Hello to those I have yet to meet and long time no see to those who have been here forever ~~smile~~

...perhaps this will be a new conversation or at the very least not a recent one.

The bastinado has become a deep love of mine through my new 24/7 slave. Though he seems to have a love hate relationship with this form of corporal punishment it is love all the way for me.

The simplicity of the brutality feeds my sadistic hungers without the complications of rifling through hundreds of toys to find just the 'right' instrument to satisfy my needs to deliver excruciating pain without much effort.

Positions vary upon mood and circumstance but one thing for sure, for me, is just the right angle to deliver full force punishment upon the soles of the feet. Not forgetting the pleasure of beating the heels and every inch between.

Depending upon the victim ooops I mean submissive one! it may be advisable or necessary to tie them down or up as the case may require. Tying the big toes together gives more control and less wiggle room.

Now a sane Woman would never consider full force...but I have always lived on the edge of a non consensual love style. Full force is seldom required but creating the facade that there will be no other way can play with the mind in ways that add to the torture.

The bastinado has many uses depending upon the severity and longevity. Training for endurance. Disciplining for mistakes. Punishment for deliberate disobedience.

Warm up and slow sweet surrender or brutal insistence.

anyone care to join me in a conversation?
 
May I say how lovely it is to see you Ma'am? :)

Bastinado is a fascinating thing... I've only experienced it once or twice, quite lightly; although, I'm afraid even "light" bastinado was uncomfortable enough to push my limits. In the back of my head I always worry about damage. Feet just seem so delicate (says the woman who spends her days standing more than sitting LOL).
 
It looks really interesting, but I'm not sure I'd ever care to try it. I spend a great deal of time on my feet at work and one of my "rules" about my sex life is that it cannot interfere with my work.

Honestly, even if someone was incredibly gentle about it (going for sensation over pain), I think I'd pass. My feet are INCREDIBLY ticklish and I don't like them messed with.

I have only experienced light bastinado (imagine a paint mixing stick with more sting than strike), but it is this illusion . . . that full force is the only way to play . . . that we have nurtured over many years.

Knowing that he is willing to use force, that it is within the boundaries of the experience, is thrilling. The threat is thrilling. It colors even the lightest touch.

Especially when the use of force has the added element of surprise.
 
My feet are ticklish too, but-- bastinado is incredibly erotic to me. I can take more pain than I ever expect, and end up soaking wet.

I do worry about damage, and have had to deal with bruises or tenderness afterwards, and I haven't bottomed in that way in quite a while. Now that you mention it...

Hello CutieMouse, so wonderful to see you again as well ~~smile~~

Light bastinado really is as intense for most as the more brutal corporal punishment. I engage in it myself when I am in a more seductive mood. With so many tiny bones in feet it is important to stay focused and not strike the top of the foot, though I do like to tweak the nails with light to medium taps.

The single tail licking the souls is quite intoxicating and need not be painful but more of an erotic caress.

I would kill anyone that touched me feet! I am extremely ticklish and lose my mind when they are touched in the wrong way...hmmm but foot worship...oh never mind that is another topic ~~grin~~

Hello bhndblueyes, thank you for joining the conversation ~~smile~~.

I have a female friend who has foot torture as a hard limit for the very same reasons. Very reasonable reasons indeed. I am in agreement about the ticklish element as well from a personal point of view though using the tickle technic is great for a sadist ~~grin~~

Nice to meet you!

Hello eastern sun, welcome to the conversation. I will look forward to hearing more of your experiences.

I think the simple paint stick is one of the best tools to begin with and it never loses its punch even though it may be mind in comparison to some other pieces. It is one of those 'everyone should have it' tools many don't think about.

I also like to incorporate the element of surprise, or the over hanging threat of imminent assault on the way. The mind being more the target than the foot.

Thank you for adding your voice and experience.

Hello Stell_Omega, how nice to hear about your enjoyment of this not so often used method. When it works for you it is a real basic turn on. I find it builds my passion to be relentlessly sadistic for hours on end, with my imagination knowing no boundaries.

Bruises do not seem to be too common though tenderness is desired, from my side of the stick of course.

The first time I did the bastinado to my new Syrian slave he was unable to stand and had to crawl up the stairs. It was lovely! After less than five minutes he was back to normal and craving a harder experience.

I hope you will get to bottom in this way again soon. I have begun to introduce it to my community and it is catching on like wild fire. Especially with the Mistress's and submissive girls.

Thank you for joining the conversation and I look forward to hearing more of your opinions.
 
