Guide to this blog

The Blogroll is now in three parts. The main part is arranged according to the date the blog was last updated with the most recent first. Many blogs use the BDSMLR platform which does not include date information; they are in a separate Blogroll arranged alphabetically but I check from time to time and remove any that have been permanently closed. The final part is a list of interesting Twitter feeds - again in alphabetical order.

I'm still here!

Long time since I've posted but I'm still around - just very busy. However I couldn't resist pointing to some of the rather unusual punishment implements cropping up on eBay lately.



We're all (those of us who read these sorts of pages I mean) familiar with the idea of wooden paddles with holes in to reduce the air resistance and therefore increase the impact. But I can't recall ever seeing before a tawse given the same treatment. This one claims to be a genuine old punishment strap - I thought the "Made in Scotland" looked a bit suspect but it may well be genuine. I'd be interested if anyone has ever come across anything like this, especially anyone who's been on the receiving end. I imagine it would pack quite a sting. Also wonder if any modern-day makers have tried anything similar?
