The pillory is a cruel instrument and its main objective is to shame and humiliate the slave, locked into it. In BDSM porn the pillory is often depicted as an instrument, in which to lock a slave for whipping. That is a very bad idea.
The last thing you want is the slave moving about in all sorts of directions as she is being whipped or otherwise trained, because of the serious risk of neck (and wrist) injuries. You want the slave to remain still while she is subdued to all sorts of humiliation. Which is exactly the point of the instrument. The slave locked inside cannot escape humiliation. And as such the instrument offers a wide variety of doing just that: verbal humiliation, doing all sorts of horrible things to her and don’t forget the other (bank) end of the instrument (as well as the slave).
Her behind is open to invasion, either anally or vaginally. Again, she cannot escape this fate and that is the whole point.
The other thing about the pillory is that her eyesight – even when not blindfolded – is limited. She can not, or not fully, see what happens behind her. This is a reason what NOT using a blindfold is actually a good idea. Limited eyesight is far worse than none. If the eyesight is totally blocked, there is no reason to try and see what happens anyway and the slave will concentrate on other senses, most importantly the ears. If however there is still eyesight, she will remain trying and as a result will funnel less concentration to her ears. The result is probably obvious.
Of course this doesn’t mean you should not introduce her to any form of physical torment, as long as that is relatively mild (such as nipple play) and it is absolutely clear to the slave she will have to remain still and simply bear whatever is being done to her.
Trained slaves can handle being whipped when in a pillory, simply because they have learned to remain still. Novices may not – and probably will not – be able to do that and besides, their behavior is still very unpredictable. They simply need more experience (and training) first.
In itself the instrument will soon become a form of physical fatigue as a result of the strain on the back, neck and shoulders and having to spend some time in a pillory can actually become a very painful and demanding experience.
In clubs and on parties a pillory is often used to expose a slave to physical (sexual) inspection by others as a form of exhibition and public degradation.
And quite a few doms – when provided with that opportunity – will use a pillory as an introductory instrument – i.e. they will give the securely locked sub a lecture about what is to follow later.
Another excellent idea is to use the pillory for what is was designed for: humiliation. Dripping cold water over her head, finally throwing that cake, giving her a horrible make up, all these things should by no means be excluded. The possibilities are virtually endless.
