Caning & Rods - Art of Caning
By
Lady Hugs
There are many strokes from warm up, such as the scoop
stroke which is circular and always upwards, which gives a
light brushing impact to which then can be followed by pats
or taps.
The hit and hold, which allows the impact of the cane, to
keep the sensation burning a bit longer, the hit and lift
which does not keep the sensation burning but radiates from
the impact, the hit and side to which will feel like a burn
and tear/rip. The hit and slide stroke if done with a
textured can amplifies the feeling of a skin tear/rip
without tearing skin or breaking it.
In more advanced caning when using two or more canes at the
same impact moment, would be clap and drum strokes, partial
and tipping.
Partial strokes is a stroke using approximately 3-5 inches
of the tip of the cane or rod, to impact between the
shoulder blades on a skinny individual, to whom has no meat
or muscle to take a full cane stroke on the back. Partial
stroke is also used for caning the feet, hands or in between
the thighs or on the female's labia, entrance to the vagina
and anus of men and women. [Note: if using a cane on
genital areas such as vagina and anus, if a natural cane
either wrap the cane in Saran wrap/cling wrap or lay cling
or Saran wrap and tape to the individual's body. Rubber or
other material that can withstand a dishwasher or
sterilizing machine can be used without protection]
Tipping has been demonstrated more often wrong, as a partial
stroke rather then the proper tipping stroke of using the
very end of the cane, to tap the nipple or pubic area to
cause involuntary orgasms by using the acupressure points.
Other than tipping the nipples and pubic area tipping can be
slightly more intense then a light tap when applied to the
buttocks cheeks, but never on the back or thighs.
In using the cane and rod, the foundation strokes are always
on the same principle as the flogger and whip, in which no
down strokes, such as north to south strokes, are used on
breasts, penis, testicles, buttocks and/or thighs. Cane and
rods are not to be used below the knee joints or on the
arms, on any joint or spine or bone, no where on the face,
neck, upper shoulders, belly unless extremely light and with
a submissives belly inflated with air and ready to be
impact, not when the dominant is ready to impact.
In caning the thighs, the proper male position is to have
legs open as to allow his genitals to sink between the
thighs, as to prevent accidental and non consensual impact.
Females can be closed or open as long as the cane's length
can impact squarely and evenly at the same time. Short
canes, also known as "governess canes" force the female
submissive to be caned legs closed. "School master's
canes," which are approximately 4 feet allow greater freedom
of positions.
In caning the breasts, female breasts regardless of size,
should be impacted with upward strokes, again same with
whips, as not to detach them from the muscle. Breasts can
be struck evenly on but never any movement down. This
applies to men who have breasts as well, such as overweighed
men. Strokes applied should not be heavy and should be
light, adding layers to create discomfort and then later
into pain. In a rhythmic tap of the broad side of the cane
on both nipples as they hang down can be similar in effect
to tipping the nipples in a standing/sitting position, in
doing this -- often women will get orgasms. Most will have
tiny ones but, nonetheless it is all external without any
masturbation of the clit. Men will precum if relaxed by
using the nipples with the tipping stroke or a rhythmic use
of the broad side of the cane.
As with the flogger tails, the thicker the cane's diameter
the more thud it produces. It will not vibrate as much as
a thinner cane. The thinner the diameter, the more bite or
sting it will produce. So, it is recommended to use the
thick diameter cane or rod for warm up a sensual work, and
decrease the diameter as the play continues. Once the scene
is near conclusion, to prevent dropping the submissive out
of subspace or flying, to go slowly back to the thick
diameter. In short, reverse what you used.
There are many materials to choose canes and rods from. The
rattan cane being the easiest to maintain and keep, the
rattan is coated in water based polyurethane or raw linseed
oil. If raw, or unfinished, keeping it moist without
rotting it keeps it supple.
Bamboo, can never be kept moist by oils or finishes. They
require being soaked in salt water. Epson salt is not the
same but, if in a dire need, can be used but, natural salt
water is best.
Birch and Yew are wonderful traditional canes found in
Europe along with bamboo. Fruit trees and not citrus tree
woods can also harvest good canes once, stripped and
debarked, then sanded smooth.
Aluminum arrow shafts, carbon arrow shafts (if a light
player), plastic curtain rods and other materials are also
wonderful. If a crop looses it's cracker or thong, tape the
end and the texture of the skin over the bone of the crop
can be used as a cane.
In selecting a rattan or tree/bush wood cane, the bend which
is also called "the knee" of the cane is not any problem to
the strength of the cane. It is the twist. The twist is
like an old fashioned Coke - Cola bottle, or wringing a rag,
this is a flaw and weakness that may shatter the cane if it
is within the middle of the cane. Usually people selling
canes will dedicate a twisted portion of the cane to a
handle.
Proper storing of canes and natural rods are by hanging them
and not laying down or on their tips.
Tips of the cane play a major role in the harshness of the
"tipping stroke." Most canes are rounded at the tip, which
is the mildest and most often used for tipping the breasts
and pubic area. The beveled or squared off tip is harshest
and is more painful and if the submissive's nipples have
been desensitized from lots of nipple torture, the square
end may be necessary to get the involuntary orgasms by the
tipping stroke.
