…OK – an anorak test – Did you know that anorak used not to be an acceptable word in Scrabble as it was listed as a foreign word? So now I’ve proved I too am an anorak in the current meaning of the word, what’s this about canes?! And where do the anoraks come into it?
If your fantasy is caning an anorak-clad woman while wearing your favourite sensible jacket I must apologise for misleading you and letting you down. I want to talk about canes and gently tease those who get a bit precious about their equipment (moving on hastily and doing my best to resist an obvious double entendre…).
When I had my first spanking relationship, I saw myself as a softie and fantasised about canes, but I did start to wonder about the ‘real thing’. I was too nervous to buy a real cane, so like many, started off with a garden cane. As I’d read stuff on spanking sites, I did know this wasn’t recommended. I was sensible, but private and wanted to start somewhere. I told my then partner he had to read up on caning before he tried it and he did. We knew that garden canes may break (which is why ‘proper’ canes, usually made of rattan are recommended) but as we were only just experimenting, he wasn’t planning on using tremendous force.
We found the right levels for us and it was all terribly exciting and did me no lasting damage. We both found something very thrilling and erotic about the cane. I then felt courageous enough to buy my first cane – from Ann Summers! Now I know people can be very sniffy about buying stuff from non-specialists, but it was a terribly exciting first step. He then bought a second, slightly heavier cane from the wonderfully named ‘Little Amsterdam’! Sadly this fabled emporium of soft drug and sex paraphernalia no longer graces the streets of that famous Amsterdam of Wales – Neath!
I couldn’t resist joining in serious noticeboard discussions on real canes and a maker and purveyor of ‘the real thing’ did explain to me at length that mine were probably made of rattan and there were hundereds of types of rattan. If you want more of the techie stuff, others are better qualified than me to provide it.
Sadly, my A.S cane did break, but being enterprising, my other half simply cut it down so we had a cane that could be used at closer quarters rather effectively.While I think safety and common sense are important, I don’t think one needs a safety certificate to smack a bottom! So my advice is play safe and have fun, but don’t feel you have to attend a masterclass before you can experiment. On the other hand, if you do fancy a masterclass fetish fairs and events can oblige.
Of course times have changed. I was considering buying some new lingerie and visited Love Honey on line – and couldn’t resist a peek at spanking implements. And then I saw the ads from Amazon who in their march to world domination decided to show me some canes, whips and a very interesting strap – Apparently I could use these for training my horse or in the bedroom!
