Best Loved Tails

A reader named Amy recently told me that this blog has so many links that she doesn't know where to start. That's a fair point and one I take seriously. So I want to assist readers who experience link lock. That's a kind of temporary paralysis induced by long lists of site links.

Some of you know this blog better than I do. On this occasion, I need your guidance and solicit your assistance.

I invite you to share your five to ten best loved spanking blogs in the comments below or via email.

We're not looking for popular blogs necessarily, but those that reliably provide quality content you enjoy. If you are concerned about offending someone by omission, you may comment anonymously.

If we get enough responses, I will mark the most recommended blog links as MBS Reader Approved.

Thank you in advance for your help with this project!

Poll: Aftermath

Every spankee wants to twist around to gaze in the mirror after a spanking is finished. We wonder whether our bottom looks as bad as it feels. We wonder if there are marks and, if so, how they might compare with spankings past. Whatever the reason, we simply have to look.

This poll explores your experience with these sorts of telltale signs.

Have you (or your partner) ever...

Poll: The MBS Blogroll

I invest a lot of time in creating and maintaining links to other blogs. Many readers tell me that the blogroll is their favorite part of the blog (I take that as an indication that I need to write more articles). I am sometimes asked why there are not more F/M and/or M/M blogs listed. I haven't deliberately excluded these folks, but they are not well represented.

My question is whether you desire a more inclusive blogroll.

Which types of blogs should I feature in the MBS blogroll? M/F only M/F and F/F M/F, F/F, and F/M M/F, F/F, F/M, and M/M Some other combination Current Results
