Haven't had much of a chance to read messages these days, so I don't know if this one's been mentioned, but thanks to my friend V, I have learned that pickle grabbers make wonderful S&M toys.

These little devils look like a plastic thermometer case or a syringe with a button on the end. When you depress the button, four thin metal wires emerge from the other end of the case. Each wire is bent inward at the end, and as the wires emerge from the case they also spread apart. What you have when the button is fully depressed is an evil four-pronged metal claw which can be placed around a choice piece of flesh. Once the prongs are in position, you let up pressure on the button, and as the claw retracts into the plastic case, the prongs of the claw come close together and grab the skin. I found the sharp needle-like sensation to be rather terrifying and easier to handle on nipples than on labia.

After V. demonstrated the use of this evil little implement to Donald, Master Creative discovered that he could get very interesting reactions by using one around and _in_ the anus area. I, however, do not recommend them for that purpose. (shudder-grin)

You can find them in the kitchenware section of large grocery stores or in kitchen speciality stores.
