Brunch Recap

Thanks to all of the participants for another great MBS Sunday Brunch. I knew you folks were good, but you surprised me again with your depth of insight and clarity of analysis.

Let me offer a personal welcome to Rose and Caia. I’m delighted you joined us!

Question: How do spankings benefit you, your partner, and your relationship?

Linda: For Mark and me, spanking is mostly used as foreplay. Over the years, however, we both realized there was so much more to it than just the simple act of "spanking." The trust, respect and love shared between the two of us has strengthened our relationship and given us a foundation to build on. It takes a great deal of trust to allow someone much larger and stronger than myself to hold me down and wield a strap, cane, paddle, etc. and not actually "hurt" me. By the same token, he has to trust me enough to be honest with him and let him know when something is too much or just not working for me. One of the most important benefits is open and honest communication.

We have both found that spanking is a great stress reliever for both of us and has also become a need for me to cleanse myself.

Very recently we were faced with a situation in which Mark actually used spanking as a punishment. In 23 years together, we had never gone beyond the "bedroom". When the opportunity presented itself, as hard as it was for both of us, we knew it was right. Our marriage was strong before, but honestly since that day, our relationship has taken yet another leap and the bond between us has solidified even more because of it.

The benefits for both of us go way beyond sexual gratification. Something I don't think Mark and I ever expected. :)

Mike: For my wife and me, it's about foreplay. Spanking for us started as something that was erotic, a little different, kinky, and it spiced things up. Now it's moved past that and it's about enjoying each other, pushing each other, and, I guess, play. It's fun. It’s still very erotic, yet complex enough to keep our imaginations active in relation to our sex life.

To me, the act of getting spanked is very erotic. But, not so much the actual act of spanking someone. My wife enjoys being spanked, among other things, so the erotic part of spanking her is knowing that I'm giving her pleasure. I believe it's pretty much the same for her. So for us, it's giving the other person something they enjoy.

Marcus: I will start by saying a spanking (giving or seeing) titillates me. Having a woman's bottom on my lap (my favorite position) gives me an opportunity to apply heat to her seat, and also to move my fingers elsewhere to perform further effects on her.

It's never been about discipline for me, possibly because the spankings I got as a child did little to discipline me. I also have this serious fear of ever hurting a woman, so to me, spanking is all about the eroticism. Spankings tend to get the women more physical with me afterwards.

AngelBrat: Spanking sets me back on an even keel like absolutely nothing else. When I'm hurt, when I'm angry, when I'm stressed, when I'm just being a flat out bitch, a hard spanking is the one thing that will take me back to where I need to be. The fact that Nick is willing to do this for me has made me fall even more in love with him.

Discipline definitely comes into play for us as well, and a spanking resolves things quite well for both of us. I find myself finally able to let go of the guilt for whatever I did that's come between us, and he's satisfied that I'm clear on the fact that what I did was actually wrong and harmful to us. Once I've been spanked, there's no bringing the incident that led to it up again.

Tigger: Spanking is completely sexual for my husband and me. I had always been fascinated with getting spanked ever since I read my first historical romance novel as a teenager. There was always something so hot about a guy putting a girl over his knee for a well-deserved spanking, and I used to fantasize about spanking constantly.

I wanted to give it a try for years, but never felt comfortable enough with a guy to bring up the subject, until I met my husband. With him, I knew I could share my most intimate fantasies, and still can.

When we were first dating, the spankings were nothing more than little light pats on the bottom, both of us too new to the whole thing. But then, as we both got more comfortable with spanking, he started putting me over his knee more and more, and we began adding implements, such as the hairbrush, several types of paddles, a strap, and most recently, a bathbrush, to our repetoire as well. And while we don't use spanking as a form of discipline per se, I've recently started to get spanked for being "naughty!" If I act a little fussy, he simply tells me to put the misdeed on my "Why I Should be Spanked" list. I pout a little, but do as he asks, knowing that a spanking was just what I was angling for the whole time!

As you've guessed, spanking is an incredible turn-on for both of us! Just the very idea that I'm going to get a spanking is enough to make me melt! I can't deny that I like the submissive aspect of it, and my husband has said that he'd be lying if he didn't admit that there's something arousing about being dominant.

As for how spanking benefits out relationship, it has helped us communicate better, not only in the bedroom, but outside of it as well. And though I'm not sure exactly how, it has also made us closer as a couple.

Cuddlybum: I just wrote a long post about this on my blog.

Spanking started out as a sexual, kinky thing. It added a bit of spice to an otherwise great sex life. It’s become more than that now. It brings us closer together, lets us (both!) release tension in a slightly better way than throwing things and screaming!!

The spanking itself is always an experience. It doesn't matter what it’s for! If its a foreplay thing, it makes the sex that bit more intense. If it’s for release, the aftermath makes us feel closer and more intimate than ever. It builds trust both ways. It takes down another block in our respective walls each time. It bonds us together.

I don't think we'd still be together or be as close without this aspect of our relationship. It allows us to talk about difficult things, to talk about things in a slightly calmer manner, to say potentially hurtful things in a safe environment. Most of all, it makes me feel safe. Wrapped in my beloveds arms after a spanking, is the safest place in the world to be.

Rivka: For me spanking is a motivational tool, both discipline and erotic. The idea of spanking is a turn on all in itself. The actual act just pushes me over the edge. True disciplinary spankings are a deterrent for specific acts. Therefore, I feel it helps me to avoid things I really don't want to do.

My partner benefits from it by an incredibly strong response from me. *g* Either way (discipline or erotic), he's going to get results that please him. As far as the erotic, he gets just as turned on by the idea of giving that sort of spanking as I do receiving it.

Our relationship has become amazingly strong and closer because of spanking. Sharing that same desire has made us open up more than ever before. We've learned more about each other and about what's pleasing to one another through breaking down communication barriers as a direct result of having a "spanking lifestyle." ;)

Bonnie: For us, it's difficult to separate the benefits of the spankings from those of the lovemaking that inevitably follows. These are wrapped up so tightly that they feel like two halves of the same activity. I will therefore consider both together.

