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.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #608

Welcome, one and all, to our weekly get together to discuss all things related to spanking. I'm a big fan of the Spanking Library, and something I have noticed in many stories, besides the inevitable spanking of course, is the inclusion of corner time. Sometimes it happens before a spanking, more often after, and even in between rounds of over the knee. 

Do your spankings ever include a period of corner time? If so, is this a regular occurrence? If not, is it something you would be interested in trying?

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion once everyone has had an opportunity to respond.

What? No Spanking?

After seeing my post last week with a map of fetishes in the UK, our good friend Rosco wondered if there was a similar map for the US. He actually found one and left the link in a comment. In case you didn't follow it, here is the map of fetishes in the US,and a link to the full article here. 

There are  a few I've never heard of. But what is odd is, there is no state in which spanking is the most popular fetish. I wonder why. Maybe that explains a lot about that country. Just saying.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 7

Do your spankings have a 'grand finale'?

Bonnie: Sometimes. Maybe. I never know until it happens. If there is a pattern, I have yet to discern it. If he has a plan, he doesn't share it in advance.

Randy says he likes to surprise me. My expression of surprise in this case is to loudly exclaim, "Ow!".

Wendel: We only use one implement during a spanking so there is no big finale.

Donn: Yes, for punishment thrashings with one of her rubber straps, my wife does have such a technique that she sometimes uses, but it can only be used if I am standing (bent over a chair for support), kneeling beside and bent over the edge of the bed, or I'm mounted on a spanking horse.

At the very end, when much of my butt has become much less sensitive (sometimes actually numb) due to the repeated strokes (from left of right sides), my wife will take up position directly behind me.

From that position, she can swing the strap "back and forth" in front of her, quite fast if she chooses, repeatedly striking the outer right-side of my right butt cheek on her "fore-swing," then the left-side of my left butt-cheek on her "back-swing." Striking areas that have NOT been desensitized from previous repeated strokes applied from either side. (Yes, she does sometimes gets a little too close and strikes the "fore-hip" along with the side of the butt-cheek.)

Yes, it makes a very intense a "grand finale" for a punishment thrashing. It's very hard to maintain control and position when she dials up the speed of strokes and shortens the cycles/intervals. I prefer to be restrained if I know in advance she plans to use this technique.   

Mija: For a punishment, generally the end is a tawse or hairbrush. But those could be the start too. Other times a hand spanking ending can be pretty sweet. 

Roz: There is no finale, specific implement or signal as such. Sometimes the strokes may be in quicker and more forceful leading up to the end.

Prefectdt: It varies from one spanker to another. But, when possible, I often request to finish with a hard caning on my lower buttocks and upper thighs. The part that is sat upon, usually. Hopefully this will leave some welts that I will feel for some days after the spanking, every time that I sit down. If a caning is not possible, whatever is the most harsh thing available, to finish play. Just to test how much I can take that day, which can vary a lot from one play to another.

JJRose: It varies from one spanker to another. But, when possible, I often request to finish with a hard caning on my lower buttocks and upper thighs. The part that is sat upon, usually. Hopefully this will leave some welts, that I will feel for some days after the spanking, every time that I sit down. If a caning is not possible, whatever is the most harsh thing available, to finish play. Just to test how much I can take that day, which can vary a lot from one play to another.

Barrel: During a session, cane use is standard. She will continue until she has achieved the look, both color and texture, she wants. Invariably, there will be missed spots or an area that lacks the desired color. Regardless of the quantity, the cane is generally the remedy and last toy employed. If lacking in color, her go to is always the hair brush or rubber paddle.

A.J.: I was right, Hermione??? Dayam.

It was many years ago and I was with one of my fav spankers. (To repeat what I have said before - I'm a fun spanker/spankee. All the spankings I have participated in have been oriented toward a sexual, (ahem) "finale.")

But this day, at the close of my session with my fav spanker, I admitted to her that I had never been REALLY spanked - in the sense of a real spanking someone in authority (like ones often mentioned in literature) would dish out.

I told her that. Then asked..."Would you mind...?

Her: "No." (What? No?)
Told me she was a pro and knew I was done.

Me: Just a taste. To know. How about 100? Your hand, hard and fast.

And then I coined one of my favorite terms, "Like, pretend you are my angry girlfriend." (Thus, the origin of the term for the "angry girlfriend" spanking. On the flip side it's the "angry boyfriend."

