I top because I get off on giving other people as much pleasure as they can stand. Never let there be doubt that the bottom is the powerful one in any scene (or should be, in any sane scene). The bottom is calling the shots, through reaction, sigh and scream.

I have flogged girls until my arm was sore. I have experimented with patterns, with figure eights, with varying the quickness and the depth of the blows. Flogging is a fine art; you have to know your bottom's ass like the back of your hand, know where you can hit safely and where you can't land the blows. No kidneys, inner thighs only with care and gentleness. Then there's the problem of wrapping the tip with a carelessly placed blow. That can draw blood if you're hitting hard enough.

The high thus attained is remarkable. It's like drugs, it's better than drugs. When I'm topping, my vision clears and my entire world is invested in my bottom, my partner in the pleasure and pain I'm creating.

I can be forceful, I can be mean, I can occasionally be cruel if the situation calls for it.
