May 8, 2004 I was flogged indoors in Ben Lomond, California by two people. I had planned for some time to be flogged by Al ( Yahoo ID= leatherback80 ). Now, Al had been saying all along that when I came for my next flogging, he would have a nice surprise for me. Well, two weeks before the event, he broke the secret to me. He had arranged for Lady Darque ( Yahoo ID= joyfulsubmission ) to join us and both would flog me! Upon hearing that news I was both thrilled and terrified. I'd always wanted to have two people lash me at the same time, but now that it was arranged, I wondered what I was getting into. In the intervening two weeks I had moments of excitement, mixed in with second thoughts. The day before it happened I was uneasy, no, scared to death was more like it. On the day of the flogging, I was shaved on my back and chest. This was both to increase my sensitivity to the lash and to make the marks show up better. Then I was stripped to the waist and cuffed to chains hanging from the cieling. With Al standing behind me on the right and Lady behind me on the left, they started out with floggers giving me alternating strokes to my back. The first 56 were moderate, with the intensity gradually increasing. Then 40 heavy lashes were laid on in alternating fashion. Then, while Al stepped away to take some photographs, Lady laid on 58 or 59 deliberate, hard strokes. Then some music was turned on and Al followed with 19 more and then Lady with 10 more. I believe at this point Lady picked up a more severe whip and gave me about 14 "teaser" strokes, where only the tips of the tails hit my back. Then she really laid on 9 hard ones. This whip was a lot more painful than the previous. She then moved in front of me and Al behind me and they gave about 40 lashes to my chest and back, first in alternating fashion and then simultaneously. (you haven't lived until you get hit in the chest at exactly the same time as you get it in the back!) It was quite intense to say the least. I think Al was also using a more severe whip by this time. Then Al laid 8 on my back and Lady gave 7 on my chest. At this point, both started moving delicate objects like lamps and clocks out of harm's reach, so I knew they were about to go at me big time. Lady laid on 34 hard ones on my chest and then Al joined her and both were flogging my chest for the next 38. Al then moved behind me to work on my back with Lady doing my chest for the next 42 lashes. Al continued solo on my back for another 10. This whip he was using sure had a severe bite. While Al sprayed my back with water and wiped the blood off, Lady laid 47 more on my chest. Some lashes were laid on to wrap around my sides and then bite into my back with extra force. Al then went to work on my chest and Lady on my back for 66 lashes. They could tell I was well beyond extreme pain at this point and they held a cup to my lips so I could drink some fruit juice. Then they laid 43 lashes on my front and back randomly, in no particular order. I believe Al was using a 3-tail tawse at this point and it really stung my chest like hell. By this time, I was feeling "the shakes" where I could feel my shoulders and arms shuddering, and then I could almost feel my legs shaking. I don't think it showed, but I could sure feel the sensation, and felt that I was weakening. I gave the signal that time was nearing to start the finale. To finish me off, 20 lashes between Al and Lady were delivered with cats, one of which was knotted, and then 10 with a plastic scourge laid on my back and also some wraps to make me bleed some more. Before being let down, alcohol was sprayed on my back and chest and some still photos were taken. Wow! I don't think I have ever had as intense a flogging as this! I'd had wraps on both sides and from back to front and front to back, and I have some nice bruises from them. I am not complaining though. All in all it was a beautiful experience. And I can tell you Lady Darque laid them on just as heavy as Al, sometimes heavier. From watching the video afterward, I know that I took over 570 lashes. Some were light "teasers", some were moderate to hard, and some were very severe, where they put all their strength into flogging me as hard as possible.