Ahhh! Being a girl she knew what an "angry girlfriend" was!

Her: "OK. But how about only 50, at first?"

Deal!

I got 50. Took all of 17-seconds. And I was ALIVE and kicking (literally) for all 50 of them!!! Whew!

We talked, and after a while I said, let's go for it. Give me the final 50.

She did. Another 17-seconds and it was over. I was truly spanked. I found out what a real spanking was. I wound up furiously rubbing my tush in front of my spank-pal who was now - GRINNING EAR-TO-EAR! ('Told 'ja!' she didn't need to say.)

From then on, whenever I felt at the conclusion of some otk time, that I needed a bit more, I'd ask (Key word!) for the grande finale. And 50 the standard.

On the flip side when she is otk, she HAS TO ASK ME for her grande finale. if she wants it. No assumptions.

NB: The nice part? Unlike previous sessions, I could still feel the tingling in my tush when I went to bed late that night (By morning it was gone.) But most of all, I remembered my spanking friend! SHE made it a memorable time. I often think of her to this day.    

Rosco: If Irene is using her (our) round-handled two-tailed strap, generally yes. I’ll have a sense she’s making the effort to take a full swing for 6 or 7 swats.

Most recently, however, she’s been favoring a wooden paddle - ever since I wrapped in in cloth tape (she has trouble gripping with her hands but is generally pretty athletic and strong). Taking a full swing with the paddle would be a bit much for either of who revel in intensity but not severity. So it’s harder to have a grand finale with that paddle.

I tend to think of the grand finale as what comes after - first her then me.

Hermione: To let me know the end has arrived, Ron spritzes my tush with water from a spray bottle he keeps handy.  

Loki_Darksong: One of the things I do at events was what I call an intro session. It is my sampler dish that is a brief taste of the basic spanking food groups. A hand spanking followed by a paddling followed by a strapping and for its finale and caning.

None of it heavy but just enough to perk an interest for future exploration from the person I am spanking. 

S: My spankings are funishment spankings, but as a finale I usually concentrate some heavy spanks to her sit spots and ask her if she is going to be a good girl. Sometimes I might also give her a couple of pinches. I also like to give her a couple of light spanks and say it is all over.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #607

At last week's brunch, our good friend A.J. remarked that no one had specifically responded to the second part of the two-question topic. He was right. Since I am not one to let a good question go to waste, I am reusing that question so that it might stand alone today. 

Does your spanking have a 'grand finale'? Does it include a specific implement? Details, please!

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion once everyone has had an opportunity to respond.

Love spanking? Here's where to go

An adult website Clips4Sale has revealed the most popular fetish in each UK city in a kinky new map. It seems that residents of Sheffield like spanking best. For how they obtained their information (it wasn't by peeping into windows) read the full article here.

I will keep that in mind if I ever get the chance to visit Britain.

Thank you, Boru, for finding this gem.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for August 31

How many toys are usually employed in a session?

Rosco: We have four primary implements these days, all of which I’ve purchased for Irene to use on me as she sees fit. All have round handles which she prefers due to her smallish hands and touch of arthritis. In order of severity:

A leather covered ping pong paddle
A somewhat floppy small paddle of unknown material
A long two tailed leather strap on a wooden handle
A small wooden paddle, like a hairbrush but without any bristles.

The last one hurts like crazy if I’m not warmed up. I try to moan and whine softly but get loud when things really hurt.

In late spring I look for shoots of wild plum trees. They deliver a delicious sting. 

Wendel: Spankings here are one implement only. There may be a few smacks on the bottom by the hand before a paddling or whipping but that is it. 

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the belt. The sting and pain from each whack feel just right.
The Misses is quite fond of a good old-fashioned hand spanking and does favor the paddle. 

Bonnie: For my routine spankings (lift my skirt and bend me over), Randy usually uses one implement. His favorite at the moment is a teardrop shaped hardwood paddle. My favorite (as if that matters) is a smaller leather paddle. When he wants to make a point, he chooses a solid wooden dogleg hairbrush or even the very ouchy wooden bath brush.

When spankings get more involved, he tends to pull out implements like the punishment cane or one of the bigger paddles in addition to those previously mentioned. Other times he surprises me. But the outcome is generally more or less the same. 

S: When I spank someone, I like to use a lot of different implements. I usually include a paddle that I made from a 3/4 inch thick industrial rubber. It is about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. It is very heavy and produces a very satisfying smack. It is very fun to use.

