Setting up a flogging scene

So not everyone has access to a dungeon to play in or a cross to flog on. If you do, you're very lucky and should take advantage of that resource. Otherwise you must make do with things you can find. It's not that hard and it's not really dangerious as long as you play safe. The first thing to consider is where are you going to play.

The place you pick should be large enough to keep from cramping you as you swing and the ceiling should be high enough that you can swing the flogger without hitting the ceiling. You'll want to get a towel, a hood and a weight belt or another towel and either a cross or a friend to lean the sub against. All of these items are to protect the sub.


When flogging, even a light flogging, it's possible for a sub to lock his knees and colapse. To avoid this scenario, you need a cross to tie them to or a friend to support them and catch them if they fall. You could also secure them to other things, but you get the idea. The point is that if their knees colapse, you don't want them to fall and hit their heads.



The first towel goes around the neck of the sub to prevent accidental injury to the spine. The second towel or weight belt goes around the waist, making sure that the sub's kidney's are protected from stray hits from the flogger. Lastly the hood is to prevent accidental hits to the face. Subs have a nasty habit of looking back to see what's going on just as your throwing the flogger.



All of these things are important safety considerations. My next entry will be an instructional video. I hope you're looking forward to it. I know I am!
