A Celebratory Spanking

I promised to share the details of my recent birthday spanking. It happened on a Wednesday evening after work and before dinner.

When Randy closed up his work for the day, he announced that it was spanking time. I knew it was my birthday. We’d even talked about it. But I was busy with my own work and didn’t really ponder our celebration. Even when he mentioned a spanking, I envisioned one of our regular over-the-couch skirt-flipper variety. He just glared at me until I grasped his meaning. Oh, yeah, that spanking.

He escorted me to the basement where our spanking bench was already set up. Mercifully, he let me retain my clothes. It’s cold down there! I placed my wrists and ankles into the restraining cuffs as Randy secured them. I wasn’t going anywhere now.

He then lifted my skirt to reveal my bare bottom in preparation for spanking me. This is real, I thought. I saw the long punishment cane hanging on the wall near the bench. I expected that I would soon feel its blazing mark a whole lot of times.

But no. Spankings from Randy are seldom quite that simple. I should know that by now. When the first swat landed on my left cheek, it felt familiar – warm, stinging, good. After the second smarting swat landed on my other side, I broke the code. That lovely ouch was generated by my favorite leather paddle.

Randy counted as he totaled up my accumulated years. As usual, his counting skills were inexplicably deficient resulting in numerous uncounted impacts. But this spanking while painful was not unpleasant. I struggled against the bonds, but there was no place I would rather be. I absorbed many extra swats “to grow on.”

By the time he finally released me, my bottom was extremely warm to the touch, and it did get touched, a lot and in the best possible ways. Yes, this was a fine birthday.

A Spanko Birthday

I'm celebrating a birthday today. It's one of those milestone birthday numbers. I think I should celebrate. I'm still around and some of my peers are not. That's good, for me at least. I'm pretty healthy and I can do most of the things that matter to me. I like that.

But damn, I got old all of a sudden. That grandmother who stares back at me in the mirror is not how I picture myself. But that's me. Being a senior citizen is no picnic, but it's the only game in town. So hooray, I guess.

Yes, since you asked, I'm sure there will be a birthday spanking, but it has not happened yet. Film at eleven.

A Small Celebration

So it's my birthday. Not a milestone or a round number, but it is a power of two. I am happy to report that Randy still needs me and still feeds me. But this is a spanking blog and you're here, I imagine, to hear about whether I got a birthday spanking. At the risk of killing the suspense, I did indeed. It was a lunchtime session and a fun one at that.

"OK, let's go," he called out as I started to heat my lunch. I know what those words mean, and under the circumstances, I wasn't inclined to argue. I positioned myself over his lap on the couch in the living room. It's a very familiar and otherwise comfortable spot. As I flipped up my skirt, Randy grabbed my favorite leather paddle from the table beside the couch where it was conveniently stashed. There are no bad spankings with this paddle, only good. And this time didn't disappoint.

Since today is my birthday, Randy didn't make me count. He did it for me, although I'm fairly certain I absorbed way more than the designated number of birthday swats. No matter, it was thoroughly enjoyable, and I am left with a warm, stinging glow that makes me happy.

In a future post, I'll tell you about my gift, after we test it.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch For Sep 20

Our topic this week was birthday spankings. Here are your thoughts.

Ally: My birthday is in a few days so I am looking forward to my very first birthday spanking! I'll let you know how it goes...

Mick: For my birthday, I think I'm going to give Lynda a spanking. :)

Pammie: I remember receiving birthday spankings from my father when I was kid – under 12 years old, of course. This year was the first year since then that I got a birthday spanking. We didn't have any ritual, but it was a multi-dimensional experience – a little OTK with his hand, a little paddling, and my first experience with the cane. What fun. I think it's a great birthday tradition!

Todd and Suzy: We've enjoyed birthday spankings since we first got together, with Suzy talking both hers and mine. The "naughty" years get a little extra hard swat (terrible 2s, "sweet" 16, and so on). There's always one to "grow on" too. Last year, we were spending the weekend with some spanko friends on Suzy's birthday, so there were lots of birthday spankings. It was a lot of fun. We have always kept birthday spankings playful and pretty similar to how "vanillas" might do it.

Speaking of vanilla birthday spankings, we've both been around quite a few. It hasn't happened in a long time now though. We really weren't fully in touch with being spankos back then. Maybe it's not politically correct anymore. I know when we were kids, a teacher wouldn't blink about giving a "birthday spanking." Now, they have to think twice before touching a kid's shoulder. It's a different world.

Spanky: Kallisto always insists on receiving a birthday spanking! I think last year I administered it with our large wooden paddle, but I am not sure. Turn about is not fair play in our case, as she knows better than to try and spank me on my birthday.

Anon: I got a birthday spanking in school one time. It was in kindergarten. The teacher had a special heart shaped pillow that had some birthday wish on it (I can't remember what it said because it has been nearly 15 years since I was in kindergarten!). If the birthday child wanted, he or she would lay across the teachers lap and she would very gently pat the child's (fully clothed, obviously) behind five or six times depending on the age. Then we got cupcakes. I'm sort of surprised it was okay in a public school in the mid-nineties, now that I think about it.

