This toy was definitely designed
When I chose the "
Bitch Impressions Paddle" by Sportsheets, I imagined being spanked and having the humiliation of having the word "Bitch" covering my ass. Actually, I wanted the "slut" paddle, but my boyfriend wanted me to order "bitch". I'm a sub, so I don't argue with such demands.
I knew this was not a serious player's paddle, for the obvious reasons, but it proved to be a bit of fun. I think this is a paddle for either a
BDSM gag (no pun intended) gift, or for decoration in a play room.
My fantasy of being marked up with the word "bitch" did not come to fruition. It has nothing to do with the person wielding the paddle. My Dom/boyfriend packs a serious wallop, but the word "bitch" was not left on my tush. What was left was a lot of stingy welts. This was a minor disappointment, as that was something that was part of the amusement of ordering the item. I had imagined being made to wear a short skirt and the big red "bitch" welts covering my legs. He said it was a pretty easy paddle to manipulate, which is a definite plus in a paddle. Every time since we first played with it, I want to run and hide when he threatens to use it. So for a tiny novelty paddle, it is pretty painful. Still, there is something about this paddle that screams "poseur." It is not a very large paddle, the base covers about one average-sized ass cheek. The leather is pretty tough and does not have a lot of give. My lover did said it was pretty comfortable to use and it is not too hard to get an accurate hit. Overall, though, I would recommend that one invest their money in a more serious paddle unless they just want it for kicks.
Were you not hitting hard enough? I've heard of other's experiences with this and their being able to get the word to imprint on their body.
It's a shame this didn't leave the "Bitch" imprint on you. I guess it's a cute novelty gift, but the imprint seems to be the whole point of the toy. :(
