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.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #615

Welcome! I hope you all had an uneventful Hallowe'en. Our street was blocked off for four hours so that kids could rampage over the neighbourhood without fear of being run over. However, steady rain and near-freezing temperatures caused the event to be packed up by 7:30. Thank goodness!

Thanks to our good friend Barrel, we have a topic that I've never considered before.

Is there an implement that you haven’t quite figured out or perfected its use, that fascinates you?  Or one you don’t have yet that intrigues you, and why?

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

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?

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.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #613

The weather is turning cooler here in Canada, but it's warm and toasty here at our weekly brunch, so let's get started on this week's topic. Here's a repost of the brunch we enjoyed 11 years ago.

Sometimes our spankings don't always go exactly as planned. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Are your spankings sometimes interrupted by external events? If so, what do you do? 

1. Ignore the interruption and carry on
2. Stop, deal with the interruption, then continue where you left off
3. Abandon the spanking or postpone it until a better time
4. It depends

A Baking FAIL (sort of)

 

 

We were expecting company for Thanksgiving last Monday, and our guests always enjoy my butter tart squares. Traditional Canadian butter tarts (pictured above) are a favourite of ours, but I prefer to make butter tart squares.

The taste is the same, but I skip the trouble of rolling out pastry, and make then in a cake pan with a sweet crumb base and a topping of butter, sugar, flour and raisins. So the squares were made, baked and sampled the day before. Yummy!

But the next morning, while Ron was preparing to make scrambled eggs in the microwave, he opened the door to the appliance and found a measuring cup full of congealed butter. Oops! I had measured out the butter (1 1/2 sticks) and put it in the microwave to melt, then had completely forgotten about it. It hadn't mattered to the flavour and we had not noticed anything wrong with the sweets the day before. 

Our guests enjoyed the goodies and we didn't mention the omission, but now Ron refers to them as 'tart squares' because there is no butter in them :)

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.

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.

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?

Today I'm roasting sweet red peppers from our garden. For many years I was unable to let the green peppers mature and turn red because the slugs would snack on them before they were ripe. We haven't had slugs for several years now -- I don't know why they suddenly disappeared -- so I can let the peppers ripen. I freeze the roasted peppers for use during the year in various recipes.

Speaking of recipes, do any of you remember the good old days when gelatin salads were a staple at family gatherings? Jell-o was used in a variety of ways back then. My grandmother often served Jell-o and cream as a dessert. If you were as really good cook, you would follow these guidelines:

I think I'll pass on a serving of the last ones.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 21

Is the spanker talkative? Let's see...

Jack: My wife/mommy applies the bath brush at first with the reason I’m getting a spanking. It lands very hard and I at first try not to react. Then the spankingis very hard, fast and switching cheeks to  ensure sitting afterwards is very hard. When she is nearing the end, the spanks are really hard and one at a time, "Are you going to be a good little boy?" and I must respond "Yes Mommy", "are you going to do as told"? "Yes Mommy". "You will stand in the corner." "Yes Mommy". "No rubbing." "Yes Mommy".

Barrel: Generally she talks to me a little bit. Yesterday, during a long awaited session, she mentioned she was delivering "strokes in 10's" as opposed to the normal 6's. As I was secured to an overhead suspension bar in our garage, she lowered the bar enough and instructed me to "present my bottom" for her. When I started to breathe heavily, she told me to "breath deeply but slowly". She told me she hadn't achieved the color or texture she wanted just yet, so on she went. When she asked me if I "was done" and I responded that I was, she told me I "failed to let her use all her implements", including one of her favorites. So on came the tawse plus "extras" for forgetting her favorite.
If warranted, my wife will reprimand me for bad behavior during a session, while making her point with the cane. 

Wendel: Aside from the announcement that one of us is getting spanked there is not much talking. The paddle and belt do all the talking.

Norse Cavalier: If it's a punishment spanking, I scold her severely. The spanking alone isn't always enough to make her regret her actions, but the right words can have a nice effect.