During a spanking, my benefits include sexual arousal, feelings of warmth and closeness, physical contact, a sense of being truly alive, undeniable confirmation of our love, stress relief, fulfilling my desire to submit, a breaking down of barriers, and a redefinition of limits.

After the spanking, I enjoy somewhat different benefits including "rebooting" my emotions, calmness, promoting a feeling of connectedness, a regaining of perspective, feeling loved, improved communications, and re-establishment of the appropriate order of things.
Randy listed as his benefits fun, great sex, making me happier, and a genuine display of love.

In terms of our relationship, I would count everything above, plus bringing us closer as a couple.

Anon #1: Spanking for us is both erotic and discipline. I don't remember a time since we are married that Bill didn't spank me. It makes me feel loved, secure, and cherished as well as sexual. Bill feels in control, my protector, my champion and my lover (his words). For us as a couple, the feelings of warmth and openness are great. We talk about everything because we know that nothing we can say will be a shocker. There is a great deal more trust than there would be in a vanilla marriage. We love spending every minute we can get together. We both think that spanking has added a dimension to our life as a couple.

Anon #2: Sadly, spankings don't benefit our relationship. In the early years of our marriage there were lots of spankings. But then middle age took its toll. I remain a spanking fetishist but my wife does not. So spanking is a cause of a lot of friction and unfulfilled desire.

Rose: Spankings, for me, reboot my inner self. They force me to let go of the shit I've been holding onto, relieve stress, and definitely strengthen the emotional bond with my partner. Great sex always follows. The time in subspace is glorious and the marks and stinging that my partner leaves me with are constant reminders to me of his care for me and desire to spend time with me. It's such a healing thing for me....being spanked, caressed and hugged as I cry out the garbage.

Caia: Spankings for us are both erotic and disciplinary. The erotic benefits are well, erotic! As for the discipline ones, I agree with what some of the others said. They help me to let go when I'm stressed, upset, angry, or what have you. If I'm stressed, then so is he. The spankings benefit us both by giving the stress or upset an outlet. So, we can come back to each other and reunite.

Carrielilly: To me, spanking is a great release of both tension and increased guilt. It is also a great way to express my submission to my husband. Lowering my panties and placing myself in postion to have my bottom spanked. Oh my, there's nothing like it. It has dramatically improved our relationship sexually, physically, emotionally. . . all the way around! Oh and it's a great way to move past tension in our relationship.

SmartnNaughty: When I am spanked, the first benefit is that I know My Guy cares enough about me to spank me. It is my thing and I introduced him to it. He does like it, but first and foremost he is fulfilling something that I have only dreamed about for most of my life.

As I go through my days after a hard spanking, I can feel the results when I sit down and stand up. It is like the love of the spanking follow me around wherever I go.

The spanking brings us to a very intimate place afterward while we are cuddling. I feel like My Guy can look right into my very soul and see who I am. I feel very loved at this point and accepted for who I am. Being spanked and loved is something we alone share. Sure I blog about it but words can't express what we share.

I don't necessarily feel submissive right away. Yes, I feel loved and I look up to My Guy, but I could still be feisty if I wanted. Later in the day, however, submission deepened for me and I found myself feeling submissive in general, even to other authority figures.

My Guy would say he has an outlet for dealing with issues before they affect the relationship. It enhances communication and doesn't let resentment and unresolved issues drive us apart. A benefit for me is that I am clearly reminded that I am not responsible for everything. My Guy and I are a team and he is the leader. I don't have to shoulder the burden alone any more. I don't have to have all the answers and I can go to him and ask him for his thoughts. It is a wonderful and freeing thing. The benefits are just too numerous to name, even if I could.

What else can I say? Magnificent! Thank you all.

Update: Trish posted a thoughtful response on her blog. For a unique and valuable perspective, I invite you to check it out.

A Healthy Glow

This is a story I recorded several years ago. It describes my first spanking after an extended layoff. I had had emergency surgery just before Christmas and it took a very long time for me to feel good again. As you will see, this event definitely helped!

I got my wish last night! I hadn't received a good, hard spanking since my surgery last month. My husband didn't want to give me much more than a gentle warming because he was afraid he might hurt me. Yesterday, I visited my doctor and received a clean bill of health. For Randy's benefit (and mine too!), I had him write a brief note explaining his findings (I told him it was for work).

Randy arrived home around 8:30 last night. Our daughter was conveniently 'studying' at a friend's house. I met him at the door. I was wearing my big winter robe (with nothing underneath but a lacy pink nylon thong). Before he even removed his shoes, I embraced him and gave him that unmistakable lover's kiss. A bit startled, he said, "Am I to assume we're feeling better?" "Oh, yes" I whispered. While he shed his winter layers, I went to retrieve two items I had stashed in the kitchen - my note and our dogleg hairbrush. I dropped the brush into my big robe pocket.

We met in the hallway. I proudly presented Randy with a note the doctor had written. He read it for an inordinately long period of time as if he were rereading to ensure he didn't miss any nuance. Finally, he looked at me and said in a very even voice, "OK, that's good enough for me. Let's go." With that he took my hand and he headed upstairs. On the landing, about halfway up, I stopped and turned to him. I removed the brush from my pocket and handed it to him handle end first. As he accepted the brush, a smile crossed his face for the first time. Right there on the landing, he lifted my robe. I believe I heard a gasp as he felt my thong.

Randy stopped to caress my bottom for a minute or two. Then he delivered about half a dozen hard swats with the brush. Yeow! The question about whether one's rear is toughened by regular spankings was settled, at least in my mind. I was clearly out of practice. When he finished, we kissed passionately as our hands roamed freely. It was now time to continue our fun in the bedroom. Being the gentleman that he is, Randy allowed me to proceed up the steps first. He encouraged me to hold my robe up around my waist. Along the way, he commented about enjoying the view.

