I think I don't like floggers very well because I like many other things better. Most significantly, I prefer canes to floggers. Part of this is aesthetic: I think things that are narrow, rigid, and straight are attractive in general, and canes and their marks are both narrow and straight. I enjoy working to get my lines perfectly precise and even. Floggers are many things, some of them attractive, but when a flogger becomes rigid, it stops being a flogger and becomes a martinet or a birch (and, tellingly, I find those implements more attractive) and when it becomes narrow, it becomes a singletail (and, again, I'm crazy about my snake whips). Flogging marks can be lovely, but a neatly spaced, regular pattern just doesn't seem to be the goal. I also like ritualized, English-style discipline, and canes fit that situation best. Probably the aesthetic started it, but now I've nurtured my fondness for canes and I have other reasons. I've developed a nice collection of implements. I've learned to provide many different sensations. Canes hold some happy associations now for me--I recall some Really Great Scenes that centered on caning, and I become convinced that canes and good playtimes go together. Additionally, just about everything applicable in my toy bag has been tried on me, either by me or by someone else, and I can definitely see how canes could feel good. On the other hand, I don't associate floggers with great scenes I've done, I don't have a whole lot of floggers, I'm not all that great with them, and when I experienced flogging from the bottom, I was pretty indifferent to it. They're perfectly decent toys, but not really my thing. Plus, you can't play tic tac toe on someone's thigh with a flogger. Monica
