Spanko Brunch 2.0 #599

 

Welcome back to another weekend spanko brunch. As you can see, this is brunch number 599, so next week will be a major milestone. I'd like it to be really special, so I'm throwing the floor open to suggestions. What topic would make next week's discussion memorable?

Now on to today's discussion.

What are your thoughts on submission? Is it an important part of your spanking relationship? Is it necessary to hand over control to the spanker in order for a spanking to work? Is asking for permission a part of your dynamic?

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

Mystery Solved

Two years ago I published this post about a mystery plant that was supposed to be the herb rosemary but certainly wasn't. The following spring I forgot where I put them misplaced the remaining seeds so they remained a mystery for another year. This spring I finally came across them, so I planted them along with my other spring crops and waited. Last week the first blossom opened, and guess what they are?


 

Cosmos! A lovely flower, and easy to grow. Ron had guessed that's what they were, because we had some growing in the garden that year. The bees and butterflies will love them, and there are enough seeds left for next year. So all's well that ends well.

Oh, and our potted rosemary is still thriving.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for July 6

Any exercise enthusiasts out there?

Wendel: We do walking and hiking for cardio. A little bit of weight training for strength when swing the paddle and of course, a lot of spanking. 

Roz: That's a great question but I'm afraid my answer is a boring one. No specific exercises to keep in shape for spanking. Exercise is by doing 😊

Prefectdt: I am  constantly trying to keep my "Dad" belly (even though I have never been a father) under control. So dieting is a frequent element of my life, as the smaller I can keep the gut bump, the more comfortable it is to spend extended periods of time bent over laps/desks/benches etc. I used to do a lot of walking to keep fit, but on doctors' advice, I switched to regular cycling at the weekends. If I am going long periods between real spankings, I self spank, not for fun but just to keep the pain tolerance levels up. Other than that, I moisturise my buttocks and upper thighs on a daily basis, even if no spanking has happened for a while.  

Rosco: Well, I try to keep in shape for cardiovascular health and flexibility in general - an ongoing challenge in both areas.

As for spanking, I’ve noticed whenever I’ve lost a few pounds the initial sting is a bit more profound.

Ronnie: We don’t do any specific exercises for spanking. We both like to keep as fit as possible and we do tend to walk a lot. 

Jack: Never crossed my mind or my wife/mommy. Interesting question. Off hand is there a need and what is the advantage?

S: In general, I try to do full body workouts, but I have to admit, I do like doing bicep curls right before giving someone a spanking.

Bonnie: My natural spanking shape is a pear, so there's not that much maintenance required. I do work out and walk when I can for general health. Randy builds his right arm strength by repetitively swinging flat wooden objects.

Hermione: By sitting and playing video games, I keep my tush nice and big as an available target. Ron does yard work to keep his arms in condition.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #598

Welcome, everyone, to our weekly discussion of all things spanking. Today's question was posed by our good friend S. I like it because it applies to both spankers and spankees.

Do you or your partner do anything specific, like exercise, to keep in spanking shape?

Please leave your response as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion on Monday.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for June 29

Describe the perfect spankable bottom.

Merk: I'm usually on the receiving end so I'll say "mine"! In terms of other bottoms, I very much like all bottoms but all things being equal I do like fit bodies and bottoms. 

CEM: Booty. Female. In shape. End of my contribution. 😁
Nah, her intellect, attitude, ethics, honesty, integrity, personality and a myriad of other factors matter as much or more than just the physical attributes. Obviously there has to be a physical attraction, but just a nice posterior is not enough to make me fire up the "penis or paddle", the total package makes or breaks my interest in a woman. A gorgeous woman with a great ass that is nefarious, selfish, shallow, vapid, vacuous, greedy, self serving, dimwitted, arrogant, cruel or perfidious will not be given the time of day to by me, much less anything else. Having said that...
Booty. Female. In shape. End of my contribution. 😁 

Roz: Happy Birthday S! Great question! I would say medium size (neither small or large) well defined and toned without being too firm.

S: Thank you for the birthday wishes. In response to the topic today, I must admit I like all kinds of female bottoms. Prior to getting married, the important thing for me was that she was enjoying the attention that she was receiving to her hiney. I was never one to pass up giving a woman a well deserved spanking if she was willing.

Rosco: Well two answers. First, mine is perfect.

Second, if I were spanking a naughty woman or girl, I’d prefer a somewhat fleshy or athletic bottom. It would seem weird to spank a skinny bottom. I only had one girlfriend who was truly large - that would be interesting with a lot of ground to cover.

Still her attitude would be more important that the shape or size of her bottom.

Prefectdt: The answer is simple, MINE! MINE! MINE. Nothing to do with how it looks, it is just that the owner enjoys getting it spanked so much. As for the male posterior, I do not know. I have never been able to tell what makes any part of any man attractive to those who prefer males. As For the female posterior, I do think that a bubble butt is very nice, although I have seen many flatter rear ends that are very attractive too, but that nicer wobble, when struck is very pleasing, from a bit of a sticky out bottom.

Anon: Enthusiastic! I prefer fit, firm ladies. That said, attitude and other attributes are more important. I don't like obese, and I'm not comfortable smacking a bottom that is to thin -- too afraid of causing damage. Finally, like some others above, I'm usually on the receiving end, and the feedback has very fortunately been positive. :-)

KDPierre: This may sound terrible but I can get very turned off by a 'chicken butt'. (wide at the hip/narrow on the bottom) I realize having one does not make a woman a bad person or whatever, but it's a preference I have found it very hard to shake. Ideally, I prefer a female butt with some curve, slope, jut, and meat to it. But it's overall size is not as important as having a sloped shape of narrow and the top and curvy on the bottom......like a heart turned upside done.

Hermione: I think a plump, curvy bottom (like mine) is perfect for smacking.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #597

This is a very special brunch because we are celebrating the birthday of a regular attendee and dedicated spanko. He goes by his first initial "S", and we are in regular communication via email. As you can see from the image above, he is a very talented paddle craftsman. Happy birthday S!

Now on to our discussion. We spankophiles come in all shapes and sizes, and so do our bottoms. This week I invite you to consider that part of the anatomy that invites so much attention.

What do you consider to be the perfect spankable bottom? Is it large, small, or somewhere in between? Wide or narrow? Jiggly and soft, or firm and well-toned from the gym? Round as a bubble or flat as a pancake?

There are no right or wrong answers here. I want to hear your own personal opinion. If you have never joined in before, you are most welcome to do so today. Please leave your response as a comment, and I will publish a summary of our discussion on Monday.
