Go to Library (choice on the left side of the screen), and then click on The Art of Caning or Caning Styles.

What do you mean by detailed info? I think you need to be more detailed about the kind of info you want.

I can tell you that canes are made of rattan. A "cane" made of acrylic or any other material is referred to as a rod, not a cane. It's a very common mistake though, as people tend to call any long, hurty thing a cane. Also, I think that canes are one of the most misused tools by dominants. The vast majority use them as an implement of doom ("now bend over, girl, and I'm going to give you 10 of my best"...where is that eyeball rolling smiley when you need it?). A cane connoiseur knows that canes can be implements of extreme pain or they can be implements of pure pleasure, depending on how they are used. All I will say is that you haven't been caned until you've had a former drummer use your ass and back as a drum

If you type "sensual caning" into Google you'll get lots of links re: technique.

Thank you both! Thank you for the correction on the acrylic "rod" LOL i want to know how "bad" are they, how much they hurt, what level of pain are they in, what can i compare it too. What sort of markings do they leave? What i want to know NOW, is how painful can they GET? And why did my butt go numbish last night LOL. (which is really quite pleasant if you think about it!) Where should the it "NOT" fall? From what i know that i learned way back when, is the spine, and the kidneys.

As for pleasure.. from a cane... well

and as for a drummer.. well they can leave one not able to resist moving out the way LOL

Master is someone that frequently gives lectures on the art of caning. It's amazing to watch the difference in how he uses it and how 90% of the Tops use it. A cane is a slow tool. Strike and let it sink it, but many just pound away at the subject. Sensation wise, I would describe it sting followed by slow fire.

Master makes a carbon fiber "cane" which is amazingly stingy. He likes those because they're very hard to break. Never use Bamboo because it can easily splinter. With Rattan the trick is not to let it dry out. Dry Rattan can break and crack and splintered canes should be thrown out immediately. I'm sure picking slivers if rattan out of your butt is not considered a romantic moment.

The level of pain inflicted will be dependent on the person using the cane and the force/technique used.

I can still lay twelve strokes of the cane across your bare botton as you bend over, one cane's width seperating each application resulting in twelve marks equidistant apart. the marks may range from a basic red mark from a gentler canning through twelve welts to twelve bright red marks with some blood oozing. Like using a strap, I can treat the cane with vinegar to increase the pain. (Straps can be soaked in vinegar)

How 'bad' they are depends on how they are used and the thickness of the cane. I know, not what you wanted to hear, right? LOL

Thinner canes are more 'whippy' and flexible and give a different sensation than one that is thicker and more rigid. As OsideGirl said, it is (or should be) a slow tool. Several strikes is quick succession will result in a very quick cascading of sensation that will result in sensory overload (not necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't take much to make it happen). To me a hard cane strike has different layers of sensation. First you feel the impact, but that's not really so bad. Within a second or two I can then feel the pain spread like fire. It spreads both along the area of impact but it also penetrates deep into the muscle. Depending on the type of cane (thin and whippy or thicker and rigid) it may penetrate more (oww, oww, oww, yum!) or less. I find thinner canes give much more of a stinging sensation.

Canes can also be used in a sensual way to impart a very wide variety of sensations from taps to mild stings to vibrations. They can be used in this manner on breasts, cocks, balls, pussies, you name it. You're not limited to just the back and ass (mind you a really good workout on your back feels like a nice, deep tissue massage and is very relaxing).

A friend of mine makes his own canes. He buys rattan and peels it himself. Apparently unpeeled rattan is more likely to splinter. He also does not recommend bamboo. He then uses one of two processes to cure them - he soaks them in either linseed oil (messy!) or in a salt brine (basically pickles them, much less messy). Then he finishes them with some sort of wax. I rather like the salt cured canes myself.

I love any kind of caning...I have many and the notion that canes always leave marks, well I guess that is the art...Canes in the right hands to swing them, do not have to leave any marks at all.
Learn how to use your canes on a willing slave Although.. I do like leaving at least one that they can look at and remember that moment.<Evil Grin>

A cane is definitely something that should be felt to be understood. I'm a proponent of experiencing different sensations before exposing others to them. I know a lot of people disagree with that concept. Maybe they feel it's beneath them or they're cowards in the face of pain, either way, I don't understand how a top can be truly in control without knowing what sensation his actions are producing. I'd bet good money that any top who doesn't understand the rhythm of a cane has never felt one.
