Yes, one sometimes meets interested recipients when travelling.

I need to ask: Are people serious when they say they travel with an implement of correction?

Plag, I was serious.  Last November, I went to an all-male retreat.  Mostly gay men.  I figured who knows.  Some might be into spanking, so I took my little cheeky lexan along.

Remove spaces.  I didn't want to put an active link in this forum.

The smallest one is what I have for a travel paddle.

Actually, Salah, for that is his name, was wearing longish shorts.

Longish shorts to swim in?  Someone should tell him that is a good way to drown.  Least is best when swimming.  Think safety first, over modesty, tradition, religion and culture.

Ah yes! This is the country for leather..  But this town speciialises in baboosh which are made from soft leather.

Anyway, life is long.  I'm very happy sitting here in the shade beside the swimming pool with some cheese and fruit and a bottle of rozzay. I've done my twelve lengths. 

Now there is just one little boy in the pool wearing my goggles, which he politely asked to borrow using signs.  Is there a tashelheit word for goggles?

His mother comes occasionally to check on him.  But who would ever harm a child?

So, you have a cute little boy wearing your goggles and nothing else swimming around in front of you.  Lucky man.

I picked up my new tawse from the cobbler this morning.  I tried to post a picture but apparently it comprises too many megablites, whatever they are. I tried taking a new simpler picture just the tawse on a plain background and cropped to the essentials, but still no go.

Anyway, the tawse is disappointing because the leather used is soft and light in weight, like they use to make leather slippers. Even with maximum force it won't make much impact.

Sorry you didn't get the product you were expecting.  My tawse is thick leather, two layers sewn together for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. 

It is a shame you couldn't have picked out the leather beforehand.  Is it possible you could have more layers of leather sewn to your new tawse to stiffen it up?  If you could find a saddle and bridle leather worker.  They work with stiffer leather.  Possibly even a leather book binder?

I just have a nice, old-fashioned hairbrush.

A hairbrush would raise suspicion; I don't have much hair left!

Were you ever a scout?

Their motto being, "Be prepared."

Yes, but we were BOY Scouts back then!

I have a small, one cheek, 1/4 inch thick lexan as my travel companion.  Fits nicely in any travel bag.

I accidentally left my "travelling" cane behind in a hotel down near the desert. I've had it about 45 years: one of three I bought around 1978 in an antique shop near Lichfield in Staffordshire.

The shop owner was a corporal punishment enthusiast and kept a large number of canes concealed in an antique seachest, with a few on display to entice interest amongst old walking sticks in an umbrella stand.

The three I bought were about 3/8" thick and quite dense. I cut one down to about 24" so that it fits diagonally in my valise for to be my travelling cane. Well you never know when you might need it.

Anyway, I left it behind and I'm now up in the mountains far from the desert. (Although they say you can see both the Atlantic and the Sahara from the highest mountain top.)

So what can I do, travelling another month with no cane? Well they still have cobblers in Morocco. And the one in this town also makes babooshes (a traditional type of shoe, named presumably after a fanciful resemblance to a snail).

So this morning I googled for a photo of a two-tailed tawse and showed the cobbler / shoe maker the image, giving him some dimensions. The man suggested 60 dirhams (5 US dollars) - a lot when he would make you a pair of babooshes for a similar price.  But I didn't like to draw attention to myself by getting into lengthy bargaining . There were other customers in the shop including a gendarme having his gun holster repaired.  So I'll pay 60 dirhams.

My new tawse will be ready tomorrow, so I won't be at a loss when punishment is next called for.
