Straphanger

A state of the art dildo used for extreme sexual torture/pleasure. Similar to a drill-do

*In a sex dungeon
Dimly lit, a woman lays spread eagled and restrained, naked. Another woman stands besides her, beautiful, brunette and a blank expression on her face, she gently caresses her cheek
"You can stop this anytime, just tell want i need to know and I'll let you go."
The restrained woman shakes her head no, no form of torture could make her spill her secrets. The brunette stands up sharply
"Fine, I guess we'll have to this the hard way" she calls to her assistant in the dark corner
"Bring me the straphanger."
