Bonnie's Spankologue: Part Seventeen

Here are three more great spanko blogs for your browsing enjoyment!

Vintage Spanking Photos - As the name suggests, this blog is dedicated to spanking and bondage photography from yesteryear. Compared with today's erotica, these shots tend to be less overtly sexual and more playfully seductive. Randy says he likes the photos because most were taken at a time when models were not typically "gym rats." As a result, the women possess the feminine curves many spankers appreciate. For me, the photos are always fun, frequently artistic, and occasionally surprising. Fantastic Spanking - The author of this blog, Frank Spanko, is a fraud, fabrication, and fiction, and proudly so. The world portrayed in Fantastic Spanking, we are told, is entirely contrieved and has no relationship to any actual lives. Given an introduction like that, truly anything seems possible. Far from preposterous, though, many of the stories presented are credible, interesting, and compelling. More remarkable still are Frank's recurring wanderings well beyond the topic of spanking. For someone who is no one, he can often act remarkably three dimensional. If you're ready for a different approach to a spanko blog, I encourage you to stop by and say hello to Frank and his family. I'll Beg - I try to take the opportunity, whenever possible, to salute my influences. In terms of blogging, Kasey is near the head of the list. As much as anyone else, her writing caused me to aspire to be a spanko blogger. After more than a year of being away, she has returned! For those who might be new to I'll Beg, Kasey and her husband have exquisite tastes in erotic spanking, bondage, and sex. What's more, she has many great stories to share and does so with both skill and enthusiasm. Is it any wonder I'm celebrating the return of I'll Beg?

Infernally Cool

Randy and I had a wonderful birthday. Yes, there was plenty of bottom blushing involved. But that's a story yet to be told.

I want to thank all of you for your thoughtful and fun birthday comments and e-mails. I truly appreciate it.

There's simply nothing better than getting a paddle for your birthday, and I got it good. Check out my new logo at the top of the page. Big thanks go to Dante for conceiving and creating this splendid spanko artwork. I love it!

Have a great weekend, everybody!

Poll: Spanker's Choice

One for the Spankers Do you find an ample, rounded bottom more spankable? Yes, absolutely It makes no difference No, I prefer a slimmer target Current Results

Top Ten: Cringing Alibis

Have you ever found yourself in a thoroughly vanilla situation while in possession of a wild cherry derriere? Attempts to sit may be accompanied by an involuntary cringe. Vanilla friends, having witnessed your expression of discomfort, may inquire about your welfare.

At a time like this, the honest and easy answer simply won't suffice. People wouldn't understand. In order to provide a more appropriate alternative, we here at MBS have formulated the following alibis and diversions for use in these situations:

1. Too many reps at step aerobics class


2. Look! It's the Weinermobile!


3. I think my cell phone is buzzing


4. It's my old war wound


5. This seat is lower than it looks


6. My foot's asleep


7. I slipped on the ice


8. &*$# pantyhose!


9. Didn't I tell you about my trick appendix?


10. OK, who wants to do the Hokey-Pokey?

Bonnie's Mailbag

It's time again to look into the old mailbag. Let's see...

Question: Do you own any skirts, or just jeans?

Response: Yes, I wear skirts.

Question: Does it bother you when other bloggers borrow your ideas?

Response: I feel flattered when someone thinks enough of my work to adapt it for their own purposes. If they do it with attribution, I'm positively delighted.

There are few totally novel ideas in this world. When you get to a narrow niche like spanko blogging, the choices become even more limited. Most content is knowingly or unknowingly derivative in some fashion. We all borrow from one another in ways great and small. I try to cite my influences whenever possible, but I'm sure I miss some.

I work at developing original topics and presentations. I seek to do something a little different when I can. But no one I know can both stay on topic and produce a unique product every day for an indefinite period.

Question: I thought the guided tour of your panties was the best post ever. Will you do that again?

Response: I hadn't planned to repeat that feature, but I suppose it's a possibility. "Now this pair of socks I wear on really cold days..."

Question: Will you join (social networking service) and be my friend?

Response: Probably not. I really don't need any other new online distractions or obligations. If I am going to participate in something, I want to be able to do it well. At this stage, I simply haven't the time. I don't wish to reject anyone, but that's the way it has to be.

Question: Will a good warm-up and another spanking immediately following a caning cause marks to disappear faster?

Response: That seems unlikely.

Question: Are you aware that guys wank to your site, and does this upset you?

Response: I have no first hand knowledge, but I've been told that before. I would like to hope that some women find my stories arousing as well. This possibility doesn't bother me so long as they don't feel the need to share details.

Question: What do you think about the Texas schools that are bringing back corporal punishment of students?

Response: I'm interested in spankings between consenting adults. This scenario is well outside those bounds.

Question: Would you be willing to write a short piece for my blog?

Response: If it's an established blog that deals with spanking topics, I will be pleased to help if I can.

Question: How did you find my blog?

Response: You linked to MBS and I saw the resulting traffic in my statistics. I am curious to see who is linking me and often check out those sites. If I like what I find, I'll add it to my blogroll.

Question: Would you be willing to remove my blog from your blogroll?

Response: Sure. Just send me an e-mail.

Question: You have a beautiful butt. How can I get to spank it?

Response: That privilege belongs to Randy alone.

Question: Do you mind if I just lurk?

Response: Not in the least. I love my lurkers. Even if you don't comment, I know you're there. I consider your presence a silent vote of confidence and I appreciate that. If and when you're ready to join the discussion, a warm welcome awaits you.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Sept 24

In celebration of this blog's one year anniversary, we convened a special edition of the MBS spanko brunch. The topic, quite appropriately, was spanko blogging. Here are your thoughts and contributions.

Todd and Suzy: I’m not sure how much time we actually spend. It might be scary to add it up! We have a list of blogs, 15 or so, that we check out almost every day. Then there are several others that we look in on a few times a week, as well as checking out new ones we stumble across. We also spend time on Goggle going from one link to the next. Then, there is the time we spend on our own blog. We try to add six or seven new entries per week.

It takes time, but we usually do this while watching TV. One of us will sit here looking and sharing while the other watches TV and listens and shares. Then we switch (ha, that’s the only switching around here). So, we cut into our TV time. That’s hardly a loss.

As for what why we do it, it's interesting. We learn so many new things. It's fun, exciting, and something we don't share with (many) of our family and friends. So, while we think about it all the time, actually getting to discuss it (outside of with each other) is done in the blogosphere.

BTW, congratulation on one year! That’s awesome. You've been so helpful to us too. Thanks so much for everything!

Snow White: At this point in time, spanking is totally a fantasy for me. I don't have a SO in my life, so all I can do is think about it! And I spend a lot of time doing just that! Blogs help me do that. They offer stories, insight, and many more great links. I mostly lurk around them, but I do occasionally post a comment. However, I spend a lot of time visiting!

I do have a blog, and every once in a while I mention spanking. But since I'm not involved in a relationship, and I'm not a writer of fiction, there's not a lot of spanking happening in my blog. But if it ever does happen, I'll be sure to let y'all know! *crossing fingers*

Happy Anniversary, Bonnie! And thanks for keeping up a fantastic blog!