Once in the bedroom with the door safely closed, we immediately took up the job at hand. Randy had me remove my robe and lie on the bed face down. I was very excited already. What he did next surprised me. He grabbed a pair of my pantyhose and used them to tie my wrists behind my back. We've done this before, but it's been a while. The restraint is more symbolic than real. I know I can ask him to stop at any time and he will. Nevertheless, it's a tangible expression of my surrendering control to my dear husband. By this point, I was so jazzed, he could have anything he wanted.

He allowed me to lie there for a few moments, presumably to ponder my fate. Finally, the first swat landed on my left cheek. It was full strength. I yelled "ow!" (or something like that). I struggled against the bonds as he methodically proceeded to deliver a first rate spanking. He alternated sides focusing most of his attention on my sit-spots. There was absolutely nothing half-hearted about this spanking. Randy obviously believed the doctor's note. My bottom stung like crazy, but there was no way after so long that I was going to ask him to quit. Eventually, though, he did stop. I lay there silent and drained. Randy spoke first as he rubbed my throbbing orbs, "Wow, I hope I didn't overdo it. Are you OK, Bon?" "Yes" I said with conviction, "I'm more than OK."

Upon hearing these words, he freed my wrists and helped me up. He quickly removed his clothes to reveal that uniquely male expression of readiness. I too was now well prepared for the lovemaking to follow. Just to make certain, he removed my thong and then applied his mouth to a most delicate locale. Before long I was writhing with pleasure and anticipation. Mutual fulfillment soon came as he took me from behind. As he did this, he massaged my glowing bottom with his thumbs. At that moment, it could not have been clearer that I was both well loved and well spanked. I was enveloped with bliss.

When it was all over, we happily lay in bed with arms and legs entangled. I felt warm and safe beside my man. He satisfies my soul. That's one of many reasons I will always love him.

Last night was more than I had hoped and all that I had dreamed. It doesn't make up for Christmas and New Year's and all the rest, but it was a nice down payment. I'm a bit sore today, but I don't care at all. In fact, it provides a nice reminder of a wonderful evening. It's good to have things back to normal!

Recap: The Open Mike Spanko Brunch

Our open mike spanko brunch was a tremendous success. I want to offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated. The responses were insightful and thought-provoking. I’m so impressed, in fact, that I want to summarize them here on the front page for the benefit of readers who might just be passing through.

Before I do, though, I would like to welcome Mary to My Bottom Smarts. You sound like a kindred spirit. I’m glad you’re here!

Question: Do you love your spankings? Do you hate them? Both or neither? Do you wish for spankings? Or do you pray to avoid them?

Linda: I love it when Mark is really into it. He gets all dommy and stern and doesn't allow me to wimp out. He holds his ground with me and at the same time is lovingly reassuring.

Tigger: I love getting spanked and my hubby loves spanking me. For us, it's definitely sexual.

KK: I enjoy each and every swat I get and sometimes I crave them. If it has been a while between them, I miss them very much. I know that they are what I need in my life. I am glad to have someone that will give them to me and not think I am crazy for loving them so much. I enjoy a red ass.

Danielle: I really need spankings and can't live without them anymore. Very strange, because I did live more than 30 years without any thought of spanking.

Rivka: I do love spankings... very very much. Even the discipline ones (although, NOT while they're actually happening).

Sassy: I both love and hate my spankings. More importantly, I NEED them. They give me balance and make me feel safe. It is imperative that I receive consistent discipline spankings. It is only then that I can enjoy the erotic or lighthearted ones. Without the foundation of the discipline, the others only lead to frustration.

Mike: I love the spankings that I get and give. With my wife and I, it's all about erotic spanking. I'm the one that started it in our relationship, but she's joined in.

Janeen: I'd have to say it's a love/hate relationship with the discipline ones, but the erotic ones are always fun.

Pinkcheeks: From erotic spankings to discipline spankings to quick swats on the bottom as "reminders," Hubby and I know the importance of DD in our lives, and how much it enhances our relationship.

Padme: I have a love and hate with the discipline spankings. But the erotic ones are lovely and center me and bond me with Master Anakin...

Mary: I LOVE spankings. Unlike some, we do not use spankings as punishment (I guess I'm just too much of a pain slut). Though there may be playful threats of "punishing the naughty girl," the spankings are for me because I simply enjoy being spanked. I most definitely wish for them and have at times been known to beg for them.

Cuddlybum: I love them. And now I'm off to try and weasel my way into another one tonight!!!! Good, good question!

Bonnie: There’s only love here. Nothing stokes my fires like a few good slaps across the derriere.

Question: What makes a good spanking for you? Or is that phrase an oxymoron?

Linda: A good spanking is one that both myself and my husband are into at the same time. It's not as effective if only one of us is into it and the other is only appeasing.

Tigger: What makes a good spanking? For me it starts with the anticipation. The thought of knowing I'm going to get a spanking turns me on almost as much as the act itself. Especially when my hubby gives me that sexy grin of his! Then it's onto the main event, which is usually over my husband's lap on the bed (my favorite position) and always starts with a warm-up. Sometimes, I have panties on for this, sometimes not, but either way, it's wonderful! Then, little by little, the spanks get harder (no more than I can take, of course, but most times, I can take a pretty hard spanking) until I'm so aroused that I'm wiggling around and begging for him to touch me. At which point he does, but only just enough to tease me before I get spanked some more. Since spanking is erotic for us, it's always followed by incredible sex! Mmmm, there's nothing better than making love while my bottom is still hot and stinging!!!

Rivka: No, I don't think a good spanking is an oxymoron at all. For me, there are both good erotic spankings *and* good discipline spankings (just don't ask me in the midst of it).

In my opinion, a good erotic spanking is a mind trip - it alternates constantly between varying, opposite sensations (slap-rub, pinch-kiss, fast-slow, etc...). However it happens, it's a combination of pain and pleasure.

A good discipline spanking is memorable and lasting. It's one that is long enough to break through resolves and truly "get the point across." After it's completely over, it involves (for me) aftercare. It’s a point of reconciliation.

