Caning and Spanking Stories copyright
1994-2001 by OldTom, all rights reserved. |
Sites
with stories or other material we particularly recommend:
- Lady
Lynx - Links to adult sites designed
for women. She explains in private email (quoted with permission),
"It gives me a huge smile to know you're proud of the link.
Lady Lynx is a real labor of love for me. I get very little revenue
from the site, but there's nothing on the net like it for the
heterosexual female." There are quite a few sites
out there designed for women rather than men - but they can be
hard to find. As you find other good ones out there, please do
recommend them to Lady Lynx.
- There are many stories available on the
SSS Resource Page.
One particular favorite of mine is The
Legend of Boot Hill.
- Red's
Realm of Romantic Restraint - Red
has put together an extensive site focusing on bondage pictures,
but includes lots of other material as well, as well as an annotated
links list.
- Erotic
Vox - A large collection of excellent
stories by Voxana Michaels. She has compiled a Guest Authors
section with many examples of the best of the best. Look for
This Is What
My Heart Wants by Michele
Casson.
- Laura's
Spanking Corner - Look for the
stories by Ginger, particularly Diplomatic Immunity and Barbarism
in the 23rd Century. Sure, there are many reasons to earn a spanking,
but for stealing sperm to populate a whole planet of lesbians...
well... that's creative. If you can't find Laura's Corner,
here
is another place you can check for Ginger's stories.
- BDSM Cafe - An excellent and well-laid-out site. Their story
section is as nicely polished as the rest of their site.
- Wulfram's
Page - is the famous spanking pictures
site, but also home of Flogmaster's
story archive. My Flogmaster favorites are The
Statue and The
Strap. Be warned that Wulfram's page tends to move around
from one address to another to another!
- TIES
(Tremendously Intense Erotic Situations)
- is a Minnesota-based BDSM organization run by babalon and Midnight
Writer. babalon is the source of our story Legend; she was trained
by Midnight Writer. I am currently seeking permission to host
his description of the legendary accomplishment. They have a
good concise BDSM
Definitions page.
- Bernie's
Spanking Pages - is an immensely
popular site with the material updated quite regularly.
- The
Robert W. Service Home Page is
poetry from the Alaska Gold Rush days. Old Tom's particular favorite
is The
Ballad of the Ice-Worm Cocktail, which describes an extremely
well done non-consensual BDSM scene. His Pet does not
endorse any play involving icky slimy crawly thingies.
Reciprocal
Sites with good-quality extensive links to other erotic story/picture
sites:
Vendors
we particularly recommend for one reason or another:
- Shadow
Rose Publishing - Wonderful leather
toys at rock bottom prices, along with Roses in the Shade,
a Quality D/s and Spanking Magazine
- Dominion Disciplinary Equipment - Makers of Fine Rattan Canes and Leather Straps
for Consensual Domestic and Scholastic Discipline. David Mosey
makes and sells high-quality canes and straps. His site includes
information on canes and caning technique, and of course thoroughly
describes his products. Even if you don't buy anything, the site
is an enjoyable visit!
- The Leather Rose
- is our favorite play place. Take a look at our
description of the club if you haven't done so. If you read
their Rules of
Engagement you'll better see why it's a good, safe, non-threatening
place to socialize and play.
- Hanson
Paddle Company - is our source
of very-low-cost unfinished rattan canes. They are friendly and
knowledgeable, and of course sell lots of stuff besides canes.
- Shadow
Lane - is the premier spanking
vendor of them all. Their outstanding reputation for quality,
service, and promptness is completely deserved. Unfortunately
they shut down their links page.
- Adam & Gillian, the famous whipmakers, make the Loopy Johnny.
If you don't know what a Loopy Johnny is, be sure to visit our
Original Loopy Johnny Fan Page. They
also host the SandMUtopian
Guardian, "A Journal of BDSM Realities." They offer
a limited one-year replacement guarantee on their canes.
- JT's
Stockroom - is a good reputable
source of low-cost BDSM gear. They offer quite a range of products.
I continue to recommend these folks via word of mouth. Their products are
always EXACTLY as described. The cover photo for their print catalog
is always riveting... I know of more than one case where the partner was
immediately required to order EVERYTHING in that picture and set it
up EXACTLY like that!
-
Exotic Paddles
I haven't ordered from these folks as yet, but you have to appreciate
the craftsmanship. They do their own work, so each item has its own
unique touch.
