Hey, first proper post on here so be gentle :) We bought a Sex & Mischief Faux Leather flogger (I did review it) and really enjoyed the flogging part, even if the flogger itself could be a bit nicer. Like you my OH really wanted to get one but is completely averse to pain but that worry was soon put to bed. Personnally I think the black is hotter than the red. Sort of shows its a bit serious and hence sexy as a result. You seem to be torn between wanting to be turned on by it being a bit scary/naughty or it being conventional pretty/sexy in colour?
Hey there! Firstly- hi, nice to meet you on the LH forums! I'm sure you'll love it here- its a really strong community here.
I remember looking over the Sex & Mischief floggers when I first started seriously searching for them, about a month ago- bloody hell, I got excited!!! I'd been TRUDGING through all these pages of other floggers, trying to figure out how long they were, etc (because the pictures tell you NOTHING- they give you NO indication of how large they are), and there you have it- a new range from Sex & Mischief, both a hell of a lot longer then most of the other floggers (lol, by now, I think you can see that's a major factor in what I'm after), but also some of the CHEAPEST available. Bloody hell wow- that red one, the rope flogger, went onto my newly formed 'must have favourites' wishlist immediatly- seemed too good to be true. I added the one that you've got, the faux leather one shortly after, though it's not quite the same image as what I'm going for, I thought it was worth adding it.
But yeah, one of my main concerns when I got round to thinking about it, and reviewing the major contenders was build quality, and quality of overall appearance. The S&M range looked like they had been given good-okay scores for quality, but I just wan't sure. Also- and I wonder what you think- the Bondage Boutique ones tend to have thinner tails, but there are a hell of a lot more of them. This is what I thought: I'm not actually sure how that would affect me in the real world, but it feels like the S&M whips might not be quite as 'meaty'.
As for colours- you understand me so well!!! And yeah, I think I agree. I really want something that 'feels' in place with the fantasy that I'm looking at- not really a specific fantasy, but its just a kink I'm leaning towards that I'm trying to match up- without knowing completely fully how it works, so I'm just guestimating, seeing how it feels inside me. But yeah, as 'hot and sexy' a vivid red is, for me its not about being playful in the traditional sence- it has to fit up with an idea in my head, and that mainly more hurt/comfort torture related. Which, er, is black!! (Too many really good TV serieses spending a good episode to put their favourite character through HELL! So many years ago, I ended up realising there was something to be noted as to why I was so interested watching those scenes. Blame it on the TV!!)
And, er, wow, if you got down to reading this far, congratulations! You've won yourself a prize! Crikey, sorry, I tend to talk/type a lot, I try and keep it to the point, but it always seems like I've got a lot to say! Please forgive me!! Thanks so much for telling me about the S&M flogger- I really am facinated to know, considering they were main contenders for so long.
