Spanko Brunch 2.0 #608

Welcome, one and all, to our weekly get together to discuss all things related to spanking. I'm a big fan of the Spanking Library, and something I have noticed in many stories, besides the inevitable spanking of course, is the inclusion of corner time. Sometimes it happens before a spanking, more often after, and even in between rounds of over the knee. 

Do your spankings ever include a period of corner time? If so, is this a regular occurrence? If not, is it something you would be interested in trying?

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion once everyone has had an opportunity to respond.

What? No Spanking?

After seeing my post last week with a map of fetishes in the UK, our good friend Rosco wondered if there was a similar map for the US. He actually found one and left the link in a comment. In case you didn't follow it, here is the map of fetishes in the US,and a link to the full article here

There are  a few I've never heard of. But what is odd is, there is no state in which spanking is the most popular fetish. I wonder why. Maybe that explains a lot about that country. Just saying.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 7

Do your spankings have a 'grand finale'?

Bonnie: Sometimes. Maybe. I never know until it happens. If there is a pattern, I have yet to discern it. If he has a plan, he doesn't share it in advance.

Randy says he likes to surprise me. My expression of surprise in this case is to loudly exclaim, "Ow!".

Wendel: We only use one implement during a spanking so there is no big finale.

Donn: Yes, for punishment thrashings with one of her rubber straps, my wife does have such a technique that she sometimes uses, but it can only be used if I am standing (bent over a chair for support), kneeling beside and bent over the edge of the bed, or I'm mounted on a spanking horse.

At the very end, when much of my butt has become much less sensitive (sometimes actually numb) due to the repeated strokes (from left of right sides), my wife will take up position directly behind me.

From that position, she can swing the strap "back and forth" in front of her, quite fast if she chooses, repeatedly striking the outer right-side of my right butt cheek on her "fore-swing," then the left-side of my left butt-cheek on her "back-swing." Striking areas that have NOT been desensitized from previous repeated strokes applied from either side. (Yes, she does sometimes gets a little too close and strikes the "fore-hip" along with the side of the butt-cheek.)

Yes, it makes a very intense a "grand finale" for a punishment thrashing. It's very hard to maintain control and position when she dials up the speed of strokes and shortens the cycles/intervals. I prefer to be restrained if I know in advance she plans to use this technique.
   

Mija: For a punishment, generally the end is a tawse or hairbrush. But those could be the start too. Other times a hand spanking ending can be pretty sweet. 

Roz: There is no finale, specific implement or signal as such. Sometimes the strokes may be in quicker and more forceful leading up to the end.

Prefectdt: It varies from one spanker to another. But, when possible, I often request to finish with a hard caning on my lower buttocks and upper thighs. The part that is sat upon, usually. Hopefully this will leave some welts that I will feel for some days after the spanking, every time that I sit down. If a caning is not possible, whatever is the most harsh thing available, to finish play. Just to test how much I can take that day, which can vary a lot from one play to another.

JJRose: It varies from one spanker to another. But, when possible, I often request to finish with a hard caning on my lower buttocks and upper thighs. The part that is sat upon, usually. Hopefully this will leave some welts, that I will feel for some days after the spanking, every time that I sit down. If a caning is not possible, whatever is the most harsh thing available, to finish play. Just to test how much I can take that day, which can vary a lot from one play to another.

Barrel: During a session, cane use is standard. She will continue until she has achieved the look, both color and texture, she wants. Invariably, there will be missed spots or an area that lacks the desired color. Regardless of the quantity, the cane is generally the remedy and last toy employed. If lacking in color, her go to is always the hair brush or rubber paddle.

A.J.: I was right, Hermione??? Dayam.

It was many years ago and I was with one of my fav spankers. (To repeat what I have said before - I'm a fun spanker/spankee. All the spankings I have participated in have been oriented toward a sexual, (ahem) "finale.")

But this day, at the close of my session with my fav spanker, I admitted to her that I had never been REALLY spanked - in the sense of a real spanking someone in authority (like ones often mentioned in literature) would dish out.

I told her that. Then asked..."Would you mind...?