Brian: As you know I don't have a spanking blog although Diane and I are in a D/s relationship. I have written spanking poems and a story, and I mention spanking often. Many of my female friends that read my blogs are spankos. I tell them that they need spankings all the time, and they keep coming back for more. *grins* They like the fact they I treat them with respect and actually listen to their rants without trying to *fix* things. Then they go over my knee. ;)

I usually read spanko blogs only on the weekend. During the week at work, I am posting to three blogs daily, commenting on two of those, and there are probably close to 50 blogs that I check on every day, maybe 15 that I comment every post.

Reading My Bottom Smarts and other spanko blogs gave us the courage to try spanking as a way of having a closer marriage. It has been the best thing we have ever done. Thank you Bonnie, Elis, and Eva.*smack* On a personal note, I started blogging six months ago, and it has saved my life.

Jean Marie: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BONNIE!

I love reading spanking blogs, and love reading My Bottom Smarts most of all. I used to feel so all alone, sure that I was weird and warped for wanting my fanny spanked often and hard (or often and soft, or just often). Now I know I'm part of a community who share a sexy, spicy kink. Reading this and other blogs turn me on tremendously. I read some daily, while some I just check out occasionally. Whenever, I like to play with myself as I read and respond. Sometimes my lover catches me at this. Other times, I go tell him that I've been "unfaithful" by getting off without him. This always earns me what I crave, an honest to goodness real spanking.

You're a precious part of my life.

Eva: First off, I wish you a very, very happy anniversary here at MBS and selfishly wish you many more.

I love blogging but not just about spanking. I just blog about whatever floats my boat at the moment which could be darn near anything.

When I stumbled onto this community and started my own blog in July, it didn't exactly change my life, as we'd been into spanking a few years, but it sure has enhanced it. Having made so many friends that share this commonality proves to be encouraging, enlightening, fun, sexy, and sassy. I'm so glad to be here, but even more glad that there are so many other wonderful bloggers to play with.

Thanks for all you've done to make this a lifestyle that I now know is within the definition of normal. I may not always know what "normal" is, but like many others, I want to be exactly that. Some people might enjoy that "freak in a sideshow" feeling. I'm not one of them. This community has removed that feeling from me.

I read a lot of blogs and comment as much as I can. It's like the modern day version of the 50's neighbors talking over the white picket fence in the back yard. Well, sort of.

How much time do I spend? A lot but I don't watch TV or have any other hobby. This is what I enjoy outside of Adam and my job. I do watch that it doesn't interfere with those things. Beyond that, give me my dang blogs and no one gets hurt!

Kayley: Happy anniversary, Bonnie! And keep it going! :)

Well, I don't spend too much time with my blog. But when I do, I go on reading blogs and writing for my own for days. That is, when I have time, and now I do.

And about the benefits? I see the blog as a big extension of SSS or a forum. It's better than reading and not putting your two cents in. Besides, people tend to put more soul, I think, in their site, then in someone else's group. It's also journal, and journals can be deeper than some random post that has to entertain someone. On your own blog, you get to always entertain yourself.

Roper: I started my blog because a spanking relationship broke up, and it was a way of trying to make sense of that, and understand generally my feelings about the whole D/s thing. I get the kind of satisfaction one gets from any kind of intellectual activity, that is to say, the pleasure of finding out more and deepening one's understanding. It's also fun sometimes writing a bit of smut in the hope it may arouse one or two readers!

But there's a lot more to it than that. What I didn't anticipate was that through the blog I would meet other spankos. Before the blog, I'd published some spanking fiction and encountered one or two people that way. But the blog has greatly widened my circle of contacts. I now have a small number of good friends. One of these friends turned into something more. We met and had an enjoyable spanking encounter, though for reasons I won't go into, the relationship did not develop. But I'm now writing regularly to another reader and am very hopeful that we shall meet soon for a pleasurable spanking session.

I didn't intend my blog to become a dating device, but I'm very happy that it has provided me with introductions to some charming and interesting people. I value the platonic relationships I've made as much as the hands-on ones.

I spend about three hours a week creating content (I usually post about every three days). I do read other blogs, especially those by submissive women, and have gained much knowledge and pleasure from this. One does feel part of a community. Goodness knows what people like us did before the internet. It must have been a lonely life for many.

Master Fitznicely: Congrats on the Anniversary, Bonnie!

I've had a vanilla blog for, oh, years, so while the act of blogging isn't new to me. Finding a narrative voice for my spanko blog has given me headaches. I hesitate to think how much time I spend, not just creating content, but checking stats, comments, replies to comments I've left on other blogs, following new links, reading others' blogs etc. It’s got to be a significant part of the time I spend online.

For me, having a blog specifically for the Master/slave aspect of our relationship was a natural extension of the blogging I do anyway. I didn't want to alter the flavour of my established blog, so I simply created Master Fitz. For me, for us, it's a celebration and a sharing (however anonymous) of the most important commitment we could show for each other.

It's also a learning resource and a community of people at all levels of experience and expertise. On our travels through the blogosphere, we've found couples that have been practising DD for years, couples that are just taking the first steps, and every flavour in between. It's a fascinating resource, not to mention a wonderful insight into the thoughts and experiences of like-minded people.

When things are going right, we have people to celebrate with and share the good times with. When things go wrong, there always someone out there who's been there before.

At the end of the day, though, I think it comes down to this: We're just having too much fun to keep it to ourselves!

Jujubes: Happy Anniversary Bonnie! I enjoy your blog. I have a few blogs that I read regularly, plus a blog of my own that I try to keep up on, but it’s getting harder to do so! I guess blogging gets in your blood after awhile, both the reading and the writing.

Paul: Happy anniversary Bonnie. May there be many more.

I read and comment on a good number of blogs that I feel are genuine and well written. I am considering starting a blog of my own, but I fear it would consume far too much time.

When Mel was alive we were sufficient, with our work, unto ourselves. When she died I became increasingly isolated and lonely, I had no idea how widespread the spanko community was. Finding the blogospere was both a godsend and an eye opener for me. I no longer feel so isolated, I can share memories, and I can feel at least relatively normal. *G*

Blogs like CWS, CeeCi's Garden and MBS, to mention only three, opened a whole new world for me. I am able to share a lifelong interest in the lifestyle and even help the occasional newbie.

Tigger Too: I don't have a blog, but I really enjoy reading them, especially yours, Bonnie, and read them regularly!

Tiggr: Oh, Bonnie, big hugs and congrats to you! Have you any idea how essential you've been in helping start so much? Not just here in Bloggerland, but among friends, relationships, and self-realization. The insight you've offered and perspectives you've shared, the lessons learned and questions answered... awe-inspiring doesn't begin to describe it.

I spend too much time blogging, but I am learning to balance it with my daily activities and duties. It is now beginning to accent my daily life rather then replace it or depreciate it.

I read a lot, comment whenever and wherever I truly feel that I have something noteworthy to add, and put time and effort into making my blog (and each post) an accurate a vision of me, an extension of myself, even if just at that moment in time, as possible. I don't hide behind my blog or create a persona that I don't feel. That may be confusing to some and overwhelming to others but it is who I am and I need to act from my heart.

Huge hugs to you today... I hope Randy gives you the ass-warming to match all the ass-warmings you've prompted!

CeeCi: I've been anticipating this day for several weeks now and here it is. It’s your anniversary and my opportunity to tell you “Well Done, Bonnie!” You've been an inspiration and a source of information for many of us. Thank you for your consistency, your knowledge, your humor, your honor, and your graciousness. You're a shining star in this community!

