Status: offline 		Some words of wisdom on Caning:

Caning is the SM technique of consensually striking someone (most commonly on the buttocks).
Caning is often used by more experienced players  to achieve mutual pleasure.
Caning can be a severe punishment, and is used as a punishment in some countries today
Caning can be most pleasurable if performed properly by experienced Doms/Masters.
Safe words and signals are a definite must.

PROPER CARE OF CANES **********************************************

The cane should have three or more coats of varnish applied.
To keep canes healthy, once a year one should sand the tip, stand the cane in a vase of water overnight, and then varnish the tip.
Warped or bent canes can be straitened by wetting the outside and placing them between 3 stiff PVC pipes, and wrapping the pipes tightly around the cane while the cane dries for several days.
The ends of most canes split after several months,  they should be cut off cleanly, sanded and re-coated with 3 coats of varnish.


SELECTING A CANE **************************************************

Canes should be able to bend significantly.
Large diameter = deep pain. Small diameter = sharp pain.
Large diameter canes cause deep pain and leave deep bruising, while small diameter canes can split the skin with ease.
Canes should be clean and not have any splits or cracks.
Never use "new" or unvarnished canes.

CANING HINTS  *****************************************************

One should be able to bring the cane down in a straight line.
The bottom experiences two sensations with every stroke (nerves being compressed and then expanding). Thus, the strokes shouldn't go too fast.
Be sure the room isn't too cold.
A subject should be first warmed up with light strokes.
A circular  motion can be effective for rapid "warm-up" strokes. 
Slaves should relax their muscles in their butt to avoid later lactic acid buildup causing a deep ache.
Front of thighs can be caned.
Avoid striking the tail bone and the back of the knee.
The fold between the buttocks and thighs is termed the "sulcus," and can be quite painful when caned.
Holding the cane down after the stroke is applied - delays the second stage of pain.
Backhanded strokes may often land harder.
Crossing the welts left by the cane can cause the skin to split - caution!

  __________________ CAUTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------

Canes should not be used on multiple partners. Hepatitis pathogens on canes, are difficult if not impossible to kill.
Extra Zinc Vitamins - helps bruises heal.
Proper aftercare is essential - especially if the skin has been split. Triple antibiotic ointment should be applied to the area.

Be  SAFE, SANE, CONSENSUAL!  ENJOY!

In all seroiuosness I did once end up in hospital with an antibiotic having to be especially flown in. The wretched infection came from an antique cane and travelled up as far as my kidney and I was near to death by the time I went into casualty.

THEREFORE sterilisation is inportant I agree.
I use Milton, I don't know what it's equivalent is in US,

What is Milton made of?
Milton Fluid is made of an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite and 16.5% sodium chloride.
Milton Fluid with a red label is the original 1% sodium Phypochlorite and is only supplied to hospitals and health authorities.
Milton found in retail outlets is twice the strength at 2% sodium hypochlorite.  

Hypochlorites are known to be unstable. Is Milton any different?
Yes, the purification process during the manufacture of Milton ensures complete removal of all heavy metal ions, which would normally act as a catalyst to chemically breakdown many hypochlorites, causing instability. Therefore accurate levels of available chlorine can be obtained with Milton.  

Hypochlorite is bleach, which is toxic. Is Milton toxic also?
No. As stated above, toxicity in hypochlorites is due to the by-product of their
decomposition, sodium chlorate. With the heavy ions removed Milton decomposes into water and a small amount of sodium chloride (salt).    

What are the main properties of Milton?
Stability. Non Toxicity.  

It is known that Milton can be used as a disinfecting agent, but can it sterilise?
Milton will sterilise as long as the
requirements for chemical sterilisation with hypochlorites is carried out. These are:
(a) Scrupulous attention to pre-cleansing of
the item to be sterilised.
(b) Stability and lack of toxicity of the active agent.
(c) That the article to be sterilised is of a
material compatible with hypochlorite
and is so constructed that it can be
cleaned properly.
The Milton Method of cleaning bottle and teats incorporates these requirements.    

What is the difference between Sterilisation, Disinfection and Antisepsis?
Official publications give the following definitions: (ref. Collins, C. H. and
Lyne,P. M., 1976)

Status: offline 		10% bleach is potent, and can be quickly wiped away; anyway, if I am gonna do all that shit to a cane.... I can buy birch dowels about 18 cents a piece to the door, tincluding throw the  bad ones away, about a quarter to a half of them,  pound your ass until it breaks, (it has very non-capricoius splintering characteristics) and have more time available in my day to have my cock sucked, but then-------I am an extremely lazy bastard that adores blowjobs, ymmv.

Status: offline 		holy crap Ron...you know actual pertinent information other than the best way to get your cock sucked?   well, i knew it was in there somewhere...just had to let it out....

yes, alcohol is not enough to kill all the blood borne diseases, a 10% bleach solution is the way to go, and a 30 second soak in that 10% bleach solution...however...if you are really not sure or are playing with someone that is HIV or HepC positive, if a toy breaks skin...and it is a porus material - wood, even well varnished wood, leather, etc... and often if it is not, it becomes the bottom's toy if it is not already...and most bottoms i have met that are HIV and HepC pos that play casually will provide their own toys to play with

What about the tops?  Or s-types who are submissive sadists?

Are you talking about rattan here, or bamboo?  I agree that bamboo splits like crazy - of course, that's part of why I always recommend to NOT use bamboo.  But I've had several rattan canes for years (over 5), which have never split.  Once in a RARE while, one will break - but that is usually due to stress.

Agreed about the dual sensation, but why does that mean the strokes shouldn't go quickly?

Be sure the room isn't too cold.

OR, know the health history of the people you're playing with.

If you want to.

These things are "technically" called "rods" - though they're used in much the same way.

And - it doesn't.  They're not natural, most are not pourous...so cleaning and caution items are different.

i know...it was posted as be all and end all of caning - the technique...which uses canes and rods...a 10% bleach solution will clean all but a very porus rubber cane, unless there is an odd texture on any of the others, and then they would require soaking in such a solution or sticking them in a dishwasher or something like that...oh and they don't have to be varnished, obviously....

Of course "one cane, one ass" is the safest policy. Just remember it isn't necessarily  "one ass, one cane."

I agree with some of it.....not with most. I have been making my own canes now for years, only some of that information would apply.
