WITD 101.41a Aftercare60 viewsAftercare is a consideration in any scene. There are many types of aftercare. Consider the whip catcher coming down from a huge endorphin rush. Water, blanket, sometimes chocolate or a hard candy. Some prefer to cuddle, some prefer to be left alone and have quiet time, some prefer to quietly chat about the experience. Some prefer their primary partner or a friend give aftercare. Whip tops experience drops differently too. Whether giving or assigning aftercare, always consider it in negotiations as a discussion point and an action point following a scene.07/09/20 at 21:53Dex: I always forget to mention something in these vide...

WITD 101.36a Controlled Puff61 views@Mistress_Marion for coining the term "controlled puff". This concept while not in my book, WITD, compliments the controlled puffs that transition to effective dungeon play. Learn to throw controlled steps of gradually building intensity.

This is adjusted based on feedback from the whip catcher during play.07/09/20 at 21:48Dex: The great shame against whips is when I find a bot...

WITD 101.34 Reverse Your Brain57 viewsReverse Your Brain focuses on the concept of brain elasticity, or using the opposite hemisphere of your brain. Rather than dig into the research, it puts forth the principle that every moment you spend practicing the 4 WITD techniques with your "opposite" hand will make your "dominant" hand smarter. The result is proficiency faster in dungeon play with your dominant hand than would have occurred without the opposite hand practice. Ambidextrous throwers should practice both sides as well, lol.07/09/20 at 21:45Dex: I'm jealous, I wish I could florentine.

WITD 101.30 To Crack or Not To Crack62 viewsTo Crack or Not To Crack looks at creating a synthesis with your whip in the dungeon. Nuisance cracking, excessive practice cracking and thoughtless whip throwers have in some parts of the world given whips a bad reputation. This short practice session talks through letting the music influence whether you crack or do not crack to create a compatible dungeon set. Secret Garden, Journey, and Rammstein are compared. Whips, canes, rope, floggers all belong in the dungeon. Do not let dungeon owners ban whips.07/09/20 at 21:43Dex: This is the video that got me kicked off of Vimeo!...
