Spanko Brunch 2.0 #344

Our gardening season isn't going as well as I had hoped. We have been hit by cucumber blight, which has caused the leaves of our cucumber vines to wilt and turn brown. There are many tiny fruits that will never grow because of the disease, and there's nothing to do but remove the vines. We have salvaged a few cukes that matured before the disease hit, and they are delicious! I even made a batch of pickles. But alas, we have no surplus to give away. The disease has also spread to the melons, winter squash and zucchini, so those harvests have also been curtailed. There are no surplus zucchinis to leave on neighbours' doorsteps in the middle of the night. I made my last loaves of zucchini bread yesterday; the harvest is over. It's very disappointing.

That leads me to today's topic:

Have you ever been disappointed with a spanking? Were you disappointed because it didn't happen, or did it not go as planned? Was there something you could have done to salvage the situation? 

Please leave your response as a comment. I will publish an edited summary of our conversation once everyone has had a chance to contribute.

Sorry to hear about your harvest. Maybe a trip to a farmers' market could provide partial compensation?

Disappointment? Yes, sure, it happens for all sorts of reasons. Too hard. Too gentle. Preoccupied. Not in the mood. Didn't happen. Shouldn't have happened. Delayed. Not the implement I was hoping for. Already been spanked and don't need another one. Would rather snuggle. Uncomfortable position. Headache. Sore back. Sore bottom. Busy now. Too hot. Too cold. Too stingy, I wanted thud. Too thuddy, I wanted sting. Wrong room. Too long. Too short. Too high. Too low. Too far out on my hip. Feeling sick. Feeling tired. Wanted scolding. Scolding was distracting. Rationale is bogus. Didn't get a rationale. Just don't want to get spanked right now. Why can't we do this later?

I'm mighty picky, and I might complain, but most of the time, I just take my spanking. I know that once the spanking is over, I generally don't feel disappointed any more.

Sorry about the garden -- hopefully other veggies are doing better. For whatever reason, this has been one of the best years ever for ours.

I don't recall being particularly disappointed with a spanking. None ever went too far, several could have been longer/harder but it's tough to complain! :-)

If I have one disappointment, it's that they aren't more frequent. I could probably enjoy being spanked several times a week. That only happens in "Training Weeks", which are pretty rare!!

Best regards, Graham

It sounds like you might need to take a break on the squashes and the berries for a year or two, to give the problem a chance to clear up. There are plenty of tasty root crops that you can replace them with, for a while. Or even rhubarb, if you are looking for something sweet.

I have played with a lot of first timers and it is frequently the case that they where not born with a perfect knowledge of how to spank. But I would not criticize this as most people get most things wrong the first time, in all endeavours not just spanking. Patience is needed with novices.

I think that the spankings that most disappoint me are the ones where I get disappointed with my own performance. I really admire the spankees, that I see on the screen, that can take a hard spanking very stoically, with barely a flinch and would like to be like that myself. But sometimes I have bad days and react to a spanking with a lot of squirming and dancing. After spankings where I have reacted like this, I tend to beat myself up on a mental level for several days afterwards.

Sorry to hear about your harvest Hermione, that is such a shame. The bread looks awesome though:)

Great question. Yes, I have been disappointed for various reasons. Spanking I was convinced would be forthcoming didn't eventuate, not long/hard enough to get me to where I wanted to be are the primary reasons. I have also been disappointed with myself for how I handled a spanking on occasion.

Hugs

Where to start on this? I have had some spankings that were too harsh, partially my own fault for not discussing limits. I have had bad spankings from unskilled spankers. But my main complaint would be spankings that did not last long enough or were not intense enough. It's all a bit subjective and the fix is to have play partners who understand and are familiar with me. That's fine if you like playing with the same people, and I do. But it does not hep the spanko who likes to shop around!

As I've said in the past my spankings are strictly punishment. Same every time strapping naked in basement. So the only disappointment is when I'm informed that the wife has decided that a witness is going to be necessary for a particularly severe blistering.

Gardens vary every year. Last year, we had lots of zucchini and no cukes. This year, exactly the opposite. So I’m hopeful for your garden next year.

Yes, I have been disappointed, most frequently that a planned session ended too soon and fell short of the quantity or intensity I expected. I am also disappointed when the thin cane wraps around, terminating on the side of my hips. But in thinking about this great question, I tend to think it is all about managing my expectations, which when I am being spanked, really shouldn’t matter.

Spankings when we are sick are not the best. Most times we just hold off until we're better.

Hermione, sorry to hear about this year's harvest. Bad year for our strawberries and tomatoes.

Yes, disappointed. different reasons. A few - not long enough, not in the right space, delayed spanking, weather too warm.

Love,
Ronnie

At times the wife seems to want a spanking, even begs for it, then calls it off very early in the game. But any spanking, even a brief one, is fun.

First, let me say that spanking followed by cunnilingus followed by intercourse is the norm in our bedroom, and it is usually wonderful and often feels like the best ever.

But while I often crave a spanking, I don't like to ask for it. I like it to "against my will", to be punished as a naughty boy for disobedience etc. (peeking up a girls' skirt is a typical imaginary offense). Usually I signal what I might want in certain ways, like being a little extra obnoxious. And usually it works.

But once in a while, I will really want an extended spanking but Irene will instruct me to turn over so she can climb aboard for oral sex. When she is ready, she is ready and I am so grateful she is such a wonderful partner is go along. It is only a little disappointing.

We also often do a bit of bondage these last few years. It took Irene a very long time to figure how to tie me down, even with leather cuffs & straps etc. Kind of funny, but also hard to keep the mood when she was fumbling around. It does not happen anymore. She is pretty good now.

Of course, we have also been interrupted, implements have broken and she has mistakenly whacked my balls hard or gotten the far hipbone with a whip.

It's been 40 years of at least once a week - so that's over 2000 spankings. 99% have been wonderful.

Sorry about the bad harvest. We only had a couple of patio tomato plants this year. We might have gotten a total of half a dozen cherry tomatoes. Alas, the season is over here in the great Southwest (US). Fortunately the herbs are doing fine.

Isn't disappointment part of our mutual experience, whether it's spanking, or something else. All we can do is say we're going on with life.

Go and be happily spanked!

My wife insures the spankings address the situation. Never disappointed, how can I be when I initiated the spanking. If I had to come up with a situation was the first time I was spanked by my mother-in-law, pleaded and beg for it not to happen, but she and my wife just smiled, told me to drop my pants, leave my underpants on, I did. But no sooner over my mother-in-law lap the underpants were pulled down and her hairbrush was warming and stinging my bottom. I danced around afterwards, not caring all was on display, I had kicked off my underpants. My wife told me her mother knew nothing of the spankings until that day, I looked at her, and she said sternly over my lap, she would not take that look.
