Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for October 12

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers. Do the seasons affect your spanking activities, and if so, how?

Bonnie: As winter approaches, we use our spanking bench less frequently. It's located in the basement and it's cold down there.

Wendel: Outdoor spanking is always affected by the weather. Getting paddled in the pouring rain is fun and the sting of the paddle on a wet bottom is incredible. As for the cold, the whack of a paddle or belt hurts like hell and the marks come quickly and last a lot longer.
When we spank inside the temperature outside does not really matter thanks to air conditioning and heaters. 

Roz: I always get more paranoid about being heard during the summer with neighbours being outside more and having doors and windows open.

Rosco: Well, we turned the furnace on before our “date” yesterday.

It’s been awhile since our last endeavor outside. Occasionally we would find a switch walking in the woods, but we were always pretty careful to make sure no one was around. We did once have a memorable time on a raft at the bottom of the Grand Canyon after letting the rest of our group float well downstream.

Prefectdt: Often, when playing with a fellow amateur enthusiast, neither of us can play at our own residencies. Which means that we have to find a noise friendly place to rent. This is hard to do, outside of the tourist season. So winter usually means pay to play encounters only.

Barrel: Yes, as it gets cooler, sessions in the unheated garage, while immobilized on the suspension rack require slight adjustments. I am cold while being secured but warm up quickly as the thrashing begins. My wife may not dress for the occasion and remain fully dressed to stay warm. We do have restraint capabilities in-doors, so we find ways to have our sessions.

Anon: In general, I prefer summer over other seasons. I like wearing few clothes, if any, around the house. After we first got married, my husband decided that I shouldn't wear a thong bikini in public any longer. My bottom was not to be tanned by the sun, only by him. I preferred to be spanked in the summer, too. But a couple years ago we took several drives to see the fall colors change in the trees. We went north to Michigan at its peak transition; white birches with canopies vivid reds, oranges, and yellows. I coaxed hubby to get out of the car and spank my bared bum over the bumper; white buttocks turning vivid red. Of course, we had to make love right there afterward. So turned on, so afraid of being discovered! Needless to say, now autumn is my favorite time of year. We have another car trip north planned soon.  

FL: I've always regarded spanking as an "indoor sport" and with central heat and air, the seasons matter little.

Hermione: I'm with FL on this one. We do not spank outdoors, so the weather has little to do with when or how we do it. The furnace is on now, and it's toasty warm.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #612

It's the weekend once more, and that means you are all invited to attend our spanko brunch. The weather has become decidedly chilly and the ground was crisp with frost this morning. Autumn is here, and that means winter is just around the corner.

How do the seasons affect your spanking routine? Do you feel more or less like spanking at different times of the year? Does the temperature or the weather cause you to vary frequency, location, or anything else?

Leave your observations as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion once everyone has had a chance to speak.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for October 5

How much force does the spanker use?

Bonnie: When Randy spanks me, he's all over the map in terms of force exerted. He'll lull me into complacency with a rhythmic tap tap tap, and then light me up with fierce syncopated paddle smacks randomly distributed across my bottom. The worst, though, is when he strikes hard and fast. I can't tolerate that level of immediate punishment pain that for long. Fortunately for me, he usually changes tactics after a while.

wolfman7446: I use a moderate force over a longer period of time. This ensures the lesson is being learned without running the risk of damaging her. If I did anything close to the force I am capable of, I can guarantee that injury would result. Since I love her, this would be the last thing I desire.

Marie: It can really vary. It shouldn't take much force, but I like being spanked hard (and firmly) so that requires a certain amount of effort be put into it. I don't really enjoy being spanked lightly so I don't seek that out - I find it irritating. My husband typically spanks me pretty hard but there's variation even within that and I will tease him a bit if it feels like he's slowing down - usually that's when we move to implements.

Jack: My wife/mommy applies the bath brush soundly, it lands hard and switches from cheek to cheek. Once I start to squirm and kick my legs she stops, secure my legs and the bath brush lands hard and fast. 

Anon: Full force? I can't imagine anyone ever using "full" force. Hard, yes. Very hard, also yes. Probably 80% or so of "full" force. But, then again, my wife is very athletic. Maybe small, weaker women would use closer to full force. Full force would be hard to control and maintain accuracy.

Roz: The intensity varies during the spanking, but I know Rick always has more in reserve 😊 

Rosco: I asked this question because Irene’s preferred implement recently changed, from a long leather strap to a small wooden paddle. A short pop with the paddle stings as much as a full swing with the strap, albeit the sensations are a different.

