Spanking bench or horse

I am interested in getting a spanking bench or horse as they are sometimes called. There are lots of them available from under $100 to over $1500. Does anyone have any experience or recommendations. I am willing too spend several hundred dollars for a good one but really don' know where to begin. Thanks in advance.

Ask @Master_Dorson for assistance in this matter

It is going to depend on the physical attributes of the user, height and weight. A bench is more versatile than a horse. With a horse, the person is draped over the arch, head down, butt up. Not comfortable for very long, but ideal posture for canes, belts and floggers. Benches come is various configurations, most common, parallel padded ledges for the legs, a padded surface for the torso and sometimes padded wings for the arms. The person needs to fit the size if the bench (some are made to allow the ledges to be adjusted for height) both in overall stature and weight. Obese people will not be comfortable of a bench for long periods of time.

My advice is to visit a well equipped dungeon and try out the furniture to get an idea of what will suit your needs.

Personally I use a table for spanking, or if the person is petite, over my lap.

I would thoroughly recommend going for higher priced items that have higher reviews.

Benches are also more stable and if well constructed will last a lot longer. I also find benches more comfortable!

I've been put on spanking benches at our local dungeon many times. There are two distinct types that they have and I've tried both of them. One is a bench where you kneel on one part of it (your knees are together and not spread apart) then you rest your torso and upper body on a raised platform. The other type is more of a "straddle" bench. It has a padded top running the length of the bench with padded side rails for your legs and arms. You put your knees on the side rails and straddle the padded top, resting your torso and abdomen on the top. I like that one the best because by straddling the bench like that, you feel more "opened up" and exposed.

Feature wise, I would look for a bench that has a number of hooks or straps for restraining the victim to the bench!

I've also been put on a pommel horse, like the kind they use in gymnastics. It was just a single large padded area a little higher than waist high, although the height could be adjusted. I leaned over the top of the padded area at my waist so that my legs and feet were on one side and my head and arms were dangling over the other side. My ankles were spread wide and cuffed to hooks at the base of the horse, and likewise my arms were cuffed and hooked to the other side. I was spread wide and exposed and the spanking began! That one is a lot of fun.

Amazing. It makes you wonder if this is what those kinky Swedes had in mind all along.

I made one of the VersaHorse benches a while ago. Haven't done anything too wild with it yet, but it seems to work very well and is somewhat collapsible. http://foxyfurniture.devilskink.com/versahorse.html is the basic version, the one I did had a few modifications. Somewhere there is someone doing a premade version that likely looks much better than mine, but mine is solid.

Edit - looks like they have premade versions at http://fetishfurniture.org/.

I have a horse it's great because you can put them on it with their legs on its legs or you can lean them over it

Since my name was mentioned, I will chime in and offer my experience with various designs. The ones that bend you over at the waist tend to be uncomfortable after a bit depending on how rounded and width of the horse, or another way is how much surface area is in contact with the person to distribute the weight over the abdomen for comfort. Now if you go the other way so the length of the the torso, the body is better supported, more comfort and also the legs and arms are supported in comfortable position which also helps the weight on the body. The best way is to try it for yourself, if it not comfortable for you, then it won't be for them either.

If one is skilled in woodworking, one can make it themself, a nice one for several hundred dollars in materials.

Guess I should also add what someone was referring to when my name was mentioned, https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=gallery;ox=showalbum;ax=3802

I will add links to other designs if I can find them.

I would guess you could build a very nice and solid one for around 300 in materials. Including padding if you wanted it and have some basic upholstery skills. I’d go for a horse where you can sread eagle the legs A bit. Also include restraint. I have a sideboard built out of cherry that cost less than 300 in materials

Okay, back after looking on the internet and my library I have a few things and more geared towards the do it yourself crowd.

First off one of the best books for DIY people is a book titled, “The Better Built Bondage Book” by Douglas Kent. Don't go to any of the amazon or used books sites as they are asking crazy prices from my search, instead go direct to the site and it is like $35 plus whatever shipping. https://douglaskentrope.com/products/the-better-built-bondage-book also do a google search and look at images with the search string, “the better built bondage book” and you will pictures of what is inside the book. Being a DIY person because I disliked the poor quality and high prices of many items and having the skills myself and tools, I said I could make better stuff then what you see online. Maybe one day I will write a book of my own with plans and such like his but from my perspective as I am both an engineer and skilled craftsman. The book covers many subjects and everything from balls gags, floggers, to benches.

One can also modify too and this ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmGjYU-kyAgs another one of the same style,

@realblueyes Depending on what you are looking for and quality, several hundred would be in materials alone for something real decent. If you want to go cheap, saw horse design comes to mind and suggest you think about making sure it is rugged and stable enough as accidents are bad things. I have seen my share and number of stories of other people, even experienced players. Maybe post more detail after reading all this and tell us what direction you want to go into.
