I once worked with a woman who called dachshunds "Datsuns" and another woman who talked about a "human cry" (hue and cry).

I would unfriend that person too!

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for November 30

Tell us about your most memorable spanking.

Jack: It would be a bad experience, we were visiting my mother-in-law, not long after we were married. My wife/mommy had spank me prior to and after our marriage, her mother was the one who encouraged it, Well it was a couple of days into the visit and the one night it was not good. My mother-in-law was getting on my nerves, I said somethings and left it at that. My wife/mommy said nothing as we went to bed. The next morning I awoke late, the norm, and stepping out of the shower my wife was standing there. She smiled and started stroking my erection, saying nothing until I came. She cleaned me off, help me finish drying off and told me to get to the bedroom. The look in her eye was not good. I walked into the bedroom to see my mother-in-law sitting on a chair, a hairbrush in her hand. I tried to cover myself, she said hands at side and stand before her. I stood, saying nothing, she reminded me there was no in-law in this family and so being a naughty little boy, Mother needs to give her little boy a spanking. Over her lap, that hairbrush landed hard, fast and covered every inch of my bottom. She finally secured my legs and pinned my arm to my back and could care less of my pleads, she said Mother will decide. When I got off her lap, not allowed to rub and taken to the kitchen where my wife/mommy was drinking coffee and told to face the wall. Nice work Mother my wife said and then asked if I was going to be a good little boy, Yes Mommy I replied. When I finally allowed to leave the wall, I got dressed, and was informed I was going to bed early and getting a spanking. I said nothing and I did go to bed early and my Mommy applied the hairbrush soundly.

Rosco: I’ve received so many wonderful spankings, but delivered only a handful.

The most memorable was the first, late one night on the beach - the summer when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. There were a handful of us, but Martha and I had wandered away from the others. I hadn’t even made out.

Martha and I were horsing around - play wrestling. She was wearing a flimsy onesie with loose shorts. She kicked me. I retaliated by rolling her on her back, bending her legs and spanking her several times. I would have gone on longer, but I thought she might realize how into it I was and embarrass me, or maybe the others who were not so far away might hear.

I let her up. She kicked me again. I turned her on her back and spanked her again - a little harder. The shorts of her onesie were riding up nicely. Wow, what a thrill.

She kicked again and I delivered a third, slightly longer and yet harder, spanking.

Then we started making out. She assertively guided my hand to third base.

That was the only sustained and successful spanking I ever delivered. I saw her best friend years later in the news, but have no idea what happened to Martha.

When I confessed my obsession to Irene, she said she’d be fine to give it a shot, but she’d be doing all the spanking - and indeed she has.

Roz: My most memorable spanking would be years ago when we were practising DD. Rick was away that weekend and I visited my parents who lived roughly 45 minutes away. The drive involved having to drive over a notorious small mountain pass. Rick was always worried about me doing that drive. I was also required to keep in regular contact with him when he was away. Well, I ended up staying for dinner and left late and the weather wasn't the best. For some reason I didn't contact Rick when I got home to let him know I was home. He was so worried. As it happened, there was a serious accident on that road that night.

The spanking was memorable more because of the emotions behind it and how bad I felt about making him worry that much. He lectured and told me how he had felt that night and just how worried he had been. I think it was the first time he used the belt also. There were a few implements used. 

Prefectdt: It was not the best spanking that I ever got, but it is one that sticks in my mind more than any other. It was my first pay to play. It took place back in the 1990s, before I and most people were on the internet, so it was difficult to get up-to-date information on how things worked. I was in a bad way at the time with multiple problems, especially the inability to get a decent batch of sleep and other anxieties. And I was taking a list of medications, including a very mind-altering one whose name ended in “pam”. I had been seeing a psychologist for some time and inevitably, the subject of consensual adult spanking came up, after many sessions. At this point I had given up getting spanked for about four years and told the psychologist this, and expected a tick and a smiley face for having given up that sort of nonsense. 

