I've contacted Pandora by email and will look into getting a quirt directly from, well, a man who seems to know how to use one! David SpankBoss and Pandora,

It's rarely cheap -- quality hand-made goods never are -- but it's a grand way to obtain <i>treasures</i> rather than mere possessions. Pandora, I'm glad you understood my teasing tone -- despite my list of dire unmentioned catastrophes, I was sharply aware that your excuses for the repeated delays might have been very good indeed, but left unmentioned for reasons of privacy, irrelevancy, or boringness.

The ironic thing is that I would describe myself as anal-about-planning, but on this occasion my plans were thrown out of the window fairly early on in the process. I appreciate that you're only teasing and your comment did make me giggle, BUT .... in my defence ... The full tale involves a spanking shoot that was meant to finish at 3pm and went on until past 7pm, and exhaustion when I got home which threatened to cancel the entire evening, not merely make me late. The series of postponements weren't so much a change of plan each time as an initial "I'm sorry, my shoot ran on and I need some time to rest before I can start to get ready; I'll keep you updated". My date responded to this with sympathy and understanding, and just asked me to let him know how I was doing. So I kept him updated, and I kept mis-judging my tiredness levels such that my estimates about how long things would take were off, although I tried quite hard not to make firm estimates when I knew that everything was flexible at this stage. I don't consider myself to have misbehaved in changing the original plan to get ready together - and neither did my date. Failing to update him at the crucial, final moment, however, was entirely my fault and I'm glad he didn't let me get away with it. :) David - the picture of the quirt I posted in the linked entry was made by the gentleman who used it on me that evening. He makes them for private commission - would you like me to put you in touch? I can highly recommend his work! :) Spankboss – Ha!

I am afraid I don't have any experience with quirts, and I don't own one myself. I shouldn't worry about the "designed for horses" element; all the best whips were designed for livestock of one kind or another. Take a simple riding crop -- designed to deliver a painless "hello, ya daft thousand-pound-beastie, stop grazing and don't forget you've got a fragile monkey on yer back" message to a thick-skinned, hair-covered horse, it's perfect for delivering a more intense communication to bare tender female human skin. Like any other leather toy, you're always better off if you can find a source where you can handle the goods before purchase; but, failing that, you've got to be willing to buy experimentally online, and accept that you'll get a few expensive things in the mail that just won't work for you before you get a toy that you love to use. And the expense of that approach can be daunting. However, I've seen quirts for sale in western stores and farm supply type places; and if you're too urban to have those, you're probably within striking distance of a good leather fetish shop, or one of the annual kinky conventions/shows where all the vendors show up. The leatherworking tent at your local Rennaisance Faire can also have some surprisingly kinky items. Amish country stores are also good. Be creative in your shopping!

I saw lots on eBay, but they seemed designed for horses. Are those the best ones for spanking/whipping?
