For others, toys are part of BDSM play, especially spanking, and you can read about the intense strokes of a cane in "Getting It Right".

I see something in Jake Allen that no one else seems to. Most people will tell you he is a lost cause, but I think differently. Sure, he is rude and arrogant, curses a lot, and has a short temper like most fighters, but underneath all that I see a decent man. A man worth helping. A man worth loving. If he can just stop frontin' for one moment, then I feel I can help him to see that, too.