I'm less than two months away from my first anniversary. Blogging has taught me so many things, not only about myself, but about the beauty of others. I've learned to code (boy have I ever) and have come to love the way I can express myself because of it.

I spend much more time blogging than I really have to spend, but as the television has been unplugged in my home for as long as I've been blogging, I do not have that distraction.

Blogging has improved my writing skills. It has been a way to present my photography to the world. It has brought people into my life that I may never meet, but that I cherish all the same. It has been one of the most positive things I've done for myself.

I read daily from a list that fluctuates between 25-30 blogs. I don't comment as much as I once did, mostly because of time constraints and Blogger's recent issues. I do my best to post something everyday as well. My entries are recounts of my life and my challenges. I'm grateful for the outlet that blogging has been for me. It's hard to imagine my day without it.

Padme: Congratulations and happy anniversary! I remember when you first started this blog. I have read all your posts and I love your blog. It's one of my favorite blogs to read every day. :)

I read between 20-30 spanko blogs a day, but I've had to cut down a bit due to how much time it can eat into my day. I was trying at one point to comment on every single blog, but I can't maintain that anymore.

I put a lot of time and effort into my blog and have had to cut down a bit on that too. I was posting every single day and that also was cutting into my days a lot. I've now handed some of the blog over to Master Anakin, which has helped.

I get a lot of benefit from blogging. With reading other spanko blogs, I don't feel so alone in my spanko desires. I've met others who understand my need for spankings in my life. With my blog, it's been a wonderful and creative outlet to share my spanking adventures with others.

Congrats again! You've created a very successful blog, Bonnie, and I hope you'll be around for a long time.

Mary: Congrats Bonnie. I have only a couple of blogs that I read regularly, yours being one. Most the time, I spend only 10-20 minutes on it a day. I just do not have the time for more.

When I am a bit horny, bored, or lonesome, I may link to other bloggers from your site or my other favorite site. Reading blogs "normalizes" the spanking life. Seeing so many very nice and interesting people enjoying spanking is fun. I would never be able to keep up a true blog of my own.

Elis: There is not enough room in cyber space to explain what finding your blog, and through you, all the others, means to me. Because of the courage I have found here I started my own site. All of this has caused me to fall completely head over heels in love with my husband! I feel joy, and excitement every day.

Spanking is a wonderful common thread that runs all through this, and I love it but, oh, blogging has added so much more than just spankings. I am learning about myself, such as how to open up and show my feelings. I am becoming a new person and I really like her.

Blogging takes a great deal of time. Left alone I would spend over six hours a day here. It’s like a brand new toy and I am sure in time I will cut back and start cleaning and cooking again (maybe). At this time, Nick complains little about my time here since we have both benefited so much from it.

Lastly, I have to say that the friendship I have found here overwhelms me. I don't read tons of blogs, probably no more than 10 to 15, but at this time in my life, I would say that most of my closest friends are here.

Congratulations on your first year and THANK YOU!

Bella: For me, blogging has become a creative outlet for something I didn't think I could really do.

There are about 10 to 12 blogs that I read daily and about that many more that I read a couple of times per week.

Time and effort seem to be leveling off after an initial push to try to put new content up on a regular basis. I have found it works better for me when I am not feeling pressured to write. Then there are the times when I can't stop writing and the posts come rapidly. So I post when I have something to post. :)

The benefits have been numerous. I have truly enjoyed making friends and interacting in the blogosphere.

Congratulations, Bonnie, on your anniversary!

Grace: Congrats on your anniversary! This is a special day indeed!

My blog is just a space for me to think. Some days, I try and make it funny. Others, it's just about life. I started it as a journal for me, never thinking people would actually read it.

As for other blogs. I've learned a lot from them. I've gotten some great ideas and have met some wonderful friends.

Your blog is terrific! I've enjoyed reading your blog!

Lisa: Wow, Bonnie, has it really only been a year? It is amazing how fast it goes. Just like you, it seems as though I just started yesterday, but at the same time, have been doing this all of my life.

I started a blog after reading a couple of blogs about spanking because I wanted to share my experience. I have a handful of blogs I keep track of, but I don’t always check in everyday because I don't have time. Whenever I post to my blog, I generally take awhile because I want to make sure it says what I feel. So an average post takes a minimum of one hour.

The good that has come from this is I have an outlet to share my feelings, not just with my spouse, but also with others who may be going through a simple situation.

Looking for to another year of reading your blog and next sundays brunch.

Theresa: Congratulations, Bonnie. I spend too much time blogging, but I enjoy it so. I love posting my thoughts, writing stories, and getting comments.

I enjoy reading other bloggers' posts, stories, and laughing out loud frequently.

I have finally learned to balance my blogging with my real life, by learning to do the real life things very, very fast so I can get back to blogging!

I read your blogging smarts articles and learned a lot for these posts. I have also had wonderful support, advice, and blogging help from others all along the way.

I read and comment on close to ten blogs a day, and add more gradually. I have met some wonderful kind-hearted and helpful people. It has been and enriching experience all around!

Veronica: Happy anniversary, Bonnie! I don't blog myself, but I do read several, and yours is a favorite. Seeing the huge community of spankos out there has helped me to realize that I'm completely normal and not the freak I once thought I was. I like to get my bottom spanked nice and hard, and there's nothing wrong with that! Blogs like yours and others have also helped me to introduce my formerly vanilla partner to my world. He adapted very quickly and enjoys giving me spankings as much as I love receiving them. Thank you so much for putting your wonderful blog out there and helping the many of us who were once unsure of ourselves and our kink. We love you! :-)

Anne Elizabeth: Happy Anniversary, Bonnie!

The blogging thing is pretty new to me. I think, for me, the most fun is that it is both giving and receiving!

SuZQ: First of all, congratulations on your anniversary! I continue to be amazed at your ability to post such great, on-topic content so regularly. Now that I've started my own blog, I really understand how difficult and time-consuming that can be.

I started my blog as an outlet, to get my thoughts and feelings about spanking (and other things) out in the open. What I didn't expect was finding a community of wonderful women, mostly my age, who were actually living my fantasy. I've learned so much from all of you.

It wasn't that long ago that I had my very first delurk here on MBS. Now I'm reading, commenting and/or writing on a daily basis. Spanking is habit-forming!

Thank you, Bonnie. Your blog has brought us all together.

Caryagal: I spend about 1/2 hour or an hour each night reading different spanko blogs. I love them. They make me feel not so "weird." I have thought about starting one, and maybe someday I will, but not yet. I have too many pulls on my time right now with 4 children under age 7 including 2 year old twins. I just can't do it. :-) So, for now, I'll enjoy your blogs and try to comment often!

Frank Spanko: My answers are as follows:

1. To me, blogging is my life. Since I am an imaginary person, that is the literal truth as I would not exist if not for the fertile imagination of my author.


2. I believe that I speak for my author as well as myself when I say that we review a number of blogs related to our favorite pastime almost daily.


3. Again, both my author and myself engage in the art of blogging as a way to indulge ourselves and get a little bit of titillation. To those less subtle than I, I said titillation, not having a daily wank in front of the computer.
   
   Furthermore, I believe my creator uses this particular form of expression as a way to share some particular fantasies of his with others of the same ilk.

Bonnie: Thank you all for your congratulations, well wishes, and generous praise. I am grateful for your continuing support. You folks are a tremendous inspiration!

