I’ll admit it: I am hard on my toys. To my sexy defense, a dominatrix’s goal, whether it’s a full-time, seasoned professional or Mrs. Suburbia House Wife who wants to get all freaky on her husband taking tips from books like “S&M For Dummies”, is to physically and mentally “break” down her subordinate. Well unless your slave is Gumby or Gandhi you are going to need some tools that can stand up to some hard flogging sessions.
I don’t mean to break my toys, I swear. The spanking just kind of gets started then lo and behold there are more bruises and red marks than the morning after a birthday party at a ruler factory. To be fair, even if I don’t play fair, I give fetish gear a bit of a handicap when reviewing them knowing that if I break something after a couple nights this particular toy could live in other’s boudoir for years with out faltering. What can I say? My slave aims to please her master by taking brutally sexy lashings, although during the summer I’m only allowed to really sully up skin that she can cover with a bathing suit.
Enter the Fetish Red Riding Crop from TLC. Upon first appearances this crop looks good to me. It’s a nice length, a bit over two feet, shiny material, nice sturdy handle, and playful leather endings to provide that extra snap. These aesthetics work for me. I can foresee a subordinate’s exposed skin, tight and ready. Then the slow pull back of the crop, the release, and the snap of the wrist at the perfect time that delivers a stinging blow against supple skin leaving a burning sensation and a nice red mark. I am, admittedly, turned on.
I get the riding crop home and start getting to know my weapon. Like any good dominate you must know what the instrument of pain will deliver before subjecting anyone else to your wrath. It’s just good practice, and probably chapter 1 in “S&M for Dummies.” So I’m smacking my arm getting the snap just right, and this behavior seems to be slightly scaring my roommate. The crop’s plastic material is nice, smooth enough to not feel rigid, cool enough to leave a memorable sting. The handle is oversized and has grips for the fingers allowing for s a study, powerful hold. All good things going on here.
Crack, crack, crack on my arm. I’m really having a good time with this! I begin spanking my hip like a jockey pushing his pony to the finish line. As soon as I start daydreaming about pony play and seemingly out of nowhere the crop spilt in two with the end half dangly sad and regretful from a piece of remaining plastic revealing an even sadder piece of plastic that ran through the crop. Game over.
So we are only left to look at the Red Riding Crop’s good points and bad points. Looks good, breaks easy. Well I guess that’s about it. If you are looking for a low priced, highly theatrical toy that, like some slaves, will only be up for play if you take it lightly then this is your ideal punishment device. FetishRedRiderCrop