Mike: A good spanking is simply one we both enjoy. A great spanking, for me, is when my boundary starts to get pushed, but not enough to get in the way of immediately moving on to other activities.

Marcus: One of my favorite spankings I gave had my girl on my lap cuddling. She was wearing my button-down shirt and nada else. She was getting goofy and bratty, and so I gave her a swat. She nibbled my ear. I gave her another swat. More nibbling. Pretty soon she was breathing hard and my hand was still working her cheeks. She never left cuddling me in my lap throughout the spanking. It's amazing how black and blue a bottom can get from a hand spanking though.

Eyes Downcast: At this point I will take whatever kind of spanking my husband would give me! :-)

Little One: A good spanking to me is any spanking that I receive from my Guy. They may be too few and far between at the present time, but any I receive from him are full of love. Of course, our erotic spankings are by far the crème de la crème. :)

Mary: What makes it good? I thrive on the endorphin rush - being pushed just a little farther than I can go and ending up in a happy subspace. I like it hard; I like marks. I absolutely LOVE how hot and horny he gets spanking me.

Cuddlybum: Spankings are for fun, foreplay, stress relief..... we don't do punishment spankings - well my beloved doesn't do them – I sometimes ask for a spanking if I'm feeling really bad about it and want to wipe the slate clean so to speak.

But the most important part of any spanking for me is the cuddling afterwards. I always get cuddled afterwards regardless of what the spanking is for!! AND yes, mostly there's sex involved as well, even in the stress relief ones - and my God is it hot after!!!

Bonnie: Here are my ten elements of a good spanking.

Question: How do spankings make you feel? Satisfied? Contrite? Romantic? Or just plain sore?

Linda: Sometimes I need to feel punished and dominated to the point of completely losing control but for the most part I just love the closeness and warmth I get from Mark spanking me before we make love. I think he loves the way I become during and after, I'm not only very agreeable but thankful as well.

Tigger: How do I feel after a spanking? I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say I was usually a little sore. But in a good way, if that makes sense. And of course, I also feel very satisfied, not to mention extremely loved. I'm not really sure why I like being spanked, though. Like Linda, I like the submissive aspect of it, I suppose. And I completely agree with her about spanking making a couple feel a closeness and love.

Danielle: Erotic spankings have spiced and increased my sex life. I feel wanted and loved and very satisfied afterwards. Spanking for stress relief is a must. All problems are gone or I can cope with them. Punishment spanking is a rare phenomenon. But when I'm in tantrum there's only one way, the old-fashioned. Afterwards I feel liberated; everything is forgiven and forgotten.

Rivka: Spankings make me feel... all of the above. It would be a lie to say they don't HURT or make me SORE as heck... but at the same time, in any case, I'm very satisfied. Usually it's a major turn on for me (even after discipline spankings) and so I'm definitely feeling sexy and romantic. Sometimes... I do simply feel resolved after a discipline session. But not too often.

Little One: I’m almost always left sore from a spanking. If not, I think I feel I missed out on something. The aftercare from any spanking is almost just as sweet as the spanking itself, be it just him soothing my scalded bottom with his soft, soothing, loving hands, or if it’s sweet and gentle, or hot and frantic love making. They all go hand in hand and one wouldn’t be complete without the other.

Pinkcheeks: From erotic spankings to discipline spankings to quick swats on the bottom as "reminders", Hubby and I know the importance of DD in our lives, and how much it enhances our relationship. *smile*

Mary: How do spankings make me feel? Horny as heck! They always end in good sex.

Carrielilly: I was thinking that spankings make me feel... well all of the above. satisfied, check. contrite, check. romantic,(um more like horny but yes :) check. However, very rarely really sore. CD likes to say that I have an ass of steel. My ass doesn't mark very much and usually the day after I'm pretty much back to normal. We do punishment spankings (more for me than for him) maintainance spankings, and erotic gg spankings (oh yum my absolute favorite!)

Bonnie: It’s a tremendous turn on! I’m ready for love.

Although we may participate in spanking for a variety of reasons, we all find the experience rewarding and beneficial in some fashion. That's what keeps us coming back for more.

I appreciate these excellent contributions. Thank you all!

So, would anyone like to share another spanko brunch next Sunday?

A Brush with Greatness

The foolishness seems to have died down a bit. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

The hairbrush is often the implement of choice at our house. Some love it, others hate it, but to me, a good brush might be the ideal spanking tool.

The brush works at many levels. The simplest and most obvious impact is upon the buttocks of the recipient. Each strike is accompanied a resonating thwack. This is an insistent sound that informs all within earshot that someone's bare seat is being thoroughly toasted.

A split second later, the recipient feels a searing sting that grows into a continuous warmth as the swats accumulate. Make no mistake, it hurts to have a hairbrush forcefully and repeatedly applied to your naked bottom. But the pain is just one aspect of the spanking experience.

No sooner than the brush makes contact, the recipient's skin begins to blush. A gentle pink quickly morphs into a dark red as the spanking progresses. With the crimson glow comes a noticeable heat. If the session is administered properly, both the color and the temperature should remain long after the brush is put away.

The rising heat generated by the hairbrush serves to liberate a different sort of warmth. In some mysterious way, the incessant smacking of a brush against two exposed cheeks unlocks a hidden wealth of sexual longing and limitless passion buried beneath them. The lovemaking that follows a spanking matches no other in terms of sheer intensity.

As with any sexual act, a hairbrush spanking provides a vehicle for the participants to exchange trust, communication, love and fulfillment. These constitute the foundation of a successful relationship. It's hard to be deceptive or secretive when you're being spanked. The brush has a unique ability to strip away, layer by layer, false pride, egotism, selfishness, and vanity. This opens the door to real understanding.

Within the mind, the hairbrush symbolizes, for many of us, memorable moments from our youth. While those punishments held no attraction at the time, their vivid recollection became the roots of many an adult desire. As if by sorcery, the brush has the ability to transport the chosen one's consciousness back to another place, time, and situation. There's just nothing like a hairbrush to make you feel truly spanked.

