Anything that activates its touch receptors is rated by the body as an impact. Caressing, petting, tickling, even licking, technically are impact sports.

At this lightest level of impact the tools we favor most, our own body parts, are wonderfully adapted to the task. When focusing sensation with the intent of moving farther out along the Pain/Pleasure Parallax, more specialized tools can be helpful.

While a thousand generations of spankers, masseurs and martial artists have shown what an extraordinarily adaptive impact tool the human hand can be, they have also proven the need to protect our hands from undue strain whenever possible. Using a stick in your hand as an impact tool reduces strain tenfold. Flexible punishment tools reduce strain still further.

Traditionally punishment tools have started out as whatever implements were readily at hand, sturdy, yet pliant enough to deliver painful impact without causing damage. Some have proved so cruelly effective as to become classics. The cane, the belt, the strap, the paddle, the whip span the whole stick-flail continuum but all share one trait. All in their different ways, focus strike force into a delivery edge optimal to maximize sensation without damage. In other words, they hurt like a bastard on the fleshy parts with minimal effort.

The Fetish Classics for Erotic Impact are derived from these punishment classics. Each enjoying a well-earned and fearsome reputation for the cunningly wicked precision with which it can be employed in skilled and determined hands. Enormously powerful Fetish icons, the Erotic Impact classics draw their force both from their heritage as standards of systemized corporal discipline and from the intrinsic utility that earned it. The ease and precision of use the old classics afford makes them ideal for incrementally building sensation when using Erotic Impact in sexual play.

Canes and switches are perhaps the oldest and most favored of punishment tools. Punishment Canes are selected and worked for springiness concentrating strike force into a thin round impact face. Used with delicate precision or wild abandon, in diameters from “ultra thin to just under thumb size”, a skilled Caner can vary sensation from delicious to intolerable, on appropriate strike surfaces without damage or undue exertion.

Hardwood Canes have been used since punishment began. Their erotic potential and Fetish appeal have been enjoyed for millennia. Firm, smooth, sleek and ever so dangerous, capable of extraordinary and sudden harshness, yet soothingly erotic when used with tender delicacy. Hardwood Canes have less spring but more character then the bamboo family. Better color and grain patterns add the glow of living wood to the cruel utility of natural form, making a compelling Fetish implement.

mini canes

Grain select hardwood dowels in the narrowest diameters are sanded to a gloss smooth finish, then hand rubbed with oil to permeate and revitalize the grain, drawing out its character, strength and flexibility. These thin canes are then shortened to optimal length and domed at the end. Thin sticks in easily obtainable Hardwoods will break under the weight of their own acceleration if long enough to gain sufficient leverage. Sufficient flex is retained in 14” – 17” lengths to retain full effect in the target area without cracking easily.

Mini Canes come in pairs, can be used in a variety of exciting ways and are superior in tight spaced, short stroke situations. As little as 6” of travel in a stroke delivers the famous cutting sting for which canes are cherished. All these thin sticks will raise classic cane welts with only moderate effort. Used as a set, the three sizes together provide such range and degree they create a symphony of sensation at any level of stimulation from delicate to excruciating.
 

SF CANES

The same selection, sanding and seasoning process as the smaller sticks give these full size hardwood canes the same lustrous gleam of sturdy efficiency. Cut to 30” in length with domed ends, they have enough leverage to develop full acceleration without being unwieldy.
 

sf sticks

Sometimes called flat canes or narrow paddles, technically we call them slats, a class to which rulers and yardsticks belong. Like a cane, the stick’s intrinsic flex focuses energy to the face. Like a paddle, the increased surface area diffuses impact providing better transfer, broader diffusion and less rebound. With better leverage than a paddle and better coverage than a cane, slats provide an especially useful balance of attributes. So much so that rulers and yardsticks have been punishment favorites and Fetish Classics since at least the Victorian era.

The standard SF Stick is two feet of 1 ½” wide oiled oak a quarter inch thick. Shorter and broader than a conventional yardstick, our Sticks have double the impact transfer, three times the control and ten times the strength. The look, the feel, even the smell of the finishing wax defines Academia in all its Fetish glory. These simple, sturdy slats are equally, delightfully effective for a slappy ruby red warm-up or a walloping of legendary proportions. All edges are rounded over, beveled thong hole available on request.

deep impact

Deep impact is achieved safely by resonating force through soft tissue mass into the skeletal base. Therapeutic use of deep impact has been highly refined over the last 5, 000 years employing a truly fascinating array of fearsome implements. Highly developed skill and knowledge is essential but the erotic potentials in D/s and SM that deep impact opens up warrant the intense extended effort required to develop this talent.

Intense knowledge of both overall and individual physiology combined with unerring judgment and precision in delivery is a minimum requisite to pursuing deep impact. Extensive comprehensive practice on and with qualified experienced people is highly recommended before trying it at home.
 

ROUND STICKS

Round sticks are readily available and favored by many. We have them in hand selected cherry and maple. All come 36” long and are sanded, oiled and polished to a fine furniture finish, awakening the sensual beauty of the wood. The maple has more resonance and a higher tone. The cherry is denser, heavier, with more vivid color and grain patterns, delivering more bass.

THE HANDLE

Long grained hickory sledgehammer handles are still highly favored in this age of high tech resins and fibers and complex alloys because their resonance characteristics are unmatched even today. Hickory’s deservedly legendary ability to guard the stalwart sledgeman from vibration through prolonged use, make these tools the ultimate for deep resonant penetration.

What we do is rummage through the entire stock of large wooden sledgehammer handles; any we find of solid, straight-grained hickory we rescue from a life of drudgery and convert to erotic implements. The narrow bit is trimmed off, the shaft is stripped and smoothed, then seasoned with as much oil as it will hold.

This stick is a cross-sectional oblong fitting the hand better, improving grip and reducing fatigue. This shape also provides two distinctly different strike profiles giving it an incredibly versatile range. As a bonus, the Handle is perfect for assisted stretches and accupoint rolling.
 

mini floggers

Inspired by a box of very simple, amazingly sturdy universal swivel clips, unearthed in a renovation at the local Feed and Tack store, the Mini Flogger was intended as a one time novelty. They proved to be way too popular, way too effective and way too much fun to do anything but add them to regular stock.

Small enough for pocket, purse or keychain, the Mini Flogger has a smooth, free spinning action allowing a very respectable wallop to be delivered with surprising control. The Mini Flogger has a ½’ x 5” polished hardwood handle and a detachable head with 7” falls secured over a 1” metal ring with an industrial O ring. A 360-degree quick clip universal swivel bound through the handle on a free-hanging lanyard of Static Cord, joins head and handle. This system can also handle multiple or oversized heads to extend its range in amazing directions.

Heads are fashioned from off cuts of suede, leather and rubber. We try to produce the heads in matched pairs but weight, color and finish vary according to materials at hand.

Order by weight, 0 – 5, with 0 being fluffy suede and 5 being nasty inner tube. We try to accommodate color preference usually offering a choice of light or dark, often with a range of selection in red, white, brown or black. Contact us for current selection or surprise yourself with the packer’s pick.
