Take the Lash?

What drives a man to take the lash on his bare back so that the whole world can watch, like our Shirtless Muscle Dude?  For me, it’s the idea that men throughout the ages have been forced to endure the whip as a form of punishment.  No choice was given to the offender:  an officer or judge simply ordered it and the man was seized up and flogged in public—acting as both a form of punishment for his offense and as a warning to his peers.

As free men, we have a choice.  And as such, I choose to understand through personal experience how a man feels while hard strokes are laid to the skin of his back.  From those experiences, I find the most intriguing part to be the fear of it.  It’s not so much a test of pain endurance, it’s a test of fear tolerance.  For example, if a man is taking a flogging and shouts out an established safety phrase to end the beating, it’s not to stop the pain from the previous stroke (he’s already felt that), it’s to avoid the pain of the next one.  In essence, he fears the pain of another lash. The test is: how many does it take to force him to shout out for mercy?  How many can you take?!

Don’t criticize a man who cries out in pain and uses an available escape route.  The fact that the man had the courage to take off his shirt and put himself to this public test should be proof enough of his daring.  If he comes back for more, that’s further evidence of his personal bravery.   It is the man who stands ready to announce the number of lashes he will take, without the easy escape of a safety phrase, and doing it for the world to see, that is truly bold and deserving of respect.  

Great Viewership

If you have had a chance to view our uploaded YouTube clips, you probably noticed that we have had over 10,000 views of our first video “Shirtless Muscle Dude Gets Whipped” in just the two months since we posted it.  Our second video, “Shirtless Punishment Whipping” has had over 3,000 views in just under three weeks!

We are very glad that people are enjoying watching us at our new hobby!  We are having a lot of fun with the actual test of endurance that is flogging, but also enjoy tinkering with technology and trying to make the production values (lighting, editing, etc) better over time.  We will be posting a new clip very soon.  And in an effort to give viewers what they want, we are conducting a poll on our YouTube channel site seeking input on which whip to use in our next session.  Please visit the WhippingDudes YouTube channel to register your preference between watching our Shirtless Muscle Dude 1) get flogged like a felon with the brutal prison strap or 2) taking a solder’s punishment with the cruel single-tailed quirt.  Feel free to make a note of your preference in the comments section of this blog post, too!

The Premier Blog on Whipping & Flogging

Thank you for joining the WhippingDudes blog.  I’m your host, Buddy Olive.  This blog exists to be a forum about the discipline it takes for a man to endure the traditional punishment of flogging.  Here you can join in the discussion, tell your story, comment on clips you have seen, or discuss the finer points of what drives a man to seek this unforgiving test.

The goal of the WhippingDudes blog is to become the premier blog on the subject of watching fit men take the lash on their bare backs—and discussing the floggings our readers have endured.  Right now, we have flogging clips uploaded to YouTube featuring our exclusive Shirtless Muscle Dude.  I encourage you to check out the clips—and subscribe to our WhippingDudes YouTube channel at  http://www.youtube.com/whippingdudes.  We will upload more clips periodically.

The endurance of a painful flogging is not only a uniquely masculine pursuit: it is also very enjoyable to watch.  Each man reacts differently as the pain mounts with every lash.  A muscular man you expect to stoically endure may break down within a few strokes, while a skinny swimmer may bear a full 50 lashes without so much as a whimper.  You can never predict the reactions of the next man that steps up to brave the whip.

Many people enjoy flogging and whipping in the sensual sense, in the privacy of their bedrooms with their significant other.  Here, we talk about the essence of flogging:  the pain and the bravery it takes for a man to strip off his shirt and commit to showing the world how he endures the lash.  From the cat o’nine tails, to the prison strap, the quirt, leather belts, and more, this blog is dedicated to describing, discussing, and understanding how a man takes it on his back.
