way for you to learn what they are truly like is to try them.

Floggers are like cat-o-nine-tails. Lots of strips of material (leather, suede, plastic, tube socks, vinyl, etc) bound together on one end into a handle. Sometimes the ends of the strips are weighted. Sometimes not. Depending on the material, and how hard it is swung, and where it hits, it may sting, thunk, or really freakin' hurt.

Crops are like the sticks used when riding horses. They are long and thin, usually with a little tongue of leather looped on the end. I don't know much about them.

Canes are sticks, usually thin but not always.

Whips are, obviously, whips.

I'm not personally familiar with the experience of most of these, but I think that most of them have the ability to hurt a good deal more than a spanking, unless the spanker is hitting really hard.

I prefer spankings over other objects, although I'll probably eventually try out a few of them. I just think it feels more personal, and since I only really want a mild to middling pain level anyway, I don't need much more.

When you say whip I think singletail,for simplicity that is a bullwhip. There are a few diffrent types,snake whip or a signal whip or a stock whip but just for demo purposes, a bullwhip.

There are a couple of diffrent ways that I can do a scene with a whip. For the most most dramatic effect I would essenctially drag a small portion of the whip accross some part of your body. The whip will crak a split second just before it touches you and most of the energy is gone and what you would feel is a small bite and then the final drag across your body part.
I can achieve this with you standing, on a bench or lying on the floor.This type of scene I can deliver what ever level of bite you choose.

There is another way to do a whip scene it is for the seasoned pain person, it is callled a wrap and snap. I essence I would throw the whip at you and you will get the brunt of it and then the whip will crack and then you will get the bite. YES THIS HURTS.

There are a few other variants of impliments, a dragons tail, is like a rolled up towel, only using leather. The floggers also vary in size weight and the effects that they leave with you.

ps, yes I can even use two whips in what is called flourintine style.

If all this is true, you may consider me to be thoroughly impressed.

I recently borrowed a bullwhip, and have been playing around with it in the backyard for the last few days. That CRACK - what a fucking rush.

But my aim is complete crap. Honestly, how long did you have to practice to even come close to the target you want to hit?

And while we're on the subject of your target.... how on god's green earth do you keep from ripping the skin right off her back? I took a shot at a very tough tree, and a huge chunk of bark burst off and travelled about 12 feet before landing on the grass. Satisfying but sobering at the same time, if you know what I mean.

I am NOT a "seasoned pain person" (to quote Sheaf Beast) but the thought of a bull whip is very appealing.

I like the idea of having my breasts pulled outward away from my body (by clamps and chains) and a bull whip snapping out and wrapping around the upper part of my breasts.

Its not the pain that makes it work for me, but the skill needed, the level of trust and pattern the whip would leave behind.

I even included that thought in a recent story I wrote for him, but as he has no experience of a bull whip and I am a coward it will probably remain an interesting thought, not a reality.

Practice makes perfect

First things first, the quality of the whip you are using has a lot to do with what you are trying to do.

My first post in this thread really does sum it up, if I were to stike you we would start at a lower pain threshold and go from there. It also stands to reason that I would only strike you on your meaty and personal choice place of your body that you could tolerate it, usually the shoulders or straight down your back.

It is kinda simple, if you look at it like the scene you are in. If I struck you a couple of times and cut you in half you said stop the scene is over, so if I strike you and just lightly and touch you with the whip we can take that scene to a new level of play.

There are only a few directions that you can strike someone with a whip, vertical,horozinaly or caddy cornered you cant make a S with one single strike.

So I add some flair to a scene I strike with the right hand and pass the whip behind my back and strike with the left hand. To create the X

The two handed scene is a little more difficult to master, it takes the space to use both whips at the same time, maybe you have seen someone use a pair of floggers, they call it flourintine.

