The Bastinado

[ouchfeelsgood]

Bastinado has always intrigued me, though I've never experienced it full force for fear of damaging one of the small bones of my feet. (try explaining that to the orthopedic surgeon) But I had a partner once who, as part of her sadistic techniques, would use rubber bands to deliver sharp stings to the soles of my feet. I've had hot wax dripped on the soles, in addition to having the bottom of my feet raked with all sorts of sharp, pointy objects (i.e -- chopsticks, BBQ skewers, my wife's fingernails, etc.) Maybe one of these days I'll try real bastinado.

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

So wonderful to see you here again. Hope life has been treating you well and all is fine in your world.

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

It seems to be buried deep in most women

Mmmm a sadistic streak! It seems to be buried deep in most women. I often find the submissive women come up with the greatest torment ideas to share with me.

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!

Trust is a very interesting word. Sometimes it is developed through the harsher realities and sometimes through the less is more approach. I think trust develops the quickest when respect is at the forefront and when the respect goes both ways. Earned rather than obligated.

When pain is the vehicle I have always found breaking up the pain deliverance with small moments of pleasure and reassurances to be the most effective. In fact creating a form of addiction to the soft and the hard.

The fear of the bastinado and the extreme discomfort does build a bond with the giver and the receiver. I suspect the bond increases with the verbalization's that accompany the brutality. One without the other seems to be much less effective. A unique love language of its own when used as a training or discipline.

Another thing indeed when it is used as a punishment. Can you imagine the depth of my wrath when it reaches that point?

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 . . .

Hello FurryFury, it is so nice to be back and to be so warmly welcomed ~~smile~~

I have always enjoyed the bastinado but never to the extent that I enjoy it now. I agree, the partner is the catalyst to the enjoyment. My new slave has brought out the 'Beastier' side of me...as if I needed to be any beastlier!

Hello ouchfeelsgood and thank you for adding your voice to this conversation ~~smile~~

I loveeeeeee the rubber band pain deliverance. Different sizes on different areas...toes tied together and a long lazy night of 'strumming' the feet. Even licking the soles and blowing on them can cause an erotic discomfort which messes with the mind.

I think we are limited only by our imaginations when it comes to foot torture.

Full force is not required for a real bastinado experience...many repetitions over 2 or 3 hours of mild to medium pain can be just as debilitating without worry of damage. It is the end result not the method that is intoxicating.

I've so missed your posts Shadowsdream

I've not been posting lately, so it would seem i'm 'out of season,' but hopefully you'll still be around when I get down to posting again.

For the topic at hand; I'm not sure how I'd feel about bastinado, from either side.

I've always been only marginally ticklish on my feet, little enough that I can suppress it sufficiently to convince most people that I'm not ticklish there at all. Given how very ticklish I am everywhere else, most people who might try tend to give up and go for my ribs anyway.

Also, I tend to be more touchy about any kind of leverage or restraint on my left ankle since I broke it a couple years ago.

On the flipside; As someone who has casually studied reflexology in the past, I think at the very least I'd want to brush up before administering a bastinado. The small bones aren't the only thing to worry about; the internal organs and spine have corresponding nerve endings in the feet, though I don't know whether or how much of an effect on them whipping would have.

It occurs to me that being concerned about nerve endings for bastinado makes me something of a hypocrite though, given that I used to burn the sole of my right foot, but little we do in the depths of depression can be called reasonable.

I don't lurk much recently, let alone post, but your thread has piqued my curiosity; I'll make an effort to at least check in, if for no other reason than my enthusiasm for your return.

Welcome back Shadowsdream.

Hello Stag of Oberon, I also go away from posting now and then. Sometimes life is far to active and other times I have run out of anything useful to add. Yet I always come back to Literotica for the quality of conversations I enjoy so much.

I am in the midst of a move so have been slow with my replies. Hopefully that will alter after tomorrow.

I think the bastinado is so successful because of the stimulation to many organs and though it adds a little to know what is where I am not so sure it is necessary. After studying a little on reflexology I was surprised to see that the heel is the site of the sexual organs, funny thing that is the area my daughter and grand daughter always want more attention on when I give them foot massages.

Depression does seem to be a vehicle to inflicting self pain or maim. I was a cutter for years and was actually surprised when I realized it had been years since the last cutting. I see the self inflicted pain as a positive not a negative when dealing with the mind.

I also see the pain and pleasure of the things we do with consent to be healing if one has that intent in mind. I include this mode of healing under the umbrella of bastinado.

I will look forward to hearing your voice more in the participation of new threads I hope to begin when I am settled in my new home.

Hello catalina_francisco, so nice to see you! I am very pleased to be back here amongst friends.

Much has changed in my world since I last dropped in. I now own a Syrian slave 24/7 instead of a Swedish slave. I am deliriously happy with him and the rawness of taking a new man to slavery my way. The ex slave is now a Master and doing well, we remain close friends after more than a dozen years.

Life is good, how is it with you?

You are an amazing person.


...as for the rest of that post... guess I'm sleeping in the wet spot tonight

Glad I gave you some food for thought. The rubber bands were quite the exquisite foot torture ... she varied the thickness of the rubber bands, and the areas of my feet they were used on. I found the thinner rubber bands to be more painful since they delivered a sharper, more stingy sensation than the thicker variety. And my toes were a favorite target, since she could tell by my squirming that they were quite sensitive.

And you're right in your observation that a creative, kinky, sadistic imagination can create all sorts of interesting scenarios. And not limited to just the feet, of course ...
