I’m not exactly part of this way of life, so is there a reason you don’t include “hand”? ---

Man, you guys are weak. I use a claw hammer. PS. Extra subs wanted! PM me if interested. ---

If I was gonna start it would be the mandolin. I’d take out the blade though. ---

I like my sub spread across my lap, so the larger options are too unwieldy. For a crew oar, for example, you’d have to stand away from your sub and use both hands/arms to really swing. That’s why I limit my voting to smaller single hand items. > [@kunilou](#): > > is there a reason you don’t include “hand”? Pervert! I spank my _kids_ with that hand! Show a little class. ---

Too many things missing from this list. Hairbrush, rolled up magazine, belt, flogger, horse crop, broom handle, cat toys, stuffed squid (ooh tentacles see flogger), rolling pin, … ---

Depends on the sub. You’re there to control the scene, and part of that is knowing ahead of time what is really going to ‘do it’ for your sub. A school-type paddle might fulfill one type of fantasy, and a cello bow or bare hand completely different fantasies. ---

Not into the BDSM scene, but I chose conductor’s baton, mandolin, and cello bow because they amused me. 😛