Her: "No." (What? No?)
Told me she was a pro and knew I was done.

Me: Just a taste. To know. How about 100? Your hand, hard and fast.

And then I coined one of my favorite terms, "Like, pretend you are my angry girlfriend." (Thus, the origin of the term for the "angry girlfriend" spanking. On the flip side it's the "angry boyfriend."

Ahhh! Being a girl she knew what an "angry girlfriend" was!

Her: "OK. But how about only 50, at first?"

Deal!

I got 50. Took all of 17-seconds. And I was ALIVE and kicking (literally) for all 50 of them!!! Whew!

We talked, and after a while I said, let's go for it. Give me the final 50.

She did. Another 17-seconds and it was over. I was truly spanked. I found out what a real spanking was. I wound up furiously rubbing my tush in front of my spank-pal who was now - GRINNING EAR-TO-EAR! ('Told 'ja!' she didn't need to say.)

From then on, whenever I felt at the conclusion of some otk time, that I needed a bit more, I'd ask (Key word!) for the grande finale. And 50 the standard.

On the flip side when she is otk, she HAS TO ASK ME for her grande finale. if she wants it. No assumptions.

NB: The nice part? Unlike previous sessions, I could still feel the tingling in my tush when I went to bed late that night (By morning it was gone.) But most of all, I remembered my spanking friend! SHE made it a memorable time. I often think of her to this day.
    

Rosco: If Irene is using her (our) round-handled two-tailed strap, generally yes. I’ll have a sense she’s making the effort to take a full swing for 6 or 7 swats.

Most recently, however, she’s been favoring a wooden paddle - ever since I wrapped in in cloth tape (she has trouble gripping with her hands but is generally pretty athletic and strong). Taking a full swing with the paddle would be a bit much for either of who revel in intensity but not severity. So it’s harder to have a grand finale with that paddle.

I tend to think of the grand finale as what comes after - first her then me.

Hermione: To let me know the end has arrived, Ron spritzes my tush with water from a spray bottle he keeps handy.  

Loki_Darksong: One of the things I do at events was what I call an intro session. It is my sampler dish that is a brief taste of the basic spanking food groups. A hand spanking followed by a paddling followed by a strapping and for its finale and caning.

None of it heavy but just enough to perk an interest for future exploration from the person I am spanking. 

S: My spankings are funishment spankings, but as a finale I usually concentrate some heavy spanks to her sit spots and ask her if she is going to be a good girl. Sometimes I might also give her a couple of pinches. I also like to give her a couple of light spanks and say it is all over.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #607

At last week's brunch, our good friend A.J. remarked that no one had specifically responded to the second part of the two-question topic. He was right. Since I am not one to let a good question go to waste, I am reusing that question so that it might stand alone today. 

Does your spanking have a 'grand finale'? Does it include a specific implement? Details, please!

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion once everyone has had an opportunity to respond.

Love spanking? Here's where to go

An adult website Clips4Sale has revealed the most popular fetish in each UK city in a kinky new map. It seems that residents of Sheffield like spanking best. For how they obtained their information (it wasn't by peeping into windows) read the full article here.

I will keep that in mind if I ever get the chance to visit Britain.

Thank you, Boru, for finding this gem.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for August 31

How many toys are usually employed in a session?

Rosco: We have four primary implements these days, all of which I’ve purchased for Irene to use on me as she sees fit. All have round handles which she prefers due to her smallish hands and touch of arthritis. In order of severity:

A leather covered ping pong paddle
A somewhat floppy small paddle of unknown material
A long two tailed leather strap on a wooden handle
A small wooden paddle, like a hairbrush but without any bristles.

The last one hurts like crazy if I’m not warmed up. I try to moan and whine softly but get loud when things really hurt.

In late spring I look for shoots of wild plum trees. They deliver a delicious sting.
 

Wendel: Spankings here are one implement only. There may be a few smacks on the bottom by the hand before a paddling or whipping but that is it. 

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the belt. The sting and pain from each whack feel just right.
The Misses is quite fond of a good old-fashioned hand spanking and does favor the paddle. 