Indy: I had my first birthday spanking (that I remember, anyway) last year, when I turned 43. I remember that I got a particularly hard swat on 21, and for balance, of course, on 22 as well. I remember thinking, “OMG, we're barely halfway there and I'm feeling old for the first time since I turned 30.” The other thing I noticed was that, in addition to the one to grow on, there was one added for luck. I think that's a devious spanko ploy, as I'd never heard of that before!

This year, a blogger I like quite a bit was looking for volunteers to take a birthday spanking in her honor. We share the same birthday, and she is literally half my age, so I graciously volunteered to take hers instead of mine.

Predictably, I ended up taking hers in addition to mine. Twice, as I recall...

Hermione: We don't do birthday spankings. I always ask for one, but somehow that request falls on deaf ears. Maybe someday!

LU: Here's kind of funny story. My birthday this year was what actually gave me the courage to out myself as a spanko to Ru. We kept kidding around about a birthday spanking and he told me I would get a one. Well, it did not really turn out the way I was hoping, but it certainly opened the door for me. He ended up giving me a few swats in the morning, a few on our picnic, I think, and a few more later that night. They were very light and playful and did come close to my age. But hey, like I said, it paved the way for me and we both had a lot of fun teasing each other. Next year, I am sure it will get a good one!

Lurvspanking: In our house, birthday spankings are given with great pleasure and returned with even greater pleasure. I face a high number with the paddle next month and I can't wait.

I wrote a story called Time for Your Birthday Spanking. I hope everyone enjoys it.

I can't recall witnessing any birthday spankings in person, at least in recent decades.

Complicated Kitten: My Master's birthday is only a few weeks away! I certainly hope he thinks about warming my bottom to celebrate ;-)

Our Bottoms Burn: Every year Becall and I bend the other over for birthday swats. It's a fun tradition.

Thomas: Since I use just about any reason to initiate a spanking, it's only natural that birthday spankings are on the menu. Giving someone else my birthday spanking is actually one of the only things that I ever do to celebrate my own birthday.

I remember some birthday spankings given back in first grade, I think.(It was a private school, not public). I think that I remember a few others spread around the years, but none were particularly memorable. However, if I knew it was a cute vanilla girl's birthday, I'd happily offer to give her a "birthday spanking" just for the chance to swat her bottom.

Jean Marie: Birthday spankings are the only joy in my getting older. The one I received last year made turning 30 bearable, though I couldn't sit afterward (so we found a better position).

A former boyfriend was a strip-o-gram stripper,. He said that numerous vanilla girls asked him to spank them after his performance. He claimed that he never took advantage. I've never seen a vanilla birthday spanking administered. So I don't know whether if it would turn me on as much as I imagine.

Muffin: This topic got us to thinking. It's been a long time since we've done birthday spankings, because we went ”vanilla” for a long period of time, if you can imagine that! We both were dealing with some health problems. But our birthdays aren't until the spring. It'll be March before we need a birthday spanking. I guess we could be outrageous and do an anniversary spanking next month, but it's still only seven years, so that wouldn't be much of a spanking. I guess we'll just have to wait for the spring, and then he can "LAY IT ON ME!" as Niko says on Spankingtube videos.

Abby: My second grade teacher (let's see, that would have been the 1985-1986 school year) used to give birthday spankings, but I can't remember if I actually was on the receiving end of one or if I just thought about it a lot. I wonder if my spanking fetish is actually because I was programmed early on to think that after a spanking, the whole class would have cupcakes?

Sadly, if all the readers and writers in the spankosphere had been hoping for the resulting cupcakes on my birthdays recently, they would have gone hungry. I always have some debaucherous dinner on my birthday, and since the cane would be the preferred implement for both myself and Mr. W, we just can't do both. If you've ever been firmly spanked on a full stomach, you'll probably understand.

Prefectdt: I have never had a real birthday spanking :( It is one of my biggest ambitions, to receive a real birthday spanking, from an amateur enthusiast, actually on my birthday.

Loki: I give my new wife (as of Aug 18th!) birthday spankings as much as I can. One of the best occurred while we were still living with her mother. I was inspired by a Futurama spankfic and recreated the birthday spanking in it. I gave my wife a few swats with each of my spanking toys up to her age plus one!

I did the same last year and it was even better because that was the first time in our new home! Now I have to come up with a grand one for this year. It's going to be a special year for her. A milestone in her age and she is so proud of herself.

As for me, well, I do get them too. Hopefully I will have a few new toys for her to use on me. My birthday is not too far off. It's October 8th to be exact!

Tiggs: We usually do the birthday spanking thing, with me receiving mine, Dante's and anyone else's that we find out about,. LOL That's just me, always willing to give of myself freely, lol, taking spanks for anyone, anytime.

As with anything Dante does, there is never a set routine, time, rhyme or reason, and the spankings are always memorable!

BTW, Prefectdt, I would LOVE to give you that birthday spanking! I sure wish we lived closer!

Ronnie: We definitely celebrate birthday spankings in our house. Every year is different. It depends where we are. The best one I can remember was when P spanked me with roses.

R Humphries: Despite Britain's spanking fixation, the tradition of birthday spankings did not exist until the early 1980's (at least not to my knowledge). However, it was catapulted into the headlines of the British press, who like these kind of things, when a certain member of the Royal Family visited the famous London spanking restaurant, 'School Dinners', to celebrate his birthday. Prince A. was hauled on stage and publicly spanked with a slipper to the delight of the Great Unwashed.

