I love my feet. They aren’t the prettiest around, but I do think they look nice with painted nails, or in high heel shoes. My feet have taken a fair amount of abuse, since I used to dance (ballet among other things), and dancers aren’t the most careful with their feet. Blisters? Pop them, douse them with alum, and continue. Blood? A few Band-Aids will do. Ripped off a toenail or two? Grin and bear it. Plenty of soaking and rubbing afterwards often helped, but a lot of the pain, in the arch, ankle, and elsewhere, took a long time to go away.

I’m not huge into pain. I can take it on my ass with a crop or a flogger, and even my nipples like a pinch or two, but after enough abuse, my feet like to be pampered. No one, no how, will be hitting my feet with a cane, rod, paddle, or anything else that will make them hurt and me likely scream. And not a good scream.

I’ve seen it done in a few shoots on Kink (although I never knew the name for it, or that it was a specific kink, before this Kink Of The Week), but always in conjunction with caning on other parts of the body. After I looked it up, I found quite a few websites dedicated to the practice, and there’s even a fair number of videos on YouTube. Watching it doesn’t do anything for me, except to make me cringe a bit, because I can imagine how much it hurts.

Would I watch it at a public scene? Possibly, but it wouldn’t be a turn on. Would I do it? Hells no. It may be a turn-on for some, but definitely not for me. The only kind of bastinado I’ll get off to will be the music, with the drummer beating the drums with a stick.
