Crystal Jordan sent me a very interesting link – an interactive ad demonstrating how the Mini Cooper can whipslap winter, using a pleather-clad woman whipping, stroking, and otherwise dominating a very sport blue Mini.
So: those in the BDSM world – is her whipping technique at all accurate? Or is she faking it?
Faking it. I’ll pontificate in detail after children go to bed, when I can watch the damn thing again (I saw it years ago).
Definitely faking it. Although, someone did teach her how to handle that whip without taking out an eye which is something at least.
Okay, completely faking it. One doesn’t actually use a bull whip (without a shit load of experience). One certainly doesn’t let one’s whipcrack drag on the ground like that—makes me shudder! And she doesn’t know shit about that flogger, either.
Tell me! The first time I used a bullwhip on a person, which I was so not ready to do, I cut the guy. He didn’t mind it much, but it definitely was not what I’d intended. I didn’t handle one again for a really long time and to this day I’m not that comfortable with the thought of using it on a person.
I’ve used 3-4 foot single-tails, but I’ve seen those cut people up (consensually) so they scare the shit out of me and I’m all about practice practice practice with them. So that bullwhip she’s got going is just ridiculous. I can’t imagine the damage it would do. Especially after being dragged around on the ground!
Oh, definitely faking it. I’m with Professor Awesome Frantz on that one.
This is another example of something I mentioned in a blog post of mine a while back. BDSM seems to be popping up all over the mainstream these days.
She’s had just enough instruction to throw a trick strike, one that’s far more akin to what you learn via rodeo tricks and circus techniques than BDSM realism.

I’m still waiting for a BDSM Romance cover showing a guy with actual whip marks on his back. Sorta mantitty reverse.
Saw one cover the other day and figured that would eventually show up as the next crossing the boundary graphic style.
Using A Different Light as trend forecasting.
Completely fake. She knows how to, basically, use a whip, but not in a dominating or BDSM situation.