Every great spanking includes a spiritual component. It represents a joining of two souls in a fashion that requires neither words nor gestures. Within that bond lies an implicit connection that transcends the events of the physical world.

In short, spanking is far more than the simple act of striking one's behind with the back of a brush. It's a celebration, a lifestyle, an intimate duet, foreplay, horseplay, and stageplay. It's both a beginning and a resolution. Best of all, it's fun!

Choose Your Weapon

Selecting the proper hairbrush is an important decision. Many people debate the merits of plastic versus wood. I've had considerable experience on the receiving end of both types. I think while there are differences, the design of the brush is at least as important as the material from which the brush is made.

Most brushes available in grocery and drug stores are too flimsy to be any good for serious spanking. Any time you see a plastic or rubber dome beneath the bristles, it's not a good choice. Other brushes have a hollow or slotted head. This makes a brush lighter and easier to use on hair. It also usually makes a poor spanking implement. What I find really effective is a brush that is heavy with a long handle and a flat, oval, solid head. The benefit of the heaviness is obvious. A heavier brush is more like a paddle. It can deliver a harder, more painful blow. The long handle provides more leverage and causes swats to strike with a higher velocity. This translates into more sting. The head is obviously the part that inflicts the damage. You want it to be oval because there are no sharp corners to cut your bottom. Blood can have the effect of ending a great session just as things are getting interesting. With an oval hairbrush, this is very unlikely.

Most hairbrushes, alas, don't meet these requirements. Assuming you can find both wood and plastic brushes which do, I think you find the plastic has more sting and less ache than a comparable wooden one. Let me emphasize, however, that in the right hand, both hurt quite a lot!

The reason some hairbrushes sting so intensely is the fact that their head is relatively small in comparison to their weight. Compared with a paddle, the smaller spanking surface of a hairbrush concentrates the same force over a smaller area. The result is a burning, shocking impact.

My personal favorite is not a hairbrush at all. It's sold as a body brush. It also works well in this capacity. It resembles nothing so much as an old-fashioned wooden hairbrush, but the bristles are soft and flexible.

This brush is very, very effective. It's about 80% sting (and what a sting!) and 20% ache. It leaves the recipient's bottom a vivid shade of scarlet. Sitting is definitely an issue for quite a while afterward. The real beauty of this hairbrush is that despite the intense blazing pain it evokes, it does little real damage. Heavy paddles can cause bruises. This hairbrush usually doesn't, at least for me.

If you're into spanking, why not try a hairbrush? It's going to make your bottom sting like the dickens (I guarantee it!), but it will also take you somewhere you've not yet been. It's not for everyone, but for those who are ready, it's worth the trip. Bon voyage!

Frustration

OK, I screwed up my blog a week ago and didn't realize until today when CeeCi kindly educated me.

For people using Firefox, it looked normal. For those using IE, however, it looked like the night of the drunken templates. Yuck. My sidebar was down at bottom of the page! When I saw it, I was horrified. I pride myself on keeping a neat, tidy blog. This simply would not do.

At first, I thought I knew how to fix it. It had to be a template problem that occurred when I added a wide Web ring table earlier in the week. Readergirl's suggestion fit right in with this theory. I messed around with squeezing things in the sidebar for at least an hour. By then, I was miserable and in tears.

LA Girl suggested that I try removing things from the sidebar one by one until the problem went away. That made perfect sense and I wish I had been wise enough to think of it myself. By this time, Randy had returned my urgent phone call. He guided me through the process of commenting out lines in the template. I mostly know about HTML and such, but I wasn't a very attentive student today. I was still too freaked out. Finally, we had commented out virtually everything and the problem remained.

About the time we were concluding that it wasn't the sidebar itself, Guy offered a great suggestion. He had encountered this kind of a problem before after changing the format of dates in comments. Aha! I thought. I did something very similar last week. Alas, changing it back fixed nothing.

Finally, Guy came through with a second idea that ultimately saved the day. He had me look at one of my posts from nearly a week ago. It was code I had copied from a quiz. Sure enough, there was a table in there that was too wide. Once I changed it to a narrower width, all was right again.

Thank you, everyone! Guy, you're my hero!

Now, even if I can't get a theraputic spanking tonight, I at least need to talk about one.

Turnabout and Turn Around

Here's a story from my archive.

My surprises have a way of turning on me, especially when spankings are involved. Randy and I had tickets to attend a play last night. Randy made reservations for dinner at a new restaurant beforehand. This promised to be a fun evening out.

So, was that good enough for me? Nope. Whatever the reason, I felt the need to spice things up. Beneath my dress I wore a thong with stockings and a garter belt. For those just tuning in, wearing a thong is a signal I use to tell Randy that a spanking is in order. I wanted to watch him spend the evening anticipating the fun to come. It didn't happen quite that way.

We were almost ready to leave for dinner when I put my plan into action. He was seated on the bed tying his shoes when I said, "Hey Hon, check this out!" I hiked up my dress to show him what wasn't underneath. There before him shined my full moon. When Randy exclaimed, "Ooooo, I like that," I silently congratulated myself for generating the desired response.

"We'd better take care of this situation." His voice held a barely controllable glee. Those words rang in my ears. I cautioned him that if we didn't go right away, we would be late for our dinner reservation. He gave me that skeptical "Are you kidding me?" look. He removed my sorority paddle from our toy drawer and said, "This shouldn't take long." He instructed me to lift my dress again and "assume the position." I love those three words. They evoke both lust and terror. I surrendered to the inevitable and bent over for my paddling.

He was right. It didn't take long. About ten rapid-fire whacks later, I had acquired a glow that I can still feel. Ow! The whole thing probably lasted two minutes. His efficiency left me gasping. Upon completing his mission, Randy returned the paddle to its home. I was still almost in shock as he helped me up, rearranged my dress, and led me down the stairs. He helped me on with my coat and then put on his own. He gave me my purse and took my hand. Away we went.

