Have $800. Need Water Buffalo.

I was playing on the internet one day and I found this: Water Buffalo Mount from a wild water buffalo. This water buffalo mount will have natural imperfections customarily found on all wild animals. $800.



I have a few thoughts:

1. Good God! Water buffalo are massive.

2. How did this animal meet its end?  The company says the animal parts it sells are by-products of agriculture or government culling programs.

3. Even though the animal had to die, the taxidermist did it justice.  It looks great, unlike this poor creature.

4. All the mounts in restaurants like Longhorn Steaks and Bugaboo Creek must be picked up at a warehouse like this.

5. Do I have room in my house?

A Gentlemanly Flogger

My flogging from a couple weeks ago went well. The Flogger likes a different kind of play, though, so it's doubtful we will play again. There are benefits to playing with people who have been around a while, like the ease and directness of communication. He also knew exactly what he was doing, down to a straw for my water bottle so I could drink without letting go of the St. Andrew's Cross. When I write him back I'll tell him he is quite a gentleman.

================================

Dear Flogger,

Thanks for my first flogging. I am interested in playing again if you feel the same way.

A couple hours later my back looked like nothing had happened, so marks were not a problem. I liked the slow build up, but once warmed up I can take more, but I'd like more intense thuddy type stuff.  Towards the very end I almost signaled to stop, but you backed off whatever it was you were doing. Was that the single tail/flogger hybrid? At this point intense stingy sensations are too painful, and I am in no way ready for a visit from a single tail whip.

There were two things that I did not like, but they are easily solvable. I enjoyed and appreciated the aftercare, but the thick blanket combined with the heat of the club was miserable.  I could bring a lighter blanket. Also if you would like to play again, I would like the hits scattered around the back of my body (including ass) rather that just the shoulders.

Let me know what you think,
UTP

Hi UTP
 
Sorry for the delay in replying.
 
I intentionally didn't want to go too hard because it is much easier on your body to ask for more next time, than to ask for less. That may have been the cat o'nines that was stingy. I wanted to give it a try and see how you responded. I saw your hand move slightly, so I stopped.
 
We talked about being able to hit your ass, but it was last minute and I didn't want to change what we had negotiated at the spur of the moment. Combine that with avoiding the kidney area, it didn't leave a lot of alternatives.
 
I'm honored you want to play again. My play tends to be a bit more sexual, e.g., using floggers on breats, playing with nipples, and flogging inside the thighs. Obviously, that is not something you are interested in doing. We should talk in person one evening and see if there is common ground.

That Time of the Month

I must be on the verge of ovulating, because all my guy friends at work were looking really good to me today. As in close the door and take off your pants good.

Young lady and birdcages by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums

In this image we can see a young lady stood on the steps of a traditional style wooden caravan. She's tending to a parrot in one of the birdcages.


The images have been selected from the Arthur J Fenwick collection of circus material.
Arthur James Fenwick (1878-1957) was a director of Fenwick's Department Store. In his personal life he was extremely interested in fairs and circuses, collecting historical material about them and building personal relationships with showmen who visited Newcastle. He was made a life member of the Showmen's Guild in 1944.

Enviro Tip

The other night, I put thin strips of left over chicken on a plate and used the plate as a lid for a pot of rice.  It's a small thing, but I heated my chicken using only steam from the rice.  I think that's kind of cool.


Finally a Flogging

At the local BDSM club, I talked with a couple who are on the board of  local BDSM educational group, asking if they received my membership renewal since I hadn't yet received my membership card.  I chatted a bit with the wife, and we discussed how I had been having a hard time finding people to play with at the club.  Most scenes are negotiated online. They may change the script at the D101 nights to reflect this. She asked her husband if he'd like to do a flogging scene with me, and he said he was too tired. Oh well.

The following week, the organization sent me a letter regarding my membership, and this was inside the envelope:



It will be interesting playing with someone much older with much more experience. By interesting I mean I will be nervous and a little uncomfortable.  The uncomfortable is instinctual - everything you learn about being a woman and keeping yourself safe.  It will be in public, I know he will respect my limits, and I'll hopefully have a friend there keeping an eye out.  There will be no restraints, so I'll just walk away if I need to.  But still I'm nervous. Frontal lobe:  please control the lizard brain.  Thanks.

Also, he is a nice looking guy, but I'm not attracted to him. The thought of him touching me in any kind of a sexual way is gross.

The negotiations to date:
