Bamboo Skewers

The words below are those of a friend of mine explaining how these simple Asian eating utensils can be used by a clever sadist:

I have some I keep loose, in addition to some I have bundled at the top (blunt) end with some sort of black adhesive tape. (Maybe a group of 6 or 7?) I received the bundles at a holiday gift exchange many years ago as a “lazy top toy.”

The bundles I use most often singly or as a set to draw all the sharp little points across the recipient’s body, keeping most of the points either together or letting them splay out some. (It’s like a slightly more flexible, cheaper version of a Wortenburg pinwheel.) They can also be used as a percussive implement, like the head of a hammer, bringing all the sharp little points into some body part, pulling the bundle up again, then striking again close to the first landing point. I find that particularly effective on my pet’s nipples. These can also be used on the soles of the feet if one is feeling particularly sadistic. (I tied pet down first, and firmly anchored his penis between my legs so he couldn’t move much.)

The single skewers can be used to draw lines across the recipient’s skin (like a gentler version of the bundles) or used as the world’s tiniest canes. (My pet hates this.) Holding on to the blunt end, pull the tip back, then let it thwack into the target. I find this works fine on the genitals, notably the shaft, though the possessor of same will certainly notice and may not appreciate the attentions.

To be honest, I didn’t really see the point when I first received the “torture sticks,” as the giver of the bundled skewers called them. But I use them very regularly now.
