Thanks Smallest. I'm thinking about adding one of these to the collection. I've always managed to have cloth between me and the horse's tail.

Does anyone have experience with horsehair floggers? I'm particularly interested in the experience from a sub's viewpoint.

I use these for "permanent" connections http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lehigh-880-lb-x-1-4-in-Zinc-Plated-Quick-Link-7035S-24/100149249#.UnPE5lPDPH8 and these for quick connects http://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Hillman-Group-Trigger-Snap-with-Ring-701328/100126546#.UnPGgVPDPH8

I have a set similar to these. The black tips are a slick plastic. I had moderate success with improving the grip by roughing up the surface with sandpaper. Wrapping the tips with rubber bands worked better. I've been thinking about trying these rubber finger tips -...

SubIA, I have heard this from my female friends so many times that I have lost count. It appears that many of the guys using the data sites and Craigslist are simply jackasses that don't understand how to interact with people as adults let alone interact with a sub. I very much appreciate that...

How about a balaclava? They're typically used for winter sports and motorcycle riding. The one I use allows the use of sunglasses quite comfortably. You may want to research different materials such as lycra...

Silence works wonders. Most people will struggle to fill an long lag in the conversation, especially during a new meeting. Simply asking a question and pausing after they answer will cause them discomfort. During play time I lay out one of these next to the various toys...

MrSir, take time to read through the beginners FAQ. There is lots of good info there. Communication is key. However, as I read the question, it's about mindset. Growing p in the south I was raised to behave as a gentleman and to protect and respect ladies. I've found that a beginning ritual...

MissTrussed, I'm sure the others have already said it but welcome... The open and supportive atmosphere is why I joined this forum. I saw the same attitude on other forums which I cannot understand. I care very deeply for my previous subs. It seems that in some places people mistake caring for...

MissTrussed, I am very sorry for your lost. Please seek the support of your friends. When you are grieving you need your support network. They don't really need to know the intimate details of your relationship, only that you have lost someone very close to you. Sebastian's right, grieve at your...

OP, per my reply to Sebastian, as I said my goal was to get her to a place where we could talk (or argue) about the issue productively. It sounds like you guys are already working it out. I'd suggest and evening out.... Set her up in a corner booth where she can watch you "work the crowd."...

Thanks Sebastian. I don't want to get into details but she put our relationship at risk. She could not get out of her defensive attitude about the issue so I chose that method to bring everything to a head. My goal was to get her talking which happened, though for a while there it could have...

My last relationship was long distance and we'd usually meet up while I was there on business. The last time I needed to use punishment we had planned to meet as normal. We had spent the previous week in our usual pre-meeting discussions and she so knew that she would be punished. Typically...

Over next to the luffa's pick up a pair of exfoliating gloves.

The wire kennels I'm familiar with are designed to break down very quickly for storage. Pull the pins at the corners holding it together and it collapses very easy. So they are not really "secure" for humans and can be escaped from easily. The biggest concern I see is trapping wrists in the...