I have many thoughts about these topics. I’ll try to summarize. It’s been an amazing year. I participated in various forums in the past, but nothing quite prepared me for this environment. I love the feeling of community and I want to do what I can to nurture that unity and cohesiveness. A blog shouldn’t be solely words and pictures. It’s really about people – those who write, those who comment, those who link, and those who lurk and learn. Every participant has something to teach us, if we take the time to listen. This culture of sharing is the bedrock upon which our virtual community is constructed.

How much time do I spend? Wow. That question was easier to ask than it is to answer. All told, I’d say at least a couple of hours most days and often more than that on the weekend. That includes preparing posts, answering e-mail, replying to comments, updating the blog, developing new story ideas, reading other blogs, and commenting. Sometimes I wonder if this is the best use of my time and energy. Other times, it feels very worthwhile.

I read lots of spanko blogs. I comment somewhat less often. This is, again, simply because of time considerations.

As for the benefits, I have to tell you that blogging has improved our love life. When Randy reads one of my stories, he is often reminded how hot it is to give me a good spanking and all that goes with it. For me, writing an account of a spanking requires me to relive the events in my mind. These memories, especially the fresh ones, inevitably turn me on. The result is, well, more stories to tell.

MBS Spanko Brunch #36

This is a special occasion here at MBS. Today marks the one year anniversary of the blog. For me, it seems like just yesterday when I published that first tentative post. Yet, it also feels as though I've always been blogging. It's become a part of my life.

Since this is Sunday, there is a brunch to enjoy. I chose a subject that I think you will agree is appropriate for the occasion.

What does spanko blogging mean for you? How much time and effort do you expend creating content? How often do you read spanko blogs? What benefits do you derive from blogging and/or reading blogs? If you don't have a blog, would you consider starting one?

I invite you to submit a contribution to our brunch discussion. Please leave a comment below, send me an e-mail, or post a response on your own blog. Once everyone has provided their responses, I will publish a summary of the discussion.

Bonnie's Spankologue: Part Sixteen

It's time again to introduce three more wonderful spanko blogs. If you think I'm going to run out of blogs and have to halt this feature, think again. There are wonderful spankos out there who are creating blogs faster than I can write about them!

Pleasure of Being a Spanked Wife - Lisa and Edward are a married couple who enhance their relationship through spanking. When Edward spanks Lisa, it's pure recreational and erotic fun. For more than a year, they have undertaken a number of enjoyable experiments and shared the results with readers. Some stories include both of their perspectives, which I find particularly enlightening. I encourage you to stop by and leave them a comment.

MBS Rosy Bottom Replay

When I began this blog a year ago, I had plenty of spanking stories, but very few readers. As a result, when I published many of my very favorite tales, almost no one saw them. I now have the ability to remedy this deficiency.

Presented as an encore for your reading pleasure, here are four golden oldies:

The Talk - A serious vacation spanking that borders on discipline

A Rub in the Tub - Conclusion of the vacation adventure, purely erotic this time

Halloween Heatwave - A costumed classic!

Spanking 101: Your First Spanking

Last year, I presented ten tips for spanking novices. Since then, I’ve wanted to revisit the topic in more detail, and from a slightly different perspective.

A couple’s first spanking might be their most difficult. Partners may have different expectations and levels of interest. It’s quite natural to be nervous. There are so many unanswered questions:

• How much will it hurt?
• Will this help or harm our relationship?
• Is this the first step toward heavy bondage and discipline?
• Should we adopt dominant and submissive roles?
• Am I betraying my gender?
• Is it ever OK to hit a woman?

The best strategy, I think, is one that places the focus squarely where it belongs. What matters most is the couple and their relationship. Spanking is beneficial only if it enriches the lives of both partners. For a first spanking, we will place this consideration above all others.

A mutually enjoyable spanking experience requires a little bit of forethought and planning. Yes, I know it’s not as exciting as a spontaneous spanking session, but if this first one goes well, there might be plenty more to follow. It’s OK to talk about these topics. Really! No one can read minds, and if you want your partner to understand what you’re thinking, you must share those thoughts and ideas.

As important as it is to talk, listening is even more essential. Your partner will probably tell you whether they like your plan. In the event that they hesitate or even reject it, fear not. Perhaps they will offer a reasonable alternative. At this moment, it is to your advantage to be flexible. Please remember that there are many paths to your destination.

When you decide to try a first spanking, the setting is very important. Plan to be as far from distractions as is practical. Try to choose a time when both partners are feeling relaxed, energetic, and open-minded. Make sure to allow plenty of time for whatever might follow.

The prelude to the spanking should be loving and reassuring. The spankee should feel as though she is adored and appreciated. The spanker should feel as though he is honored and beloved. Kisses, stroking hair, tender touches, and sweet words all reinforce these feelings of connectedness and unity.

When it is time for the spanking, select a position that will be both intimate and comfortable for both partners. I recommend that the spanker sit at the edge of a bed or on a couch with the spankee draped across his lap. In this position, both her upper torso and legs are well supported. Her bottom is also nicely presented.

Rather than starting right in with swats, it’s often nice to further set the mood by rubbing the bottom using a slow, circular motion. For many spankees, including me, this kind of touching is a tremendous turn-on. I particularly like the feel of a hand moving over the back of my skirt and perhaps occasionally diving underneath to add to the arousal. Should the spankee begin to roll her hips, she’s definitely ready.

Any real spanking should hurt, but that’s not the primary goal this first time. We’re instead aiming for erotic stimulation. Don’t drive through your swats, but let them dance lightly on the surface. Redden the skin, but try not to bruise it. A hand should suffice and even then, avoid full force blows. Teach her to love the sensations of stinging and warmth. Talk as you spank and tell her what a tremendous turn-on it is to finally feel her across your lap.

For the spankee, it’s vital to express yourself as well. Tell him what you need, what you want, what you like, and what you don’t. That’s the best way for him to learn and refine his technique.

A few dozen light to moderate whacks should suffice for this first spanking. Again, you will hopefully get more chances to experiment in the future. When the spanking is over, the spanker should embrace his partner and ensure that she feels truly loved. This sets the stage for wonderful aftercare experiences in the future.

Many couples find spankings to be sexually arousing and an excellent form of foreplay. In this situation, lovemaking quite naturally follows a spanking. For us, spankings are the ultimate aphrodisiac. The resulting sex represents a welcome completion, a dénouement. It’s certainly not required, but I do recommend it.

Once the excitement dies down, you may wish to talk about your experiences. What worked? What didn’t? What would you like to try next time? How could the session be better? In those answers lies a roadmap to years of erotic spanking fun.

Speaking of fun, a spanking doesn’t have to be serious or clinical. It’s fine to be yourself, laugh, or act silly. Keeping things light removes some of the pressure to make everything perfect.

I hope your first spanking is a wonderful experience for both of you! Best wishes, and please let me know how everything works out in the end.

The Adventures of Safety Avenger and Tester Girl

On Friday night, I learned that I was married to a superhero. If that sounds remarkable, just imagine how surprised I was! Just when you think you really know someone...

When Randy arrived home from work, his passionate reunion kiss informed me immediately that playtime was just ahead. He swatted me twice on the bottom with his palm before asking me to go upstairs, lose my clothes, and lie on the bed. He took a quick shower, leaving me to contemplate my fate.

