This was gifted to me a few years ago as a gag gift from one of my close friends who knew my "desires". It was on show for quite some time next to the fuzzy handcuffs and crotch-less panties hanging from my ceiling fan just for fun and giggles. Eventually, I started dating someone whom I was comfortable with, and we explored my submissive side together. I was excited because I had wanted to actually use the whip and finally had a chance too. However, it was at that point that I was slightly disappointed with this gift. This was better as a decorative piece for my guest to see than for play time in the bedroom.

I guess when you think about whips and such, you think about pain. This, in my opinion, is great whip for beginners, maybe not the best for someone who is expecting actual pain. I believe this is more for illusion. I remember being nervous that it would hurt. I laugh now thinking back to that moment of cringing. It doesn't even sting. It's a different feeling, nothing like other whips I have bought.

With that being said, it was absolutely worth the price. It's been over 4 years that I have owned this whip and it is still in great condition. We use it on our low key nights. I recommend being restrained and then having someone whip you with it. That always excites me more than anything else. I am a firm believer that every household needs a few whips, crops, paddles, etc. in their collection.

Sadly, it is just a whip, and there is just nothing special and not enough "oomph" behind it. I have to admit, thought, it is a great decorative piece. I would look into a flogger instead of this whip.