Favorite
D/s Sites:
- A Royal Heritage
- An interesting site, put together to chronicle "the coming
of age of the Princess sub." Her story is an interesting
read, and her page about collaring is perfect.
- Marie's D/s world
- Good information and links, with an emphasis on long-distance
D/s relationships.
- Welcome
to subNATION, the web site just
for those of us who choose to participate as submissives in the
D/s lifestyle and designed as a way to provide information and
support specifically for new submissives. Suggestions and contributions
will be gratefully accepted. Dom/mes are also more than welcome
to visit and contribute. After all, where would we subs be without
them?
Other
BDSM sites we like:
- The ASBWorld
Homepage does have a picture of the Dread Koosh Flogger,
which is "the standard of thud and the tool of punishment
of the SSBWorld Court." The rest is primarily of interest
to long-time asb readers. (If you don't know what asb is, you
aren't one.) There are interesting articles such as "Why
Do We Do What It Is That We Do?", which is an attempt
to define exactly what BDSM covers.
- Wizdomme
pages - Quite a variety of interesting
stuff. What brought me there was the BDSM Humor section featuring
"The Managed Dominance Plan".
The
following sites offer information on rattan, canes and caning.
Rattan is primarily used to make furniture,
and we have found the best information source for the rattan material
itself is the furniture exporters' web pages. We have listed some
of these below. The following links progress from the raw material,
to the finished cane, to caning techniques.
To actually purchase a cane, please check
the Favorite Vendors section above.
- Keresa Plantations Sdn.Bhd.
- Planting and growing different varieties of rattan, with pictures.
- Che
Lin Kee Rattan & Cane Mfg Co. -
"Che Lin Kee Rattan & Cane Mfg Co. supply all kinds of rattan
& cane materials for furniture industries" This page has
an interesting photo of a huge rattan stockpile.
- Janton
Enterprises Limited - A good picture
of the different varieties of rattan.
- Lee Luen
Yick Rattan Factory Ltd - Their
pages have diagrams and descriptions of rattan core, rattan peel,
rattan cane.
- The
Caning shop - Their rattan and
rattan poles catalog page shows the different types of rattan
"for furniture and martial arts".
- Frank's
Cane and Rush Supply - the page
on bamboo and
rattan poles compares and contrasts the different varieties
of each.
- La Bonne Fessee Rattan Canes
- Offers to sell canes, followed by some instruction, and a link
to their Caning
Guide.
- Sensuous Caning by
Conrad Hodson - is an excellent
exposition of an erotic non-threatening style of caning, suitable
for beginners and intermediate players. You might need to increase
the font size of your browser to make the text readable, though.
There is a pure-text copy
of the same essay at English
Palace.
- The
Frugal Domme has the article The Joy of Caning
by Katharine Hawks. If you poke around you'll find pointers to
such articles as How
To Make A Cane.
- Caning notes - thin
content, but accurate so far as it goes.
- Trishah has written the only other scene
report we know of, about a consensual adult caning. Her collection
is at StoryTime
with trishah - Free BDSM Erotic Stories, illustrated by Bob
King. Look for her story Conrad's Caning.
Ropecraft:
- Knots on the Web (Peter Suber) is a large links page with sections on Knot Tying,
Knot Theory, Knot Art, Knot Software, Knot Books, and a Knot
Gallery. The links are well described and easy to read. The site
appears to be well-tended and up to date.
- Ropers Knots Page - The knot site on knot-work
in real rope and lines. (The site seems down. If you know of
a new link, please let me know!)
- Japanese Rope Bondage
- Tammad's Bondage How-To Page
- Old Tom printed off Tammad's instructions, following them as
precisely as he could, and received wonderful compliments the
very first time he tried it. (He tied His Pet into a rope dress
downstairs at The
Leather Rose.)
Writers'
Resources, particularly for writers of erotic fiction:
- The Erotica
Readers Association is dedicated to "literary erotica
that appeals specifically to women and couples." The Author's
Library is a good source of advice, links, guidelines, and so
on.
- Writers' Resources
- Mary Anne Mohanraj has put together an excellent set of links,
including to useful material of her own. The writing part of
it; the business part of it; the publishing part of it; the markets;
the community; and the on-line writing workshop. Her home
page is well organized and has a tutorial on how to set up
your own web page, a library of graphics.
- Ask a question! -
Volunteer experts on the subject of writing.