Wrong, she could not give me a direct instruction, supposedly due to professional practices, it must be presumed. But she dropped hints that made a sledgehammer look lightweight, and I left with the knowledge that I should get spanked. But how? I had cut all connections with the amateur spanking world. I no longer had any contacts, or was known to any groups, I was alone. So I went to Antwerp's Red-Light district, which I had walked through before, and noticed that some of the occupants of the windows displayed BDSM equipment. On my first visit, I chickened out. A second visit was made a little over a week later and, with nervousness, approached a window. I discovered two things, how expensive a pay to play is and that sex did not have to be involved (phew). Over the next few months I got several more painful sessions, with several professional administrators. After four months, I had stopped all happy pills and was sleeping like a happy kitten. It was this that made me except that being a Spanko is who I am, not something that I chose to be.

FL: She had an after-work affair to attend and didn't come home until almost midnight. She came into the bedroom, woke me up, and said, "Fetch the hairbrush and meet me downstairs." Thinking she was playing, I mumbled a protest about the hour and waiting until the next day. 

"Fetch the hairbrush. Now." was all she said. And all she needed to say.

I met her in that family room, brush in hand. I handed it to her and she pulled down my pyjama bottoms, put me over her knee, and gave me a long, hard spanking. If I had been sleepy before, I was wide awake now.

It ended, after what seemed forever, and she told me to stand up. I did, rubbing my flaming bottom, and said, "You're mean." We never really role played, so she surprised me when she said, "I'll show you mean." then reached up, grabbed my ear, pulled be back over knee and gave me an even longer and harder spanking than the first.

I went to bed very sore, somewhat teary, and extremely happy.

Bonnie: I've published my most memorable spankings, but I can share a more recent session.

Did you know that a spelling bee can sting? I do now. Randy thought it would be beneficial and fun (?) to test my spelling skills. He said I depend too much on spellcheck and autocorrect and AI. I said that may be true, but so what, as long as I get it right?

He decided I needed to be able to spell without technology. And he didn't like my attitude.

He wanted to check my independent spelling capabilities. I was tested while lying face down over his lap on the couch. He held a list of spelling words in his left hand and a sturdy wooden paddle in his right. He raised the back of my skirt to my waist exposing bare posterior.

He began reading the words. As he did so, he rubbed the smooth wooden surface of the implement against my skin. No need to be nervous, he suggested helpfully. After all, it's just spelling.

Just spanking was more like it. I don't know where he got those words. Nor did I know how to spell them. Each feeble guess resulted in a set of hard swats. The more he punished me, the more difficult it became to concentrate on the assigned task.

I flunked. That spelling bee stung me right where I sit.

Wendel: The spanking that always comes to mind was late at night in Ireland. We were at the top of large hill. I sat down on a big rock out in a clearing. The rock over looked the valley so anyone looking could see. The Misses took down her pants and got across my knees. I gave her a good spanking. After the spanking I took her from behind. It was wonderful and I was more than happy to take the whipping she gave me when we got home. 

Hermione: I'll always remember the first spanking Ron gave me. The topic of spanking had not gone over well with my ex, so I was reluctant to confess my preference to Ron. One night when we were making love, he started to spank me, and didn't stop until I had reached orgasm. Wow! It had been completely his idea, not mind, so I knew I had found my soulmate at last.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for November 23

How do you feel about going to a professional to learn proper caning technique?

Bonnie: We've always explored new spanking techniques and new implements together. I trust Randy to proceed slowly until we are both comfortable, or stop if necessary. I know he won't inflict any severe physical or emotional damage.

Dan: I would. I have a fascination with caning, but for some reason, it's just never worked well with Anne wielding the cane. We've tried several times, including after she's read various "how to" resources. It just doesn't hurt very much, and it's clearly never going to be an instrument she has any enthusiasm for. But, I do have enough curiosity about how a truly effective caning would feel, I would be very open to experiencing it with a pro. And, that's really the only context I can think of in which I would have any interest in going to a pro. In other scenarios, it has no appeal.

Wendel: We would not seek out a Pro. Spankings are for us by us. If the Misses wants to experience it I would give it a go but it is not an implement we have much interest in.