Of course, I immediately got in on the act and have embraced the tradition ever since. Needless to say, my beloved Jojo stands in for me on my birthday, which suits us both fine. So thanks to the US of A for introducing me to this glorious tradition.

Betina: This year, I got a spanking for my 34th birthday, but I'm not that lucky every year. Actually, I got it a few days after my birthday as the kids were home that day. He decided on a 34 hand spank warm up followed by 34+1 with a dog leg brush. Judging by the heat of my seat, I must have been "just a tad" naughty this year. I still loved it though. A few times, I've even been lucky enough to receive his spanking too. I love the tradition! As it is not a custom where I come from, I have never witnessed it.

A. Lurker: This is my first time responding to your brunch, but I couldn't resist. My husband and I both have our birthday on the same day. We are both over fifty and I am always the spankee. You do the math!

Welcome to you!

Bonnie: Thank you to everyone who offered birthday wishes.

Randy and I love birthday spanking rituals. We enjoy the traditional one swat per year of age, plus one to grow on. I take the spanking for his birthday as well.

As I have chronicled, Randy loves to concoct exotic scenarios for my annual birthday spankings. In our younger years, these spankings could be quite intense. In the last couple of years, though, Randy has moved toward a slightly more sensual approach. Either way, he usually manages to surprise and delight me.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for brunch. I hope to see you again next week.

Randy's Choice

My dear husband has reviewed all of your wonderful birthday suggestions and he has made his selection(s).

His goal was to come up with a new idea that stacks up favorably with many of his birthday plans from past years. Of course, there must be spankings involved (for the record, I have not in any sense been deprived this year).

He's decided that he likes my new drop-seat pajamas so well that he wants to order more so I can wear them every night. This week, our dogleg brush has moved from the drawer in the nightstand to the top of the nightstand. Presumably, this is so it will be close at hand when he feels the need to unbutton my seat. I appreciate all of this attention, but my bottom is mighty sore.

Anyhow, he liked Carly's suggestion of "a complete, beautiful, private space." He also liked Anna's idea about "a dream vacation, a perfect birthday spanking and sex that makes fireworks on the 4th of July seem tame." He wants me to blog about it though.

Daisy said, "Give her the birthday spanking to surpass all others." Naturally, that idea appealed to Randy and will be incorporated into his plans as well. Girl said, "I think Randy should be nice and exclude the Mother of All Paddles." That's a splendid idea, but alas, it's already been used this year. He just gave me two ceremonial swats, but that was plenty.

I love Hermione's chocolate suggestion, but Randy didn't indicate whether that would be part of the mix. Instead, he is totally pleased with Tom's thoughts. I could be in for a lot of good fortune. D's suggestion of a swanky hotel fits in quite nicely with Randy's concept as well. So do Skellos' ideas.

The plan is that we are going to a resort and spa out on the coast in two weeks! It should be sensational, and I have all of you to thank.

I'll provide updates as they become available.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Sep 28

Wow, thanks, everybody, for the great birthday celebration suggestions. During brunch, I don’t generally interject my opinion with each comment. I prefer to allow the conversation to progress on its own course. Today, however, I feel the need to provide feedback, so I have added some supplemental thoughts.

So far, I have received a very pretty necklace and earring set, new drop-seat PJs(!), and several impromptu spankings. Randy tells me there is more to come.

I am very grateful for your well wishes and creative ideas.

Anon VII: Hey, surely this question isn't really necessary, except in terms of details, now is it? (Evil Smile) Have a good one!

It is definitely all about getting the details right.

Sara: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONNIE! :)

Thank you, Sara. It’s been quite happy so far.

Carly: Oh, what would be a delicious birthday treat? Let's see, it definitely requires a complete, beautiful, private space (sound-proof, of course), a bottle of champagne for the celebration, a new sexy outfit, and lots of long, intense, personal attention to your backside from Randy!

OK, that sounds fantastic. Hon, are you reading this?

Anna: After being crowned "Queen for the Day", I think you should be treated to a fabulous breakfast in bed, an extended trip to the day spa of your choice, a five star dinner, where you will be informed that your birthday gift is your dream vacation, a perfect birthday spanking and sex that makes fireworks on the 4th of July seem tame. And Randy should blog it all for us.

I love it! I knew it would be a good idea to ask our readers.

OliviaManners: Happy Birthday Bonnie! I was thinking...

However many years are marked by your birthday today should determine how may wishes you get to make. Each wish is something that will involve Randy (and perhaps a hand or a hairbrush) So, for example, if you are 41, you write down 41 wishes (whatever they may be!) on separate pieces of paper, folded up, and placed in a jar. Over the next 41 days, Randy would pick one out of the jar and make your wish come true! Each day you wouldn't know which one he had picked, so each day would have a lovely air of surprise to it!

It would be a lovely extended celebration and lots of what you wish for. ;-) I hope you have a very special day today.

That’s a great suggestion, Olivia. But Randy might not go for it. He thinks I have expensive tastes.

Daisy: Happy Birthday, Bonnie!

