ORIGINAL: nella I agree, so we dont, not yet, but he want to train for it, and i anyway need to train up pain tolerance for it, or at least endurance. If he wants to train for it, fine, wonderful, but that whip should never be aimed at your body until he's been trainign with it for a while, and already has some measure of skill when it comes to aiming and how much energy is left to expend at the end of the cracker/fall. As for pain, methinks this is a common misconception people have with singletails - they assume that they have to be able to take pain to be whipped. A skilled whip wielder has the ability to make that whip carress you or flay you. There doesn't need to be pain that one has to build up a tolerance for unless that is the goal of that whipping. Honestly a skilled person using a whip can whip you without making it hurt more than a cat kneading gently. (I would ADORE that level of skill with my whip *dreamy sigh*) And there is something to be said for someone knowing exactly how to pop the cracker so it releases the energy in the whip right next to the body rather than on the body so it releases that little "puff" of air. That being said, there are a TON of ways he can gain experience in learning how his whip channels the energy down it's length, how it handles the way he commands it, without it ever touching your body until he can actually hit what he MEANS to hit. Rice paper or butcher paper hung up with targets drawn on it is an excellent exercise. If you can whip that paper (rice paper is waaaaaaay thinner and harder to do this with)without tearing it, exploding it, where you are aiming, as well as learn at what point that whip starts getting a little "toothy" - and you are the one deciding the end result of what the whip puts out, I'd say that's a good time to start thinking about a human body.here are other ways to train with a whip, stuffed animals, toilet paper, a lady I know practiced with her light switch ( but it was an aiming excercise, that didn't teach her how to modulate the energy the whip expends at the end), a ball on a string outside, etc. Just like ANY toy, whips can be as gentle and sweet as a baby's first head of hair, it depends on who is using it. Whips don't HAVE to be painful, anymore than canes do. JMO ~ShadeDiva
