That's true enough, but it's up to each sub to determine if they want to stop it or not. He didn't think missing a church meeting was important enough.
His career as the weekend service video director didn't go far. That person gotta be reliable. Maybe his other activities were more lucrative.
Like someone said, “Whatever you can think of, no matter how bizarre it may seem, I can guarantee it’s someone's fetish and there’s at least one web site devoted to it.” No judgement on the spanking folks, of course.
I'm on Fetlife. Lol. I posted some of them on my page. No bites through there. Good call though!
Cool looking Wood working or automotive mallets and cooking spoons/cutting boards might be a way to expand your business, possibly with personal engraving for an additional fee, of course.

I'd kill for some decent wood spoons, The crap you can find in stores isn't worth having. I found some from Germany that weren't too bad, made of olive wood, but they still aren't even close to what I want.
I bought some by a company called Typhoon years ago, really heavy duty shaped handles etc. Must be 20 years now and still going strong. Very like these 4 Piece Wooden Utensil Set
That doesn't do it for me. I want shaped spoons like a serving spoon or teaspoon blown up; I want a three dimensional curve to the handle. Then a couple more of the same sort that are longer for stirring pitchers.
Really deep 3D pieces use a lot of wood. Too much work for minimal return, IMO. At least for me, with the tools at my disposal.
I do want to do a cutting board, however. A nice, big, thick pro-level one. There are some amazing 3D-look cutting boards I've seen recently that are really trippy looking. That will be a future project at some point.
Here's my current paddle count. These all just got their second coat of oil this AM. they'll be done by early next week.

Premium spoons command premium prices. I don't think $25 a piece for four of them is asking too much.
Wow. That's dirt cheap for the work they'd need to carve and finish. Exotic wood custom-carved paddles like mine will go for anywhere between $50 to $150 for the real intricate and/or expensive wooded ones. Two of those are already spoken for: $75 for the Purpleheart one and $125 for the Padauk one
I guess my retirement has put me out of touch with current pricing.
Much like what us crazy bassists pay for ridiculously priced custom instruments (myself included), people in the kink community seek out hand-carved custom “instruments“ as well. That's been my experience, at least. Are many of those basses, and/or paddles actually worth the price? Usually no, IMO. Who am I to argue with capitalism though?
