So I'm into light kink. I think 50 Shades has really made kink more acceptable, but that's not what turned me onto kink. I consider the paddle to be a introductory type of toy. I think that to fully appreciate this toy you need to understand the terms used to speak dirty in some sense. If you can't appreciate the word "slut" then this toy is not for you. For some, it would be a vulgar term, but I like to own that word.

The impression doesn't really last, or show up for the most part. It's like you have to hit in the same exact place repeatedly, and even then we were staring and staring and finally like, "Oh I think that might be an S?"

So here's a thing I've never run into before: My new boyfriend and I had to have a talk about using the paddle because he feels uncomfortable using it. Still is, but I think he's warming up to the idea. He doesn't want to ever hit me, which you know isn't a bad thing. But when I want a good spank, it's upsetting.

But as for this toy, I'm unimpressed. I think that I wish the impression showed up like it does in the picture attached to the paddle. I think it's really hot to have around, and if you and your partner choose to use it that you'll get a lot of pleasure out of it if you like kink. It's probably a lot harder than the 50 Shades crowd might be expecting. It has some give, but it's still pretty hard in the right areas. I would start with the hand if you're just venturing into kink then move onto this paddle, and you'll want to start hitting pretty light and work your way up.
