Wierd request : a Kangaroo Leather Bullwhip

4 January 2009 | lobster

I have a friend from America visiting and she was asked by a friend to buy:

A Kangaroo Leather Bull Whip

-6 or 7 foot (can be as short as 5 foot)

– 12 plait ( a must)

Have been to the leather place in Gold Creek and they only had 8 plait whips.

Sex shops have no luck either!

Anyone know of a place around Canberra… Or even between Canberra and Sydney?

[ED – Any excuse to trawl the sex shops eh?]

I wonder if you still need velcro gloves with a blow up sheep?

But back on topic, US quarantine/customs won’t like it, but if they were to post it to themselves it would probably arrive with no problems.

By the way, I am not a BDSM scene person.
I just had an educational time during my uni years (but don’t have a degree 🙁 ), discovered that a few friends were, and they were able to answer the more pressing questions of “What is this called, and what does it do?” when exploring Fyshwick and Sexpo.

And blow-up sheep and the like are a useful 18th birthday prop, but certainly not what I meant by ‘animal stuff’.

Ew, I so did not need to know that, SheepGroper!!

*bleah*

Anyone walking into a sex-shop asking for a bullwhip would probably be given the same polite “No, I don’t think we can help you.” as people asking for the animal stuff.

No, that doesn’t answer anything at all, despite me having a decent look at the site.

I suspect you utah don’t know either, so please, enlighten us viewers with the facts rather than just making a vague reference to a site that sells them.

I think they’ve asked for a whip with the same specifications as Indiana Jones’ whip, because they want a whip like Indiana Jones’ whip. I don’t think they care (or know) what the difference in plaiting is; they’re just hoping to pick one up here that’s cheaper than the US, because kangaroo skin is cheaper here.

I’ve typed those last two sentences very slowly; let me know if that helps you understand. I can probably type them louder if you think it will help.

Personally, this thread is almost hilarious, due to the whole sending-people-hunting-for-a-bullwhip-in-a-sex-shop thing.

Scene equipment tends to be stimulating-to-the-point-of-being-painful when used appropriately, but less about goring the players to the point of bleeding and just hurting them how they want to be hurt.

Those things might not look like they do much to start with, but striking the same area over and over will eventually stimulate the nerve endings to the point of considerable pain.
Some people like that kind of thing, so they apparently sell quite a few of them.

For those into punishment and more brutal stimulation, your BDSM players might revert back to either slapping with something similar to a flexible ruler, or the more familiar riding crop.
The fact that its relatively light means that it isn’t moving all that fast when it impacts (compared to say, a bullwhip breaking the sound barrier).
Still, that it ends in a soft leather paddle is a pretty clear sign its not intended to be used to give any lashes, just a slap.
Even the idea of using a dressage whip seems to be offensive to scene players…

I imagine that telling most scene people that you’d be using a seven-foot long bullwhip at any point would immediately put you well out of safeword territory.

Anyone walking into a sex-shop asking for a bullwhip would probably be given the same polite “No, I don’t think we can help you.” as people asking for the animal stuff.

Fascinating! I didn’t realise the humble pizzle had so many uses. Looks like the pizzle truncheon would be the go ….

I nearly bought one myself but the Wombat scrotum choker and Gecko skinned chaps with the butcheeks cut out won in the end.

That’s not complete without the pizzle walking stick. I wonder if it’ll get past the customs sniffer dogs?

Yes, I’m actually kind of disappointed that it’s only 12 feet, but what can you do?