Graham: I think that with practice and patience, anyone who can use a paddle or strap can also learn to use the cane. The question of wanting to is different. As a switch that mostly bottoms, I often visited pros in my younger life and all of them were very skilled.

Rosco: If Irene wanted to escort me, I probably would. It’s intriguing, but I’d worry about injury at least a little.

But I’d rather be tested with prolonged and repeated spankings.

Mija: Under those circumstances I'd take *us* to a pro. I've known a number of people who've gone to pros with their partner to be taught/learn safe ways to use specific implements or rope or whatever. If there was something my partner wanted to experience and, after trying and getting instruction I wasn't able, a pro would be a great option. Especially if I got to watch. 

Barrel: Yes, I would if she asked for that support. Why not? If it is something between us that we both want, it makes sense. But we seem to do rather well anyway.

FL: Spanking for me is 100% sexual and part of a trusting, loving relationship. I would not want to involve a third party, any more than I would want one involved for any other sexual act one of us might not wish to participate in. Respecting each others' hard limits is crucial, in any aspect of the relationship. 

Prefectdt: Finding someone more competent than myself, for spanko style caning (as opposed to more mainstream BDSM cane use), would mean travelling. Probably to the UK, but at least as far as the Netherlands. But I would be up for a weekend away for that. Also, I would be interested if a play partner wanted to see me caned. Having a consenting audience is a bit of a fantasy of mine. In both cases, though, the idea of doing this would have to be suggested by the other party involved. I would not propose doing either, for fear of feeling that I am pressuring someone into doing something that they might not really want to do.

Roz: I don't think we would seek a professional. Spanking is between and for us. 

Hermione: In theory, it would be very interesting to have instruction from a pro. In reality, neither of us would be comfortable in such a situation. Caning doesn't hold much of an attraction for us.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #618

Our brunch on caning has generated some interesting spin-offs. Today's topic was suggested by our good friend A.J.

If your partner wants to feel the cane, and you don't want to do it and, quoting Ronnie: "No-one should receive a hard caning from someone who doesn't know what they're doing," would you take him/her to a pro who does? On the reverse: if you were offered that, would you accept that offer and go?

Please leave your response as a comment, and once everyone has had a chance to speak, I will publish a summary of your responses.

Naughty Boy

Last week I posted a spanking song I had discovered accidentally. Well, it seems there are plenty more out there.

Our good friend Rosco reported that Christina Aguilera asks for a spanking in her “Nasty Naughty Boy”, among other things. The sound quality is inferior in this live version, but the video is fun.

 

Oh my! And there are more songs to come, so stay tuned.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for November 16

Do you have any tips for spanking sensitive areas?

Rosco: I never would have predicted it, but Irene spanks my balls and I like it. Obviously a little discretion on the implement and intensity is necessary. Once in a while she’s a little too enthusiastic but there've been no lasting physical or emotional scars. 

Roz: What comes to mind when it comes to sensitive areas is be careful and deliberate with your aim and watch the intensity.

Barrel: We do, which prompted the question. There is an area just above the crease at the bottom of the buttocks and on either side of the vertical separation between the cheeks. Extending out 2" (5cm for those of you using metric) from that intersection, we call the golden triangle. I find it the most sensitive area my wife spanks. We have a small, blue slapper that works well in those tight quarters. But when I am bent over and restrained, my wife likes to try to land the tips of the xh tawse in the golden triangle. I wear a protective cup for obvious reasons. When she is successful, I find it...memorable.

I just bought an 18" (45cm) cane that is 1/4" (6.35mm) in diameter for use when we travel, as we have a cruise planned next year. It fits in our carry-on roller bags and is relatively quiet when applied. While she is still practising with it, she finds it easy to land in intimate areas.

FL: The classic "sit spots" do it for me. I've also had my hands tawsed and my erection flogged, both of which I quite enjoyed but wouldn't classify as spanking.

Wendel: The sit spot for us. 

Bonnie: When my husband smacks me with a serious implement, it's all sensitive. Striking my bits is an absolute hard limit. We're not into torture. There's plenty of available skin back there for him to punish.

