When Billie asked what a strappado was I would have told her but thought it would be much for enjoyable to show her. With a a new hardpoint installed and rope in hand I led her to the basement for one some one on one instruction. I start by pulling her arms up high and let her feel things out. Not surprisingly she took to her first lesson like a champ. So well in fact I skipped to the next lesson and added a tight crotch rope tether. Moaning an tugging at the ropes, her helplessness was truly sinking in. For the final lesson I tie her legs together and around her neck forcing her arms up even higher. Balance is difficult now but lucky for Billie, that strappado will hold her up until at least the end of the lesson. Maybe longer.
