Whips 101

Presented by: Domino

Friday Dec 11, 2009 Location in Waltham: 7:30 – 9:30 PM

Single tails hold a special place in the hearts and minds of many in the BDSM world. The unmistakable CRACK of a whip turns heads in any dungeon and many will admit to an almost primal reaction to the sound. 

If whips fascinate you Whips 101 is the place for you. 

Did you know that the crack of a whip is the sound of the popper exceeding the speed of sound? Did you know that a whip’s physics are based on the principle of the conservation of energy along a continuously decreasing taper? 

Whips 101 takes a look at the history of whips, different types of whips, and how to use a whip safely in a scene. 

We’ll show you what too look for in a high quality whip, how to buy your first whip and care for it so that it will last a lifetime. We’ll show you how to make poppers and replace them and how to clean them on whips where they are not replaceable. 

In Whips 101 you’ll learn the basics and we’ll show you how to keep yourself and your bottom safe when playing. 

Whips 101 is a hands on experience. If you have a whip bring it, if you don't we have some loaners. 

We’ll be easy to find, just listen for the crack.

From tying up his high school cheerleader girlfriend, to having his Dominant spirit awakened by a spankophile in the early 90’s, Domino has pursed his interests in the BDSM lifestyle for almost 30 years. 

After working with Robert Dante, Sebastian and Bob Deegan, Domino’s interest in the single tail was heightened with a particular interest in longer whips for both scene and sport cracking. 

Currently his whip bag holds more than 50 examples of whip craftsmanship from all over the world and he enjoys cracking them on a regular basis in the backyard or at a local dungeon. He is a true “crack addict.” 

Domino is the founder and host of “The Bullwhip Lounge”, an annual two day whip open house at the Boston Fetish Fair Fleamarket and has presented at Black Rose, Whips in the Woods and Leather Reign and Floating World.
