Caning 101.08 Warmup130 viewsWarmup of the skin is essential for preparing it for heavier strikes. Most caning bottoms like marks, but it is possible to play with a cane without marking if there is a good warmup preceding heavier play. Do not judge skin color to evaluate warmup, use your hand before, during and after to feel the temperature of the skin rise. Use the backstop technique demonstrated to get a direct feel for how hard the strikes are during warmup. Increasing circulation in the strike area and warming up the skin are good essential components for beginning an enjoyable caning scene. Never simply commence to wailing on someones arse. The concept is to show bottoms the joy of caning, not to scare them away so they never want to be caned again.

Caning 101.09 Tapping127 viewsTapping is a partial stroke technique that can be used to warmup the skin, or as an interlude or break from more heavy strikes during a scene. Tapping as with any stroke should be done in rhythm with the music that is playing in the space. Tapping can be done on any fleshy part of the body safely avoid joints and boney parts.