Spanky53: Hmmm, for me and my partners we usually go through my whole bag of toys which means anywhere between 18 to 23 depends on what I've prepared. The one item that always gets used is my very supple belt with a turquoise buckle, and the finish is always my hand. The most asked for item is a toy I call the stinger.

Roz: If not with the hand it's usually a maximum of 2 implements, our leather paddle and either wooden spoon or paint stirrer. 

Prefectdt: Between 6 to 10 toys are usually in play, when I am taking some. That sounds like a lot, and it include pervertibles most of the time, not all specific spanking toys. One toy that is always used is a belt. Because I always turn up for a spanking wearing one, usually my nice, stiff, handmade belt that I got from a leatherworker in the Ardennes in 2020. If one is available, I like to be caned hard, with a rattan cane, to finish off the play. This will hopefully leave some welts to sit on that will help me remember the joys of being spanked for days afterwards.

Ronnie: Normally two. Hand, Leatherthorn paddle (my favourite), small holey wooden paddle (his favourite), Headmaster-style cane, long twisted wooden loopy or small straight wooden cane for OTK. Depends on the spanking as to which ones are used.  

A.J.: How many toys are typically used in your spankings?

My hand a toy? Overwhelmingly, that's the only "tool" I use. (Yes; I'm boring.)

Is there one that is most often used during the finale, and if so, why?

Same answer but that could be a new brunch question for you, Hermione:

Do your spankings include a "Grande Finale?" Yes? Tell us about it.

Barrel: If the spanking is a prelude to intimacy, I usually get just the wooden hairbrush. Damn thing has grooves on the business end opposite the bristles and when applied with vigor, leaves blood blisters below the skin. She likes that as they remain for 3 to 4 days. Occasionally, she will substitute a heavy plastic paddle, which is nasty.

During a session, she will employ 4 or 5 toys that include the leather strap I fashioned from an old luggage strap (probably her favorite based on how she swings it), two-tailed tawse (which she is trying to perfect landing on my inner creases), single tail whip (spread around) and always the two delrin canes. The thick cane is "thuddy" and imparts a deep, lasting ouch. The thin cane is evil and leaves marks, which I wear as badges of honor for a week.   

Anon: Several but not always the same. Usually a small round wooden paddle with a hole in the middle, at least one small leather strap, a couple of lexan paddles also with holes, a full-butt light wooden paddle with lots of beveled holes and most often ending with the cane. Ouch! 

FL: Ideally, hand, hairbrush, belt. In that order.

Dan: In the old days, there was a lot of variability. She might work in as many as five or six implements, including various paddles, straps and brushes. These days, it's usually one or two. The ebony hairbrush often makes an appearance, though it is almost never the main event. Her go-to instrument, which almost always is the star of the show, is the bath brush.   

Hermione: We always have four in use, and Ron chooses three. The leather dogging bat (my favourite) is a must. Then either a black leather hand-shaped slapper or a longer black leather strap. Next a wooden shoehorn or a leather 'flyswatter' with metal studs. My choice is either the Leatherthorn paddle or a ping pong paddle which sadly broke this weekend.

Hello and welcome! Our good friend Barrel sent me a topic that I suspect you will all enjoy discussing.

How many toys are typically used in your spankings?  If more than one, is there one toy that is always used?  Is there one that is most often used during the finale, and if so, why?

Window Shopping

If you were strolling along the sidewalk in a shopping district and saw these panties in a store window, what would your reaction be? A smile at least, or maybe you might step inside to check out the other wares for sale. If you are a resident or a tourist in Virginia Beach, this sight may no longer be available.

The Virginia Beach council voted last week to prohibit display of "vulgar" or "indecent" clothing in the shop windows along the popular Atlantic Avenue boardwalk. The reason is that the lewd messages are spoiling the area's "wholesome" image and may keep people away from the hotels, restaurants and bars in the area. I don't know about you, but I would be more likely to visit the boardwalk if the shop windows were this entertaining. Read the full story, including pictures, here.

Thank you Rosco for finding this gem.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for August 24

What characteristics do you look for in a spanker or spankee?

Barrel: I don't have to look for a spanker, I am married to one, thank goodness.

