Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for February 4

Have you ever used a timer for your spankings?

Sage: I've never had timed spankings. Mine are between half and hour and an hour. But most of it is vanilla activities. But all erotic pleasure activities, including the spanking. So far, at the end he says "Had enough?" and I say "No, I'm, insatiable. Just stop when you are tired." Looking forward to hearing from people who do time them. 

BTW, I learned from your blog about riding crops. That one is a keeper. I return some of the implements back to Amazon because I can't feel anything from them, but not this one. Thank you.

Rosco: Seems a little contrived and there’s no way Irene would want to do it. Sometimes I’ll count strokes to myself, but that’s never been part of our thing.

Most of our sessions (at least those that precede sex) are three spanking separated by about 30 minutes. Sometimes they’re fairly short, sometimes they go on and on. Our “code” (if I want more) is to complain. But pretty much Irene decides how long and hard to whip and paddle me based on her feeling at the time.

Wendel: We tried timed spankings. First was 5 minutes and the second was 10 minutes. Once the buzzer went off the spanking was over. The problem was that to get the most out of it the spanker had to spank nonstop. The arm would get tired from swinging a paddle or belt and that took away from the overall enjoyment. The spankee of course would enjoy the nonstop beating and extremely sore bottom but then it abruptly ended. We have not timed a spanking since. It is more thrilling not knowing when the end is coming.

Chronic: Not my sort of thing. For me, they are spontaneous for the most part. The length, duration, intensity, plus a myriad of other factors are decided at the time, so nothing is really structured. 

Roz: We have never tried timed spankings. The intensity, implements and length of spanking is entirely dictated in the moment by Rick. I think the fact I don't know adds to the experience for me. 

Norse: In the past, I've delivered timed punishment spankings to a spankee of my acquaintance. First a (non-timed) warm-up with my hand, then one minute hard, fast spanking with my clothes brush. Usually, she's allowed to watch the timer while it's ticking away - but if she's been REALLY bad, she doesn't get that. She thinks it's much worse when she's over my knee, squirming and yelping while the brush slams down, if she doesn't know how much time is left. It's led to some remarkable improvements in her behaviour.

For non-punishment spankings, it's better without a timer.

Jack: The only timed part of my spanking is how much time I spend facing the wall. My spankings are never the same, wife/mommy spankings last as long as she decides and for what the spanking is for.

KDPierre: The only time I used a timed spanking was as a part of a bet back many years ago, and for that purpose it worked. For us now it would not work since the main issue I have with spanking is if it is too fast. (My heart races and it can get a little scary.) If this happens, I just let Rosa know and she lets me catch my breath. Neither of us see this as an impediment to the purpose of the spanking though, since it doesn't mean stopping it nor going easier, just possibly slower and with an occasional pause for breathing. [Breathing is good.] LOL)

I truly believe a timed spanking now would just be stressful and serve no useful purpose. (What possible benefit does the limitation of time serve? Isn't the mood, level of guilt release, and even condition of the butt being spanked all more useful metrics?) We much prefer a certain number, which as I have said before is still open to amendment upwards if either of us feel it necessary to achieve that spanking's goal. So no timing here. ;-)

Bonnie: Yes, we do timed spankings. However much I think in advance that it's going to hurt, the reality is always worse. My dear paddle-wielding husband takes this exercise as a challenge. He pulls me over his lap and strikes my bare bottom as fast and forcefully as he can using a serious wooden spanking implement. Unimpressed by my screeches of protest and pain, he continues full speed and full power until the final buzzer. In this scenario, just two minutes can feel like two hours.

It's fun afterward to show my vivid marks to the camera and feeling that dull ouch whenever I sit the next day. But while it's happening, the shocking rush of intense punishment can be overwhelming. It's always more than I think I want.

Note to self: Remember how this feels before you agree next time.

Barrel: We have done it once, on my 60th birthday. 6 minutes with her hand, 6 minutes with the hairbrush and 6 minutes with the plastic paddle. Then I got 6 sets of 6 with the cane. A memorable birthday. As I creep to 70, we will need to think if there is a repeat or a different twist with 7’s.

Sage: Norse Cavalier, that makes me realize that there are all kinds of possibilities with spankos. Even if one doesn't have a partner, I guess they can meet someone at their local spanking club to get together in a limited way for agreed upon purposes like punishment spankings to improve certain behaviors--even if the person is the wrong age range or otherwise incompatible for a romantic relationship. The world of spankos is varied and interesting. 

Loki_Darksong: I find that timed spankings are very useful depending on the type of spanking scenes they are set up for whether that is for fun or punishment or even seeing how far you can go with a particular implement or implements.

Hermione: I once bought an egg timer that I thought would add interest for a timed spanking. Unfortunately, five minutes wasn't nearly long enough, so the timer is now just an ornament.  But it was fun to watch the sand trickle down, and it added to the enjoyment at the time.
