I haven’t fucked a woman since my wife, and that was ten years ago. The woman I see in my mind when I make these floggers isn’t really a specific woman but just… the next one I love. If I get to experience that again. If not, these pieces are accomplishments of their own—an admission of what I want. What I seek. What I need the next time I’m intimate. My marriage was beautiful, but the loss of Janie changed me. I need different things now, I have new needs.