The dominant in the art of caning or using the rod, will be
familiar with the cane's natural motion. In selecting a
cane, shaking it north to south is not a true measure of a
cane's quality but, in sending it west to east or east to
west, will show the amount of oval it takes at a distance.
To "whip" the cane can only show it's flexibility. To
"whip" the cane is when an individual snaps the cane or whip
sharply to make noise or sharp impact.
Other than thick canes and rods, will the path be straight
and without oval caused by energy meeting object and flow
around the cane shaft/aerodynamics. Like trees, thinner
canes will bend as not to shatter.
To check a rod or cane for roughness, taking an old nylon
stocking and dragging it along will find burrs that need to
be filed down. Usually a fingernail file with fine grit
will do the best job and least damage to the finish of the
cane/rod.
It is not often taught how significant the grip of a cane is
as well as the position of the submissive. I can only
assume it is due to the lack of formal ways being passed
down.
A major fault in caning on the dominant's role, is the hand
grip of the cane. This is especially true with rattan and
bamboo which are light and have vibration. The idea of
caning is to send the vibration into the submissive and not
travel into the arm or body of the dominant.
The best grip is to lightly hold the cane in the strong
hand, just light enough as to not let it drop or slip but,
not so tight as to squeeze it. Perhaps picturing pinching
the index finger and thumb with the cane in between. The
other fingers are to be loose and by closing the fingers as
squeezing a spray bottle to spray, is the best analogy to
describe formal caning's hand grip.
Another way to sabotage the cane's effect is by keeping the
hand closed tight or to use the index finger to point onto
the cane. This actually mutes the cane.
Only the wrist is employed in caning the actual strokes, the
style is just a delivery of energy and in different ways.
The biggest fault on the submissive side to caning is the
position. Again, the training just doesn't seem to be passed
down as to elements of caning which are very important.
The dominants need to understand that their submissive's
body is a body which echoes and vibrates. The idea of using
the cane is to impact, let the vibration echo and travel,
radiate and disperse in the body. Bondage furniture and
slave position is what creates mute or amplified sensations
or to be sabotaged or pure.
Having a submissive stand, when impacted by cane onto the
buttocks, will only have sensation travel straight through
the hip but little or no travel up into the spine or legs.
If a submissive stands against the bondage frame, for
example a St. Andrew's cross, the furniture actually mutes
the cane and the impact's sensation will only travel to the
spine and not through the hip.
The spanking horse, believe it or not, does not yield good
sensations either. Being that it is not always built on the
true table like horizontal, it elevates the shoulders and
chests, which causes the sensation of the impact to stop
around the rib cage and no further.
The ideal positions a submissive can take as not to sabotage
the effects of the cane, the stroke or style, is to be
without restraint and take a position of standing, then
bending over placing their hands on a table or chair (not
the back of a chair as it isn't stable enough), parting
their legs slightly, as to open their genitals to act as a
vibration chamber or like a open mouth, to level out their
back as to be so level as to be able to have a tray sit upon
their back without day light showing. This is the maximum
effect position.
Other ideal positions are, to stand, bend over and grab the
ankles with legs slightly apart. The skin on the buttocks
is drawn tight and impact will be felt into the hip and
radiate but, not as dramatically as the English position as
above.
Kneeling puts a dominant in an awkward position but, it is
possible to properly cane the back and buttocks.
The whip position, or kneeling then placing the head onto
the floor and arms along side or under the head, then
raising the buttocks is also good for caning the buttocks.
In caning the thighs, the ideal way is to have a submissive
support themselves on their elbows on a solid furniture
piece, such as a table, bar or box, then squat half way.
This rounds the thigh muscles and tenses them up enough to
create a hump. This hump is the proper area to cane frontal
thighs.
Caning the back/shoulders. This really depends on the
submissive's body type. If a submissive is muscled or has
fat to pad the area, this will give the opportunity to cane
the back fully. The submissive should draw their shoulders
back, their chest will lift but, the muscles will be more
defined. Don't have the submissive hollow their back as to
expose joints or shoulder blades to the cane. An analogy
would be to have them at attention.
If the submissive is skinny or fragile, without meat or
muscle, use the partial stroke to cane between the spine and
shoulder blades.
The dominant's ideal position in caning is standing with
legs slightly parted, at the hip of the submissive as to
land the broad side of the cane evenly and impact to both
cheeks more evenly.
Canes will wrap, or flex
on the off side. This is why caning from both sides of the
submissive's hips evens out the damage and keeps impacts
symmetrical. To stand too far forward will cause the cane
to impact near the dominant harder and barely touch the off
side. To stand to far back, will cause only the tip of the
cane to hit the off side and not close to the dominant.
For those with disabilities, the submissive with
disabilities can be placed on a bar stool, allowed to rest
on a solid table their upper body, then have the buttocks
slightly over hang the edge of the seat of the bar stool,
and you have a perfect target.
The best styles for dominants with disabilities to adopt are
the American and German style of caning.
