Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for April 3

Describe your dream spanking room.

Jean Marie:  GREAT topic! I love to home-decorate, and doing it for this purpose would be the ultimate! I thought that most things about the "Fifty Shades" series were dreadful, but that red room of pain was nicely equipped!
In my specially designed spanking room, I'd want a multi-level spanking bench, where I could choose how high my bottom would be elevated. This would differ from the block, where my bottom would be elevated and exposed to an obscene degree and where I would be restrained with padded cuffs for wrists, ankles, and my waist. Then I'd want a wooden cross where I could stand to have my entire backside exposed to whipping.
I'd love to have a vast array of implements on display on hooks on the walls. Maybe this could be organized by type of implement, wooden paddles and canes on one wall, leather straps and tawses and paddles on another, crops, braided whips and floggers on a different wall. Then, on the 4th wall, what if we had a window? When my lovers wanted to humiliate me most, they'd open the curtains to let passers-by see what my naked body was being subjected to within.
I actually had a boyfriend who had a special room similar to this, but it was decorated his way; it'd be a dream come true to have one that I outfitted to my taste!

Roz: Great question Hermione! I'm not quite sure, the idea of a play room would daunt me I think as we have never used 'equipment' as such and the variety of implements probably limited.

Well, it would have to be a red room wouldn't it? LoL. Actually, for some reason I am thinking purple. I like the idea of a multi-level bench and cross and the walls adorned with an array of implements.

Jack: I asked my wife, she said we have such a room already, the bedroom. The best place in the house for giving a spanking. What she needs is already there, it is private, if I'm heard then that is just part of the spanking. 

Rosco: Most of our toys are locked in a box, just in case we have curious visitors. It would be easier to have everything out and available.

Further, I love to be tied up but comfortably so. I’d like a spanking bench that leaves me helpless and vulnerable with a massage table type cradle to rest my head and neck so I could be there a long time.

A triple full length mirror would be fun.

And I’ve often thought about designing a pussy licking bench. Irene is always on top. She would be able to easily shift to support her weight on her feet, knees, hands and of course my face. And it would be on rockers.

We used to have access to a tack room at private stables, with an array of vintage riding crops on the wall. Had a lot of fun in that room plus a little nervous adventure that someone would happen by - almost caught once.

Wendel: The walls would be a light grey with recessed color changing lights. Hooks on the wall for the paddle and strap. The only furniture would be a spanking bench and a kitchen chair. We would have 2 small mirrors position in line with the chair and bench so that the spankee can see themselves as they receive the spanking. 

Bonnie: My perfect spanking room…

Let’s start with a big space, say 15 feet square with an eight-foot ceiling to allow the spanker plenty of swinging room. Let’s have a spanking bench bolted to the floor near the center. It should be well padded and equipped with padded, adjustable restraint cuffs. There should also be a couch and a straight wooden chair for OTK, post-spanking interviews, and other adult adventures. Let’s pad the walls with a sound muffling material and install acoustic baffles overhead because corporal punishment can get noisy.

Space on the four walls should be dedicated to hanging leather implements (belts, crops, straps), wooden implements (paddles, brushes, canes), sex toys (vibrators, dildos, plugs, lubricant, lotions), and restraints (cuffs, cords, blindfolds, spreaders, scarves). The floor should be carpeted with thick padding underneath in case someone ends up down there. We will also want a first aid kit just in case. One corner should be left plain for the conspicuous display of the spanker’s handiwork.

There should be a digital audio theater sound system, a combination of fixed and movable digital cameras with microphones, a video display, a streaming media library system, configurable studio lights, and a remote control to manage it all. Proper HVAC will also be essential to maintain optimal temperature and humidity. Aromatherapy might be a nice addition.

It would be helpful add a closet for storing removed clothing, costumes, cushions, blankets, towels, cleaning supplies, and extra implements. While I’m wishing, I’d like a small refrigerator for drinks and yummy treats. And a little bathroom with a mirror, toilet, and sink.

Finally, I would connect the spanking room entrance to the rest of the house with a secret passage, locked and hidden behind a bookcase or wall panel.

Barrel: Well, I’m not sure how to add on to Bonnie’s post, but I’d make the room warm and soft cream colors…soothing since the recipient will be at the other end of the spectrum. As for music, I’d play the theme that I first heard on DWC (wish I could find that somewhere). A hook in the ceiling with a hoist would allow for stand up whippings.

I have designed and am building a spanking bench that can be easily dismantled and hidden under a bed or in a closet. It will also travel in the trunk when we migrate. It will add variety when restraint is necessary.

I would organize the implements by material: leather; wood; delrin; plastic; rubber; bamboo. I would add a cabinet for thin sharp spikey things and sounding devices. The first aid cabinet should include post session topicals that will increase and prolong the discomfort. Also some heated lube that when used, warms from the inside.

If only…

A.J.: I wouldn't have one.

The most simple and common room is, to me, the best. An everyday room/home office with a simple strait-backed chair you would find in almost every home in the hemisphere. A room with spanking horses, whips and paddles on the wall, padded cuffs, restraints, cross-bars, etc.; what you are describing is a dungeon.

And problems come with all of that.

A fire in the house and firemen see that room?
Time to sell? - explain that room?
How do you get rid of all the "tools" in there?
Cleaning lady wants to know if she should clean that room...No? Oh. Why...?
Friends visit:
How do you explain the locks on that ONE room?
Forget to lock it? Adult kids/grandkids see it? Oh, what fun...

And the mental anguish on your part, "Did I lock that door...?"

It's just not worth it.

Prefectdt: It would be based on an Edwardian era, Head Teacher's study. With a leather topped desk, normal traditional furnishings and a large fireplace, with a mantle and a mirror. There is a large, head height, dark wood cupboard, large enough to house all the toys and restraints. A door to a storage room, is noticeable. That room would not be huge, but large enough to house some special, fold away, specialist spanking benches and furniture, for when the need arose.

Loki_Darksong: Having a space devoted to spanking / BDSM scenes is part of the motivation for my wife and I to actually own our own house hopefully in the near future.

What I like is to have a basement area that is waterproof and properly climate controlled so there will be a comfortable temperature for all stages of undress.

Half of course have proper lighting because you got to see what you're doing. But not have overwhelming lighting.

Furniture of course would depend on the size of this space. Although two or three pieces of furniture would be a personal need. A spanking bench or horse, a Saint Andrews cross and a whipping post, although this last piece is optional depending on once again the size of the space so loud safe and proper swing room for all types of implements.

A small sofa will complete the set because you need to have some place to relax afterwards. Perhaps a futon in case a bed is required as well.

I also want to have a den but that may be actually wishful thinking.

Hermione: I love all your ideas. For a real fantasy room, I'd have an old-fashioned schoolroom with pupils' desks and a teacher's desk on a raised platform. A ruler would be on the desk, and canes and paddles hang on the wall nearby.
