Thanks for the response on whips. I think I need to further explain my requirements.
A whip fulfills two roles in my D&S play. Its lesser role is to be used on a submissive. This can be to give pain or to establish control. The choice of location and the strength of the blow demonstrate control.
In my fantasies the major role of the whip is symbolic. The person with the whip has an immediate aurora of power. The size and characteristics of the whip add to that power. If I describe a leather clad women with a crop one image appears, and with a six inch cock whip on her key chain a second appears. These two say I play at D&S. For me a women with a bull whip is one who rides a horse as that is where that kind of whip designed to be used.
I am looking for the kind of whip that says, “I drive human slaves.” I want the maximum of symbolic power.
The idea of the electrical cord is effective as a pain giver but lacks symbolic power. Seeing it in someone’s hands might make me think of moving the TV to the porch.
The whip I seek is of such force and power to harm that I would expect to use it only is very special circumstances similar to giving or getting a brand.
