I love riding crops. Before the savion samurai, crops were my favorite spanking instrument to use myself and be used on me. However, I hardly ever get crops from sex shops, because they usually are overpriced and aren’t very sturdy. I got my four different riding crops from the horse equipment shop. But last summer, I got a chance to visit one of Finland’s largest sex shop that also has a BDSM corner, I went browsing and found this mean-looking little crop – The Dragon Strike Crop. It was love at first sight really. You see, I had always been under the impression that one should always mind the ‘turn’ of flexible spanking instrument like thin canes, dressage crops or floggers. Because the main impact point is never the one that hurts the most, the most damage is caused when the tip of the instrument wrap around the curve of the bottom and turn and hits the side. Sometimes the thigh at the front or even the inner thigh. It’s dangerous because many don’t pay attention to it and some spankers aren’t even aware of the damage they are doing. Whenever pain is accidentally and not intentionally… well, let’s just say it’s not what a good spanker should do. When I entered the BDSM scene in Helsinki, I met many experienced spankers and they taught me that ‘the turn’ is not something one should completely avoid, but it is something one should learn to control and use accordingly.
Sounds logical, right? 😀 Somehow, it took someone else to tell me that, and then I got really excited and decided to master the turn. So back to the Dragon Strike crop, it’s one of those rare instruments that is designed for the turn, made to do maximum damage upon the turn. It became the very first (and probably the last) riding crop I bought from sex shops.
Let me geek out a sec about the design. It’s a regular black riding crop, semi-flexible. But that little leather flap that forms the tip of most riding crops is replaced by a loose string with ‘dragon scales’ made from leather attached to it. The leather is very hard, making the very tip of it extremely sharp. I always use it to strike the ass when I aim for the thigh. Even with my ‘puny girl strength’, a medium level hit would be enough to break the skin. The first time I used it I broke the skin from the inner thigh of the one I was spanking. It was glorious, I was in love. I affectionately named it ‘Dragon’s Tail’. ❤
I was so sure I would always just have a loving relationship towards my Dragon’s Tail until Oliver the Sadist discovered it. I don’t think I’ve never shown him how I use it, actually I am not sure how he uses it. But last time when he did, I had literally never experienced any other spanking instrument as painful as that. He does it at extremely fast speed and with remarkable strength. I am not 100% sure but he doesn’t use ‘the tail’ for the turn, he strikes me straight with the sharp af tail! He spanked my ass with it about 20 strikes in quick succession, so fast that I didn’t have time to breathe. All I could do was tense up and held my breathe and pray for it to be over soon. And when it stopped, and I let out the breath and relaxed my muscles, there was pure silence behind me and it wasn’t like Oliver not to taunt me with words. Then I heard him say “Oops… I guess, yellow?” I was bewildered. Sure, it hurt like a mofo but I didn’t say yellow. So why he said yellow? Then he started to explain how tens of droplets of blood started oozing out all at once when I let out my breath and relaxed, my ass was all bloody. I couldn’t believe it! Okay, I have to admit that it did feel like tiny knife stabs, the pain is the sharpest type I’ve ever experienced with any spanking instruments. I can’t decide whether I love the viciousness of the thing or not, I definitely am not a fan of that certain brand of pain. A part of me hate it as much as I love it, I have to admit that I do like to have my skin break sometimes. I just wish Oliver wouldn’t always deal out the strikes so fast…
That’s my tale about the Dragon’s Tail. I hope you liked it. 🙂 It has been a while that I wrote anything to the spanko series, but believe me when I say I still love it, spanking and being spanked. What’s not to like, right? 😛 I shall attempt to write something to add to the fetish series next week. Until then, stay kinky! 😉
