As my sexual repertoire expands, I find myself doing things I never thought I would be willing to do. Spanking|Reviews: Naughty Spanking Stories from A to Z is one of those things. For most of my sexual years, I never understood the point of spanking a person that you care about (or at the very least enjoy) for sexual purposes. That is, until I tried it.

My first experiences with spanking|BDSM guide: Spanking and Flogging were with hands and occasionally a belt. The belt, while it stings a bit at first, offers very little sensation otherwise. My Love could spank me for hours before his hands got sore, but when asked to return the favor, I could not spank him hard enough with my tiny little hands. So, my Love and I searched for a paddle to suit our needs.

We found it with the O-Spank Her|Round "O" spank-her. I had read up a bit on what people look for in paddles. I knew that it needed to have a slightly wider/longer grip to accommodate my Love's larger hands. I knew that it needed to be hard, yet flexible. The O-Spank Her provided these minimal features. Once I received it, I found out that it has so many more features.

The O-Spank Her was larger than I thought it might be, yet it was light. It also features two different textured sides. One side is smooth leather. The other is rougher suede. The holes cut into the paddle are not only decorative, but also help to reduce air resistance.

My Love was the first to experience the bite of the paddle. It fit well in my tiny hand, and it allowed me to give him first strikes without hurting my hands and with a great sense of control. The leather side provided a satisfying smack while the suede side gave a resounding thud. He seemed to prefer the leather over the suede. His ass grew bright in a few strikes while he slipped into a state of euphoria. One of the other benefits that I found with this paddle is that you can control whether or not you want bruising or marks. A nice square strike will leave the ass red, but it will not leave any welts that can result in bruising. However, if you put a little English on it, you certainly can get some very attractive marks.

When it was my turn to offer my ass to the O-Spank Her, my Love loved that he could easily grip the wide handle. He alternated sides on my ass, and I loved that I couldn’t anticipate what sensation would come next. By the end of the session, I was dripping down my thighs with a bright warm ass. I had lovely bruises the next day in the pattern of the holes, and for days I enjoyed the memory of the session when I touched the bruises later.

The O-Spank Her paddle would be a good fit for anyone looking for a paddle to prevent sore hands. It offers good control and variable textures. It fits well in small hands as well as larger hands. And, let’s not forget that it appeals to aesthetic sensibilities. It is just downright pretty. And, for the price point, I would say that it is crafted well. I give the O-Spank Her paddle four stars. She will become a regular in our spanking sessions from now on.

I still enjoy my Round &quot;O&quot;. As my first <em>spanking toy</em>, it holds a special place in my heart for that reason alone. It is an excellent implement for warming up the ass for a <em>longer spanking session</em>,&nbsp; especially for items that might have a bit more bite. It also is wonderful for those days when you just want a spanking, but can't risk having marks left behind, such as the day before a doctor's appointment.
