Bathbrush paddling: Tenderized with the bristles?

So my favorite implement, surpassing even the violin bow, is a large, heavy bathbrush I bought recently. Today I gave myself twenty hard licks on each cheek, and then some assorted smacks including inner and outer thighs, sides of buttocks and sides of calves while I was taking my punishment enema. I even had it in my hand and gave myself a couple smacks with it while I was riding a dildo later. I dunno, I was just in a paddling mood today, and no one was here to be mean to me and make me cry with the bathbrush, so I had to do it myself.

But I tried something I hadn't done before. Before starting each round of my spanking, I brushed the skin on the target area firmly, but not injuriously, with the bristles of the brush. I didn't do a strict comparison, but I felt like the first few licks were much more stinging and painful afterwards.

Has anyone had this done to them, or incorporated it into their bathbrush spanking routine? I think if I were over someone's lap and they unexpectedly started my paddling by tenderizing the skin with the bristles, I would go _instantly_ into subspace.

I've done the bristles thing before. It's nice a nice topical sensation but I've never found that it "tenderized" the spot. Maybe I wasn't doing it hard enough. Bathbrushes can be brutal. I find them more terrifying than most paddles...

I have to ask though, a violin bow? This one has never crossed my mind!

Spanking with a violin bow is a very old story; I first heard it in a children’s book on musical instruments when I was young. It had a picture of a pochette, which is a small travel violin, so called because allegedly people put it in an overcoat pocket. If you’ve ever played a violin you know that no one would ever do that because it would risk jarring the bridge out of place.

But it also (and bear in mind that this was a children’s book) said that pochettes were favored by ballet instructors for accompaniment in rehearsals, and that they sometimes used the bows to chastise students who hadn’t mastered their parts. Thankfully there was no image of this but I guess it planted the idea in my head.

I forgot about this book entirely until just now. As an adult I encountered the idea again when I saw very old spanking photos from probably the 1910’s, in which a young female violin tutor is switching her student (who looks like she could be her younger sister) with the back of the bow, presumably for not having practiced. The violin she’s holding is ugly and probably fake. In this time black and white photographic chemicals were so insensitive to the color red that I couldn’t tell if there were any marks left by the spanking, but I tend to believe it was fake as well.

And no one who played violin would actually do this. Bows are very expensive (the very cheapest ones are about $50 a pop but they can go up to four figures) and lose hairs left and right; you can’t afford to abuse them, such as by swinging them very fast at someone’s ass. But it’s a story that, in both of these incarnations, picks up on something about classical ballet and classical violin: these are very, very disciplined and hard art forms, and frankly it’s probable enough that some corporal punishment was used in the bad old days. A friend of mine teaches violin at the college level; another friend who was her Masters student before quitting said that she had been like a harsh, chastising mother figure to him and gotten in his head all psychologically. I know her well enough not to doubt it.

See the movie “Whiplash” for an example of how these toxic relationships can develop in music education, albeit for a very exaggerated example that leads to a lawsuit and later both parties publicly humiliating each other.

But pragmatically I like using one of my old balding fiddle bows (I play country fiddle, which is a whole different culture) on myself. It’s like switching yourself, you can’t really get enough momentum to do any damage.

@VermouthEnemaKatie Wow, yeah. I was going to say, they seem awfully fragile and expensive. A friend of mine gave me a violin a few years ago because I used to talk a lot about how I always wanted to learn it. The first time I tried tuning it one of the pegs broke and the string popped and nearly took out my eye. Very different than tuning a guitar, much more sensitive.

That is a creative idea though, even if it’s better left in the fantasy realm. Now you’ve got me thinking - Once upon a time I had come up with the brilliantly painful idea of being spanked with guitar strings. Wouldn’t recommend it, extremely painful (not in a good way) and quick to draw blood.

Anyway, I didn’t mean to hijack your bath brush thread and make it about music, but I had to ask.

Good morning! About 12-13 years ago I was in Alabama on business and I connected with a local young lady who wanted a good spanking. She said she wanted me to use a bath brush and would buy one one the way to meeting at my hotel. When she arrived she showed me a couple of lighter implements, a small paddle and a brush she wanted me to warm her up with before using the bath brush. She said she wanted to cry and to not hold back when using it. So we went through the lighter implements and then I picked up the bath brush. It didn’t take long at all for her to be bawling….she admitted it REALLY hurt a lot. More than any other implement she had experienced, but she was glad I used it on her. She said she “really needed it”. We never got to meet up again, but that was my one experience using a bath brush!

It’s going to be the bath brush with figging (ginger butt plug) for me tonight, I made several really unacceptable slip-ups this week, haven’t done any cleaning, and was one minute from being marked tardy at work this morning.

I’m thinking tenderization with the bristles, and then at least fifty strokes on each cheek and fifty on each thigh, with the ginger in my ass so every time I clench it burns harder. Haven’t decided on anything after that but I’ll probably want to wear a diaper if only for the padding on my tender ass.

The tenderising idea is great - never heard of this. Your writings are insipring!

I have a couple of thoughts relating to bath-brush paddling and the bristles and a violin-bow spanking:

1. I have three different wooden bath brushes purchased for under $10 each at Walmart and I love them. Two have an oval shape, one of which has bristles on the back and the other has a sponge-sort-of thing on the back, but they have the exact same handle and shape. The third bath brush has a round head and a heavier wood and this one is my new favorite spanking implement.

A paddle can cover both cheeks while the bath brush concentrates its fire-power in one spot and it feels great, especially the round one.

I will have to try the rub-bristles-on-the-butt-first technique. Part of me things that lightly scrubbing the skin would sensitize the skin, just waking it up, so to speak, and that might be enough to intensify the feeling of the smack of the bath brush. I have grandkids here right now so I’ll test it later.

2. Now, the violin bow. I am a classically trained violinist and played for years in a youth symphony and in many public productions. My violin bow cost $400 back in 1973 so that's like $45 million today when adjusted for inflation. Wait, I may have overestimated that by a tad. Actually, it is probably worth $2,000 today. My dad also paid $412 for my violin in 1970 so the bow is worth roughly the same as my violin.

Anyway, with my love of spankings and my love for trying new implements on my bottom and because of you two naughty girls giving me ideas, I am now find the idea of experimenting with a violin bow quite intriguing, but I would want to buy a cheap, used violin bow at a second-hand store or get a cheap student violin bow at the music store.

Truth be told, I don't know that it would have enough bite or kick in it to hurt very much. I think the bow hairs would dampen the effectiveness or severity of the strike and removing the bow hairs might weaken the strength of the bow itself. On the other hand, removing the horse-hair bow string might strengthen the bow itself because while tightly strung, the wooden bow is under tension and it might more easily snap. I better get half a down bows if I want to truly test this.

BTW and FYI: The bow hair is actually horse hair, generally from the tail, but can be from the mane. About 160 to 180 very straight horse-hair strands are attached next to each other to form a ribbon. Rosin is applied to the bow hair before being used. Rosin is the hardened sap of the pine tree and comes in yellow or black cakes, which produce a white powder when rubbed. Rosin powder is sticky, which helps the bow rub the strings.

What an interesting and weird post. Started out talking about wooden bath-brush spankings, bristle-butt rubbing prior to spanking, violin-bow spankings, and the physical makeup of the hair on a violin bow and the rosin that it applied to the violin bow prior to playing to enable the palying.

Wow! Interesting and educational. Okay, so maybe not. At least it was for me.

For sure a nice selfhandled session for not following the necessary rules !!
