Valentine's Day

I've been writing a BDSM For Beginner's post and also real time workshop notes about birching.

Birching is a form of play that rarely gets mentioned in the 21st century, which is strange because it's very eco friendly (for those of us kinksters interested in being green) and it's also very very hot. I grew up reading 19th century porn featuring birching scenes ... I remember fantasizing about owning a birch wrapped with velvet ribbon, for some reason that really pushed all my buttons. So some time back I decided to start researching the subject. I also discovered the fact other people were interested in learning more. Thus, the BDSM For Beginner's post and the workshop.

Part of my recent research has been trying different materials to use for birching, because birch itself can be quite hard to locate in Australia. In New South Wales, a trip to the Blue Mountains or to places like Armidale, high on the Great Dividing Range, results in fresh birch twigs, for those of us keen on this form of play. But back to my current experiment with other materials...

You can see hanging up in the photo below a birch made of palm fronds (far right) and a birch made of willow (center), which is commonly used overseas for play:


I'll put the post about birching up soon, as well as details about the next birching workshop in Sydney. But today's post is about trying out the willow birch.

I talk more about how I actually made this in the birching post, but to give a brief recap it's made of dried willow purchased from Ikea, cut in half and tied with soft cotton rope, to create a handle:


In the birching workshop everyone will get to make, and take home, one of these implements.

Now it was time to see how it worked. I'm not usually one to dress up and act out scenes but birching as a technique just cries out for a little role play. This scene I had my hair in a severe bun, and wore a tight black skirt and white shirt, my black high heels clicking across the floor ...

I then dressed sol in his little school girl skirt and short cardigan, with matching black bra and g string:


I brushed sol's hair into a ponytail, then added his Xmas hair clips to his hair:


After a few minutes massaging my feet and kissing my toes, I upended sol over the bed. I raised his skirt with the birch rods:


I applied the birch lightly at first.

Like caning / switching the blood quickly came up under the surface of the skin. The rough branches produced a nasty sting and a speckled effect on the skin:


It was a new birch and took a while to settle in my hand, the branches gently rotating a little until each was in the perfect place for maximum damage.

Once it did, I picked up the pace, with bits of twigs flying everywhere:


The end result was wonderfully mottled from the branches:


I played with sol's balls for a while, then moved on to my two favorite canes:


Afterwards I had sol lie down on the bed and removed his chastity device:


I allowed him to masturbate while I played with his nipples, then I poured some lube into his hands so that he could continue masturbating while I dragged his balls away from his body with my fingernails. He came quite quickly (but with permission, of course) and copiously:


"Well ... that was successful!" said sol, as we both lay there, happy and exhausted. I had to agree.

A very successful bit of research / experimentation! We'd definitely be using the willow birch again soon.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" I replied.