I thought she would miss taking that full swing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

A.J.: Giving or receiving - Never "full force."

We only do fantasy and fun "play," so that would be out of bounds.

Prefectdt: That can vary a lot depending on 2 factors. 1/ Who is the spanker? 2/ What kind of mood am I in?

KDPierre: Rosa's default is upper moderate. Nothing is ever lighter than seriously solid and crisp. No wimpy whacks here! LOL Depending on the circumstances the force can go up from there, all the way to what feels like full force. However, I would say her force level is not as widely variable as quantity. So usually it's always good solid forceful swats and the situation then determines how many of those I'm going to get. But this is an averaged out kind of answer. Reality plays out with exceptions on different occasions.           

Hermione: Ron uses a moderate amount of force, which is what I require. For two of the ouchiest implements, I know he's not using any more than mild exertion, but it still feels like a lot more.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #611

It's great to see you all again this week. Last week I promised you more topics submitted by my readers, and our good friend Rosco's suggestion is up next.

How much energy does the spanker in your sessions exert? Does the spanker like to take a full swing or use full force when they’re administering a spanking? Or do they prefer not to work hard so long as the spankee gets what they need and deserve?

Please leave your reply as a comment, and once everyone has spoken I will publish a summary of our discussion.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 28

We discussed intense spanking sessions this week, and here's what you had to say.

Rosco: Irene is not much a planner, except to the extent that we’ll decide to have a “date” on a certain day- usually late afternoon. Whether she decides to go especially hard or long is mostly a whim. Usually a date includes 2-3 spankings, 30 minutes or so apart before more traditional intimacy ensues.

Usually I’ll go with the flow. If I want more, I’ll whine and beg her to stop (that’s code for more that we developed long ago; “enough” is our safe word,that’s never been used and “later” is our code word for later).

On a few occasions, I’ve written a letter - ostensibly from another woman or girl whom I’ve offended. Usually I was trying to peek up her skirt or maybe peeping into the female locker room. She’s written Irene who is some sort of authority figure, sometimes a teacher or librarian but usually undefined. The letter will suggest rather intense punishment and Irene will take the hint and give me what I want/need/deserve.
 

Anon: Wow, Rosco, that last paragraph gives me all sorts of ideas...thanks!

Roz: Spankings for us now are purely for fun so are usually in the moment and not pre-planned. 

Prefectdt: I do not have a solo spanking partner, and so am not sure if this question is relevant to myself. I do, very often, arrange with a spanking partner a code for, "You can bring it on harder", during play. This usually takes the form of me thanking the spanker for being so lenient and considerate in dealing with me. This can often lead to a more intense session. So the answer to your question would be, yes, but only when I am feeling like it and the frequency of these sessions tends to be random.

Bonnie: We plan for spankings on Friday evenings. These are more involved, more choreographed, and generally more severe than what we do at other times of the week.

Randy likes to come up with something unique for holidays and special occasions. Today, as it happens, is one of those days. My confidential sources suggest he is going to paddle me.

Happy birthday, Bonnie! I hope Randy came through in grand style!

Wendel: All of our spanking activity is meant for fun and pleasure. We do not get too rough. Not much planning is needed for a spanking. When it is time, it is time.

Our house in Ireland has a large shed in the back yard that we refer to as “The Woodshed”. It is mostly for storage, but we do have a bench in the middle just right for bending over. If one is sent to the woodshed, a rather severe whipping with the strap will be given. I guess it is a bit harder than most spankings.
 

Graham: Fun spankings are just that and continue without much plot until we are ready to move on to other things. Disciplinary spankings are more involved, and she may have a definite plan. They almost always involve some intense most-orgasm caning, which clearly separates the fun from the serious!

KDPierre: Since we do both punishment and fun spankings, in the spirit of what I believe is the gist of this week's question, I would like to make a distinction between intense and elaborate. Some punishments can be very intense, but not necessarily elaborate and requiring lots of planning or time, but some fun ones can be.

Probably our most elaborate fun spanking sessions are our "pool tournaments". We have a pool table and every few months Rosa and I will play a best 2 out of 3 tournament of 8-ball. There are elaborate rules which I've written into a little poster that we put out so we can refer to it, all involving spanking penalties.

To make it fun, the rules are absurdly slanted in her favor, so in practical terms, no matter how well I play, by evening's end I am likely to have received literally hundreds of swats spread out over the course of the tournament, leaving my butt red and swollen and residually sore for days. 

Hermione: Our planned spanking is Saturday afternoon, but I can't say it's severe or intense. It's only for fun, and is a prelude to wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?
