Yikes! For something with that kind of potential, being uncontrollable is a huge turnoff.

Not one I think I'm ready to try yet!

Great review, as always!

Luscious, it certainly is!

Sammi, thank you.

Hmm, I think I'll pass on this one. I don't want something difficult to get control with. Kind of ruins the point for me if I'm being dominant but can't control my weapon of choice, lol. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for enjoying it, AR.

I am thinking the length may be a bit off as far as control. Great review .. I am thinking this one is only for the brave and the crazy wee masochists out there hehe.

That's scary! I have heard that these sort of whips take a lot of time and practice, but it sounds like you are seasoned enough to know what you're doing. To not be in control like that does sound very terrifying.

Vanilla, the length was okay (not great but okay), it was just the curvature of the whip (it did not fall in a straight line) and the fact it wanted to go every which way because of how light it was.

Tiny, scary indeed.

Great review! I definitely need absolute control and I have to know that my partner has control when being used on me....pain yes but not torture. I cringed when reading your review.

I cringed when I wrote it! I see that this product is now discontinued so I wonder if there have been similiar experiences to the one I had to cause it to be so?

This looks to me like it's a hybrid of two different things, a singletail and a flogger, without quite being either.

Singletail whips are not actually designed for human to human use, at least not humane human to human use! They're designed to frighten large animals so as to drive them in one direction or another.

In BDSM, the crackers are generally used to strike the skin only in extreme play, as they will easily carve it up. IMHO, only experienced BDSM players should work with singletails, cause they can be quite dangerous, to all parties. Equally importantly, the singletail itself has to be well made, or you will get exactly the problem you have encountered here, that it will not go where you want it to.

Unfortunately, because well made singletails tend to be expensive, and because the idea of singletails is so strongly associated with BDSM (legacy of years of inaccurate representation), a market for cheap, badly made singletails has been created.

There are a couple of problems with that - one, that the items themselves are potentially dangerous, two, that they are marketed at BDSM newbies and the curious (exactly the people who shouldn't buy them!) and three, that the ensuing bad experience can turn people away from the huge and wonderful range of sensation play that is SM.

Just my two cents worth of raving!

Thanks for the comment, Bill!

I'm thinking this is the kind of toy that isn't useful unless you've practiced with it for a loooong time.

My roommie has a very loose singletail that she's managed to learn great control with through lots and lots of practice. She can pick the heads of off dandelions in our backyard with scary accuracy.