Queen for the day?
Absolutely NO WAY!
Bonnie is Queen
Of the spanko scene
Randy's her king,
Giving great spankings!
And for her special day,
He must go all the way.
The spanking of the year
Really wail her rear...
The spank that beats all other
For our beloved spanko mother!
She’s our queen forevermore
Respected, loved, adored!
There must be a super celebration
For the Queen of the spanko nation!

Well, I never claimed to be a poet... So spank me! ;) ha ha

Go, Randy! Give her the birthday spanking to surpass all others, then a night to remember... ;)

Hugs, Bonnie, have a wonderful day! Love and feather pillows to you, my dear friend!

This suggestion is probably pretty close to what Randy had in mind. Thanks for the rhyme!

DG UK: Happy Birthday, and what a fun idea. Your way of celebrating shows your and Randy's openness and generosity, and all I can offer as a suggestion, is that however you celebrate, you are left feeling as your blog has often left me feeling... Smiling, known, and laughing.

Whatever Randy decides to give you for your birthday, I hope you have a fantastic time!

DG, that’s very sweet. Thank you!

Jessica: Happy birthday! You have posted a few fun creative birthday spankings. I don't think I can top what you've already done. Perhaps a stroll down memory lane? A few smacks with different implements in ranges of years of your life. My husband did that for his birthday (I got the spanks, of course). Easy spanks for the first ten years. A different style when we met. A harsh spanking during the times we had stress etc. Fun!

Thanks, Jess. We’ve done that one before, but it might be fun to repeat now that there are more years to recount.

Prefectdt: Happy birthday Bonnie and may you have many more. I have three suggestions.

1. The obvious one (well that’s going to happen whatever else you choose to do, isn't it?).


2. You can switch for the day and Randy can find out what he's been missing out on.


3. You could relax for the day while Randy takes the burden of answering all the annoying emails that you don't want to be bothered with. He can take breaks to bring you coffee/food/champagne etc.

Whatever you do, enjoy your birthday.

Thanks for your suggestions. The first is a indeed a given, though the circumstance, setting, and technique are yet to be determined. I can say with certainty that Randy has no interest in learning about what he’s missed. I think the third idea is downright hilarious. I don’t think I could convince him to answer my e-mail, but I’d love to see some of his responses.

Michael: Probably one of the nicest birthday presents you could receive from your top would be for him to become the bottom for the day. That way, you can bring to the surface all those things that you would like him to do when he is topping you, but which you, as the bottom, have been unable to request. You can get him to do those little service jobs that you would so enjoy being told to do. You can lecture and admonish him in the way you would like to be spoken to and you can give him that style of punishment or harshness of strokes which you crave, but have been unable to ask for without embarrassment. As the bottom, he has to take it all in good humour and with fortitude and respect.

Once the day is over, you don't discuss it in any detail, but in, say, couple of day’s time, you resume your position as the bottom and he gives you the topping session you have always wanted, but didn't dare ask for. Whatever you do, have a good one.

Michael, that would certainly be different! However, as I say, our respective roles really define our relationship in many ways and they fit us well. There isn’t much for which I would hesitate to ask if I truly wanted it.

Jim (switch): Linda Goodman wrote, “A Libra's best quality is the art of conversation. They are fantastic conversationalists. Although, when discussing any subject, you may find the conversation leading back toward their favorite topic of interest...”

Fits like a glove!

On your birthday you deserve the best things in life, for people like us: sparkling champagne and stinging love.

She really nailed my personality, didn’t she? Thanks for your suggestions and your well wishes!

Girl: Hmm, what to get for Bonnie's birthday? Well, I think Randy should be nice and exclude the Mother of All Paddles from your b-day shenanigans. I would call on my own spank-tastic previous birthdays for celebration ideas, but I've only had one and your arrangement somewhat differs from mine.

But, as to your butt... Well, this is terrible, I'm sure Randy will do something spectacular. Perhaps he could pick a shade of icing on your cake to match the colour he aims for on your bottom with? I do so enjoy things that match.

I do like the idea of Randy having to record the event though, and give your weary blogging fingers a rest.

Thanks for your suggestions. I’m all for skipping the MOAP, but if history provides a guide, that probably won’t happen. As it turns out, Randy is good at coordinating colors as long as they are reds and pinks. That idea could work. I’m not sure whether I could get Randy to write up the event, but he just might. I know it would be fun for our readers.

Hermione: Since spankings and chocolate are your favourite things, I suggest, in no particular order: a chocolate birthday cake, a massage with chocolate-scented oil, some fun with chocolate body paint (I hope Randy loves chocolate as much as you do) and a spanking with a giant Hershey bar.

Have fun celebrating!

How well you know me! Those are my favorites!

Terpsichore: Happy Birthday and however the two of you decide to celebrate, whether a night on the town, candle lit dinner, day at the spa... followed by lovemaking and the spanking of your dreams. Have a wonderful time! :-)

Those are some lovely thoughts, Terpsichore. Thank you!

Roissy Fille: Happy Birthday Bonnie! I wish you a wonderful year ahead.
Love and many delicious spankings

That’s very sweet. Thanks!

Mike: Happy Birthday, Bonnie! I think Randy probably knows better than any of us what a perfect birthday would be for you.

I just hope it's something you can't help to think about everyday until your next one.

He does know how to make a birthday special, but in the name of trying new things, he wanted to place this one in the hands of the MBS readership. Both of us are delighted by the initial results.

