Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Jan 29

Our topic of the week was making sure a spanking is “even” across both sides. Here are your thoughts.

Abby: Master is an engineer. He always likes to have everything nice and even!

Sunny Girl: My husband is precise in everything he does, including spanking.

Dragon's Rose: If it is a fun spanking, he may give a few extra swats to even out the pink.

Julie: I either want it completely the same, or sometimes I spank on only one side, leaving the other lily white.

Scunge: It drives me CRAZY when R chooses to spank with an uneven number. I actually ASK for even!

Spanky: I frequently do this during our OTK spankings, which are given bare handed, to even out the glow. When spanking OTK, I get different angles with each hand, so the results are somewhat different depending which side I'm working on and which hand I'm using. I like to keep things nice and even, and I never spank only one side during a session!

With larger paddles, she gets both sides at once. With smaller paddles, I like to keep the sides even also.

I think Kallisto feels good about it. I'm not getting any complaints!

L.: He's not systematic. Sometimes, he'll unintentionally land too many swats on one side. I point it out to him and he obliges me by evening things out.

Penelope: There's no real obsession with symmetry in our little spanknest. I generally prefer a nice right-left, right-left as the basis of my spanking, but anything thrown in to vary it is perfectly OK. A sudden succession of spanks to one cheek can make for a really nice extra punishment (for example, for answering back).

Hermione: I hate the feeling of being uneven, and my husband is usually pretty good about delivering the same number of swats to each side. Sometimes, I get a few in a row on one cheek before he delivers the same on the other, but more often it's single spanks on each one in turn.

In a playful situation, he sometimes gives me a spank or two on one side then stops. I'll often ask him to "even me out."

Prefectdt: This spankee appreciates this technique a lot. I hate that one-sided feeling, especially in an OTK spanking where the spanker has over favoured the far buttock.

Kitty: I get spanked unevenly at times (during punishment, usually).

Six of the Best: I try to give both sides of a woman's delectable bare derriere equal justice. Yes, I try to make them evenly blushing red.

Lea: Yes, I've received extra swats many times to even things out. I don't ever get fully spanked on just one cheek, which would be horrid, but especially with being OTK one side tends to get it a little more than the other. So, it happens.

Rod: I can't see the point, really. Surely we play these games for the pain and pleasure, the endorphin high.

Ronnie: P sometimes spanks one cheek more than the other intentionally and then, of course, he has to even up the heat/colour of the other cheek. This can go on for a while. :)

Naughtyney: My top is very aware of whether my bottom is getting rosy enough. So I often get a few extras on one side or the other if I'm not quite rosy enough. The problem is that this includes the thighs. Ugggghh.

Sarah Thorne: I've had it happen, but it's not been anything obsessive, excessive, or noteworthy really. So I don't really have an issue with the technique.

Michael: Is Randy's interest in symmetry just an excuse to smack your bottom more or does he have a touch of OCD? :-)

I try to even swats out on Season's bottom to avoid having one cheek show bruises. That's something we don't like. We prefer her to have a nice even glowing red bottom. Though during Season's spanking, I will not just alternate cheeks as that gets too metronomic and unimaginative. It drives Season wild and I need to hold her tightly in place when I give her many consecutive spanks on the same spot then repeat this process on her other cheek to even her out. I will also tease her and say one cheek is redder than the other and proceed to smack one side then say "Oops" now that side is too red so I must slap her other cheek. In theory, I could keep this up indefinitely, but will soon stop after Season whines and pouts, but only to move onto the more amorous part of her spanking. ;)

I think it's both!

Elysia: Yes, Henry will deliver extra spanks to one side to even things up. I brought the question to him for his input, and he said the reason is that the outside cheek often gets an unfair amount of attention, so he will deliver some more purposefully to the inner cheek. This is a regular part of maintenance and erotic spankings. If it's a punishment spanking, it's administered deliberately to the "sweet spot" only. There's never any movin' around on his part anyway (giggle). I think Henry has the techniques "down pat" or "down spank." What he does, does the job for both of us. ;-)

Oh, and one time he asked me to get up and lay over on his other side. That REALLY evened things up!

R Humphries: Symmetry is poetry, and poetry is spanking up one buttock cheek and back down the other, so to speak. Of course, originating from the shores of Blighty, everything spanking is dominated by the magic spanko number of six. Whether using a cane, paddle, hairbrush, slipper, strap or simply your hand, as long as you deliver in sets of six, everything will remain symmetrical. Whoa, that was geekish!

TheVBB: My wife likes to visit both sides and leave each side equally red when she gives me an OTK. She actually looks for any white spots and actually seems excited when she finds one. She goes right after the white spots to make sure every inch is red. When she is giving me school type paddlings, she does not focus so much on getting both sides even, she just goes at it. This technique usually leaves one side more red. I try to help her out by moving to one side, but she usually adjusts her swing.

When we are having a session with our disciplinarian there is not an issue with one side being uneven as my wife is right handed and our disciplinarian is left handed. So when the team up my poor bum is thoroughly spank evenly.

Bonnie: Randy and I agree about the need for spankings to be even. I hate that lopsided feeling where one cheek is on fire and the other feels barely touched. He takes pride in his thoroughness and even a casual spanking includes attention to both sides.

Evening up is particularly an issue when he uses longer implements and sometimes OTK. As others have observed, the far cheek is often struck with greater velocity and more leverage. As a result, it quickly becomes redder, sorer, and more thoroughly punished. Extra swats to the nearer cheek correct this inequity.

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your insights and your weekend with us. See you next time!
