Before receiving the fresh pink and blue paddle in the mail, I'd never been spanked with anything other than my husband's hand. So my first experience with being seriously spanked was definitely uncharted territory. After some kissing, I laid face down across my husband's lap to get my punishment.

The thing I liked the most about using the paddle was the creativity it inspired in my husband. With the paddle in his hand, there was no question what kind of night we were going to have.

He wove a whole fantasy around spanking me, asking me questions and punishing me when I didn't get the answer right. He also alternated how he used the paddle, sometimes softly trailing the edge of it across my skin or tickling me with the string.

My position across his lap was a good one. Sometimes, instead of using the paddle, he used his fingers on my clit. That made for a nice combination of pleasure and pain.

The fresh pink and blue paddle is made out of a polyethylene material, which reminds me of vinyl, so it does sting. And the core is strong and stiff. This product is the real deal; it definitely left red marks on my skin. In fact, for a beginner like me, it was a little too serious at times.

It certainly is pretty, with pretty pink and blue material and a flower ornament. It doesn't at all look threatening like I might have assumed a flogging paddle would be.

Overall, I liked the fresh pink and blue paddle. It added a new dimension to our sex life that was a lot of fun.

If you are looking for a way to introduce dominance into your relationship, this is a great way to do it. Whether you are looking for a little zest or a lot, this paddle can handle the job.
