My husband and I went shopping at Home Depot the other day, and I picked up the thinnest wood doweling I could find (VERY thin, like a switch). I'm not using it to its fullest extent of course... that would be something like caning, which we're not interested in. But it leaves delicious red slashes across his ass (when I've tied him up and blindfolded him), which we both find very fun.
Who knew a sex toy could be so cheap? $0.88, I believe.