His favorite spots to spank are the under curves of my bottom. He wants to make sure that it hurts every time I sit. Believe me. It hurts. He often works over the tops of my thighs in back for the same reason. I have less padding there which makes this technique worse than swats on my butt.

He has one cruel practice that I dread. My bottom is pretty tough thanks to our regular sessions with the paddle. But there are places where he can lay down vivid marks and bruises with relatively little effort. When he decides I am a particularly bad girl, my love spreads my cheeks and beats my inner surfaces repeatedly using the solid wooden hairbrush. This kind of punishment stays with me long after the spanking is over.

Prefectdt: I once was an uptight, bottom, thighs only spanko. But after many years of compromising, with more mainstream BDSMers, I have some limited experience with CBT. I can only recommend that the fleshier part of the thigh and not the actual knee is used when “putting the knee in”. And that kicking only happens with the middle part of the foot and not the toe.      

Rosco: Weighing in for the second time, I haven’t delivered a spanking since the Carter Administration. My wife Irene is all to happy to do the spanking in our relationship. It’s worked out wonderfully.

I did deliver 3 spankings, a few minutes apart one evening at a time when I had never even made out with a girl (we did so afterwards). We were on the beach at night and had wandered away from the others.

We began to wrestle playfully. At one point I turned her over in what we call the diaper position (to keep her face out of the sand) and slapped her bottom a few times. I stopped only because I didn’t want to be accused of being weird.

But she seemed to like it, and a few minutes later I did it again. The third time, I slapped either cheek several times then went for a spot in-between and little lower down. I didn’t smack hard, but she was wearing a onesie with loose short pants that had ridden up so the whole thing was quite a thrill for me - and I think for her as well.

Making out ensued, as well as third base at her behest.

A.J.: God, I'm such a wimp.

I read Ronnie's treatise on caning. And what hit me (Was that a pun???) was understanding what a caning is, the types of canes, the length of canes, practising on objects before you dare use one, the tip speed, warnings on the target areas. Whew! That's a lot of work! That I don't want to do. And Mark's line: "instant clarity of pain," pretty much said "No" to me.

Side note: Many years ago I met this woman for the first time for some strictly OTK fun. Talked to her for almost two hours she was so fascinating! Took me on a tour of her place before the main event. Along a wall were hung many of her "tools of the trade." And at the end - a bullwhip! A fer-real bullwhip!
"You use that?"
"It's rare, but yes. I charge a lot more. And need a couple weeks to prepare."
"Why?"
"Because I use it so rarely and the damage it can deal out is so great I have to practice for hours over several days in advance, before the appointment."

I passed.

And I'm still not interested in caning.

Hermione: Just the sit spots for us. I'm not interested in being hurt in any other areas.

More Advice on Caning

Our very dear friend Ronnie has published a post with a wealth of information on caning. She should know what she's talking about, as she sells a variety of canes and has had much first-hand experience being on the receiving end. 

Here is her advice. While you are visiting her blog, please do take the opportunity to order a cane or  two.

Thunder Clap Them Cheeks

Each evening while I am preparing dinner, Ron goes to the laptop on our dining room table and chooses a stream of music from Youtube. Last night it was a compilation of folk tunes. We listened to the familiar songs by our favourite performers - Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Ian and Sylvia, Colleen Peterson. (See what I did there? All Canadian superstars.)

Then a song came on that was unfamiliar, and not folk at all. Jazz, perhaps? But the lyrics were unmistakably spanko. It's a rather naughty song, and I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

 

That sound, oh baby, that sound.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for November 9

Need advice on caning technique? Read on!

Bonnie: For me, a punishment with the cane is intense to be sure, but it's not the worst implement. I reserve that distinction for a solid wooden bath brush. It feels like a hairbrush, but it burns much hotter. Spankings with this long handled brush leave vivid marks on my bottom and next day soreness.

As far as advice, I'd say remember to breathe. If skin damage is a problem, wear a pair of cotton panties or some leggings. Moisturizing lotion can help afterward. For the spankers, please take care to avoid our hips and back.

Anon: The cane is a very exotic and erotic implement with one of the longest traditions. Three pieces of advice that I'm sure others would share. First, start with a manageable size. You needn't start with the senior cane -- work your way up to it if desired.

