The crop...

Some people like the crop because it causes pain or whatever. Or it is seen as a tool that can only be used for punishments. i however, find the crop to be a security thing. Something that can be used anywhere, at anytime. i feel it is a safe way to keep me in my place, or bring me back when my mind drifts. It is used online a lot with me, and i do not see it being any different in real. Example being...If i was sitting in a room having a conversation and all off a sudden my eyes drift and i get quiet, a little tap of the crop on my shoulder or cheeks, or wherever One sees fit. Soft random caresses with the tip of the crop help relax my drifting mind. A crop does not have to be a harsh piece of equipment. It can be just as soothing as it can be painful. If You ever seen Rachel always having one in her hand, that is why. It was my suggestion years ago and it has done a lot for me. i am not exactly sure why i feel it soothing and why it keeps me secure in my place, but i do. Lol.