Paul: Happy birthday, Bonnie. I have no doubt that Randy knows exactly what to offer you on your birthday. Our birthdays took Mel to just a little past her expected limits and left her crying with happiness and many orgasms. Have a good one dear friend and many more.

It’s been a great birthday so far and the celebration has not yet concluded.

Anon #1: May your birthday be sweet and spicy exactly as you like it.

I sure do like sweet and spicy! Thank you!

I-Gal: Happy Birthday, Bonnie. Have a great day!

Thanks!

Raheretic: We practice a slightly enhanced birthday commemoration tradition that harkens back to the origins of the use of C. P. as a birthday ritual. In early times, whippings were administered around special holidays, including birthdays, because they blessed the recipient with fertility, or health, or good fortune in the year ahead.

I believe that the intensity of the spanking one receives surrounding his/her birthday correlates directly with the amount of good fortune the birthday celebrant will experience in the year ahead. Now in that we all certainly wish you nothing but greatest good luck in the year ahead, we could wish you too nothing but the most severe whipping ever to create the happiest and best of fortune for you in the year ahead.

Have the happiest of happiests.

Fertility? Eek! I’d prefer to stick with just health and good fortune. Anyhow, on that scale, this is shaping up to be a pretty fine year ahead. Thanks!

Daisy: To those suggesting a switch, I definitely get the impression, folks, that this is not something either Bonnie or Randy enjoy. They have the best communication channels between them of anyone I know. Bonnie can always tell Randy what she wants, and on the other hand, Randy knows Bonnie so well, I bet he already knew what she wanted! They are soulmates. Randy is indulging our egos. I bet he already has his surprise planned. He wouldn't have left it this late to plan her special day!

Have fun, you two, and may many happy years lie ahead!

No worries, Daisy. I’m not offended by suggestions that we switch. It just isn’t our game.

Randy has shared some birthday presents and fun already, but I believe his main plan really was to hand the question over to our brunchers. I anticipate we will follow through on the selected suggestion(s) within the next week or so.

Morningstar: What more can I offer after all these wonderful suggestions? Except, may you have a spanking good day and 'wail' of a year ahead.

Aw, thanks!

D & S: We would not have the cheek to ask your age, but birthday spankings usually mean a number of spanks equal to the number of years. We are sure that would not alone do justice to that oh-so-spankable bottom of yours. Why not make a day of it? When you arose, you would go over Randy's knee for a birthday spanking (the full number!) with his hand. At lunch time, it would be a glass of champagne with another birthday spanking with a hairbrush this time. The, before you go out for your birthday dinner, you could touch your toes for the thin cane on your skirt. When you get home, it's over the sofa back, skirt up, knickers down, for your final birthday spanking with a paddle (not the MOAP). After all this, you will be perfectly placed for your final birthday gift from Randy.

Have a great and glowing day.

I’ve gotten it good today, but not quite that good, at least not so far! Thanks.

Our Bottoms Burn: I think you should get exactly what you want from Randy.

What I want? What do you think this is, my birthday? Hey, wait…

D: Happy Birthday, Bonnie!
Here’s an idea. Rent a suite at a swanky hotel and let the hotel guests wonder what's up with all that noise? ;)

Good wishes and many happy spanks!

Thanks, D. I think something similar happens almost every time we travel. We try to be discrete, but sometimes we get rather involved in what we’re doing.

Kimmy: Randy should get Bonnie a spanking bench as Bonnie has even said she wants one, but doesn't have one.

I *love* that idea! Strap me down, honey!

K: I don't have any new suggestions for how to celebrate, but have a wonderful birthday and enjoy your birthday spanking.

Thank you!

Marcus: Happy Birthday!

Thanks. It’s been mighty happy so far.

HMG: I suggest a trip down memory lane together. Remembering the best of the best times together would be fun for both of you. Maybe it could be along the lines of the old TV show, “This is your Life.”

I really like the idea of Randy blogging about this particular celebration of your life. Maybe even either a joint blog or both of you sharing each from your own perspective.

I think also that since you recently celebrated an anniversary for the blog that you should get two birthday presents 1) what he already has planned for you which I'm sure will be yummy, and 2) Him choosing three of the best suggestions and surprising you with them at his discretion. It would be nice to catch a glimpse of his mind concerning how he comes up with such wonderful plans for you.

I like the concept of “This is your (Spanko) Life.” I’ve never had much luck with getting Randy to blog though. He is much more interested in doing things than writing about doing them. But all he can say is, “No, thank you.”

We did enjoy a blogaversary spanking. True to his word, leather was the theme of the evening. He will choose one or more of these suggestions for an upcoming celebration.

Terpsichore: Wow! I want all of you to whisper ideas to my husband when my birthday comes around :-) Hope you are having a great day, Bonnie :-)

If he reads this blog, you can considered the whispering done.

Blogger Greenwoman: *grins* Happy Birthday Bonny. You've got some great suggestions here, don't you?

I imagine a very soft romantic dinner, a little dancing, and a very intense spanking ...and well, I'm sure you can figure out the rest. *grins*

Have a lovely day!

These are marvelous suggestions, yours included. Thanks!

Papa Woodie: Congrats and Happiest of Birthday Wishes!