Second, the spanker should definitely practice on a pillow long enough to gain confidence of control and accuracy before going to work on a human! If you're worried, then cover the lower back and the thighs. Also, practice not wrapping, as that can be painful and leave unwanted marks.

Third, position is everything for both parties. It may work best with the victim over a pile of pillows to start before graduating to the bent over position. In the latter position, it usually works best for the caner to be slightly ahead of the recipient's bottom to effectively cover both cheeks without wrapping.

Back to point 1, a lighter, shorter cane is not likely to do so much damage with a mishit, so definitely a good place to start.

Enjoy...the cane is my favorite to receive and hope you learn to appreciate it.

Mark: I'd agree with Bonnie, I find wooden paddles much worse. They don't however have the instant clarity of pain that you get with a cane, and not the welts either. I think that it is important that the cane is applied with a very full swing - arm taken right back and wrist cranked back further - then brought down on the bottom as hard as the caner can achieve. Particularly so with women caning men, strike as hard as you can and with the tip lined up to hit the far cheek firmly but not wrap past it.

Do this and the recipient will hear the stroke but not feel anything for a few milliseconds and then there will be a blinding pain. Give them time to process this before applying the next in the same fashion.

The cane you use needs to have a bit of weight too; 10 - 13mm diameter works well. There will be significant bruising at the 13mm diameter on a new cane.

Done well, six strokes are plenty. Over 12 and there will definitely be good bruising and the chance of breaking the skin increases.

Roz: Some great advice above. We haven't used a cane that often so I don't have much in the way of advice to share except that aim is so important. For me I find it a very intense implement.

Barrel: I bought our delrin canes from Aunt Kay at DWC so we have had them a long time. They came with a short VHS tape and several pages of examples how to use the canes effectively. That said, my wife still has mis-hits. 

I agree that practising on a pillow can help. Practise standing further away from the target as the caner’s arm will always extend further than expected, resulting the tip of the cane to wrap, most often around to the sides of the hips, which is really unpleasant. 

Know that thin canes (3/16”) will leave deep welts and may break the skin slightly. Thicker canes leave welts but also a deeper soreness, so give some thought to the desired end result.

My wife and I will usually have a short discussion after she canes me, reviewing the marks and my input on the intensity of her caning. If either of us doesn’t feel the caning was what either of us expected, we will have a topping off to achieve the spacing, color and depth of the welts. Those strokes are always as hard as she can swing and when applied on top of an already marked and welted skin, are memorable.

I find the cane the most intense implement she employs. I dislike the deep bruising and soreness, preferring welts and blood blisters, which I wear as a badge of honor. I do believe that regular canings are fun and needed.

Prefectdt: For this, I am talking about rattan canes and nothing else.

Most canes have a natural bend to them; if you can, just before playing, flex the cane and increase the bend as much as possible. Then, when aiming, place the cane so that the bend goes away from the buttocks at the far end. Then plan the strike so that the cane lands on the nearest buttock first, and the natural flexibility of the rattan should make an even contact across the buttocks. For the recipient, this will give the effect of evenly laid out pain along the stripe of impact.

When coming from a side on swing, like in a bent over the desk situation, always aim the stroke to land short, just at the start of the second buttock. In these situations, the stroke always lands further on than is planned. And the line should now end up fully across both sides of the bottom without wrapping around to the hip bones.

A caner should take their time. Wait between each stroke until the red line of the last stroke laid on appears. This should take between 15 and 30 seconds. The caner can then assess the stroke and compensate for any inaccuracies for the next stroke.

If you are on the receiving end, be prepared for the first stroke of a caning to be a shock to the system. It always is, even for those of us with a lot of experience with canes.      

Rosco: We’ve never used a cane. Irene doesn’t like to plan. She’s fairly whimsical and unlikely to want to count out six of the best or take the necessary care to whack the exact right spot.

A.J.: Interesting comments. Very.

But thanks, anyway. Still not interested in caning, giving or receiving. (Am I boring…?)