If it's a fun spanking, I tease her for the cute little grunts and moans she's making - which makes her blush even more. Also, I ask her how she's doing, if she'd like it harder or softer, and whether there are any implements she'd prefer. Stuff like that.

Roz: Nowdays spanking is for fun. There is usually a bit of banter or he may tease a bit about my reaction to the spanking if there are a few ooh's and ouches. He may also ask the odd question which I am somehow supposed to be able to answer.

Rosco: Pretty much always a lecture. Spanking is told play for us. I’ve been caught peeking up girls’ skirts or doing something similar. Maybe I’ve been reported to the teacher or maybe the girls simply punish me themselves. Irene will sometimes play different roles, even changing her clothes over an hour or two. At any rate, the lecture is an important part - almost as important as the spanking itself.

Irene has counted a few times or instructed me to count. But it’s rare.

She doesn’t joke per se, but she laughs at me for being the silly naughty boy with the red bottom that she’s going to let all the other girls see - and maybe take a turn spanking as well. 

Bonnie: There is generally some banter as Randy spanks me. The content varies depending upon how he chooses to present the session and to a lesser extent how I respond.

I love a good corporal punishment scenario. This involves a lecture about my real or imagined transgressions and why a very long, very hard spanking is necessary and how sore my bottom will be when he's finished and how sorry I should be for being a such an unruly girl. Sometimes, I play along. Other times, I protest or pose impertinent questions. The result is pretty much the same either way.

In other cases, it's sexy talk. I like this too. He tells me how beautiful I am and how much he loves to give me what I need. I lap this up. Eventually we move on to what's next.

We laugh and joke a lot. When Randy takes his stern disciplinarian role over the top, I can't help cracking up even though I am hurting.

He occasionally counts out the swats and less frequently, requires me to do so. For reasons I do not understand, this seems to make it hurt more.

One aspect I don't like is having to answer questions. When I am across his lap and in the middle of getting spanked, my brain doesn't work very well. Wrong answers earn me extra hard whacks. So do responses like, "How the &*#@ should I know?" The Spanking edition of Trivial Pursuits is totally not fair.

That's the long way to say YES.

Prefectdt: As I have experienced multiple Spankers, I can say yes to all of the above, for this question. I like it when a Spanker has her own style and does it her way.

I think that one important type of Spanker style has been left off this list. Those that play with your mind. I remember once, when I was already well on my way to dancing with the fairies. The other person in the room started telling me that it was different days of the week. I ended up utterly confused, and once we were finished (this was the days before mobile phones) I had to buy a newspaper, just to find out what day of the week it was.       

S: Sometimes during a funishment spanking while she is OTK, I will make her ask me to spank her harder by having her say, "I am a naughty girl, please spank me harder!" To which I will respond, okay if that is what you want. 

FL: A good scolding is a crucial element of a thorough spanking.

A.J.: "...is the spanker talkative? " Sure. On either side of the lap.

"Is there a lecture? Quips or jokes? Counting?" No lectures. Quips about my tush becoming red and (usually) more to come? Yup!

"Or is there just an eerie silence?" In a spanking???? Does that ever happen?

I'm just a fun spanker/spankee, so there is a lot back and forth. 

Anon: The spankee is told beforehand what it is for, and often directed to count spanks along with stating with each one a line indicating what behavior must not be repeated. If she does not clearly speak as directed, a lengthy extra hair brushing follows.    

Hermione: Ron sometimes makes jokes, when the mood strikes him. He never lectures because our spankings are not for punishment. Sometimes he will tell me to adjust my position or stop making so much noise. Often, though, he remains silent.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #609

Greetings from all of us to all of you. Let's get started on a topic that we first addressed ten years ago today. I hope you will still find it entertaining. 

There's often more to a spanking than just the percussive action, and more sounds than those the spankee involuntarily makes. Let's see what the person on the other end of the paddle has to say.