Wow, when I saw this thread I thought someone must have bumped an old thread, and then I saw who'd posted last and re-read it cause I figured I'd read it wrong (I am really tired, after all). But I didn't! Welcome back!

Regarding the reason for the thread, I'm not much into foot pain, but that's probably a lot to do with my feet constantly hurt. lol When I lose this weight and my feet heal :)D) I might have to check it out, I usually like thuddy kinds of pain.
 
I'm not interested in bastinado, but it is truly a delight to see you here again Shadowsdream!

He has a penchant for using whatever he can lay his hands on, and there was a period a while back when he used two paint sticks like a drummer (in various places across my whole body - not just the soles of my feet). I loved the sensation, it was very pleasurable, and when he periodically snuck in the full force snaps, it just added another dimension to the experience.

In my opinion, the mind is the best target. Though I always crave the physical sensations, (they form the foundation of the energy exchange that is taking place), it is the mind play and the development of mental discipline that has had the most interesting effect in my life.

Nice to meet you!

I do love to babble on and it's a pleasure to meet you. YAY polite people :D

*cackle* honestly, I've just been DYING for the chance to lash him down when he's asleep and VENGENCE-TICKLE the boyfriend to death. Not literally of course. But he has it coming!
 
SD! Wow... long long time no see! It's good to see you wander back in!

As for bastinado, it's not something that I've ever really gotten into, but having said that, perhaps our next session might find some bastinado incorporated. Most likely, it would be relatively light to start with, to see where her limits might begin...

Sounds a little scary to me....although if it were you causing the pain I'm sure it would be enjoyable. I suppose that much trust would have to be in place for me to not be afraid of having that done to me.


BTW I miss You and I :heart: You Mistress M! :cattail:

Hello Graceanne how nice to see you! Thank you for adding your voice to this new conversation.

Damn feet, they sure do not make it easy to find a victim...ooops I mean a participant ~~smile~~

I am quite pleasantly surprised to see this form of corporal punishment taking off in all places I am mentioning it in.

Though the pain can be thudding I hear more feed back about it being stingy...though mileage differs I am sure due to personal tolerance and instruments used.

I look forward to seeing more of you as I develop more new threads

Hello Etoile, it certainly has been a long time no see!

Perhaps you will find something interesting in future threads?

I have always enjoyed reading your well thought out opinions!

He sounds like a very smart man eastern sun! A man after my own heart. Its interesting how much pain and sensation the cute little unassuming paints sticks can produce. A bit like the innocent bamboo canes...lots of variation. Add in the mind fuck and holy cow!

I really am enjoying hearing about how it is in your world. Thank you again

ah ha tickle torture! You are an evil woman ~~grin~~ Its always nice to have an authentic reason (he has it coming) though I am sure you would agree a reason is not always necessary except the reason of desire to torment!

Hey hey hey! How are you these day Sir_Winston, it truly seems like longer than forever. Life does get in the way of the Internet now and then.

I hope you will explore the bastinado and find it as pleasing as I have. I have even begun to consider getting rid of a few hundred pieces of equipment as redundant..then I have a reality flash and reconsider.

Do let me know if you give the bastinado a go. I would love to 'hear all about it'

Hello pretty girl, I was wondering were you were! I have missed you as well ~~smile~~. I hope all is wonderful in your world.

Scary is a good thing don't you think? As you pointed out trust is a big thing with punishments or scenes using the bastinado but there can also be a certain thrill taking a complete stranger to new heights of pain and endurance ~~grin~~

The bastinado seems to create a deeper bond between those involved even when it is not necessarily consensual!

It is so nice to have your voice mixing with mine again, I look forward to many more conversations and catching up.

lol I don't usually dish out the torment. I have a sadistic streak that would relish in it, but I haven't taken the opportunity to flip the tables on him as of yet. Haven't really had the chance/energy/confidence, honestly. Eventually ;)

Scary is always a plus for me. I love that heart pounding dry mouth not knowing what is to come feeling.
I can also see how a bond can deepen from that type of pain. You start it and end it and in between I would be at your mercy. Lost in the pain is where I would be so I would have to know for sure that the person inflicting it would know just how far to take it before it became damaging... there's that trust thing again.

And yes, there is a lot of catching up to do!
 
Good to see you here again, Shadowsdream. You have been missed.

Bastinado isn't one of my kinks though if it were one that my partner was
into . . .

:rose:
 
Greetings Ma'am~

This is quite intriguing. The soles of my feet are tingling at the thought of it, although having experienced plantar fasciitis in the past, I am cringing a bit as well...

Thank you for giving me something new to consider.