Hermione: Thank you for all the excellent advice -- no doubt from first-hand experience. Some years ago I posted a dissertation on the cane, which you may find helpful.

Ronnie: Here is my advice.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for November 2

Is there an implement you haven't figured out, or have never tried but would like to?

Dan: For me, it's the cane. It is such an iconic instrument that I feel like it should be part of my wife's "go to" arsenal. But, we've tried it several times, and for some reason my wife really struggles to use it effectively. She's read materials about how to cane effectively and watched videos showing how to use, but somehow it just doesn't work. 

Rosco: Irene has arthritis in her hands, so we’ve been focusing on implements with round handles for awhile. Most recently I bought a small wooden paddle that has quite an impact and wrapped the handle with a spongy sort of medical tape. It works very well, and I’m surprised there’s been no bruising because it certainly feels like it.

And when we’re out hiking I’m always looking for a good switch. They’re hard to find in our area. The best have been shoots at the base of wild plum trees in the spring. Maybe we’ll find something new next year.

Wendel: The one implement we do not have is a cane. It is something we have talked about buying and trying out one day. On hikes we will look for the ideal stick to whip each other’s bottom like a cane, but we never keep them. 

Roz: I'm afraid my answer is a boring one. I can't think of anything in particular at the moment.

Luvinhub: Similar to the others the cane and a switch are two that my ass has yet to feel. The cane is a curiosity and scary. The switch, I have fantasized and even written stories for my wife of being on one of our bike rides when I do something wrong and a few steps from the trail she uses a switch to discipline me. 

Jack: My wife/mommy has tried several items, when she first used the bathbrush and saw my reaction she used it and still look for something more effective, she could not find one.

Prefectdt: Several years ago I made a chamois leather flogger. It has to be used wet as it is stiff and brittle when dry. It got swung once, at a very weak practice stroke, inside a tiled bathroom. It produced so much spray that even in that situation, it was deemed not to be any good for indoor play. So it sits in the toy box, stiff and brittle waiting to be soaked and used properly. I so want to know what it is like being wet flogged with that toy, but will probably never experience it as it was meant to be used.     

Barrel: I bought a single tail whip several months ago. It is about 36" long including the tail at the end which is called a popper. The popper can be changed from a soft chamois leather strip to twin 6" heavy leather tails. It currently sports the heavy leather tails. Despite watching videos and practising on a pillow, my wife is still learning how to administer a whipping with it.
Standing back to extend the full length, while trying to land just the tips, it varies from sensual to intense. When she holds it at mid length, she can land it wherever she wishes, from my back to my thighs.
When we finish a session with it, she always tells me she really liked it. Thus the fascination knowing as she improves in using it, I will need to learn to like it as well. 

Bonnie: You stumped me! I can't think of any interesting implement type we haven't already tried.

Hermione: I've always been curious to find out what it would be like to receive a proper caning with a school cane. We have a short wooden cane, suitable for otk, but it just feels like being whacked with a wooden dowel.   

I have also been intrigued by the thought of being birched. Many of the stories in The Pearl feature vigorous birchings, but I suspect the experience would not be at all pleasant.

Ronnie: No, can’t think of anything I’d want to try.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for October 26

Do your spankings include warm-ups?

Norse Cavalier: All of the spankings I give include warm-up. The spankee can take a far harder spanking with a good warm-up first. For new spankees, it will make their first spanking far less scary. And for punishment spankings, it lets me pull out the heavier implements.

Roz: I would say a warm-up is included in all spankings as they tend to start less intense and slowly build up from there. The intensity often also varies during the spanking, to keep me guessing and on my toes.

Rosco: Well, yes and no. Irene is whimsical, not methodical. She likes to make it hurt (she confesses), but only to a certain degree. I’ve explained that the bottom absorbs spankings differently after a warm up and she understands that in her head but doesn’t fully get it.

So some spankings begin with decided enthusiasm, I.e. no warm up. But she’ll back off when I react with extreme kicking of the legs - I try not to yell.

As spankees know, it’s especially intense when one’s bottom is cold - e.g. if you’ve been out on a winter’s day before said spanking. Those whacks just hurt - it’s harder to savor the experience.