During your spanking activities, is the spanker talkative? Is there a lecture? Quips or jokes? Counting? Or is there just an eerie silence?

Leave your reply as a comment, and once everyone has contributed I will publish a summary of our discussion.

Losing the Food Lottery

My plan for today is to whip up a big batch of borscht using the beets I grew in our garden this summer. I assume everything will go according to plan and we'll enjoy a nice bowl of soup for lunch tomorrow. But not everyone is so lucky. These people lost the food lottery.

 

All rind and no juicy watermelon.

Now that's a seed!

A light and airy loaf

 

Where did that cheese go?

 

Now you see it, now you don't

 

SpongeBob? More like a minion.

 

This is no yolk.

By the way, Blogger wouldn't let me upload my pictures in the usual way. I had to drag and drop then from my folder. Bug of the day, I assume. 

Happy hump day!

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 14

Do you ever do cornertime?

Dan: We tried it a time or two, and it just doesn't work for me. I've been into meditation for a couple of decades, and as soon as I face the wall, I start going into a very blank space. If it's being used for punishment or to make me think about an imminent spanking, it fails for me.

CEM: Yes. Sometimes before, during "intermission", and obviously after. In addition to other aspects, I enjoy the view. :) 

Anon: I use it all the time. It's a good time for her to reflect, me to see where she needs more attention. 

Rosco: We do it once in a while, but Irene has never left me standing in the corner long.

But we do something else similar that works for us. After she spanks me, she ties me up and puts me down for a nap - usually blindfolded sometimes gagged. Oddly I do fall asleep with the hypnotic bliss of my hot bottom and her sharp scolding. Go figure. It’s been our usual pattern for 10 or so years now and works really nicely.

Irene will come back in 30 minutes or a hour, and wake me if necessary. Usually more discipline will ensue followed by more traditional sexual activities.

Norse Cavalier: When I give a punishment spanking, I always put the young lady in the corner afterwards - usually only for five minutes, though I never tell her that in advance, so she has no idea how long I've set the timer for. I use corner time because it helps her think about what she's done, and she also looks adorable standing there with a red bottom.

I also often use them for fun spankings, depending on what the spankee wants.

Roz: We have used corner time on occasion in the past. Sometimes on its own and other times combined with a spanking, usually before the spanking.

Luvinhub: When we were in a WLM, a few times she made me stand in the corner. I would say it was somewhat effective on my side of things. I don't know if she enjoyed it or if it accomplished what she wanted.

Prefectdt: Not a big fan of corner time myself, I try to avoid it unless it is in the motivational psyche of the other participant in the spanking. It is not too bad when combined with a pacing spanker, doing some strong berating. But being left alone and feeling abandoned spoils things, in my opinion.

Barrel: Never used corner time. I doubt it would work for us. After a session, we usually talk about what worked, what each other really liked and how to ensure we repeat it in the next session.
We have taken a break in the middle of an extended thrashing. Usually for me to catch my breath and her to take a sip of wine while she assesses my condition and color. Then she restarts.

A.J.: No. Absolutely no interest in it. On the receiving end I have never been in a corner; on the giving side never had someone in a corner.

I do have a spanking pen-pal whom I once asked to describe her favorite fantasy spanking - a reenactment of the spanking her angry mother gave her when she was 17: OTK, bare-bottom, HARD, with a hairbrush, followed by corner time with her bright red bottom on display.

ME: Really? You really want that?

Her (thinking..): I don't know. It really hurt. Maybe I should just leave it as a fantasy...?

Yeah; maybe that's a better idea.

I did offer her the services of a woman I knew would would give her what she wanted, with the caveat that you can stop it at any time if it gets to be too much!

She laughed and said no. Keep it a fantasy. (Chicken!)

Hermione: It's not for us either. I have no interest in being stuck in a corner before, during or after a spanking. Even the descriptions in stories turn me off.
