Spartacus leather whip - whip discontinued by Spartacus - review by Betty Rocket

In the endless search for the perfect whip to add to our growing BDSM collection, I chose to review Spartacus' basic leather whip|Leather whip.

Throwing off the old "cat of nine tails," I chose this fourteen tail cutie that measures 20 inches in length. Upon my first handling of it, I was less than impressed with the texture of the leather. Very coarse and very unforgiving. No flexibility to it at all. Despite the "crustiness" of it, it felt as flimsy as the ten dollar jobs you can buy at your local adult book store.

As my faithful readers know, aesthetics are very important to me. This was FAR from the beautiful dungeon accessory I would pay for. It is very cheap in appearance. Painted red leather. Betty was less than impressed. It also had an "off" smell, no real leather I could detect. Being a full on leather fetishist, the smell is 50% of the fun. Buzzkill. Total Buzzkill.

However, initial impressions can be deceiving, so I handed this "oogly" whip to DJ and told him to thrash me into a squirming mess.

Sigh, no such luck.

BEWARE: There is NO discernable gentleness to this whip as indicated in the description. If you are the type that is into REAL torture from jump street, than I recommend this toy with every laceration on my ass. HOWEVER, if you are a sub that enjoys gradual pain and punishment|Spanking and Flogging, this whip is not appropriate for you.

The very first lick DJ gave me rendered my sexual organs incapable of even the tiniest bit of pleasure. I gave him the word, and he eased off, but the damage was done. We had reached an impasse at the very opening seconds of the scene.

All in all, this review was a huge FAIL. I gave it a shot, and can firmly state that this item will collect dust at the bottom of my toy bag until I come across the right pain junkie to pass it on to.
