The Tools of the Trade, Respect them.

Leather, chains, paddles, canes, ropes, floggers, whips, candles, blades and even electric wands. These are but some of the many tools that are available to use on our lovely submissives. So what are the requirements needed in order to use said tools. A license,a group of our peers signing a bill allowing the use? Nope, usually it's just obtaining the funds and whatever you plan on doing not being outside your submissive's hard limit.

But wait...in a perfect world all submissives are honest about their hard limits and since the rivers aren't flowing with gold it's obviously not a perfect world. So it would do some good to make sure your sub isn't grandstanding. In this imperfect beautiful world, the same tools that professionally trained dominants use to create such delicious agony can be put in the hands of (dramatic pause) someone who has no clue how to use them. You can gasp now.

So now wait a moment people say. You are being unfair they say. Everyone starts out not having a clue how to use our tools and everyone has a moment where they whacked themselves in the head with. (I'll stop for a moment so the reader can flashback....and done) My point is there are two types.

There are those who eventually learn how to use them right through practice, getting shown the proper usage (Thank you mentor doms) or just getting tired of hitting themselves in the head (sigh). And sadly, there are those who just believe that they can pick up a bullwhip and use it to perfection the first time. Please don't laugh at them.

Remember the tools we use are designed to hurt people in a whole multitude of ways. Respect what you work with, learn how to keep them clean and working at one hundred percent. That way any pain you cause is because you wanted to cause it. After all it's all fun and games until someone loses a nipple.