My man emerged from the master bathroom clean, rejuvenated, naked, and ready for action. He gently turned me onto my stomach. Next, he bound my wrists behind my back using a sturdy scarf. I cooperated. This was going to be fun! I knew I was in for the full treatment when he dragged out his homemade spreader bar from under our bed. Two old pairs of pantyhose effectively secured my ankles. Suddenly, I was fully exposed and incapable of escaping.

I mentally prepared myself for spanking, teasing, flogging, stimulating, lovemaking, and whatever else Randy had in mind. However, I wasn’t ready for nothing. He left. He was gone. All I could think was, “Now what?”

When my tormentor returned a few minutes later, he was wearing nothing a rust-colored sheet over his shoulders like a superhero cape. I didn’t know what to think or say.

“Hello, beautiful lady,” he said using his best Adam West impression. “I’m Safety Avenger. Wherever there are hazards, I’ll be there to protect innocent and guilty alike.”

I couldn’t help it. I giggled.

Ignoring my complete lack of reverence, Safety Avenger continued, “Were you aware that there are thousands of avoidable household injuries every year as a result of defective or worn paddles?”

“Uh-uh.”

“Yes, it’s true,” he said in an authoritative, but overly serious baritone. “In order to save you from this terrible fate, we must test each of your wooden paddles to ensure they meet our exacting safety standards.”

Now his game was clear, as was my role in it.

“Let’s start with this small model,” Safety Avenger said, picking up a thin spanking paddle. “I believe ten should suffice.”

So ten swats I received. They were fairly hard and made my bottom sting, but I found myself on the verge of cracking up again. The entire scenario was so silly. He still had a colored twin sheet around him. At least, I thought, he didn’t pick the fitted lower sheet. This mental picture put me over the edge and I began to laugh in earnest.

“You must understand, Ma’am, that this procedure is for your own safety.” Yeah, right.

“That paddle seems to be fully intact and functioning properly. Let’s choose one that is more substantial.” I couldn’t see what he had in his hand, but I surely felt it. He whacked my bottom ten more times with something thuddy. I struggled against my bonds, but I wasn’t about to go anywhere. I was really hurting now.

“Nothing unsafe here,” he said tossing the big paddle aside. “Let’s continue.”

He proceeded to go through his entire collection of wooden paddles, one by one, testing each with great care. It was definitely a fun spanking, but a very thorough one as well. By the end, I was burying my face in the pillow and gritting my teeth.

When he was finished with the last group of ten, Safety Avenger proclaimed, “You can feel safe, Ma’am, there’s no danger of injury here.” With this absurd pronouncement, I again began giggling uncontrollably.

“No injury, huh? What do you call this?” I inquired as my bound hands strained to point at my glowing slopes. By now, Randy was laughing along with me. The cape was gone when he bent down to kiss me. “Let me do something about that,” he said in a hushed, soothing tone.

He retrieved a bottle of lotion and spread the cool, smooth cream over the flesh he had just finished paddling. I moaned with pleasure and desire. His strong fingers massaged and manipulated my crimson skin. It hurt in a wonderful, deep, sensual way. As much as I adore being spanked, I often cherish the intense feelings immediately afterward even more.

Randy untied me and we made delicious love. With our spanking hunger nicely sated, our focus shifted toward erotic fulfillment. We explored each others’ bodies as only experienced partners can. By the time we finished, I was exquisitely relaxed and fantastically fatigued.

What a fine way to start a weekend!

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Sept 17

It appears that we do have some exhibitionist spankos in our midst. Here is a summary of your thoughts.

Brian: No, I have never spanked Diane in public, although she deserves it often. Too bad they don't have a spanking aisle at Sprawlmart. It would get a lot of use!

Jean Marie: I have grown to love the added thrill of being spanked in public. The first time was mortifying, but because my lover is firm on the rule that if I misbehave while out in public, I should be spanked right then and there, I've adjusted to the idea. Over time, he's pushed the envelope ever further, including making the spanking last longer, flipping up my skirt to expose the seat of my panties, and stopping the swats to lecture.

The choice of place is important. I've been spanked sexily on a lovely spring day at the St. Louis Zoo (it upset the monkeys). I've been spanked harshly while on vacation in Chicago in the shoe department of Nordstrom's (which gave our shoe salesman a boner and a stuttering fit). I've been spanked numerous times in parking lots, both in the back seat of the car with the door open, and even right over the fender with my underwear pulled up the crack of my ass (that drew a crowd). We once witnessed a sassy little girl get a spanking in the grocery store and mimicked the embarrassing experience in the same aisle not two yards away (the mother got very mad, both of us on the receiving end got tears in our eyes, but were giggling at the same time). It's an extra splash of Tabasco sauce on an already hot and spicy dish, and I've acquired the taste. The trouble with public spankings is they make me extra horny, and sometimes that itch can't be scratched in public.

Paul: I never had the nerve to spank Mel in public. However, I often did in the open air which is very hot. The risk of being seen makes it so much hotter.

My Mel loved to buy lingerie (what woman doesn't?). My fantasy was to spank her over the counter of each shop that she used. As soon as we got home from such a shopping expedition, she got a fine good girl spanking and, of course, what always followed.

Tiggr: I've been spanked on our back porch, within earshot and possible view of the neighbors, though not very publicly. I've been spanked several times in the car, in several different ways, such as with Dante driving down the road and me kneeling on the passenger seat, pants and panties down, getting soundly thrashed at 60 mph, on the Interstate and on smaller roads near our house. Then there was the time I was draped over his lap in the front seat at a popular park, right beside a rather busy road, in plain view of passersby and park visitors alike... and that was a HARD spanking!

He teased once to a neighbor about demonstrating his spanking technique (yes, the neighbors know, at least one set of them). That was rather erotically frightening and humiliating and scary and edgy. Had he actually done it, I'd have been horrified, I think.

I'd love to get it good in public sometime, but please don't tell him that I told you that! I'm not in a hurry for it to happen or anything, and I’m certainly not trying to provoke it.

Mary: I feel it would be mortifying to be spanked in public. Even as a child, I did not want anyone beyond the immediate witness to even know I have been bad. Hiking in the woods is one setting that we have indulged in an open air spanking. That made me feel embarrassed, and yet it was hot. I wouldn't mind repeating that scenario some time.

Our most recent event that skirted on a public spanking is one I received at home. It was deserved, but I wanted to postpone it. Oy! Minutes before we had a massage scheduled, he made sure my bottom was quite red, so there was no mistaking that I was indeed spanked. I felt so self-conscious and humiliated knowing that it was clear I had misbehaved, and the consequences in our relationship were that I was soundly spanked. However, the hour pleasurable side by side massage and my embarrassment was completed by a VERY sexy shower scene at the spa. I guess adding a public element accentuates both the embarrassment and the erotic elements.

Bonnie: I have never received more than a few playful swats in a truly public place. However, there have been a number of occasions when we were pretty certain that people overheard a spanking session. Needless to say, those events were Randy’s idea. As Tiggr said, this scenario is simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying. There’s something of an exhibitionist high, but I’m ambivalent about whether I truly want it. I think I love the concept a lot more than the reality.

I’ve never been to a spanking party or spanking club. Again, I like the idea, but I doubt I would want to expose my plump bareness in front of friends. I might feel differently were I 22 years old and beautiful. Then again, maybe I wouldn’t.

