Bondage Whips
Whips can be seen as corporal punishment.

Back in history, whips were used as punishment and there was a certain allure to them. Today there are many types of whips to choose from including standard whips, lashes, cat o nine tails, floggers and leather whips. Whips are usually used in conjunction with other forms of restraints such as handcuffs or under the bed restraints.

Crops are very similar to whips and could be classified under the same category. Whips may be made out of a variety of material including cane, bamboo, leather, plastic and latex.

Erotic spanking is done in BDSM circles usually with cane or a paddle. Some people consider pain an aphrodisiac and deep down enjoy the pain that is associated with whips. There are special outfits one could purchase called a spanking outfit which leaves the bottom exposed so one wouldn’t have to continuously remove articles of clothing. These outfits are usually leather or latex based.  Some people love the erotic touch that gets brought on by spanking as well.
