Master's Playroom--The Tools

While working with a new submissive, I was asked about some different tools in a typical playroom. Now, no two playrooms will be alike, and no two Doms will use a tool the same way, so while one may see a soft, sensual touch from a paint prush, another may see a stinging paddle from the same paint brush. I will go over the basic things in the playroom I just finished painting for Master's use here in our new home. As I put things away where they belong in the room, I will review what they are, how they feel from my side of things, any specifics of how to choose the perfect item, how they are stored, and other common names for the items.
Remember, some of the items in Master's Playroom are Gorean Specific and have one purpose. When I describe a Gorean tool, I will mark the item with an asterick ( * )
Before I start, I want to make a little note about the format and layout of Master's Playroom. We have a large walk in closet in our bedroom, which has been converted into Master's Playroom. I will also tell you that the walls are a dark smoke gray with a sky blue trum (technically, the walls are Stormy Night and Robbin's Egg). There is no door between Master's Playroom and the master bathroom, which is very large in itself. The doorway between the two rooms has had a few additions to it, there are two ceiling anchor screws in th etop, both of which have an O on the end, and two more of the same style anchors are on the bottom corners, Playroom side, of the door. I will explain those in a moment, since they do have a purpose. I also have several nails in the walls at different locations in Master's Playroom.
When one walks into Master's Playroom from the actual door, look to the right and there is a mural, which is a tribute to the different dynamics. Opposite this wall will be framed ownership certificates, photos, and any awards. It will be a pride wall. This is also where the shadow box frame will be mounted with the replica of Master's family collar, since the actual collar is too fragile to be displayed.
One of my favorite parts of Master's Playroom is that everything is so versitle.
In one corner, there is an inverted milk crate that holds 25 small glass votive candle holders and glass shot glasses and has a small dollar store picnic style plastic tote on top. In the tote are cotton balls, a bottle of 91% Rubbing Alcohol, and a few lighters. Kits like this can cost hundreds of dollars, but I got the glasses 3/$1, so I paid about $10 at most for the entire corner, for everything, lol. This is the fire cupping stuff. The cups should be no heavier than a single shot glass, anything under 91% Alcohol will not work right, and you should never, under ANY circumstances, ever, ever, ever, did I mention never, use any alcohol from your liquor cabinet for this. Drinking alcohol burns too hot and too uncontrolled to use safely. The rubbing alcohol and cotton balls can also be used to clean all toys and tools to keep everything safe and keep you healthy.
Next to this a folded, clear plastic shower curtian. This is spread on the floor for wax play, and kept out of the way when not in use.
By the no-door-doorway is another milk-crate storage spot. Under this crate is a first aid kit (no matter what kind of play you are into, this MUST be in every single playroom) as well as my blood sugar monitor. This is the "Oh shit" supply spot, it includes EMT scissors that will quickly cut tape, rope, leather, etc...
On top of the Oh Shit stuff, the sensual play stuff is stored. There are a few little baskets from, you guessed it, the dollar store (I love that place, lol), filled with cool and quirky items for play. There is a paint brush, a large makeup brush, a knitting needle, feathers, a wartenburg wheel, a pocket knife, things like that. There is also a basket with caliper clips for quick bondage, a stack of different types of tape, and a cup for things to use with wax play (paint brushes, spoons, straws, etc). In front of the crate is a parafin wax warmer. I, personally, like using the warmer because it keeps the wax from getting too hot. Parafin wax has a lower melting temp and is less likely to burn the submissive.
Now, to the "good stuff".
Remember those anchors I mentioned? They each have a caliper clip attached to them, the ones on top have a wrist cuff hanging from each one, and the ones on the mottom have an ankle cuff on each. At the top of the doorway, there is also a chain with suspension wrist cuffs hanging from it, just for different effects from the cuffing. Next to the doorway, I have a place to hang the different play collars, both to display and for easy reach.
The next things to note are the impact play tools.