Tigger Too: Though I've haven't gotten spanked in front of other people yet, my hubby and I have fantasized about it! In fact, we have friends that attend spanking parties all the time, and are even thinking of going to some ourselves!

As to what makes it exciting, I'm not really sure. I just know that it definitely is!

kk: Master has spanked me many times in our office parking lot, bent over the hood of my own car.

He also enjoys trying out new whips and paddles on my naked ass cheeks when we are shopping in the adult toy stores. He bought a paddle once and had me bend over right in front of the clerk so he could give me a few as I held up my skirt for him. What a rush that was for me!

Anne Elizabeth: I've never been spanked in front of people. I wouldn't like it at all. It is such a private, erotic thing, such an intimate knowledge bond between myself and my partner.

But I would get turned on by fantasizing about it. I imagine Mike spanking me while some of his fellow deputies watch and egg him on, getting all aroused themselves and jerking off while they see him use his hands on my behind.

Padme: I've been spanked in public a few different times. A few of them were written into blog posts like our first Phantom of the Opera night where he spanked me over a rock in Stanley Park. Once he had me draped over a car also down a country road.

There are many times I have been spanked in front of others. We are a poly couple and we play with others and many times there are one or more people watching me get a spanking. I love it. I am an exhibitionist and love the feel of someone watching me get a hard spanking. :)

Eva: It's an awesome fantasy, yes, but I thank God that He's put plenty of distance between reality and fantasy for me so that I know the difference and can tell which fantasies would land me in a heap of trouble and which ones make for a fun night with Adam.

The ONLY way I would mentally survive a public spanking if it was far from home with no danger of seeing anyone we know... or rather anyone we know seeing us!

It's best left in fantasyland.

Danielle: I have been spanked in "public." The first time was when a couple visited us. We met them through your blog a while ago. We are still mailing and now and then visiting.

The second time was at a spanking event.

The third time was the most public, but not much of a spanking. It was in the hospital. I was standing in front of the desk of the secretary, while Tom was parking the car. All at once, I got one swat on my behind. I was really surprised, but the secretary expected it she told me laughing. There were about 30 people around. Afterward, Tom told me everyone there was looking so serious, he wanted to cheer up the party. I felt very special, although a bit embarrassed too.

Diane: Brian may want a Sprawlmart spanking aisle, but not me. I have no desire to exhibit my personal life to the public in this manner. Home is where I prefer it.

Anon: While vacationing in Southern California, I got it into my head that I wanted a really memorable spanking. My hubby wouldn't indulge me, saying that the hotel room walls were too thin. I bratted up a storm in response, even wearing a forbidden thong to the beach. Hubby thinks that my butt is for his eyes only, and that tanning will be done by his hand alone, not by the sun. He made me change out of it into regular bikini bottoms, then accompanied me into the ocean for a dip. No sooner were we out than he told me to hand over my hairbrush from the beach bag. He knelt, draped me over his knee and paddled me mercilessly. I don't know if it was the brush, the public spectacle, the sand in my crack, the treatment on my moist rump, or what, but it hurt so bad. Hubby asked if I wanted the last ten on my bared butt, or twenty more on the seat of my swim suit. I asked that he get it over with, which he interpreted to mean the former. My bottoms came down and I got ten on my bare butt in front of God and assorted sunbathers. It was the most humiliating spanking I've ever gotten, but it also is so potent an aphrodisiac. I think back on it and am instantly horny. It was memorable, but once was enough for me out in public.

Elis: It is a life long fantasy that I am pretty sure I don't want to actually happen. Certainly not around anyone we know. But since I would be more willing than Nick would, I feel petty safe.

Veronica: The only spanking I've gotten in public was a couple of quick licks with his belt. We were walking through the parking lot up to a movie theater and I smarted off about something and I was laughing. He took his belt off faster than I had ever seen him do it before. Then he grabbed my arm, spun me around, bent me over, and gave me two good swats. There was a small group of teenagers who saw this and got a great kick out of it. I wonder if any of them will experiment with spanking because of it. :-)

I'd like to take a switching in a state park that has a heavily wooded area. The thought that people might walk by or at least hear it is a big turn on. But that'll have to remain a fantasy for now.

Patricia: Never in public. As a couple we made the choice that all spankings are between us and no one else. However, he has taken me to the "family bathroom" in Wal-Mart a number of times when he felt I was acting up.

Caryagal: I think this is probably a fantasy for most people. I know for me it adds to the excitement thinking that someone might hear. My husband has spanked me with the windows open before. I guess that would be semi public. It sure felt that way! I think a fantasy of mine might be to be spanked in front of some of our friends, but it is definitely only a fantasy! I would be mortified if it really happened!

Thank you for sharing your many varied perspectives on this complex issue. I think we must conclude that there are multiple shades of "public." The rules for each depend upon our values, interests, and comfort level.

Please be sure to stop by next Sunday for a special edition of our spanko brunch!

MBS Spanko Brunch #35

Many of us harbor fantasies of spankings in public or semi-public locales. Unfortunately, the majority of the vanilla population simply can't accept or understand these activities. As a result, we must, for the most part, enjoy our spankings behind closed doors. Do you ever wish it could be different?

Have you ever been spanked as an adult in front of other people? If so, how did you feel about this experience? If not, would you consider this kind of scenario? What elements make it exciting for you?

I invite you to submit a contribution to our brunch discussion. Please leave a comment below, send me an e-mail, or post a response on your own blog. Once everyone has provided their responses, I will publish a summary of the discussion.

Bonnie's Spankologue: Part Fifteen

There's just nothing better than a great spanko blog, unless it's three!

The Secret Life of Librarygirl - Although she hasn't worked at the library for some time, the name stuck. Library Girl is in fact an intelligent young woman and dedicated spanko blogger. For more than two years, she has shared experiences and insights regarding our favorite subject and much more. Most recently, she and her beau, Matt, attended the Shadow Lane party in Las Vegas. Her personal and light-hearted writing makes this blog a fun stop for any spanko. Facing Fear - Flinchflower is an enigma, sometimes even to herself. Remarkably self-aware and introspective, she explores her deepest doubts and strongest aspirations. The reader often feels as though they are reading a combination diary, confession, and to-do list. Flinchflower's tastes in spanking run toward classic disciplinary scenarios. She often laments the absence of a full-time disciplinarian in her life. On one hand, it would be hard to not wish that this desire be fulfilled. On the other, I think I might miss her longingly brilliant ruminations. Ruby Redd's Spanking Pages - This blog is a spanko potpourri. I've not seen another blog with this breadth of material. There are many spanking-related photos. Also to be enjoyed are film reviews, artwork, book reviews, commentary, and Web links. The most unique feature, however, is a state-by-state presentation of spanko and BDSM resources. Ruby generously serves up a little something for everyone. Check it out!

Spankings in the News

Singer and songwriter Carly Simon recently revealed that she depends upon spankings to overcome stage fright. How cool is this? I've been a fan for years, and now I learn she's a spanko too? One has to wonder whether this always sexy songstress is equally captivated by the erotic power of a warmed bottom. Either way, bravo to Carly for sharing this fascinating story!

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Sept 10

For today's brunch, we examined different types of signals that partners can use to secretly indicate their intent or desire. The responses as usual were absolutely fantastic.

