The most important instrument is the Lady's mind.

I hate CP. I love CP when She is intensely into the scene, and feverishly employing the instrument in a "I can't stop myself" whirlwind of motions up front and personal. Her intensity is in Her eyes and kinetically connected to Her arms. She may strike with Her hands alone, or with small objects like hair brushes, ping pong and other paddles, belts and domestic items. What's most important to me is that She's comfortable with Her weapon of choice. it is natural for Her and She keeps swinging repeatedly without losing Her rhythm. Whips do nothing for me.

A CP session which works for me is one which starts out with soft almost incidental hits, works up rapidly to harsh painful strikes which I am begging Her to stop, and then gradually becomes refreshing like a rainfall on a humid day. I am thinking I love this Woman, there is no punishment I would not accept from Her, and She is transitioning to sensual touches.