It all happened so quickly. It wasn't until we had been in the car for a few minutes that I fully comprehended how off-course my plan had swerved. My poor bottom simply ached. I could tell it was destined to feel that way all night long. Worse yet, the sudden and severe paddling had struck a chord within my psyche. I believe spanking and sex just go together. On this evening, they were, alas, miles apart. My baser desires would have to remain excruciatingly unattended for the next few hours.

The dinner was delicious. I had seafood paella and Randy has lobster. Yet, I was pre-occupied. More than once during the meal, Randy had to return my attention to the discussion one of us was trying to have. He asked if I was OK. I told him I was, except for a compelling warmth in front and a stinging warmth behind. He smiled and said, "that's what you wanted, wasn't it?" He had me there. I still wasn't thinking very clearly. "Let's just relax and let the evening unfold" he counseled. For lack of a better idea, I resolved to do so.

The performance was lively and enjoyable. I was never quite comfortable in my seat, but we still had a great time. In the car on the way home, my erotic needs got the best of my self-control. I found myself reaching over to massage Randy's instrument. He made no effort to discourage my advances. But for the steering wheel, I might have attempted oral pleasure right there. I was definitely ready for some animal love.

Once at home and safely back in our bedroom, all pretense of convention was abandoned. I treated him to a very enthusiastic demonstration of sword swallowing. Randy was delighted by my unrestrained eagerness. He muttered something about liking this arrangement. The lovemaking that followed was spirited and satisfying. When it was over, we snuggled amidst the warm haze of the aftermath. I told him I loved him and hugged him with all my strength. He grinned and told me he felt the same about me. It was in that embrace that we fell peacefully asleep.

Spanking Questionnaire

I received an e-mail yesterday from a gentleman named James Doorne. He writes for a publication in the UK known as Bizarre Magazine. He is working on an article about spanking and inquired whether I would be willing to answer some questions.

Well. You know me! There’s no subject on this planet this spanko would rather discuss. So, here are Mr. Doorne’s questions coupled with my responses.


1) Do you prefer to spank or to be spanked?

I am definitely the recipient.

2) What is the one most important piece of advice that you could give someone about good spanking?

I wrote an article recently about the ten components of a good spanking.

If I had to name one single piece of advice, I guess it would be to have fun with it. There are people who make this activity dreadfully serious. In my mind, we’re adults and this is erotic recreation. Why on Earth wouldn’t we choose to make it enjoyable?

3) What are your top three 'dos'?

- Do: Be yourself. Role playing can be great fun, but the person who is actually in the relationship is you. If this kink is part of your personality, then embrace it. If you like spanking, there should be no need to invent fictional pretenses.

-Do: Play safely. No thrill is worth the risk of seriously harming someone physically or psychologically. People who are just starting or are playing with new partners should begin slowly and gradually increase the level of severity.

-Do: Focus upon your partner’s needs. A great spanking relationship starts with a great relationship. As with any partnership, it requires an ongoing investment of time and effort to keep the fires of passion burning.

4) And your top three 'don'ts'?

-Don’t: Fail to have and use your safeword when you need it. I’ve used mine very rarely, but when necessary, I’m grateful to have the option of a quick exit.

-Don’t: Try to live a label. There are a number of people who try to dictate behavior. They claim that those dedicated to a particular lifestyle always do X, but must never do Y. I believe that successful relationships must be organic. In other words, they must be free to grow in whatever direction the couple chooses as best for them. I wrote an article on this subject.

-Don’t: Fall into the trap of believing that harder is better. I wrote article about this topic too.

5) Do you have a favourite position for spanking someone or being spanked by someone (standing, sitting, bent over something et cetera)? Some people have told me that they like to be in a position bent over something so that they can't clench their buttocks and can only be spanked on wobbly buttocks.

Yes, we’ve tried many positions, but I prefer to lie across my husband’s lap. I love the physical contact. Here are some more extended thoughts.

6) Physically speaking, do you prefer to be spanked firmly or gently?

That depends upon my mood and the dynamic between us. There are times when it seems that no amount of spanking is enough. Other times, a few quick swats will effectively scratch my itch.

7) Do you prefer a spanking to be from an open hand or implement? If you prefer an implement, what is that implement and which of its characteristics make you love it so?

We use a lot of implements. For a purely erotic spanking, his hand is wonderful. When things get more involved, other implements are necessary to do the job well.

We have an assortment of spanking toys. The most frequently used among these are wooden and leather paddles, wooden and plastic hair brushes and bath brushes, and leather straps and belts. My husband is also fond of oddball implements.

8) Do you prefer a long period of anticipation or is it purely the spanking itself that you like?

Again, the answer depends upon the situation and mood. Either can be fine.

9) Is there any other element that you like? For example, humiliation, being disciplined, submissiveness, anything else you would like to mention.

I am basically submissive, at least in the bedroom. Specifically, my husband decides when and how I am spanked. I willingly accept his judgment and whatever spankings he chooses to administer. We’ve had many years to experiment and refine our relationship. This is the arrangement that works best for us.

I should also mention that for us, spanking is a form of sex. It is erotic through and through. A spanking at our house is virtually always followed by intercourse.

One element that is rarely mentioned is the dimensions of spanking beyond the physical. When the word is mentioned, most people think about striking someone's bottom. That simple act, at least to me, is merely the key that opens the door to many other experiences. Beyond the physical, spankings can have mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Many enthusiasts talk about how pain can take them to subspace. This feeling has been compared to the so-called runner's high. I've been there myself and it's a mind-blowing sensation. Afterward, I feel a connectedness with my lover. Our ability to communicate is never stronger than at those times.

Here's a brief explanation of why this lifestyle appeals to us.

10) Can you tell me about your first time?

Well, my first time was with a high school boyfriend. It was a total flop. I would prefer to share with you the first time my husband spanked me.

11) Do you need to feel safe? By that I mean, do you need a safe word or some assurance that you aren't going to be harmed in any way? Or is that loss of control something that you quite like?

I always feel safe with my husband. After all of these years, I know I can count upon him to look out for my welfare. We do use a safeword, though I very seldom invoke it.