Something we havent even touched on yet is the wrap, I like to use a long whip usually 8' to 10' whip and my victim stands facing me. I come at the person with all my body weight and might and throw this whip at them and it will wrap around them. I can take the energy out of the whip and it will wrap softly and give just a lite bite on their back where the cracker falls, or for the seasoned individual we can step up to the wrap and snap. That is exactly what it does, the victim gets the full brunt of the whip and their body carries the whip around and accelerating the whip to get the crack and then when the cracker lands. WARNING IT HURTS

I made a post sometime ago, Singletails the kings of the scenes. They are, it is a crowd pleaser as well as a showstopper.

The post describes the diffrent type of whips. Just a quick refresher.

Bullwhips,(solid handle) all lengths and weights 3' to 15' whips and longer.

Stock whips(solid handle with lash attached by loop) for routines.

Snake whips(limber whip from butt to fall knot) 3' to 12' whips

Signal whip(limber whip with cracker plaited into lash) used by mushers and close scene play. usually 3' length whip, rarely found longer.

Wow. You people are amazing and really very generous with your knowledge and experiences. Thank you so much for sharing with me. You've honestly helped me understand more. There are things that I fear and things I might try one day. Maybe.

It's all an adventure these days, I'm telling you.

Ah the breast, a favorite target

I am NOT a "seasoned pain person" (to quote Sheaf Beast) but the thought of a bull whip is very appealing.

I like the idea of having my breasts pulled outward away from my body (by clamps and chains) and a bull whip snapping out and wrapping around the upper part of my breasts.

Its not the pain that makes it work for me, but the skill needed, the level of trust and pattern the whip would leave behind.

I even included that thought in a recent story I wrote for him, but as he has no experience of a bull whip and I am a coward it will probably remain an interesting thought, not a reality.

This type of scene usually requires 3 people, the willing victim, the person holding the breasts upward and outward, presenting a delicous target, and the person using the whip.

The willing victim of the scene that I did was most satisified that I could use just the nipples as the target.

Maybe I sould have a disclaimer in these posts.

WARNING DONT TRY THIS AT HOME

Having a victim facing me and using the breasts as a target, this does present a risk to the victims eyes. So be aware of what you are getting youself into.

Another favorite of mine is to invert my victim and strike the buttocks, it is really cute to watch the buttocks twitch with delight as the whip strikes.

I fantasized about the spanking sometimes, but it embarrasses me that I do, so I try not to...

 

[JMohegan]

Thanks, SB. This helps me a lot.

First things first, the quality of the whip you are using has a lot to do with what you are trying to do.

I don't know how much it cost, but the bullwhip I am borrowing is made of beautiful kangaroo leather, 12' long, feels fairly heavy, and was purchased in Sydney. It does not look, or feel, cheap.

if I strike you and just lightly and touch you with the whip we can take that scene to a new level of play.

There are only a few directions that you can strike someone with a whip, vertical,horozinaly or caddy cornered you cant make a S with one single strike.

If I understand you correctly, the CRACK would be heard *before* the whip strikes the body in these cases.

When I struck the tree, the crack and the hit were simultaneous, which perhaps explains the damage from the straight on, full force strike.

Something we havent even touched on yet is the wrap, I like to use a long whip usually 8' to 10' whip and my victim stands facing me. I come at the person with all my body weight and might and throw this whip at them and it will wrap around them.

WARNING IT HURTS

I assume you measure your partner ahead of time, in order to determine the length of the wrap and thus know where the cracker will land.

I'm also assuming that this DOES hurt - a whole hell of a lot - but that it is not as dangerous as a single forward strike in which the tool hits the skin simultaneously with the crack.

No doubt. Thanks again, SB.

If you measured the whip accordingly then the total length of your whip may be as much as 16'

The aussies measure from the butt to the fall knot, then add fall length, then add cracker length.

That is a big whip, no doubt. For practice try wrapping the whip around something soft like a plastic barrel or put a cloth around the tree.

Take care of your whip!

