Short Rubber Strap with Oak Handle

After yet another paddling and some reflective thought, I have decide to change my rating from four to five stars. Yes, there’s still a problem with the actual length of the strap. It is advertised as having an eight-inch business-end of rubber, but one of those inches is recessed into the handle, which makes for a tight unit but left only seven inches of actual strap. Now a good paddle stings the sweet-spot on both cheeks with the same lick. This paddle does the job but at first I gave it only four stars, but now I’ve changed it to five stars. I think my story will explain.My sweetheart Kathy is 5’6’’ tall, and every inch is packed with dynamite; and she is scrappy, which makes her muscles even more explosive. On the other hand, I’m a great procrastinator and also easily tempted into behavior that is not good for me. Having a bit of masochism, I enlisted her love to help me get more self-discipline, and thus gave her the authority to bend me OTK for a severe paddling whenever she thought I needed it. She giggled at the idea of being my conscience and took up her role with burning immediacy. And yes, of all materials, rubber stings worse than any other. In addition, the sting is cumulative, growing more frightful with each lick.Therefore, I got her a strap. It had fourteen inches of rubber plus a wooden handle — and boy! did it hurt! But, that’s just the problem. The strap is all or nothing.  After three or four licks, I’m in such agony I can’t take it anymore. She’s strong, so it takes me about twelve seconds to break free from her grip in order to save my naked bottom.Needless to say, the long strap is too torturous. When obedience is all from pain and over so quickly, there’s little of the sexual crossover that helps discipline become self-discipline. Thus, I changed to the Short Rubber Spanking Paddle.Now, when Kathy bends me OTK, she has much more discretion, and with my hands bound it takes quite a while to get free from her grip. I’m at her mercy.While pinning me over her thigh, she can measure out the anguish of each lick according to her wants, and she can explore the nuances of this music until ‘bingeing’ it into a crescendo. By tightening her muscles to hold me still, she can artfully modulate each passing moment of my dismay.She starts carefully, letting the short rubber strap do the work. Even so, the first seven or eight licks still sting like blazes. By the fifth lick my feet begin to kick, and by the eighth lick my bottom desperately clutches to what little is left of my masochistic joy, which is racing away like sand through a sieve, and Kathy is having fun.After eight, she easies off just a little and spanks my bottom with the next five licks so she can tease and taunt my quivering, bucking fanny as it pushes back against the growing torment of pure punishment. That cumulative sting has not stopped increasing, and what’s left of my masochistic pleasure burns into ash and no longer exist. And by the fourteenth lick? I’m in terrible trouble and counting — talk about cry! It is no joke! By the time Kathy is finished, she has paddled a throbbing, stinging red silhouette of that strap across the very sweet-spot of my bottom. And, she is delighted with herself.Since that first paddling, I have never truly wanted another. Oh yes, I’m actively aware of the moth to the flame effect — and, the resulting consequences.  Furthermore, I’m not above having a yen from a distance. Yet, I know the fear of standing there and what’s about to happen. When the moment-of-truth is at hand, it is no joke. The one thing that saves me is: she generally stays closer to 15 licks than to 30 — which is a mercy. The problem is: Whether it’s 15 or 30, it’s going to be bad. And the odd thing is: I love her for it.Now back to the seven inch strap. It does indeed cover both cheeks at the same time — yet, bit my tongue and hush my mouth to save my rear-end — eight inches would cover better. Nevertheless, it still does a marvelous job and is deserving of five stars. However, “love it” is not quite the word I would use to express it. Kathy loves it; I find it has a most effective stroke for my fanny.One final note: Paddlings don’t have to be for domination. Kathy likes for me to take leadership and make initial decisions; she respects me as a man. But once I tell her something like, I want to get better playing the guitar — boy, I better start practicing.
