    Just because the sub knows what they are getting into doesn’t mean they need to stoicly accept punishment, especially when they are being struck so hard. She is literally bruising after the first two strokes if you look carefully.

    I think you have a misconception that all whips are bullwhips with the purpose of breaking cattle and causing tissue lacerations, but this isn’t Indiana Jones. Part of the expertise in using a whip is knowing how much force to use. If you’re breaking skin right off the bat you’re not using it correctly. He is using the whip just fine.

      I own two whips. One is a plain neoprene lash whip which is what I use regularly, if such a thing is to be used. The other is a handmade 6 plait roo leather stockwhip, and it’s gorgeous. Absolutely suitable for cattle, and is used mostly as a display piece or for cracking at parties. 😆

      The truth is OP is right Lomp hit nearer to the handle than would be done for a maximum lashing. OP is wrong that it was because Lomp doesn’t know what he’s doing or just because it’s fake porn or whatever. That’s a real whip and the model is a real person and he’s keeping things legal. Actual torture - like actual snuff - is frowned upon by authorities.

        The handmade whip sounds super cool. I’m not knowledgeable about leatherworking, but how difficult was that to make?

        Edit : I misinterpreted handmade as homemade 😂

        That’s a real whip and the model is a real person and he’s keeping things legal. Actual torture - like actual snuff - is frowned upon by authorities.

        I actually typed an argument about crossing the threshold between consenting adults doing kinky things and illegal and torturous activities but removed that bit because it’s a bit tough to define where the line is and I figured it would fall on deaf ears. It’s important to always be mindful of this though for more extreme scenes.

          I didn’t make the whip! No. At the time I lived in Australia and there was a well known guy who made whips for actual cattle ranchers but had a side hustle making kink toys too. I think kinksters found him and when he realized it he just accepted them as another income stream. Anyway, that’s how I got it.

            Yeah I realized my mistake shortly after posting! I mistook handmade for homemade in your comment.

            I’m glad he leaned into the opportunity. I have to imagine kinksters and collectors likely will pay more than a rancher so it probably works out quite well for him if the work is quality!

      I commented else where but the gist is… I have no idea who he is or what he does… this is all I’ve seen of him ever.

      I’m glad to know he’s a professional and knows what he is doing.

        I also couldn’t have told you who this is, so I don’t fault you for that. Making blanket assumptions will ruffle feathers though.

        Really the important takeaway to understand is that it’s supposed to hurt, but not be literal torture.