Traits I admire in her are resolve and commitment. When we plan a session, I tend to get cold feet as the time approaches. She takes me through the apprehension with sensitivity, but focused on delivering the thrashing we have planned. She ensures our restraints are secure and I am comfortable before she begins. As our sessions are intense, she is resolved to deliver either the quantity of strokes or obtain the desired color and markings with passion. Often she senses I have had enough, but she will continue to her satisfaction.
It has taken us 30 years to get to the point where she likes the actual act of spanking the most. I feel blessed to be where we are.

Roz: As a spankee the traits I like a spanker who is confident, has a plan for the spanking (knows what they want out of the spanking for both of us), and who is good at reading the spankee and is able to adjust based on the spankee's reaction.

Rosco: For me, watching a spanking video without a lecture is usually boring. And a lecture adds to the fun of getting a spanking. It doesn’t have to be super serious and can even be lighthearted but it’s part of the experience for me.

There’s a wide variety of intensities that can be compelling but some videos are too little and some definitely too much. I do have a double standard in that seeing a man delivering a hard spanking is far more likely to be a turn off than if a woman is doing it.

Irene has four implements she favors, and often switches between them when she thrashes me. There’s a pause and I don’t know exactly when the next one is coming or what “flavor” it will have. I try to hold still and whine softly with appreciation, but I’ll kick my legs and make more noise when it’s truly hard.

Prefectdt: What characteristics do I look for in a spanker? Firstly she must be honest and aware of her level of knowledge, where administering corporal punishment is concerned. I like a spanker who is an individual and has or is developing her own style in both physical administration and managing a spanking scenario. Lastly, it is the cherry on the cake, if she is genuinely enjoying punishing my old rear end and other body parts.

How would I describe my ideal spanker? Confident, skilled, harsh, fun and having her own way of doing things. Whilst respecting my hard limits and limits, of course.

Jack: My wife/mommy as far as I’m concerned is the ideal spanker. She can be my wonderful wife, but when I’m naughty that look is a Mommy look and that is not good.

Wendel: My answers for this one are regarding videos or pictures. In the real world the Misses is the perfect spanker and looks extremely sexy taking a spanking.
For a spanker: I always envision the spanker to be an older woman maybe fifty plus with a stern look in her face. I am not big into lectures. Less talking more spanking.
For a spankee: The woman needs to bare her bottom and take the spanking. That is it. She does not need to be naked. I just like watching the bare bottom being spanked. 

Bonnie: I wrote an article on this very subject almost ten years ago. My tastes haven't changed much.

FL: Someone who has a strict demeanour, able to deliver a good scolding, is resolute in the face of my pleading, and is just a bit intimidating. Not loud or shrill, but absolutely in control. Physically I have a preference for mature women, with solid figures and laps that accommodate a man. Not fat but not skinny either.

KDPierre: For me it's definitely a sincere belief in their role and in the efficacy of spanking. A spanker who is not play-acting but truly sees their role as logical, sensible, natural, and deserved will usually then have confidence, determination, and all the other aspects of a loving disciplinarian. If you have a person like this in a consensual relationship with someone who sees themselves as in need of such an influence in their life, the resulting punishments will be powerful even if not necessarily severe.

For me personally, I feel very appreciative afterwards if a spanker can have me feeling genuine remorse and even a desperation to make amends and please. I have pride and a spanker that can effectively challenge that pride and coax a good bit of sincere humility out of me through a combination of scolding and application of paddle will earn my admiration and respect.

Hermione: I like a man who surprises me with a spanking when I least expect it. I also like variety: different rooms, different positions, different implements. I like a spanker who teases and jokes about the proceedings, although sometimes sternness is very appealing. Ron pretty much ticks all the boxes on this list.          

I am always on the lookout for new discussion topics. If you have a question or suggestion that interests you, it's very likely that others share that interest. Please email me or leave a comment with any topic you'd like to be featured here.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #605

This week we went on a road trip to a cheese factory in the country, where we purchased bags of squeaky curd and some blocks of aged cheddar. At one time the shop also sold cheeses made elsewhere, like Danish blue and Wisconsin flavoured cheeses, but that was in the before times. Now they only sell their own cheese, plus some baked goods, jams and butter made locally.

Our topic for today came to me as I was watching a not-so-good spanking video. I thought Ron could do a much better job than the person wielding the hairbrush, and I was sure I could have wiggled and protested much more convincingly than the subject of the implement's attention.

Depending on your point of view, what characteristics do you look for in a spanker or a spankee? How would you describe your ideal spanker or spankee?