Hopefully, he has already decided just what you need and desire.

We're just hoping you'll share some of the delicious delights with us all in an upcoming post!

Actually, Randy’s primary plan was to allow all of you to suggest a proper celebration. He likes to try a new approach every year. This year’s idea is a participatory plan.

I do plan to blog about whatever happens.

Radha: Happy Birthday, Queen B! I'm sure whatever you choose to do will be great!

Thank you!

Maryann: Happy birthday. How about another moving spanking like the limo story? Boat, plane, train...?

As far as I know, this isn’t going to be one of those planes, trains, and automobiles sort of birthdays. But with Randy, I can never be entirely certain.

Skellos: Happy Birthday, Bonnie! I hope you enjoy Bonnieday! Here are a few suggestions for you and Randy.

1. Have him take you to your favorite place, or better still have him make your favorite meal and dessert.


2. I'm sure it goes without saying that you two will be enjoying some quality intimate times, but I had to throw it on the list of things to do. LOL


3. Have him light a few candles and give you a bath while you enjoy a glass of wine.

Once again, Happy Birthday!

Thank you, Skellos. Those are all favorites and I appreciate you suggesting them.

Dragonmage: I have nothing to add to the list of ideas already here, but I certainly want to wish you a wonderfully happy birthday from myself and luvbunny.

Thanks to you both!

Well, I guess the next move is Randy’s. I posted the question. You answered it. Now, he gets to figure out which suggestion(s) he likes best. As I say, I will be blogging more about this subject as I learn more. Thanks, again, to one and all!

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Oct 7

Our topic this week was birthday spankings. Here are your observations.

Anon: I used to work at a heavy equipment dealership where the guys in the shop were known for birthday spankings. They (age 18-40) had a paddle in the break room and would have cake and spanking at lunch. I never attended their ritual, but I am sure it was over the coveralls. However, I would be in the front office fantasizing about the birthday spanking in the shop. It was always on the bare in my fantasy and sometimes the guys would turn the paddle on my sassy tail. Yes, the emotions crossing my face after lunch had all the guys wondering what I had done for lunch.

Dove: Wow, I didn't know it was also a vanilla ritual. Perhaps it is an American thing as I have never heard of it in Australia or New Zealand. Or perhaps I was too sheltered *blushes*.

I am looking forward to my very first birthday spanking next June for my 40th. I can't wait.

Todd and Suzy: Suzy gets a birthday spanking every year. It’s the traditional birthday number, plus "one to grow on." It's fun and erotic with only a few of the spanks being harder. That way, it's something to look forward to. A birthday spanking should be something the birthday girl really likes, after all.

Now, Suzy always wants to ~give~ a birthday spanking too. She gets a big kick trying to pull that off. "It's tradition" is her argument. A lot of what we do to celebrate a birthday harkens back to our youth, and that's what makes it so much fun. For us, growing up in the era we did, birthday spankings were a very regular thing. We try to do that kind of spanking now, the playful and silly kind of birthday spanking.

Birthday spankings don't seem to be as popular these days though. Neither one of us can recall the last time we saw/heard of one of our vanilla friends getting a birthday spanking. We do like to joke about it though... LOL We’re hoping we can spark the idea into reality. No luck though!

Jim: Sadly, we don't have this tradition in the UK. Our nearest equivalent is birthday bumps. That involves four people in each taking hold of an arm or a leg, and then bumping the birthdayer's bum on the floor, the requisite number of times. It is usually a lot of fun. But speaking personally, I would prefer we adopt the US custom. That way, I would have the opportunity to offer my female associates a spanking once a year!

Paul: Jim must come from a different UK than I do. The orphanage had a tradition of birthday spanking and they weren't much fun.

My wife's family still does birthday spanking, my eldest niece who has five children regularly gives birthday spankings, it's a time of great hilarity. She prefers me to give her spanking she says her partner spanks too hard.

We had a tradition of three anniversary spankings -- her birthday, my birthday and our wedding anniversary.

Mel's butt was well red because they weren't light spankings. But like all spankings, they reaffirmed the bonds between us. After the spanking, as Sar puts it, "the band plays on, and stuff."

Jim: Paul, I am definitely from the UK, but I have never encountered a tradition of birthday spanking here, not in my family life, my school life nor my work life. I have noted allusions to birthday spanking in American media of all types. But I have never, ever, noticed anything similar on British TV. Given the British obsession with corporal punishment,, one would expect the custom to have some salience in the workplace, pubs, etc.

Scout: I love reading your accounts of your birthday spankings. It occurred to me that it was about six weeks after my birthday when I first got up my nerve to talk to my husband about spanking. We started it then so I haven't had that experience yet. My birthday's more than four months away, which gives me plenty of time to introduce that twist to him. I'm sure he'll oblige, but, knowing Jim, it'll be rather straightforward (e. g., no limo!).

When I was a kid growing up in the American Midwest, birthday spankings were regularly given in school. I got one in kindergarten, at lunch, by the principal. I got another one in sixth grade by the gym teacher, who would end physical education class once a week by selecting someone to spank. I remember going to the girls' bathroom afterwards and craning to see the red handprints left on my cheeks.

Paige: Totally, Bonnie! Well, I get them, at least! LOL! My hubby gives them to me after I open my presents, but before cake!

