HARDER. The Master, swinging in his most relaxed, vigorous and powerful fashion, lays into Misha’s beautiful body with flogger, whip and tawse. Restrained in a web of chains, Misha suffers almost 200 biting blows that test his resolve. Unfettered, he rises to the Master’s final No Mercy for Men challenge of 100 lashes to close off the excitement. Misha collapses to the ground but a warrior is budding. He is absorbing his pain better than ever. He gets up on his own to suffer grandly on yet another day.