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

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for August 17

We discussed the overpowering urge to be spanked, and here is what you said:

Wendel: We were at a ComicCon last week checking out the art as well as the costumes. I especially enjoy the ladies' costumes. If the Misses caught me staring, she would smile, smack me in the shoulder and say how that one needs to be spanked. On the ride home I thought about her spanking comments and figure she really meant that I needed it. Once we got to the house, I told her I was sorry for staring and that if anyone needed a spanking it was me. I took the paddle from the pantry closet and gave it to her. The Misses told me to drop my pants and proceeded to paddle my butt until I could not sit. It was wonderful. 

Roz: I'm not sure I get to that point. If a spanking doesn't eventuate, then it doesn't. Having said that, if I'm feeling the need I often use physical signals, a bit of cheeky banter etc. I have also just simply lent over Rick's knee if we have been cozy together on the couch.

Rosco: I get spanked roughly twice a week, one of which is simply discipline and one of which is the prelude to sexual activity. If I’m itching for a spanking, all I have to do is complain or whine about something trivial, and Irene will tend to threaten me with a spanking. I’ll tell her I don’t need a spanking, which is our code for asking for one. (Our code for not spanking now is “later”. Later means later.)

These days I’ve learned to savor a spanking at bedtime or before a nap. Irene and I are pretty much in sync.

Prefectdt: How long does it take for the urge to be spanked to grow to where it is ever-present and powerful?As soon as I have physically recovered from my last spanking :) . I do not have a long term partner, so it is impossible for my feelings to be shared intimately.

Dan: The clarifying question for me would be "How long after what?" The most recent spanking? For me, that's not really relevant. I don't feel a need to be spanked simply because some time has passed since my last one. For me, it's really about whether there has been some bad behavior that I feel a need to be held accountable for. For me, it's only after something like that has happened that I feel a compelling need for a spanking. Once that's occurred, there's a fairly narrow window--three to four days, maybe a week for serious misconduct--in which that need is pretty strong. Longer than that, and the perceived need for consequences starts to taper off.

Barrel: My urge starts in about 7 to 10 days. It builds to quite a bit around two weeks, thus my email to Hermione as a prompt for this week's topic.

This time, I didn't need to say anything to my wife, my behavior did. With family staying with us, there was nothing we could do. But after they left, I got the hairbrush along with a lecture. So while I feel better, she left the hairbrush on the living room table, either as a reminder to shape up OR for easy and quick access for the next one.

A.J.: How long does it take for the urge to be spanked to grow to where it is ever-present and powerful?

No definite time. Usually, it comes with stress. Just the everyday "stuff" of life that builds and builds until you "need" something to cleanse the mind. And sometimes that 'thing' is some time spent OTK.

I remember a bad case of it a few years ago and thought that was a solution (It's not. But what the heck.) My mind said I really need one. Time and place said it's not going to happen. A month later the world was back in place.

Sad.

Hermione: At one time I used to feel the urge at least twice a week. I'd get annoyed that Ron seemed not to notice my signals. But then he would, and took matters into his own hands expertly. Nowadays, due to age and hormones or lack thereof, I don't usually have a desperate need to be spanked. If it happens, it happens, and if not, there's always tomorrow. The timing is up to Ron.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for August 10

Spanking to music? 

Norse Cavalier: In order to make sure my neighbours heard nothing, I often put on the combined works of Sabaton while entertaining a spankee who used to visit me. Not sure whether it was necessary, as the walls are quite thick, but decided not to take the chance. We also both enjoy Sabaton's music anyway.

Can't say that the music reminds me of her, though.

Barrel: I distinctly recall the back ground music from Aunt Kay's DWC website. Mesmerizing! I found a link to it a few years back but can't find it. It would be the perfect music for a seriously intense session. Might any of you know where I can find it?

A.J.: If the music is “Flight of the Bumblebee” - Run!!!

Roz: Great question Hermione! I love it.

I remember years ago posting a list of spanky songs on my blog.

We may have had music in the background during a spanking, but it would have been more incidental than deliberate. We have however had music accompany other activities on occasion 😊    

Luvinhub: Nothing necessarily during a spanking but I do have as an alarm setting John Mellencamp's song "Hurts So Good".

