As a sub, and, actually only recently having discovered floggers, I have to say they’re also my favorite form of impact/pain play, with Sir. Sir enjoys having control over me, being able to dominate, and have me submit, and release control to him; I’m more able to withstand ‘more’ from a flogger, so it lets me surrender more control, and submit more to him; Which tics boxes for both of us. Floggers are an entire sensual experience too; I love the smell (leather), the feel of it being gently trailed over my breasts, and skin, the little stingy short sharp ‘hits’, on my body, I adore multiple thuddy hits, on buttons, thighs,breasts, etc, and can I think probably be flogged, with the thuddy type, of hit, for longer than Sir would want to doso; but he’s in control of it, and as its so multiple in the affects a flogger cna induce, he can edge me towards subspace, with the thuddy ones, then ‘draw back’, with a few stingy hits, before returning to thuddy; or, of course, switching to a paddle, cane, etc. I adore the flogger too, used in warm up; being caressed with it, gradually building up severity of strikes, etc…
