{"product_id":"stallion-riding-crop-18","title":"Master Series Stallion Riding Crop – 18 Inch, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Master Series Stallion is an 18-inch riding crop in black vegan leather, with a glass fibre core and a triangular leather tip. It's a short, controllable crop that lands a crisp sting exactly where you aim it, which makes it one of the easier impact tools to learn on and still useful once you're experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's built\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaft is glass fibre: firm enough to aim precisely, with just enough flex to snap into each stroke. It's wrapped in polyurethane leather, so it's vegan friendly and looks like a classic equestrian crop. The 1.5-inch-wide triangular keeper at the end does the work, and its flat face spreads impact over a small area. At the other end is a textured grip with nickel-free metal accents, plus a loop for hanging it up. Aluminum is also listed among the materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a riding crop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's only 18 inches long, you'll be close to your partner, which is good for control and for watching reactions. Start with light taps from the wrist, gently patting with the flat of the tip. Then add a little speed. The buttocks and upper thighs take impact well; avoid the spine, kidneys, joints, face and neck. Agree on a safeword before you start, and check in as you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore than a swat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA crop is also a teasing tool. Trace it along the skin before a stroke so your partner never knows when the hit is coming. Use the tip to lift a chin, tap an inner thigh as a signal to spread, or rest it across their back as a reminder to stay still. Paired with a blindfold, the anticipation can be as intense as the impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarming up and pacing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven with a forgiving crop, the skin handles impact better once it's warmed up. Begin with a few minutes of hand spanking or light crop pats spread over a wide area, then focus on one spot as the skin flushes. Alternate firm strokes with soft rubs from your palm, which soothe and let the sting bloom. Count strokes aloud if you enjoy structure, and slow down whenever breathing changes sharply. Finish with water, a blanket and a check-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood fit or not?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits beginners who want precision and couples looking for a versatile crop for teasing and punishment. If you want heavy, thuddy sensation, a paddle or flogger is a better fit.

Don't soak it, since water can work into the leather wrap. Hang it by the loop so the keeper stays flat and the shaft stays straight. Check the tip now and then for cracks in the PU, which can catch skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: XR, Master Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: glass fibre core, PU (vegan) leather, aluminum, nickel-free metal grip details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 18 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTip width: 1.5 in, triangular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: textured grip with hanging loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about consent and impact in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/sexual-wellness\/exploring-bdsm-a-safe-and-sensual-guide\"\u003eBDSM guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Master Series","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53227160273178,"sku":"XRAH236-18","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/6089\/7818\/files\/eed43b81-0255-4740-be2e-6b0082dff885.webp?v=1793046637","url":"https:\/\/dreamydesire.com\/products\/stallion-riding-crop-18","provider":"Dreamy Desire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
