Sweet Sixteen

It was a rainy Saturday, sixteen years ago today. I had been reading spanking blogs and thought that I could do this too. Randy and I had a lengthy conversation where we established general boundaries about the types of content that the blog will and will not contain. With his blessing attained, I typed these first words:

Hi! My name is Bonnie. I'm a forty something female who enjoys many interests. Among the more notable are spanking and lovemaking. To me, these two activities are permanently linked. I can barely conceive of one without the other. I created this site to share some of my experiences. I sincerely hope that you will be interested, amused, entertained, stimulated, enlightened, or educated. If so, then this effort was worthwhile.

I proactively answered some questions that I still hear:

To answer a few obvious questions: Yes, I really do receive spankings. Yes, it does hurt. Yes, I enjoy the sensation, the ritual, and, of course, the fabulous sex that generally follows. ...and yes, these stories are true (plus or minus a wee bit of journalistic license).

Then I finished with a little spanko humor:

So if you're ready to read, I'm ready to assume the position.

I expected the blog might last a month or two before I either ran out of content or lost interest. I kind of wanted to see if I could do it.

I’ve assumed the position, both figuratively and literally, numerous times since then. Blogging has changed. We have changed too, as people, as a community, and as a world. But all those spankings are still the same, as is the way I feel when I get to be the willing recipient.

Readers used to repeatedly ask me when I was going to quit the blog. They don’t ask anymore. I figure that means either (a) they more fully appreciate the inherently ephemeral nature of this medium, or (b) blogs are just not as important in their lives as they once were. In any case, I still find it enjoyable to exchange thoughts with my spanko friends. So onward we go.

In closing, I want to offer my sincere gratitude to everyone who reads, comments, emails, spanks, or dreams. You make my life better.