Jean Marie: My mother used to warn my sisters and me, "You're on thin ice, young lady," whenever we were close to earning a trip over her knee to feel her hand (or the wooden spoon for serious offenses). When we were first dating, I shared that little detail with Kyle during pillow talk after a particularly splendid spank/fuck session. Months later, when we were in Nordstrom's Department store shoe section and I was pleading too vociferously for a pair of Jimmy Choo's, Kyle took me by the elbow and marched me out of the store, whispering, "You're on thin ice, young lady." My head exploded in fireworks and my sex instantly became aroused. I got my first semi-public spanking that day in the back seat of his car in the mall parking lot. We made semi-public love for the first time immediately afterward. That was the first time I heard those magic words from him, but not the last. That's our potent phrase.

Susan: A meaningful double pat on the seat of my tight skirt, implies a spanking to come, but seems quite a normal gesture to others.

Paul: We had two signals, the first would tell Mel that she was close to being out of order. This was a raised right eyebrow, for bratting being cheeky, pushing her luck. The second would indicate a punishment was in order, "My girl, my love or Mel, you are riding for a fall." It wasn't used often, but when it was, Mel knew she'd crossed the line.

Tiggr: Dante doesn't need to say a word to let me know I've overdone myself and bounced a bit too high. He has a LOOK, an indescribable look that somehow I am quite sure you all can picture vividly.

He also refers to me as "little girl" or comments that I'm obviously "feeling feisty" or am "needing some attention." That's all the reassurance I need to know that my bottom will soon be hot and stripeddy!

Eva: It's much like with Tiggr. I just get the look. The problem is that his look of "you are gonna get your buns warmed" and his look of lust create the same physical response in me. I don't think my body will ever know the difference. LOL

Theresa: “Just wait ‘til I get you home!” Yikes!

Todd and Suzy: The phrase "we'll talk about it later," with a slight emphasis on the word ~talk~ is a pretty good indicator. A dead give-away is saying something about *counting* as in, "we'll see if you can count to ten still" or "you should count to ten before getting that angry." That’s a sure sign that a spanking (with a set number of spanks to be counted) is coming.

The already mentioned look is another one, as in the most basic signal, a pat on the bottom with that look.

Storm Rider: Oh yeah, we have those! She usually whispers the word "asshole" and I yell "Bend over!" LOL

Mary: That secret conversation between lovers is grand. Even better than a warning is that feeling I get when I am taken out to dinner on a freshly spanked bottom. I love the twinge of remembrance as I sit, and his noticing my body stiffening momentarily. Our eyes meet, we smile, me perhaps shyly, and in a moment our secret is shared and it is a bonding of lover's speak.

The "warning" can be that gentle, normal looking pat on the behind. This is usually used when a fun, frisky spanking is coming. OR, it can be the look where his jaw is set and lips are firm with no smile. There is a slight tilting forward of his head as his eyebrows seem to raise slightly. The phrase is something along the lines of, "Are you sure about that?" This tells me that I had better think about my next action if I do not want to be over his knee. He also uses "young lady," but I can’t specifically recall how publicly. When his tone of voice is firm and directive, I respond with "Yes, Sir," almost by instinct. Even if others may hear and suspect something is up.

Padme: Usually, Master Anakin gives me the "Darth look" that tells me I have stepped a bit too far. It’s a warning that a spanking could happen if I keep going.

Tigger Too: Hmm... The lifted brow is always a good signal. So is when my hubby says, "Are you trying to get yourself into trouble?" Both make me absolutely melt!

Bonnie: Randy and I have developed quite a few signals over the years. In the early years, we set out a paddle or hairbrush. As our daughter grew older, that approach became impractical. We decided that wearing thong-style underwear was a good method for me to signal my interest. Randy is considerably less subtle, even in public. He thinks nothing of patting, grabbing, rubbing, or swatting my bottom. He derives a twisted amusement from watching me blush or others quizzically glare.

In terms of verbal cues, there are many permutations. Anytime that Randy mentions words like warm, pink, sting, heat, or glow in normal conversation, he’s talking to me about spanking. Other times, he makes some obscure reference about me needing to stand later. Regardless of the technique, I receive his message loud and clear.

Elis: I told Nick this morning that I really liked the brunch topic, but that I had nothing to add to it. He just laughed and said "It must be hell to be deprived!" Obviously, we will have to work on this. LOL

Rose: In our short time together, I've discovered TND has that look that tells me I've crossed a line. Usually, He'll ask me "what did you just say?" That’s my clue that I've got a paddling coming.

As for me, if I want a spanking, I simply resort to being my sassy self. That usually elicits the desired response from TND, a good spanking. ;-)

Caryagal: For us, it is usually a look, or "wait until the kids go to sleep then we'll talk." I know then that I'm in trouble. Another signal for us is to turn on the lava light. That’s a sure sign of what is wanted or needed.

Diane: HonBun gets to the point, without any fear. He gets face to face and tells me I need a spanking and, depending on the offense, how much it will entail.

Veronica: If I've been particularly bratty or moody, the first thing I get is the look, as so many others have written. If I keep arguing or whining or pouting, the next words out of his mouth are "keep it up." As soon as I hear those three little words, I know that I'm in for one helluva bottom warming very soon. Yeah, I hear those words pretty often. "Keep it up, just keep it up, and see what happens." LOL :-)

Lisa: As far as knowing when he is going to spank me, it is the smirk on his face and the twinkle in the eye. This only makes me become more sassy. But I haven't really figured out a way to cue him into the fact that I am interested in getting paddled. I also love the lamp idea.

Sparkle: Interesting, those top to bottom signals. Chris and I have one that comes from me, asking for a spanking, that we picked up on a newsgroup a number of years ago.

If I wear orange socks, it's a clear indication that I want to be spanked. Chris has taken this further and (if he is in the mood to spank me) stretches it out to include anything orange on me, the princess, or in our general vicinity.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your great ideas! See you next week...

MBS Spanko Brunch #34

Many spanko couples share a secret word, phrase, or gesture that clearly indicates, even in public, that a spanking is forthcoming. This is our topic for today's brunch.

Are there any signals that you or your partner use to threaten, promise, or suggest a spanking? If so, please describe these words, phrases, or gestures, and the context in which they are most commonly employed.

I invite you to submit a contribution to our brunch discussion. Please leave a comment below, send me an e-mail, or post a response on your own blog. Once everyone has provided their responses, I will publish a summary of the discussion.

The Awakening

I had planned to give you a new spankologue today. Sometimes, however, events alter my publishing schedule. I figured you wouldn’t mind a nice, fresh spanking story instead.

My first semi-conscious sensation this morning was my lover’s hands gently stroking my back. I emerged slowly from my deep slumber. My eyes opened just enough to detect light streaming in through the blinds. It was mid-morning. We had slept in. Randy’s massaging digits were by this time rubbing my hip and sliding down toward my bottom. “Mmmmm,” I uttered approvingly. I liked the way this felt. All of it – the cool morning air, the roughness of his palms against my smooth skin, my residual sleepiness, and the lust that was now swelling within me – fit well with my definition of a perfect Saturday morning.

“Turn over?” It was a both command and a query. I answered both with my compliance. Randy retrieved a favorite small leather paddle from his bedside table (I love a man who plans ahead). Upon spying the flexible, brown implement clutched in his strong right hand, I braced myself for an inevitable assault on my exposed posterior. Crossing me up, as he does so often, he merely rubbed the paddle’s surface round and round against my lower cheeks. This too was a feeling I liked. He was taking his time and making it a spanking to remember.

