  Whip - LoveToKnow 1911
In English parliamentary usage, a "whip" is a member (or members) chosen by the leader or leaders of a political party for the special duty of securing the attendance of the other members of that party on all necessary occasions, the term being abbreviated from the whipper-in of a hunt.
The chief whip of the government holds the office of patronage secretary to the treasury, so called because when offices were freely distributed to secure the support of members, it was his chief duty to dispose of the patronage to the best advantage of his party.
He is assisted by three junior whips, who are officially appointed as junior lords of the treasury; their salaries are £1000 a year each, while the patronage secretary has a salary of £ 2000.

 Whipping of Slaves
The flesh on the back and limbs was beaten to a jelly -- one shoulder-bone was laid bare -- there were several cuts, apparently from a club, on the head -- and around the neck was the indentation of a cord, by which it is supposed she had been confined to a tree.
With steady hand and practised eye he would raise the instrument of torture, nerve himself for a blow, and with fearful force the rawhide descended upon the quivering flesh.
Whipping especially, when in some States disfranchised the party subjected to it, and rendered him for ever infamous before the law, was made the penalty for the most trifling misdemeanor.

 Welcome to our version of the online whip catalog
But remember, a whip may look bigger with a thicker handle, but if there is not enough fullness in the tails to visually offset the handle, the result will be a whip which lacks elegance and visual resolution.
If you like to whip with maximum impact, then the longer tail whips will deliver more force because of their additional weight and the fact that the ends of the tails will be traveling in a longer and, therefore, faster arc.
These whips are ideal for warm up however they also work beautifully midway through a scene as the density of the leather allows the Dominant to incorporate just a little bite.

I felt no awarenessof other people, no awareness of anything besides the whip-I didn't even consciously feel aware of Charles, there was just the whip-just the end of the whip and me. I felt calm and terrified in the same moment and nothing felt more important than not moving.
I knew it was Charles controlling that whip, but maybe because he was further away or something, I felt this communion with the whip, that I don't feel with other toys.
I think that if a person safeworded in a signal whip scene it would be from the _fear_ of the next stroke, not the pain, or maybe a fear of blood.
