Flogging 101: Consensual Strikes

On October 20th The Meow University was able to explore more hands on technique based learning in the world of BDSM, Flogging. Our class was with the incredible Mistress Crimson, who is very thorough with safety & communication, equipment review, and partner aftercare.
If you missed this awesome class I can't tell you everything that happened except for a few tips to help you get started with flogging at home.

• Don't start a scene or session with drugs, liquor, intense negative emotions
  
• Make sure consent has been established from all parties involved
• Trust between partners
  
• Establish safe words
  
  

Who knew that sanity played a big part in sex. Most of the time wild sex and alcohol go together in most media. From my experience, what may have worked in youthful indiscretions just doesn't fly in adult lifestyles. What thrilled me at 25 barely raised an eyebrow for me at 35. That's when you know its time to take things to another level. When adding BDSM to your sexual lifestyle sobriety becomes important in your sessions to balance the chemicals your brain will produce from the excitement of heightened sensitivity from all of these new sensations. You don't need to add any uppers or downers to this. Case and point: How many times have you been drunk and underestimated your strength, over estimated the stairs, misjudged the placement of objects? Have you have ever drunk dialed someone?Be honest! None of these were ever good choices that led to intended results and you definitely don't want someone's life in your hands for a world of pleasure to be ruined by any miscalculation or lack of better judgment.

Crimson walked us through a demonstration to show us what a session with flogging would look like. She did a great job of explaining what we were looking at and techniques used pre and post flogging. Floggers of different materials were laid out as we learned the pleasure and damage each one could cause. I want to personally thank the brave men that were willing participants to help our kittens learn a few flogger handling, throw, and care techniques.

All of these new sensations definitely led to very interesting Q&A session: (I will share a few)

What are good techniques for flogging the buttocks?

• Use throws of the flog swinging left to right. Also the pull and snap works
  
  

Will gagging intensify the experience?

• You must come up with a safety gesture and check in often with your partner to make sure they are not choking.
  
  

 How do you introduce flogging to a clueless partner?

• Use books and movies. Consider your partners desires and boundaries. Write them a dirty letter expressing your wants or an email with a dirty clip.
  

Our classes in BDSM and other sexual lifestyles are designed for use in an individual's personal sex life not for professional training. What do you want to learn next?