Glenmore: Nope! She gets right down to business.

Jack: If you mean getting a spanking then having to stand in the corner, knowing the spanking is not over, that could be a warm up. 

Bonnie: Sometimes I get a warm-up. Other times, Randy prefers full power from the first swat. As shocking as the latter approach is, I can accept a longer, harder spanking if it is preceded by a warm-up. He knows this, so that warm-up is not necessarily a kindness.

A fast and furious start feels like corporal punishment and puts me in that familiar headspace. I love to be the bad girl across his lap receiving correction for my most recent transgression.

A more gradual build up feels more like play, even if it doesn't conclude that way. In this case, I am well aware that spankings are supposed to hurt and they always do. But I get to wonder what's next.     

Wendel: No warm-up here. It is a good spanking from start to finish. 

Barrel: It depends. If we are using a spanking as a prelude to intimacy, most often she starts slower and with a smaller count, pauses and then the next sets are more intense and with a higher quantity. I usually get two to four sets with whatever implement she wants to use.
If we have a planned session, there is no warm-up, other than some caressing of my white, unblemished skin...a blank canvas, she likes to say. Then the implements come into play and we are off. As everyone knows, a hard thrashing right from the beginning is nasty, and a cold caning is the worst, but if that is what she has planned, I can only endure.  

Predfectdt: It depends on what you define as a warm-up. With most things I can go straight into proper play now, unlike when I was younger. But with harsher toys, like a rattan cane, for example, It is better if they are not the first thing out of the box. So it can be supposed that the other spanking toys used before that are a sort of a warm-up for the hard stuff. A cold caning is hard to take. Other than that, if the other participant is a first time or inexperienced spanker, then I might encourage them to start easy and work on their accuracy first and their intensity of stroke, once they have mastered a good aim. So that kind of play can have a sort of calmer start to it. 

Dan: No, Anne is pretty binary in her spanking approach. From the first swat, it's hard and at a deliberate, fairly fast pace.

Anon: Always!!! When on either side of the lap.
I don’t give/believe in punishment spankings, and certainly would not accept one (although, at certain times the Grande Finale! has been a little “vigorous”, if you know what I mean. Often “ memorable”.)

All is a prelude to ‘intimacy.’

Hermione: Not an actual warm-up. but Ron always starts off with a pretty mild implement, then moves on to the more severe ones. 

Graham: Usually. However, if it's disciplinary and time is limited, it's likely to be short and hard from the start!

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #614

Hello and welcome! Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. It's always great to see you. I hope you will find today's discussion both interesting and enlightening. This week I was contemplating the role that warm-ups play. By that I mean spankings that are lighter, meant as a preparation for the main event.

Do your spankings include warm-ups? Are they used regularly or only under certain circumstances? What purpose do they serve for you and your partner?

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

A Canadian Tradition

Last week I wrote about a baking mishap involving butter tart squares. Donn asked if I would post the recipe, so here it is.

Butter Tart Squares

½ cup butter
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Lightly grease and line an 8” x 8” (2L) baking dish with parchment paper*, letting paper hang slightly over two sides of pan to use as handles for easy removal of squares.

To Make Base: In a small mixer bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter or margarine and confectioners' sugar. Blend in flour. Pat into pan. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes.

To Make Filling: In a large bowl combine brown sugar, melted butter or margarine, beaten eggs, vinegar, vanilla, and raisins. Pour over base and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until set. 

* A tip I learned from Jamie Oliver: Take the sheet of parchment paper and crumple it into a ball. Then smooth it out and line the pan with it. The crumpling will make the paper press into the corners easily.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for October 19

What happens when you are interrupted?

Barrel: So far, we have never been interrupted, thank goodness. We have been delayed due to stuff, which is frustrating, but always made up for when the coast is clear. Being retired, we have lots of time to plan and schedule what sounds good at the time.

Jack: My wife/mommy does not care if someone drops in, normally her mother, or one of her friends. If I’m get a spanking it continues and does not matter if I’m naked or not, the spanking continues.

