As a junior in college, through a contact I made in a comparative religion course, I joined a pseudo-Crowleyian, pseudo-Gardnerian Wicca group. As part of the first degree initiation, the high priestess would whip a male candidate with the single-tail. Twenty-one lashes, in three sets of 7, for the number of the Goddess. The initiations, and all the meetings, were skyclad or naked. After the whipping, the high priestess would initiate a male candidate in the “Great Rite.” The high priest, who was subservient to the high priestess, would initiate a female candidate.

This was my introduction to whipping on the back and buttocks with a single-tail braided whip, which is really just a fancy name for a bull-whip. There is a pretty widespread use of the whip in these initiations though in most gtoups it’s purely symbolic. In this one it was not.

The charged sexual polarity was incredible. Still, whipping played no part in rituals outside of initiations. In fact, they would, I think, probably have been offended if one had called them a BDSM group. At the same time, the structure was classic. The high priestess ran the show, and the high priest was subservient to her. The high priest’s deputy, the maiden, was subservient to him, and dominant over junior male members. The high priestess’s deputy, the page, was subservient to her, as everyone was, and lorded it over junior female members.

At any rate, the single-tail can be an incredible experience. And yes, I think that a whipping on the back in the manner of one whose actual civil status is that of slave, sailor or criminal, divorced from cossetting, can add a special degradation.

Go to this web site. It is excellent for thoses wishing to learn or improve their skills on whipping the back.

I love to look at my femme’s back after I whip her. Short of like a painting.

My back is sensitive in a different way than my ass is.

I’ve had the blessing of having my back and ass done at the same time – by two skilled Doms. My Dom is defo an ass man but we have a skilled and very experienced Dom friend that we are comfortable playing with.

The combination of sensations (the back develops more of a warmth and the bottom greater sharpness) is one of the most erotic and holistic experiences I’ve ever had.

Let the purists resist… a back flogging for me is the mark of an especially lovely scene!

It’s not only the pain that excites me but the feeling of really being punished. After all this is a very traditional form of punishment.

At the moment I have to do self-punishments as Master is away. This is also very exciting but nothing like when he does it.