“Do you need the paddle?” he inquired, knowing full well what my answer would be.

“Yes,” I purred in a small voice.

“I want you to ask me to spank you.” Randy was really playing me now.

“Please, spank my bottom with the paddle,” I cooed. I did desire his vigorous attention.

“Is it a hard spanking you crave?”

“Yes, please, spank me hard.” I probably would have agreed with anything at this stage.

As soon as I spoke those fateful words, my husband knelt beside me and took aim. The first blow wasn’t severe in the least. It was a nice, crisp smack. I liked the way it felt and the way it made me feel. He continued with moderate swats to build up a nice heat on the surface of my skin. In time, he began employing a bit more wrist action to increase the sting. Still, I never felt out of control or as though the spanking was more than I wanted. In all, he probably brought the paddle down at least a hundred times, but I loved every deliciously stinging whack.

I thought the spanking might be over when Randy’s nimble fingers sought out my sexual wellspring. I instinctively parted my thighs to welcome his overture. Ambidextrous as he is, however, he was quite able to stimulate and paddle concurrently. I was panting. He holds the keys to my desire and the lock was open. Soon, I was shaking with blind erotic ecstasy.

The events that followed are still slightly fuzzy, but I’m certain that he mounted me and gave me another teeth-rattling series of orgasms. Afterward, we snuggled in bed together. We happily exchanged kisses, caresses, embraces, and “I love you’s.” It was simply wonderful.

When I went in the bathroom in a little while later, I couldn’t stop staring at the mirror image of my nicely pink bottom. Randy had to go to work for a while, but he left me with a warm glow and a smile on my face. It’s going to be a great weekend!

An Argument for the Metric System

Here's a fun adventure from my archive. I recorded this tale back in 1999. Happy Friday!

I've been trying to finish writing this story for about three days. Every time I sit down (ouch) to tell it, I seem to get distracted. This afternoon, however, all is quiet, so I'll give it another try. This is the saga of my Tuesday night paddling.

Despite a rather vigorous visit from our favorite hairbrush on Sunday, by Tuesday morning, I was again interested in generating some excitement. Call it hormones. Call it the approach of a full moon. I don't know why, but I was just eager for another amorous adventure.

My husband, Randy, works a later schedule that I do. In fact, he lives his life much the same way. Often, I leave for work before he wakes up. I kiss him and he typically mumbles something and then rolls over. On this morning, that wasn't going to be sufficient. We have an understanding that anytime I wear thong-style underwear, he is to spank me. Not only was I wearing them on this fine morning, I was wearing them to work! I was so proud of myself, I just had to wake him up to show him. He was pretty groggy, but he definitely perked up when I raised my skirt to reveal what was underneath. The response was closely akin to waving a red cape in front of a bull. He wanted to spank me right then and there. Intriguing as that offer was, there was no way. I had to get to work. He got up with the intention of spanking me, but I grabbed my coat and bag and rushed out the door. I didn't look back.

Later in the day, I called Randy at work. I wondered if he would be mad that I teased him and then ran off (BTW, that was really not my intention at all). He was remarkably subdued. I asked him if he would be home on time. He assured me that he would.

By the time I arrived home after work, my heart was aflutter with anticipation. If it was a spanking I wanted, I was now certain to get my wish. I puttered around the house finishing nothing. I answered some e-mail. All the while I pondered the spanking to come. I resolved that I wasn't going to resist. I had asked for this. Besides, although I only wanted to share my excitement that morning, the result of my enthusiasm was that I woke, teased, and then deserted my dear partner. Any way I considered it, I deserved every swat he was about to deliver.

By the time I heard Randy drive into the garage (on time!), the butterflies were as big as bats. In preparation for his arrival, I had changed into my short white lace nightgown. It's a nice blend of innocent and alluring. Underneath I wore only that thong. I was waiting for him in the kitchen when he came up the steps from the garage. I greeted him with a lover's kiss. While returning my greeting, he embraced me. As is his custom, slowly his hands moved southward. When he reached my bottom, his eyes widened and a smile crossed as he felt the thong. He walked with me into the family room. He suggested I sit down until he called me upstairs. Now those words really sent a chill through me (a short nightgown in a cold climate doesn't hurt either). He headed upstairs. I tried to get comfortable on the couch, but the anxious waiting kept me on edge, both figuratively and literally.

About ten minutes later, I heard those words I simultaneously dreaded and craved. "OK, Bon, c'mon up!" My heart was racing as I climbed the stairs step by step by step. I strode slowly into our bedroom. Randy was standing before me. He was wearing his white terrycloth robe tied at the waist. With his dark hair and moustache, he looked so sexy! In his right hand, he held the tear-shaped paddle. He wasn't cross at all. In fact, he was very sweet. He sat on the edge of the bed and placed a pillow to his left. Next, he asked me to strip. Usually when I wear a thong, I get to keep it during the spanking, but not this time. Once I was naked, he helped me down into the classic position.

Randy picked up the paddle and rested it against my cheeks. He told me that I was about to receive ten whacks. Instinctively, I arched my back and thrust my bottom upward to demonstrate my willingness. Without any delay, Randy began the paddling. He worked quickly, alternating sides and delivering hard, stinging whacks. I buried my face in the pillow. After the tenth fierce swat, he stopped. My bottom was definitely hurting, but I didn't expect him to let me off so easily. Still, when he dropped the paddle on the bed, I wondered if that was all. It wasn't.

I soon learned that he dropped the paddle in order to free his hand for other pursuits. He quickly determined that I was exhibiting that uniquely feminine expression of readiness. His fingers knew me well. They worked their special magic as I panted my way into erotic ecstasy. A few moments later, the scene changed again when I looked back to see through the corner of my eye that he had lifted the wooden paddle high above his head.

"Ten more" he said with an even tone. These were even harder than the last round. I grabbed the pillow with both hands and just held on. I was determined to see this through. Ouch! For anyone who has yet to be soundly paddled, let me tell you that it hurts a lot. I believe he gave me ten, but I sure wasn't counting.

Again he dropped the paddle, again his hands took over, and again I was most receptive. It took barely one touch before I was writhing all over again. I was lost in pleasure and pain when I heard the words "Ten more." I didn't think I needed *any* more, but I pressed my head into that pillow and stiffened my resolve. Randy didn't let up on me this third time. Even with the pillow pulled tightly around my ears, I could still hear the unmistakable thwack of wood meeting flesh. That sound echoed through my mind as each burning sting exploded across my bottom. By the time he finished this set, I was practically limp.

He rolled me onto the bed and seemingly all in one motion positioned himself atop me. We made love twice over the next hour, first strenuously and then tenderly. In between, we lay nearly motionless in bed. We were both on our sides with him immediately behind me. It was nice to feel his strong body so close to mine. He couldn't keep his hands off my glowing derriere. It was wonderful.

After an evening like this one, it seems as though a positive aura envelops our relationship for a few days. Randy treats me so nicely and I feel ready to do anything for him. I always feel energized as well. I definitely needed that bonus this week.

This was a good experience and I'm glad I asked. For those readers who've never requested that their partner give them a spanking, I encourage you to consider it. It's liberating. It's fulfilling. It's fun!