Padme: I always get a birthday spanking every year from Master Anakin. I will be getting my birthday spanking on Saturday night as midnight rolls in for Oct. 14th. We have a poll going at Journey to the Darkside where you can vote on what spanking toy to use for my birthday spanking. So far, Anakin's paddle and his hand are tied for the lead. :)

I also always take Master Anakin's birthday spanking for him when it's his birthday. I get spanked the number he is turning.

Hermione: Like Jim, I am familiar with the bumps. We always used to give them at birthday parties and at school. My husband, who grew up in a different part of Canada than I did, had never heard of them. Both of us have heard of birthday spankings, but have never actually seen anyone give one. I'm sure they would be out of the question at children's parties now.

I've never had one, yet. Each year, weeks before my birthday, Ron asks me what I'd like. Each year, I tell him, "A good hard spanking." I don't need 'stuff' but he always buys me a lovely gift anyway. This year I'm going to ask specifically for a birthday spanking, so as to introduce the topic in advance (It's five months away so I'll have plenty of time to work up the courage). Then I'll remind him on the day, and we'll see what happens!

Mary: I love my birthday spankings! It just is a wonderful way to start of a new year. Last year he even gave me a gift of a new spanking toy to use for my spanking.

Jean Marie: In my opinion, birthday spankings are the only benefit of getting older (Wisdom and experience are vastly over-rated!).

But your question reminded me of a very fond memory. The husband of my best friend threw Amy a big surprise party for her 30th birthday a few years ago in the town where I used to live. I knew this couple to be conservative and vanilla. Amy and I were like sisters, so I kept secret my lesbian attraction to the petite blond. It also was tough hearing her complain over coffee about her husband, Brad, when I thought that he was gorgeous and virile.

So LOTS of people attended the big bash in their backyard. As soon as Amy's parents left to drive home, Brad clinks a glass, gets everyone's attention, pulls out a chair, and calls Amy to him. I thought it was to give her a special gift, but I fantasized about her being bared and spanked in front of all assembled. My fantasies were realized, well, mostly, much to my amazement. He smirkingly lectured her and she looked blushingly admonished. He took her by the wrist. She didn't resist. He sat, and she went OTK. Amy's short jean skirt rode up and her skimpy panties became visible. Brad gave her thirty semi-sound swats. The crowd laughed loudly, covering the fact that I was panting by the tenth and salivating before the twentieth. Oh, and my mouth was dry, too. He put her on her feet. She rubbed her seat. I felt the heat.

He stood and they kissed. He then gave her the keys to a new car. Amy squealed with delight. I retired to the bathroom, where I locked the door and masturbated furtively to an intense orgasm. I cleaned-up, opened the door, and there stood Amy, who pushed her way inside and me back in as well. She gushed about her new set of wheels as she unabashedly pulled up her skirt and looked at her panty-clad rear in the mirror, pulling one leg hem aside at a time to see how red her buttocks were. I tried to be supportive of her glee as I silently gushed at the view. She asked if I was alright. I answered that I felt feverish, which was true.

I wished her many happy returns and left, visualizing her spanking and that adorable tush in the bathroom the whole way home. When I got home I stripped off clothes all the way to the bathroom where I filled a bubble bath and soaked and diddled. My lover at the time came home from his regular Saturday golf game an hour or so later and caught me with my hands in the cookie jar. I got a spanking that rivaled Amy's in duration and velocity on wet cheeks. At the conclusion, we made love on the tile floor.

Birthday spankings hold a special place in my... ah... heart.

Bonnie: We love birthday spanking rituals. Randy and I enjoy the traditional one swat per year of age, plus one to grow on. As Padme described, I take the spanking for his birthday as well.

As chronicled elsewhere, Randy loves to concoct exotic scenarios for my annual birthday spankings. In our younger years, these spankings could be quite intense. In the last couple of years, though, Randy has moved toward a slightly more sensual approach. Either way, he usually manages to surprise and delight me.

I hear a lot of presumably vanilla people joke about birthday spankings, but I haven’t witnessed the actual event in many years. If the photographs that people post on Flickr and Photobucket are any indication, I must simply travel in the wrong circles.

PK: My first adult birthday spanking was last year when I turned 50. I loved it. Nick used a different implement for each decade and made each one count! When he finished he asked me if the count was right. I told him yes and he said "Good, the rest is gravy!"

Lee: Oh, the stories. It doesn't happen so much anymore (now that I live in a somewhat prudish college town where they tend to, ah, look down on that sort of thing). But when I was very young (elementary school, so maybe 7 or 8), I had a next door neighbor who thought it would be hysterical to give me birthday spankings. Of course, by that time, I was already fascinated with spanking, so I halfway encouraged it by making sure to antagonize him on my birthday (it should be noted that this neighbor was the dad of one of my friends). I recall one where I was sure I'd gotten away with it by repeatedly riding by on my bike. My mistake came when I switched to roller skates (not so hard to grab an eight year old on roller skates). Sadly, there have been no good stories since.

OPB: Like Jim, I had bumped and been bumped on birthdays a lot, but I'd never heard of birthday spankings until I discovered the spanko community online.

I don't think the bumps are as common as they used to be, as my children have never mentioned them. The last time I participated, the birthday boy was the manager of our football team, and he was in his mid-fifties. It seemed a lot more hazardous than a spanking would have been.

