The first punishment challenge is a 40 stroke ass whipping. Lady Ariel begins by delivering 10 lashes to Darcia before moving onto Artemis. Darcia struggles to maintain her composure throughout this initial 10 strokes. There's a lot of gasps and yelps during the beginning of the whipping. Unlike other Painful Duel films, Artemis stares off into space as she awaits her turn instead of watching Darcia struggle. Lady Ariel lashes Artemis and she cries out and tries to maintain her composure like Darcia. Next Lady Amanda whips Darcia. She must be a savage with the whip because the tears begin to flow. One of my favorite parts of this scene is watching Artemis start to cry before receiving her first stroke from Lady Amanda. Lady Amanda leaves both women in tears. Lady Ariel resumes whipping both ladies and they continue to cry and shake. I love how Lady Ariel repositions Artemis's ass for her strokes and how both doms mistakenly lash Darcia while whipping Artemis.

The next challenge is a pussy strapping. Plenty of tears and screams throughout this scene. Their bodies shake as if they are being shocked with many of the strokes on their pussies. Both Darcia and Artemis are left with red swollen pussies and tearful faces.

The finale is a beautiful arms over head whipping with both doms taking turns lashing each model. Both ladies buckle and cry out after each whiplash. The blows strike their asses and backs and both are left striped like zebras. As the whipping goes on, there is a continuous symphony of crying and moaning as the doms alternate lashing the subs. Both women looked exhausted and broken near the end. I love the anguish on their faces...beautiful.

Painful Duel 8 is great. I think it may have worked even better as a scripted women in prison film. The way that Darcia and Artemis took their first whippings, it made me think of female prisoners receiving a repeat punishment. They did not seem fearful or defiant. They seemed defeated and resolved to endure another whipping. The way that they laid there while the other sub was whipped didn't convey boredom to me. It suggested hopelessness and it would have been perfect for a prison camp or women in prison film. The pussy strapping scene was epic. The only deficiency was leaving their hands/wrists unbound. The last scene was also great. The only disappointment was that it was yet another full body whipping without any frontal whipping. Hopefully, we will one day see the models returned to St. Andrew's cross for frontal whipping.

Overall, I give this film an A-. I love Darcia's body and enjoy her as a sub. Lucy is my favorite sub but Darcia is probably a close second. I loved Artemis's reactions to the whipping. Both appeared to be in agony as the contest went on.

Ways that the film could have been better would be fewer strokes before alternating beating the subs in scene 1 and scene 2. I think that 10 strokes gives too much respite to the other model. Maybe 5 or 6 strokes before switching would be better. Bind the wrists during pussy punishment. Whip the breasts, thighs and abdomen during a full body whipping. Interviews between the scenes and allow the models to discuss their experience. Allow them to elaborate on the difficulty and pain.
