I, Leatherback flogging the chest of a friend who goes by the nick of jeans_noshirt_and_whipped. I was using a home-made plastic dressage whip. A dressage whip is like a very thin cane with a short piece of whipcord attached, used for dressage (the training of horses). This one is much more severe than any available at your local tack shop. Actually, it’s a 27 inch section of fiberglass fishing rod with a 16” length of ¼” diameter plastic irrigation tubing as the lash. The tubing is shredded into three tails with very sharp edges. The damage to the flesh is quite apparent. However, there were no permanent scars left as a result. This scene took place on March 20, 2003.

2. LB-jnsaw02 M/M This clip was from the same scene as above but the whip was a bundle of nine ¼” plastic tubes shredded into a total of 27 sharp-edged tails. I refer to it as the “plastic scourge”.

Note: jeans_noshirt_and_whipped has kept very detailed diaries of each of his flogging experiences. See http://www.markofthelash.net/JNS&W_Diaries for an index list. This scene is discussed in the “Flogged by Leatherback” folder.