KDPierre: We love music here, but not for spanking. Most are punishments anyway and music hardly seems appropriate for something like that. Fun ones have their own 'music and beat'. ;-)

Prefectdt: Yes, there have been plenty of times that music has been played. Mostly to spare the blushes of those in neighbouring houses or apartments. I would like to say that classical music did the job, but I would be lying to you if I told you that, as classical music tends to have too many quiet periods. Strong Rock or Heavy Metal tends to work best for noise covering, Motorhead is highly recommended. There is also one song, that is very rarely played in real life, but nearly always gets played in my head, when I am trying to get through the pure pain part of spanking, early on before the magic starts. That is "Be My Enemy" by The Waterboys.

Wendel: Nothing really. There might be something on at the time but it is not by design. 

A.J.: No music. But I have had the TV on a bit louder than normal if the spanking is in a hotel room. But that doesn't count.

In my mind I have 3 classes of spanking.
Class 1 - A 'nice' spanking, both are enjoying. Nice pink bottoms and smiles.
Class 2 - 'A good hard spanking!' This is a spanking!! But not vicious. Bottom has moved past pink and will wind up almost-bright red. It's a 'let's clear the air, or 'maintenance', or whatever spanking.
Class 3 - You don't want a class 3!!!

Back to today's question - it's about the pace.
Class 1 - One smack per second, 60 or fewer per minute, interspersed with caresses and 'searching' (if-you-know-what-I-mean-and-I-think-you-do!)
Class 2 - It a REAL spanking so the pace is picked up! It's DOUBLED! Two smacks per second or 120 smacks a minute. And because it is faster, it is also a bit HARDER.
120 beats per minute is a marching cadence. Think - soldiers marching.
Also think - College fight songs!!

"You're due, honey! Get OTK and let's sing your alma mater's fight song!"
On Wisconsin, on Wisconsin!
Plunge right through that line
(Whack, whack, whack, whack! ....)

Works with every college fight song I can think of. Even military songs!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys,
Anchors Aweigh.
(Whack, whack, whack, whack! ....)

Fun part: The smile on the face of the spanker! And (spoiler), at 120-whacks per minute, the spanking is probably over in under 4 minutes. YMMV.

I mentioned this to a girl who didn't mind the occasional and loving otk spanking. She was a U. of Michigan alum. The thought of her otk getting spanked to that song made her laugh.  Here it is. 

This is CONSIDERABLY fasted than 120 per minutes; this is 180 per minute! The most recognized part of the fight song kicks in at the 0:52 mark.

(Note: Class 3, is double Class 2! Three to four per second or 180-240 a minute!!! My nickname for it is "The Angry Girlfriend!" Another time you might use it is at the conclusion of a Class 1 or Class 2 spanking with about 50 whacks in what I nicknamed "The Grande Finale!"  

Donn: Hi Barrel:

Yes, some of Aunt Kay's soundtracks (over the years) were very interesting.

The two most commonly used background music were:

"haveyouever1DWC.mid"; and

"DWCff3cells3.mid" (most common).

They are both available on the Internet Archive at:

web.archive.org/web/2007/www.disciplinarywivesclub.com/sounds/haveyouever1DWC.mid

web.archive.org/web/2007/www.disciplinarywivesclub.com/sounds/DWCff3cells3.mid

There is also a "library" of other music that Aunt Kay experimented with at various times, here:

web.archive.org/web/2007/www.disciplinarywivesclub.com/sounds/

Enjoy,

-- Glad to Help!

Hermione: We just leave on whatever music is playing on the laptop. However, I'm going to check out the links Donn supplied above. I'm very intrigued.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #603

Welcome, dear friends. It's lovely to see you all here again. I was just thinking how important music is in my life. At home, we have internet radio playing on our laptop most of the time, and Ron is always on the hunt for new stations. Music is the background to most of our domestic activities.

Are your spankings ever accompanied by music? Do you have a special song that reminds you of spanking?

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion at the end of the weekend.

Cane-iac Has a New Owner

Last week I received an email from Cane-iac, my go-to online shop for implements. The business has been up for sale for quite some time, but new owners Archer and Alex have taken over and they seem like a good fit. Here's the latest news.

Archer and Alex are extremely familiar with the domestic discipline / spanking community have been active in it for over 25 years.  They are gifted crafts people with a passion for wood and leather.  Archer and Alex bring a commitment to maintaining CANE-IAC’s quality and pricing philosophy while delivering great customer service.  They've loved one of our core concepts from the beginning, making spanking and kink toys accessible to the entire community for a reasonable price.  They are very quick learners and are learning how to make all of our most popular “implements” - including the Best of the Best – Rattan Canes.