Bethie: I posted about my recent birthday spanking on my blog a few days ago. I'll put up another post though in honor of the brunch. I think it's a great tradition.

I've always loved birthday spankings! They're so much fun and it makes the day extra special. ;-)

I'd like to offer my humble gratitude to everyone who has contributed to our Sunday brunches over the past ninety weeks. I learn something new almost every week and numerous readers have written to indicate that they do as well. Thank you all for sharing your wisdom and experience!

A Happy Birthday

I've been promising to share last week's birthday spanking and I finally got around to finishing the account. Here's what happened, as a stream of consciousness narrative.

Whack!	Ow! That first swat is harder than I expected.
Whack!	My lover’s stiff palm again makes contact with my taut flesh.
Whack!	This isn’t quite the birthday spanking I had imagined.
Whack!	The readers voted for a hand spanking.
Whack!	I figured I would be draped across Randy’s lap.
Whack!	I pictured something a bit more intimate. In fact, I envisioned something downright sensual.
Whack!	But here I am, standing, bent over in the middle of the bedroom.
Whack!	Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!
Whack!	Yes, I know spankings are supposed to hurt, but yeow!
Whack!	His hand feels just like a paddle as he spanks me.
Whack!	He must be applying his full force into each swat.
Whack!	I don’t think he expected to be using his hand when he proposed that reader poll.
Whack!	He usually chooses either a big wooden paddle or a nasty brush for birthday celebrations.
Whack!	He’s really targeting my sit-spots.
Whack!	The spanks are getting harder, if that’s possible.
Whack!	Ooooo. He’s really laying into me now.
Whack!	But, you know, I rather like that burning, tingling sensation.
Whack!	It’s been way too long since he really spanked me good and hard.
Whack!	Wow!
Whack!	He told me that he originally wanted to try this spanking outside.
Whack!	Rain, unfortunately, had changed his plans.
Whack!	He has placed his hand on the small of my back, both to steady me and to ensure I can’t back away from the coming blow.
Whack!	He always has to try to surprise me, and he usually does.
Whack!	This year, neither the implement nor the locale were a surprise.
Whack!	But the position and the way he has conducted the spanking surely was.
Whack!	He definitely knows how to make it burn.
Whack!	His pace is steady and deliberate.
Whack!	He’s a sexy man and I’m glad he’s mine.
Whack!	I think I’m about ready to be done with this part and get on with the lovemaking.
Whack!	I wonder how many more years we’ll be able to continue this ritual.
Whack!	I don’t ever want to quit. There’s something deliciously formal about it.
Whack!	The rules are always the same – one swat per year.
Whack!	No matter whose birthday it is, he gives and I receive.
Whack!	I’ll bet his hand hurts too.
Whack!	He always claims, as he reaches for a paddle, that my bottom is a lot harder than his hand.
Whack!	But there’s no paddle tonight, or at least, not so far.
Whack!	Birthday spankings sure take a lot longer than they used to!
Whack!	I can’t believe I have to go to work tomorrow.
Whack!	I’ll probably want to stand all day.
Whack!	This really hurts!
Whack!	We have to be nearly finished.
Whack!	How come I’m not wearing a stitch of clothing and he’s fully dressed?
Whack!	All of a sudden, I feel cold. OK, parts of me feel cold.
Whack!	Eeeeek!
Whack!	Spankings make me feel very submissive.
Whack!	It’s hard to hold the position this long.
Whack!	I have to imagine that my poor rear is bright red by now.
Whack!	One thing about Randy’s hand is that my skin doesn’t go numb the way it can sometimes with a heavy paddle.
Whack!	Are we done yet?

…And then there was one to grow on. Randy retrieved from our closet the dreaded Mother of All Paddles. I figured that accursed plank would have to make an appearance. Though banned as inhumane for everyday spanking activities, Randy still drags it out once each year. That day, it seems, is at hand.

Rather than just getting on with it, Randy felt the need to tease. He rubbed the sanded hardwood against my already toasted cheeks. He tapped a few times before resuming his rubbing.

“All right already!” I moaned. I didn’t really want a gigantic swat, but I was sick of waiting.

BOOM! The sound reverberated off of the walls and the force of the impact nearly pushed me over. I raised myself to a standing position, all the while vigorously rubbing my bare, punished bottom with both hands. That swat hurt even more than I remembered. OK, I was now thoroughly and completely spanked. If last colossal whack was one to grow on, I should soon be an Amazon.

Randy hugged me and again wished me a happy birthday. When we separated, we moved to the bed where he made ensured my birthday happiness. He quickly gained my full attention with his darting tongue. As I was situated on my back, he lapped and flicked my pleasure nub. Already aroused by his slow, ritualistic spanking, I soon found myself writhing with unbounded pleasure.

Just as I began to settle back to Earth, Randy climbed atop me and we joined. I wrapped my arms around his strong torso as he drove home his message of love. It felt wonderful to be one flesh again, grinding in unison toward our common joy. He left me breathless and profoundly satisfied.

This was a fine birthday. I might say it was unconventional, were that not true of most such celebrations at our house. We have a lot of fun with birthdays. They mark another good year for which we can be grateful. A very good year...