Wendel: When we have family over for dinner I will paddle the Misses just before they arrive. It is fun to watch her cautiously move about due to the sore bottom. There has been the occasion when a family member arrives a little early and the paddling has to stop.
Luckily there has never been an interruption when we spank each other outdoors. 

Roz: There has been a knock on the door either just before we were about to start or during on the rare occasion. We dealt with the interruption. I can't remember now whether we were then put off continuing or not but I suspect we probably were. Or at least I would have been.   

Glenmore: We had a couple of occasions when someone interrupted a spanking , both because we neglected to lock the front or bedroom door.

The first one was our 4 year old who came into our bedroom as I was bent over the bed awaiting the paddle which we quickly aborted.

The second one was when our friend and neighbour came in the house while we were in the bedroom in the middle of a hairbrush spanking. When we heard her we quickly stopped and my wife went to talk to her while I got dressed and I'm sure my face was as red as my butt when I joined them. Our friend didn't say anything but she had a wry smile on her face so she heard enough to know what was happening.

We have also had telephone calls in the middle of a spanking and one my wife did pick up as she knew it was her Mom calling to make sure we got home safely during a storm. It was pretty humiliating lying over her lap with a red butt while they chatted for a few minutes and then she picked up where she left off!

There were a couple of times where the doorbell rang but the door was locked so we just ignored it.

Prefectdt: In all of the years of playing I can only recall three interruptions. The first was during a pay to play, when someone came hammering at the door of the location. The caning, that I was getting at the time, stopped and we both just stayed, silently, where we were until the person went away and then play resumed.

The second time happened with another amateur enthusiast, who had an apartment in a converted house, where she thought that all of her neighbours would be at work in the day time. One was not and came to see what the noise was about. The lights got turned off and we pretended not to be there for about 90 minutes. Until it was deemed safe for me to leave, quickly and quietly.

The last time was in another pay to play, in the red light district of Antwerp. I was on the receiving end of a very pleasant, multiple toy whooping, when there was a tapping at the curtained window. The other person present went to see what was up. It turned out that at the end of her day there, she would always walk home with another window occupant, who had turned up a little earlier than she expected. I was asked if I minded if she came in and waited whilst my session was finished. I was away with the fairies by then and did not care at all about anything, and so gave my permission. The third person present seemed totally unaffected by what was being done to me and just sat on a stool, facing away from us, concentrating on her phone. 

Anon: I think you overlooked an option. Once upon a time a short while ago, it was determined that I'd been naughty and needed punishment. My then-boyfriend (now husband) began by putting me over his knee for a bare-bottomed hand spanking. Then he bent me over the kitchen table for a session with his leather belt. About ten lashes into it, my cat jumped up on the table and got in the way. I had to get up and lock Kitty in the bathroom. When I re-assumed my position, my love resumed my leather lesson, but was unhappy that my bottom had cooled off and wasn't as bright red. He lit into me harder and faster than before, really brought me to a fevered pitch. It felt like he belt-whipped me twice as hard and three times as fast compared with before. This was a unique situation, and it got us both super excited. So, to quote Hermione, "nudge, nudge, wink, wink." You all know what ensued right away afterward...

FL: Not interrupted exactly but on one occasion I was over her knee on the bed getting a good spanking when the phone rang. She stopped what she was doing and answered it calmly, while I remained laying across her lap. She chatted with her friend for a couple of minutes, then handed me the phone, to answer a question the friend had regarding a computer issue. It was incredibly awkward and a massive turn-on at the same time.

Ronnie: Yes there have been a few interruptions over the years. Some we have ignored and then carried on. One time a knock at the door became persistent, we stopped and I wentdown stairs. It was our neighbour (said she thought we must be in as our car was on the drive) she needed help so P went to help. Needless to say we didn’t resume my spanking that day.    

Hermione: We have had an interruption just before beginning. A neighbour came by to give us a small gift for taking in their mail while they were away. We did carry on after, but without a "happy ending" as the disturbance put us off.

Ron always deactivates our landline so no phone calls will interrupt us, and puts on the television for the dogs. On a couple of occasions a dog has stopped us by wailing that it was time for us to get him out of his crate, and that put an end to any spanking.