CANE-IAC is moving to the beautiful state of Arizona.  The grand reopening will be September 2nd with Archer and Alex taking over on August 16th.  They are committed to keeping the store open during the transition and only expect a brief delay in shipping.  All items will be shipped from CANE-IAC's new Arizona home starting August 16th.

Right now, we are all working on making things like Rattan Canes, Spencer and assorted Wooden Paddles, Acrylic and Lexan Canes and Paddles, Rubber Items and Leather Goods.  We are committed to get CANE-IAC restocked for all your fall spanking needs.

Sadly, I cannot access the site. It's still restricted to customers from the US. Maybe once they are settled in their new location I'll be able to shop there again. Oh wait. Tariffs. So maybe not.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for August 3

This week you were asked to define a spanking.

Jack: If the spankings are foreplay I suppose you can break it down to defining. In my case foreplay is far from it, my wife/mommy considers spanking only when I've been a naughty little boy.

Bonnie: Yes, your first question aligns with my definition. If it occurs multiple times in succession, I consider those to be a series of spankings (ouch!).

Wendel: For us a series of spankings would not be switching from the hand to the paddle and then the belt. That is just the same spanking with different implements. A series of spanking would be when I spank the Misses in the morning before work and then give her another spanking in the evening after dinner. It would be when the Misses whips my butt ever night for a week. 

Roz: I agree with the definition above, a spanking is a series of swats. A series of spankings to me is where a session ends, there is a break then another spanking.     

KDPierre: Interesting question of semantics. The purist in me would agree with what seems like the consensus that one session of whacks, however given is "a spanking". However, the notion of a break muddies that definition. Let's say my wife says, "I think you need to be punished for XYZ. You are going to get a good long spanking of 600 smacks." She then gives me 300, decides her arm needs a break, and we stop for a few minutes, walk around maybe even have some water, and then go back and finish the second half. Is that one spanking with a break in between or two?

Let's take that further with something that has happened here often enough. I am sentenced to a punishment spanking of 1000 or more smacks. Even the person issuing this knows they can't be done in one go. Then, instead of a 10 minute break, a part of the overall thousand is done the next day, or even two days later, and then the next installment a day after that. Is that one spanking in several installments, or one punishment of multiple spankings?

Here's one more. I am sentenced to a punishment spanking for something that my wife is very angry about. She gives me the spanking that she declared but upon completing it feels more punishment is needed and gives me another sometime later. I would say THAT is one 'punishment' consisting of two separate spankings, but is it? ;-)

Ain't werdz phunn? ;-)

Prefectdt: My congratulations to Rosco for coming up with such an interesting question. Before I read this question, I used to consider the whole time that I was playing with someone else as a spanking. Since reading this question, I have been thinking. As play with a fellow amateur spanking enthusiast can take place over several hours, it would be impossible to continuously spank for such a period of time. So now am thinking that scenario would be better described as a series of spankings within a period of spanking play. The best questions are ones that make you think and challenge your own, perceived conceptions.

FL: This is more a linguistics question than a spanking one.
I would define a spanking as a series of spanks given in a single position, with no significant break in the delivery. The spanker may pause very briefly to change instruments but the spankee remains in the same pose throughout. Changing position - regardless of how quickly the spanks resume - signals the start of a new spanking and what had been A spanking is now a SERIES of spankings. Lucky duck.

Rosco: Thanks to Hermione for posting this question.

I get a spanking, often at bedtime, a few days a week. Irene will usually switch between her favored implements, but if it only takes a few seconds I don’t think of it as a separate spanking.

Our “dates” usually involve 2 or more spankings, between 10 minutes and up to a hour apart, along with bondage and other discipline, followed by more traditional sexual activities. Last time I think it was 5 spankings for which I don’t have the right word.

Hermione: For us, a spanking is completed in a single session, with changes of implement but no real pauses. If another spanking happened after several minutes or hours, it would be a separate spanking or one of a series depending on the length of time between.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #602

My goodness! The week went fast for us, and I'm glad for the chance to relax with you. Our good friend Rosco submitted this question around defining a spanking:

Do you define a spanking as a series of whacks on the bottom with a hand, paddle or other implement? If so, is there a word for a series of spankings with breaks in between? Do you and your partner typically engage in a single spanking as defined above, or in a series of spankings?

Please leave your reply as a comment, and I will publish the results of our discussion when the weekend is over.
