Curious About a Paddle with Holes.

One of the most intriguing stories on LSF is Tyr's Preparing the Paddle. I was especially wondering about his description of the effect of the holes in the paddle. The mother in the story told her son as he was making the paddle that the holes not only allowed the spanker to strike harder, but would also leave welts on the buttocks, and since the paddle would not strike exactly in the same place each time, the solid surface would then strike the welts raised by previous licks, which said produced an interesting effect. As i have never been spanked by a paddle with holes, I was wondering if anyone on this board who has been spanked with such an implement would care to share their experience with me on this board. Not just about the solid surface striking where welts had been left by the holes, but anything about the experience you would care to share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for reading my story. I've used many paddles with holes and it leaves a puckering welt. Especially as a last very hard hit. I have a friend who makes toys that use steel in various shapes so that the target is branded. He made one shaped like a horseshoe that left two impressions for the sub to be paraded around and shown like she was branded.
I have a stainless steel paddle that's very cruel. You have to be carefully as deep bruising is both stupid and dangerous, but it leaves a very big impression. I only have to touch it going through my bag to scare my sub. Fear is very sexy. I only really use it about once a year.

Thanks for your prompt response to my post. Yes I have read, and reread Preparing the Paddle. It's on my list of favorites. I left a comment on the story, but am happy to have the opportunity to praise it again. I've thought about buying a lexan paddle with holes, but just from your description, I wouldn't want to be spanked with a stainless steel paddle. I don't blame your sub for being scared if you just touch it. I'm reminded of a story a man who grew up on the farm next to mine told me. When he was a little boy, His mother had given him a bath, and put clean clothes on him. Then she allowed him to pay outside while she got cleaned up as they were going to go somewhere. She came out to find him playing in a mud.hole. In his own words, "My kind sweet gentle Mama got her a switch and turned into a wild woman." He added that to this day, he gets nervous if his mother gets too close to a hickory tree.

Metal paddles? Really?

Also an aluminum cane. You can use any toy Safe, Sane and Consensual. You adjust the velocity, but it gives great thud over sting. It's like you can do over five hundred cane strokes with a drumming technique and only leave red. ( That's approximately, who counts. )

I've never been on either end of a paddle with holes, but I have written about them. I don't claim to be an expert. If I am wrong, someone can correct me. But as I understand it, there are two ways the holes work to make it a more severe instrument. If you bring two flat surfaces together at high speed, they will slow just before making contact because of the cushion of air between them. (Consider how an air cushion holds up a hovercraft.) The two surfaces cannot make contact until the air between them escapes around the edges. Holes decrease the wind resistance and allow for the paddle to be swung faster, and more importantly, allow more places for the air to escape more quickly as the paddle meets flesh. So there is less of an air cushion to slow it down, and it strikes at higher speed.
The second effect is caused by the edges. Where the paddle strikes, the flesh under it is pushed down rapidly, stretching the skin between the flesh under the paddle and the flesh outside the area which is struck, making the welt around the edge. With holes in the paddle, the circumference of each hole is another edge which rubs and painfully stretches the skin.
So, though I have no personal experience, I can well imagine how it would be more painful.

I would never use such a cruel damaging instrument on anyone. You need to rethink

Just because it is capable of doing that much damage doesn't mean it has to be used at full force. It may provide a punishment equivalent to a paddle without holes but with less effort. It also depends on the thickness and material the paddle is made from. And removing some of the material by cutting holes in it gives it less mass. A thick solid wood paddle without holes can do a lot of damage (deep bruising). On the other hand, a thin plastic paddle with holes can provide a lot of surface sting without the deep bruising.
As with any instrument of punishment, it should be used with calculated force to provide a level of pain appropriate to the offense or if playing, the level at which the spanker and spankee agree on for their satisfaction.

No, no one has to rethink. In a library that includes switches, canes, birches, floggers etc there has been nothing mentioned in this thread that is too cruel or damaging. As long as everything is consensual, then who cares marks last for days?

Okay, the people playing with those instrument care, which is why they are playing with those instruments. If they didn't want those results then they wouldn't play with things that leave marks.

To quote the Wisdom of a 80s Sitcom:
Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
...
But they got, Diff'rent Strokes. It takes,
Diff'rent Strokes. It takes,
Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.


Edited to add:
There has got to be a way to write a good spanking parody of that song. Strokes, Jeans, with words like that there has got to be a parody waiting there,

I've been spanked with a paddle with holes. I honestly didn't find the feel that much different to a solid paddle, but I could imagine that you could make it a good deal more painful if the person swinging it wanted to.
