Digital LED and Fiber-Optic Kinky Play, With Poi

Hundreds more articles like this can be found
at the Kink Mentoring Archives… Spread the word!



Demonstrated at the 2014 Leather Fetish Ball in San Diego.  The goal was to put on a show that nobody had ever seen before.  Based on the screaming and commentary in the video, our mission was accomplished.  Before starting, I asked the lighting-guy to turn off ALL lights in the auditorium.  It took some convincing, but we got our wish.

We were wearing cheap light-up crap from the Dollar Store (all of it made in China).  We attached it with clear packing-tape.  Halloween season is a good time to hit the Dollar Stores in your area, for the battery-powered, light-up-in-the-dark stuff.

We started with regular, leather floggers with inexpensive fiber-optic toys attached.  Then, we went HARDCORE about halfway through:



Fiber Optic "Flame Whips”


David and I are demonstrating Three-Beat Weaves at the big event, in front of 300 astonished people.  
Full video is here - YouTube version is here. It starts getting VERY interesting at 2.5 minutes. 
Watch for Sir David (green harness) doing a 4x4 Fountain, right before the 4-minute mark.
We didn't practice onstage beforehand, which is why I was losing the war with the curtain, in my PINK harness!



Hardware, Explained

No, there are no actual "flames" involved.  Each flogger is a bundle of fiber-optics, attached to a flashlight handle that has at least two dozen programmable modes.  

Do NOT do this to somebody's bare skin, unless they are a serious Pain Pig.  If I am demoing on an average person, I make them wear a vest!  The fibers are sharp and painful, like many single-tail whips at once!



Where to get the toys… 

This is BETTER (and less expensive) than what we used onstage at the Leather Fetish Ball:



This is what I recommend getting, because the default fibers are too stiff by far, and too long, usually.  the 6-footers are unbelievably unusable.



Technical Poi

Polynesian Poi Dancers at a Luau

Florentine-style moves have a long, LONG history OUTSIDE of the kinky scene.  There are many HUNDREDS of techniques that are part of the ancient art of "Technical Poi".  Here is a wonderful video that shows the potential for wowing the hell out of folks when performing in public.

Some other two-flogger moves that can impress your friends at the next Kinky Play Party (preferably with a high roof, and some lit-up toys):

Two-Beat Weave
Three-Beat Weave (in case the instructions above don't work well for you).
Four-Beat Weave
Five-Beat Weave
Seven-Beat Weave (great for young, flexible types!)
4x4 Fountain (alternate tutorial)