There is an aspect of giving over control that appeals to me. My control is not lost, but I do sometimes loan it to my lover for safekeeping.

12) Do you have a favourite spanking moment from film or television? If so, what is it?

I can think of lots of them. I guess I would pick one episode of the Gidget show (starring a very young Sally Field in the title role) where she was bent over and spanked by her sister and brother-in-law.

Here are some spanking memories.

13. (There was no #13, so I’ll give you a little background)

My name is Bonnie. I’m a forty something wife and mother. I live with my husband in the United States. We’ve been together and actively spanking for well over than twenty years. In many ways, we’re a very typical couple. We just happen to enjoy life more than most.

I work as a professional writer. Some of my off-duty work can be found on my blog.

14) Can you tell me about your best and worst spanking experiences? Please feel free to go into as much detail as you like.

For the best, there are so many choices. Let’s try one very memorable birthday spanking.

Likewise, I can think of several spankings that simply didn’t work out. Here’s one from a couple weeks ago.

15) How did you get into this?

I don’t believe I got into spanking so much as spanking got into me. I was keenly interested in the subject for as far back as I can recall. As I grew into a teenager, spanking gained a sexual significance. In my younger years, I thought this secret of mine was weird. I believed I was the only person in the world who thought this way. When I met my husband, he somehow understood my kink. He enjoys delivering a spanking as much as I do receiving one. For us, that has provided the foundation for a very successful marriage.


Mr. Doorne would like to hear from other spankos interested in contributing to his article. If you’d like to take a whack at these questions, you can contact him at james_doorne@dennis.co.uk.

Over the Couch

Sometimes I think my husband doesn't read this blog. Other times I know better. The latter realization hit me last night. A whole bunch of times it hit me, right where I sit down.

Yesterday evening, I was at the computer working on a future blog feature. My subtle sixth sense alerted me to a presence behind me. Sure enough, I turned to see Randy standing in the doorway. He was casually leaning against the door fame. A broad smile spread across his face.

"Over the couch, huh?" he inquired.

I knew exactly where he was headed, but played dumb. "What?" I screwed up my face to express my feigned lack of comprehension.

"You love spankings over the couch. Your own quiz said so."

"Yeah. So?" My attempts at misunderstanding were withering fast in the face of his undeniable logic.

"So, let's go." Randy didn't give me much to misconstrue.

I saved my work, got up from the computer, and followed him into the living room. I immediately noticed my sorority paddle lying on the seat of the couch. It wasn't hard to figure out that it would soon come to rest against my own seat.

"Over you go!" he urged, making a downward arc gesture with his hand.

"But what about...?" He didn't allow me to finish that thought. He guided me rapidly but not roughly over the back of the couch. I was standing on the floor, but my elbows rested on the cushions. My bottom was raised high, as if to invite the inevitable paddling that would soon commence. I thought he would want to fully expose my target, but my jeans remained in place.

I was in position no more than ten seconds before the first swat landed. It exploded across my bottom with a cannon-like report. I recall hearing the bang a split second before I felt the accompanying discomfort. I was surprised by the volume of the sound. The stinging pain followed quickly. My sorority paddle is long enough to punish both cheeks at once and heavy enough to leave a lasting impression. Even with the protection of my denim slacks, I knew I was in for a serious paddling.

“Count for me now…” Randy’s voice was somehow both playful and demanding. Since he was standing over me holding a big wooden paddle, I figured that counting might be a fine idea.

“One.”

Again the paddle fell with a loud boom. My voice, now slightly more strained, marked his progress. Then there were three, four, and five. Perhaps it was the accumulation of blows, but each whack felt harder than the one before. I called each number through gritted teeth. He was clearly focusing upon the lower half of my cheeks.

Randy meted out a second five in similar fashion. If he was holding back in any way, it certainly wasn’t evident to me. By the time I said “ten,” I was very well paddled. My poor bottom felt hot and stung enormously.

“Let’s see how we’re doing.” My lover’s tone was now almost comically clinical. Were I not so much in discomfort, I might have giggled. He unbuttoned my jeans and lowered them to the floor. My underwear quickly followed. Randy examined my toasted tail, tracing sore spots with his fingers.

“Very nice.” He said as he began to rub the smooth wooden paddle against my exposed skin. I gasped involuntarily. Soon, he was tapping me with a light but insistent cadence. I fought back the urge to escape. I bravely stayed in position.

Randy derives a special glee from surprising me. What he did next was a truly excellent surprise. Instead of continuing my paddling on the bare, he tossed the implement to the side. His dancing fingertips brought tingles to my lower back, my hips, my throbbing bottom, my thighs, and ultimately, my love canyon. His touch generated shivers of excitement and desire. He made me glad I stayed in place.

He next lowered his own trousers. I felt his hands parting my smarting cheeks as he swiftly and expertly plumbed my depths. I luxuriated in the now familiar blend of comfort within and discomfort without. Each thrust of his powerful hips brought forth both sensual stimulation and shocking distress. I embraced both in equal measure as I pushed my hips upward and back to meet his. Together we rocked with a lovers’ rhythm.

Soon I was overcome by the sheer erotic joy of the moment. He followed me into this blissful haze of loving fulfillment. Breathlessly, we found our nirvana over the back of that well used couch.

We played a little more later in bed, but this time, it was tender and sweet. When we were finished, Randy whispered in my ear. I know he loves me, but that’s not what he said. He leaned close and cupped his hand so as not to leak this deep secret, even to the cat.

“Your quiz was right.”

I burst out laughing! So it is, I thought. So it is…

Bonnie's Mailbag: Inside the Spanko Mind

A long time reader wrote me recently to ask an interesting question. She inquired about my thoughts while positioned over my husband's lap and absorbing repeated blows from a wooden implement. My first reaction was to giggle. Think? How about "Ow!" That's what I think.

As I pondered her question a little more, I realized that, even during laptop time, there are some at least semi-coherent thoughts bouncing around in my supercharged brain. To be sure, I don't speculate about the long term investment potential for commodity futures. But my noggin isn't entirely shut off either.

