I'm naturally inclined to feel the same way. But, then consider the bondage equipment that is commonly used. Much of it is based on medieval torture equipment. The original designs, such as the Scavengers Daughter and St. Catherine's wheel where used not only to torture people but to kill them in a cruel and prolonged way. People can be sick puppies. All of this heavy talk leaves me thinking about implements on a lighter note. Who invented the strap on and what inspired them? The dildo was invented by a gynecologist. He treated when with "Hysteria" disorders with it. His patients came in on a regular basis and happily so. How funny is that?