Bonnie: For my routine spankings (lift my skirt and bend me over), Randy usually uses one implement. His favorite at the moment is a teardrop shaped hardwood paddle. My favorite (as if that matters) is a smaller leather paddle. When he wants to make a point, he chooses a solid wooden dogleg hairbrush or even the very ouchy wooden bath brush.

When spankings get more involved, he tends to pull out implements like the punishment cane or one of the bigger paddles in addition to those previously mentioned. Other times he surprises me. But the outcome is generally more or less the same.
 

S: When I spank someone, I like to use a lot of different implements. I usually include a paddle that I made from a 3/4 inch thick industrial rubber. It is about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. It is very heavy and produces a very satisfying smack. It is very fun to use.

Spanky53: Hmmm, for me and my partners we usually go through my whole bag of toys which means anywhere between 18 to 23 depends on what I've prepared. The one item that always gets used is my very supple belt with a turquoise buckle, and the finish is always my hand. The most asked for item is a toy I call the stinger.

Roz: If not with the hand it's usually a maximum of 2 implements, our leather paddle and either wooden spoon or paint stirrer. 

Prefectdt: Between 6 to 10 toys are usually in play, when I am taking some. That sounds like a lot, and it include pervertibles most of the time, not all specific spanking toys. One toy that is always used is a belt. Because I always turn up for a spanking wearing one, usually my nice, stiff, handmade belt that I got from a leatherworker in the Ardennes in 2020. If one is available, I like to be caned hard, with a rattan cane, to finish off the play. This will hopefully leave some welts to sit on that will help me remember the joys of being spanked for days afterwards.

Ronnie: Normally two. Hand, Leatherthorn paddle (my favourite), small holey wooden paddle (his favourite), Headmaster-style cane, long twisted wooden loopy or small straight wooden cane for OTK. Depends on the spanking as to which ones are used.  

A.J.: How many toys are typically used in your spankings?

My hand a toy? Overwhelmingly, that's the only "tool" I use. (Yes; I'm boring.)

Is there one that is most often used during the finale, and if so, why?

Same answer but that could be a new brunch question for you, Hermione:

Do your spankings include a "Grande Finale?" Yes? Tell us about it.

Barrel: If the spanking is a prelude to intimacy, I usually get just the wooden hairbrush. Damn thing has grooves on the business end opposite the bristles and when applied with vigor, leaves blood blisters below the skin. She likes that as they remain for 3 to 4 days. Occasionally, she will substitute a heavy plastic paddle, which is nasty.

During a session, she will employ 4 or 5 toys that include the leather strap I fashioned from an old luggage strap (probably her favorite based on how she swings it), two-tailed tawse (which she is trying to perfect landing on my inner creases), single tail whip (spread around) and always the two delrin canes. The thick cane is "thuddy" and imparts a deep, lasting ouch. The thin cane is evil and leaves marks, which I wear as badges of honor for a week.
  

Anon: Several but not always the same. Usually a small round wooden paddle with a hole in the middle, at least one small leather strap, a couple of lexan paddles also with holes, a full-butt light wooden paddle with lots of beveled holes and most often ending with the cane. Ouch! 

FL: Ideally, hand, hairbrush, belt. In that order.

Dan: In the old days, there was a lot of variability. She might work in as many as five or six implements, including various paddles, straps and brushes. These days, it's usually one or two. The ebony hairbrush often makes an appearance, though it is almost never the main event. Her go-to instrument, which almost always is the star of the show, is the bath brush.   

Hermione: We always have four in use, and Ron chooses three. The leather dogging bat (my favourite) is a must. Then either a black leather hand-shaped slapper or a longer black leather strap. Next a wooden shoehorn or a leather 'flyswatter' with metal studs. My choice is either the Leatherthorn paddle or a ping pong paddle which sadly broke this weekend.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #606

Hello and welcome! Our good friend Barrel sent me a topic that I suspect you will all enjoy discussing.

How many toys are typically used in your spankings?  If more than one, is there one toy that is always used?  Is there one that is most often used during the finale, and if so, why? 

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion at the end of the weekend.