In the name of science, I will now attempt to recreate the conscious thoughts of a female spanko as she participates in her favorite sport.

OK, so it's over the lap. I like that. It's better. More skin contact. Hands down. Slowly. All right, I'm in place. Well, here we are again... Oooo, I like that rubbing. You could just do that for a while and it would be just great. Yeow! I wasn't ready yet! Oh! Ow! Ouch! Wait! Stop! Too hard! Yipe! Wow. That hurt. I'm glad he's gone back to rubbing. It feels really warm back there all of a sudden. I could get used to this par... Owie! Not the bru... Eeek! I hate that thing! Ouch! Too much! Not that! Whoa! I don't know if I can take another assault like that one. Ahhh, back to rubbing. Hey, when used this way, the back of the brush feels really smooth. &*%$#@!!! That hurts! Watch the thigh. No more! Stop it! What did I do to deserve this? OK, it's over. Right? Ah! I love where those fingers are roaming. Yes, right there! Mmmmmm. Ahhhhh. Oooooh! Yes, you can take me right now, right here. In fact, I would like that a lot. Yes, please do. Noooo! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! That's enough! Please... I'll grit my teeth and make it through on sheer will power. No, wait. That never works. I have to relax. Ack! That thing is pure evil. Eeee! Ouch! No! Whew! That's going to leave a mark. Two in fact. It's a good thing I'm accustomed to sleeping on my tummy. What's this? We're moving to the bed. Oh goody! I feel so hot. So damp. So ready. Nothing does it for me like a good spanking and that was a great one. Oh. Hello! I know you. Mmmmmm....

It goes something like that.

In our never ending quest to bring you excellent spanko entertainment, we here at My Bottom Smarts are proud to introduce a new enhancement. In the sidebar at the right side of each page, you will now find two drop down menus for spankings and fiction. Using these controls, you can quickly access any of the true life or fictional spanking stories I have posted since day one.

I wanted to give you, my reader, an easy way to access these stories. I received a lot of positive feedback from the end of year roundup posts. Why not, I figured, allow you to access those stories all year round? Now you can. Even if you read everything listed in the year end posts, there are several additional stories included in the drop down menu.

Thanks go to Janeen, for giving me the idea, and to my dear husband, Randy, for helping me to make it work.

	Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – One hopes you are fond of the color of your carpet. The stars suggest you may soon be staring at it.
	Aries (March 21-April 19) – Fire may not always be your friend, but it will surely be your companion. Sitting could be problematic this evening.
	Taurus (April 20-May 20) – Stubborn. Stubborn. Stubborn. How many times can you be paddled for the same offense? You surely aim to find out.
	Gemini (May 21-June 21) – The full moon will be brightly illuminated tonight.
	Cancer (June 22-July 22) – Don’t complain today. It’s not worth it. Take your swats and move on.

	Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) – Leave your clothes at the door. You won’t need them. Passion rules. All passages are well traveled.
	Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Tonight is fine for bondage. Just take your time and leave a little wiggle room.

Tonight's the Night

I’m tired this evening, so I’ll just reheat something from the freezer. This story has been in there for a long time, but I think it’s still good!

My husband works as a computer programmer. He has had to stay late all week. As a result, I hadn't gotten the release I craved. Until tonight, that is. When Randy arrived home, I told him what I have been doing this week. I let him read some of the spanking stories I wrote. He got the message. Moments later, we were in the bedroom.

Randy picked up the paddle from the top of my dresser where someone had conveniently left it. This paddle is teardrop shaped and fairly heavy. It provides a hearty mix of sting and ache. My lover sat on the edge of the bed and lowered me onto his lap. I like that position. It's intimate because it's over-the-knee, but I don't have to worry about supporting myself with hands and feet. Tonight, he oriented my target on his left. This seemed strange, because he is right-handed. I quit wondering about this oddity when he then lifted my nightgown and lowered my underwear. At that moment, I thought to myself "Sometimes I can't believe I ask for this!"

I occasionally hear women talk about warm ups. It’s a rare occasion when I get any. Randy usually slams the paddle or other implement against my bottom with a metronome pace. The first whack is often just as hard as the last. He shocks my skin with each blow. Sometimes he will hit the same spot repeatedly just to get my attention. It works!

Tonight, however, was a little different. Randy waited several minutes before he began. This just heightened my anticipation and longing. It's a special moment when you're in position, you know your bottom is about to be paddled, and there's nothing that can be done to change it. All the while, I could feel the cool, smooth wood resting against my skin. Finally, my spanking began with a loud, stinging smack. Instead of following the first swat with his usual steady pace, he paused again.

With his free hand, he reached for my moist zone. Now I understood why I was facing the wrong direction. By reaching across his body, he could soundly paddle me while driving me wild. He continued with one explosive swat about every 20-30 seconds.

After a couple of minutes, he reached for and activated a buzzing vibrator. Applied expertly, this sensation really scrambled my sensibilities. Even as I cringed from the pain, I craved more… more… more… I recall arching my back and thrusting my bottom upward to invite the paddle's next fiery kiss. Randy told me later that my vocalizations ran the gamut from screams to moans to gasps to giggles. We went on this way for a long, long time. It was a very thorough paddling, but a very sensuous one too. By the time he finished, I was bouncing all over.

The next round didn't involve any romantic foreplay at all. After positioning me on all fours at the edge of the bed, he locked his strong hands onto the fleshy part of my hips and forcefully took me from the back. My man pushed me over the edge of ecstasy almost immediately. It was wonderful.

Now I'm dealing with the inevitable aftermath. You wouldn’t think I could forget how much it hurts to receive a paddling. You can bet there's a pillow between me and this computer chair tonight. Hubby is happily sawing logs (why do men always fall fast asleep right after sex?). Sitting at my desk at work tomorrow morning promises to provide a painful reminder of tonight's fun. But in truth, it matters little because I'm contented. I got both what I wanted and what I deserved.