There is the Quort(*). This is a 5 thonged leather slave whip. The thongs are 2 feel long and the handle is 18 inches. This is not displayed and just looking at it terrifies slaves. It is a Gorean tool and is a slaver's whip. The thongs are unforgiving and will mark a girl but not break the skin or scar. It is supposed to strike fear in a slavegirl and, in the hands of a slaver or Master, the Quort will make a slavegirl come alive and show her true nature in spite of her own desires.
The next thing on the wall is a riding crop. This one is a red handle wih black tip. It is exactly what it sounds like, a riding crop like you would use with a horse.
We also have a belt, which can also be considered a Gorean slave strap.
There is a 22 fall stingray whip, which I have knotted and braided. It is stingy when used with full force and will leave welts, but Master tends to be a little softer with the whip. This was the first whip we purchased when we entered the lifestyle.
We also have a bright orange rubber mini flogger. This one stings and is about 12 inches long end to end. It is more of a teaser and not a full flogger, great for breast torment or cunt busting (especially since it is so easy to clean).
There is also a device that is pure torment! You know those long sticks they give you when you buy a can of paint? Well, the sticks for five gallon cans are longer and thicker. This device is two of those glued together. It hurts! One or two thwacks with this will leae red stripes on the skin for a few days!
There is also a small red slapper with a heart cut out, the sweet heart paddle, which stings, the cutout helps cut down on the air resistance when swinging the paddle, thus allowing Master to control the speed and force behind the strike better.
The next item is a horsehair flogger. The flogging end is 12 inches of real horse hair and the handle is about 10 inches. When used so just the ends of the tail strike with a very rapid swing, this gives a very stingy feel. If the base of the tail is used, it is a more spreak out stinky feeling. If the tail is just brushed along the skin, it is an entirely sensual feeling.
There is also the fur flogger. This is our only flogger that is properly sized for Master to use comfortably. Because He is so tall, He has a wider swing, so the falls should be longer. 1/2 of the falls are 3/8" wide suade and the other half ate 3/8" wide faux fur. This is the MOST sensual flogger I hae EVER felt! But, don't be fooled, it can turn viscious and thuddy very quickly! This is my favorite flogger of all time!!
The next flogger is made of silk Japanese rope. It is all rope and is 16 falls. The falls are 18 inches long and the bottom 6 inches are unraveled. This one hasn't been used too often, so I am not sure if the rope will continue to unravel, but it is a possibility. It is a very thuddy whip. I will add more about this when I have some more experience with it.
Of course, we have tons of scarves, some ropes, and other things to use to restrain me. There are 4 cuffs that are made to go over and under the door when it is closed to restrain me in a spread eagle position. There is also a blindfold and two different gags. There is a ball gag with a little treat, it lights up, lol, and a ring gag that produces A LOT of drool.
There are also home made toys and tools. We have a very heavy flogger that is made out od the foot of an old shelving unit with leather falls glued and nailed around it. It has about 4 pounds of leather and over 100 falls. It is a very heavy duty thuddy whip. This one is a stamina test for both Master and slave (try swinging a 5 pound bat over and over with one hand to see how tired it can make you). I actually use this one a lot to flog my best submissive sister (notice the term, submissive sister is a sister in bondage, a friend who is also a submissive whereas a sister submissive or sister slave is someone who is also under Master's collar). She also has the same flogger. I love this flogger!
Then there are the nipple clamps. These little bitches hurt! The only real tips I have are, if you leave them on for a while, use a gag when they are removed, since the sharp pain when they are removed can be a shock! Removing them during orgasm heightens the orgasm for most people, and work your way up to the full strength of the clamps.
We also have a few other things I have made that I will cover later, once they are finished and added to Master's Playroom.
Besides what has been described, I have a pillow in the corner where I can kneel or sit to meditate. I kneel on a pillow when I kneel for long time periods because I have knee problems but many other slaves kneel right on the ground or rug. Master's recliner is in our bedroom close enough to the door to His Playroom that He can view the entire Playroom. I have a handbag hanging on the wall with toys that are insertable.
