Five Million Hits

Wahoo! Five million hits! How cool is that?

OK, so how does one celebrate five million of anything? If twenty five is silver and fifty is gold, I suppose five million must be satire. If that's not right, I'll take my spanking later. But for the purpose of this commemorative post, satire it shall be.

I've provided MBS stories, tutorials, and brunches in the form of convenient drop down boxes on the right side of the page. If you haven't looked around, I invite you to tour these highlights. The goofy stuff, however, is randomly sprinkled through two and half years of posts. Until now, that is.

A lot of my satirical material is based upon a fun, albeit frivolous, assumption that recreational spanking is as mainstream as golf or quilting. What would such a world be like?

Well, there would be restaurants, resorts, festivals, fairs, museums, comedy routines, and competitions. There might also be seats of higher learning, and spanking research facilities.

For media, we would have news, classic game shows, television networks, and even radio. Magazines might include horoscopes, etiquette columns, know your (spanko) partner tips, vocabulary builders, and suggestions for naming paddles.

Naturally, we would need home decorating suggestions and consumer products as well.

No spanko's calendar would be complete without National Erotic Spanking Month and Romantic Spanking Month. If that were enough inspiration, this poster would surely make one's imagine drift toward visions of sweetly reddened flesh.

This imaginary world would be a very different place, but I'm quite confident that we'd all fit in quite comfortably. OK, perhaps not all that comfortably, but it would be fun!

Thanks to you, my dear readers. Your continuing support makes this venture worthwhile.

Four Million

Can you believe it? Four million times someone's index finger clicked on a link leading to My Bottom Smarts. Four million.

There are, of course, many blogs that get more traffic than this one. But that's still a mighty big number. I think we have to conclude that people are interested in recreation spanking. Lots of people, in fact.

So, here's to you, fellow lovers of the warm pink flesh! You make this journey worthwhile. Thank you all for your ideas, your comments, your words of support, your loyalty, and your affection.

Recap: MBS Sunday Brunch for Jan 21

Thanks to one and all who participated in our first anniversary spanko brunch! Here are your thoughts about spanking celebrations.

Lisa: Ed and I really don't have any spanking traditions for celebrating birthdays or anniversary. That’s probably because we never have really celebrated much. We have recently taken a little vacation for our anniversary, but that is always a snuggle and reconnection time for us.

Rivka: Rico and I try to incorporate a spanking into just about every holiday. Of course, I'm always the one getting the spanking! =) The best are anniversaries and birthdays.

After we get married, and our anniversary date changes, so will the spanking surrounding it. It will be a lot more intimate, and have a lot more meaning to it. On our wedding night, I'm going to give myself to him as his total submissive and a sort of "initiating" spanking will occur. Each year it will repeat as a reminder of our love and commitment.

Kallisto: Being relatively new spankos, we hadn't incorporated spankings into celebrations. I have now enjoyed a great birthday spanking though, and I am sure we will continue that trend!

Don: The fair Dorothy's birthday is in August, so we make the whole month Birthday Month. She may not be spanked every day, but most days. This may not be any different from other months, but it does get us in a celebration mood.

Tigger: What an apropos question, Bonnie, since today is my birthday! And yes, we're definitely going to be incorporating some spanking-related activities! Not just for birthdays, either, but for our anniversary and Valentine's Day as well as Christmas and New Year's Eve, too!

Paul: Mel and I always tried to make sure that we had a few hours to ourselves on birthdays, holidays and anniversaries.

On these occasions, I always gave Mel an extra special good girl spanking, usually with toys of her choice. Sometimes, she'd be blindfolded and have to guess what I was using. Other times, she would throw dice to select implements. On the longer holidays, dice or a sort of lottery might be used to select what scene we would play, naughty schoolgirl, slave/harem girl, bad secretary, or one of our favourites, biker and bimbo.

I doubt if I need to elaborate how these games ended, as this isn't a XXX blog. I'll spare your blushes. WEG.

Mary: Happy Birthday Tigger! For my birthday, I definitely get a very good girl birthday spanking. It usually plays off the numbers in my new age. I turned 39 this year, so there were MANY ways to add, subtract, multiply, and divide these numbers into interesting spanks with various implements. I even got a new toy to be spanked with (which I was skeptical about, after all who is really getting to play with the toy?) On his birthday, he can pick the fantasy and spank me accordingly. I usually gift him something sexy being worn by me. (My twist on who gets to use the present and who gets to enjoy it theme) Other holidays are not so spanking focused, but definitely birthdays have been.

Jigsaw Analogy: Generally, my birthday celebration includes a spanking, and this is good. Beyond that, we make some effort to go somewhere away from home so we can have some privacy (we must be one of the few couples around who will go to a play party solely for privacy!).

My favorite, I think, is from a couple of years ago, when W. had me meet her in the city, with strict instructions about what to bring along. We had a nice dinner, and then went to a play party, where I got a great deal of very yummy spanking (schoolgirl themed). Then, at midnight, she brought out an elaborate feast, which we shared with some of our friends, and I received my official birthday spanking.

Other times have been less elaborate, but no less satisfying.

Non-birthday holidays, and W's birthday tend not to be celebrated with spankings, though (I think I've given W. a birthday spanking or two, but it's not something she would seek out for herself, so I usually don't).

Bonnie: Randy and I are quite fond of celebratory spankings. I’ve chronicled quite a few here, including Valentine’s Day, Vacation, Birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.

A spanko celebration is generally accompanied by plenty of kidding, laughing, and joviality. The spanking itself can be prolonged by thematic banter and good natured ritual. These sessions are always great fun, but they also serve to strengthen the bond between us.

See you next Sunday!
