When I removed the Heart Beat Paddle by Ruff Doggie Styles from the depths of a mailing box, it appeared to be as stunning as it was stylish. I held the flogging paddle firmly in my dominant hand and gave it a swing in the vacant air in front of me; just to see how it felt.

Then, I proceeded to slap my bare thigh with the pink, padded leather side and a second time with the unpadded side. The Heart beat paddle felt pleasant no matter what side I used, but I'd have to admit that the padded side was kinder to my bare skin from close range. The sting was an enjoyable, long lasting kind. I was also able to grip the handle firmly, as one would grip a ping pong paddle, perhaps. Maybe it could also function efficiently as such. Prior to sex, it could be used in a game to determine who would be receiving the punishment; loser gets a spanking. No? Just a thought.

When I first ventured into bed with the paddle, it (quite frankly) provided an excellent flogging. My partner found several unique ways to tease me with the Heart Beat Paddle. I really enjoyed it when she rubbed the textured leather on my skin, especially when it was done in a delicate manner. This sent chills down my spine and covered my entire body with goose bumps.

Compared to flogging devices I've tried in the past, this one certainly reigns supreme. My favorite feature would have to be the two separate textures, which gave me an option when using this paddle. I am also partial to the heart shape, and as I had mentioned before, it is very chic for a bdsm sex toy. It also fits in nicely with my heart-shaped crop. Who knew something so adorable could be completely suitable for inflicting pain at the same time? The folks at Ruff Doggie Styles have managed to create a perfect blend of both pain and pleasure with the Heart Beat Paddle.
