Stinging Nettles ?

Obviously I am going a little bit out there with this one, but I am wondering has anyone had any experience of S&M play with Stinging Nettles.

Firstly as a painful but tickly experience in itself, and secondly as a primer for making the body more sensitive to tickling.

I have found a couple of links as such but would be interested if anyone has any actual experience in this area.

A very good way to mess a sub up if you do not know what you are doing. (Or if you do, and it's your goal)

Plant life is especially nasty to use as whips/flails etc, as nettles, thorns and such are designed to catch and get under the skin. Lots of tearing, and blood is the usual result. Often bits of plant stay behind and need to be tweezed out.

This is one of those areas that is a lot more fun in stories and such unless you are into blood play, and causing some serious long term marking on your playmate.

No I think you are confusing this here. I am not talking about using Thorns as whips (of course that would draw blood). Instead I am talking about the use of common garden Stinging Nettles as a brush stimulant/irritant.

Isn't that more of an itching and scratching fetish? I don't know anything about it but I'm guessing that that's the sort of thing they do.