The fall and cracker are designed to be replaced, take care not to break the strands, use in grass or on slick concrete floor. Do not use in the street or rough concrete.

A whip of the size that you have practice the side arm throw, just like throwing a baseball, when you aim for the target your arm motion stops straight in front of you, DONT PULL BACK!
Aim just to the side of the target, let the whip crack and wrap.

Thanks, man. This helps a lot - especially the parts about soft targets, not pulling back, and aiming to the side of the target.

I've been swinging to the side - like you say, throwing a baseball is a good comparison. [I initially tried to swing like a serve in tennis.... with really embarrassing results.]

Thanks again. This is awesome.

Someone once said to me, "bullwhips are like playing with knives that travel faster than sound. You want to be perfect before you even think about trying them with someone." I took that advice to heart, and after a few practice sessions, I got to the point where I could crack it once in a great while, and could generally wrap it around tree limbs. I assessed the time it took me to get that skilled, and the time it would take before I would feel comfortable with a living, breathing person trusting me with this - and then went back to floggers and paddles. I realized I was never going to get good enough to make myself comfortable that I was as safe as possible with bullwhips and other singletails.

 

[BeachGurl2]

All this talk about bull whips just reminds why I've never had the pleasure . . . I'm not sure what level of trust it would take before I'd be willing to be the target for one of those. But I would hope that when/if I get to that point with anyone, he's as skilled as SB sounds. Great discussion, guys.

 

[catalina_francisco]

Have to say the bullwhip has become a favourite of mine. I had both a bullwhip and stockwhip handmade from kangaroo leather in Oz before I moved here permanently. The stockwhip is too long for using at home, but thanks to our high ceilinged attic bedroom we have room for the bullwhip. It is hard to describe the feeling, partly because everyone experiences sensations diffferently, but for me it is similar to a flame at very close range crossing my flesh and then some. The sensation does not go away in a second, and varies depending on the intensity of the power behind the lash and target area. Either way, though I have a respectful fear of it, I also love it.

Now back to trying to get organised here which has kept me away from posting far too much!!

I can take quite a hard beating on my back and ass, but get going on my thighs or chest..... So ultimately, the best way for you to learn what they are truly like is to try them.

WOW! You sound like a GREAT slave! I've wanted to witness a good whipping and maybe even administer a few lashes myself. It would seem to me, however, that the real excitement would come from the slave NOT knowing how much pain she would receive and NOT know when the Dom would be satisfied with the punishment. I would think that having "safe" words and such would take some of the fun out of it...at least for me.

It would be VERY arousing to try out various whips on my subject to see what whips I like...not what she likes.

 

[Netzach]

if you are learning with a 12 footer you are jumping into the very deep end of the pool without your water wings.

I can deliver a nice, controlled sensation with a 3 foot whip. (looks less silly when you are only 5'4'') Almost all the whips I've seen used in session are 3 to 5 feet. I've seen one expert who goes for the long ones, but he does very public performance oriented stuff.

I can't even be heard by a sub at 12 feet in a normal conversational tone. I've played with a long admittedly cheapass whip and I think I'd take my eye out sooner or later if it's longer than I am tall.

As for what it feels like with a good solid crack, it hurts like a sumbitch in an annoying way, but take that with a grain of salt considering any maso leanings I ever had have waned a great deal. I made M have one shot at me with it so I knew. (He's sub and competent, what a guy!)

I would love to see you whipped...LOL! Especially with a bull whip! I'm getting turned on right now just fantasizing about it! How would the whipping be if you were hung by your hands and your feet off the ground? Would you be able to endure it? That way, your body would speak volumes to the audience with the freedom to express your reaction with every lash, feet running in air, torso writhing.....whew!

I suspect we are on different planets...we don't need an audience for what we do which is why we avoid the club/party scene and just do our own thing 24/7. As to endurance, I'm sure you would be surprised to know what I endure.
