Nettles!

Hello folks, it has been a while since my previous experience with nettles, which was with Northern Spanking a few years ago.  I recently spent a weekend with HH (which was fabulous by the way...I had too much fun, but still undecided as to whether I should share it), where we did a few scenes which were all exciting in their own way, but the scene with nettles excited me most.  Why?  I guess because there is still much novelty factor to it as it is not an 'implement' I have had used on me more than once before and because they are the ultimate stingy sensation that I love which lasts for hours afterwards.  I was squirming very uncomfortably in my seat on the train home afterwards, which I found truly hot!  So how can we use nettles and where?  I shall give you some ideas...

Nettles are lined on the stems and the underside of their leaves with thin, delicate hairs which break open when touched.  They do not sting you unless that touch has allowed the hairs to penetrate the skin, at which point they inject a tiny amount of poison under the skin.  Do note that sideways pressure breaks the hairs and can waste the sting (and we don't want that!).  Each sting may only sting you once, so the most efficient method is one that ensures the hairs go in to the skin with a straight alignment.

Nettles may be used to target small, delicate areas, such as genitalia, which I can attest firsthand is a glorious uncomfortable feeling.  They may also be used in the form of a birch, and this does do the job but wastes many of the stings...it depends on what you wish to achieve with your natural torture device!  Nettles can be used under other articles; they can be put into bras, knickers, underpants, tights, or other close-fitting gear. Nettles can also be used for control. This is a refinement of bondage, where the nettles are placed so that they are difficult, but not impossible to avoid.  Imagine a difficult position where your bottom is hovering precariously above a chair covered in nettles.  This technique could also be employed to encourage the sub to hold a position whilst being punished, too much squirming would result in being stung resulting in a further punishment!  

I am hoping that it needs no saying that you must check that your victim is not allergic to nettles.  This would not be good at all.  I love playing with new forms of torture, but what do you folks think about nettles and their use?  Personally I love the stingy sensation and the long lasting feeling that I get from them.  I hope to play with them again soon!
