Spanko Brunch 2.0 #341

We've discussed this topic before, but My readership has changed a lot in the last few years, so I thought it might be fun to revisit the topic of fetishes. An interesting article in Glamour magazine describes it this way:

"The simplest way to define fetishes according to sexologists: usually nonsexual things that ignite sexual feelings in a person.... You can have a fetish for a thing (perhaps being attracted to feet), or a place (as in having sex in public); you can even have a fetish for a texture, such as latex.

"To be considered a true fetish, the object or act must be a part of a sex act for you to get turned on. If you enjoy the occasional or even regular spanking, for example, that doesn’t mean you have a spanking fetish—people with a true spanking fetish need that act of domination to get off."


What about you?

Do you consider your interest in spanking a fetish? Is spanking/being spanked, watching spanking videos or reading spanking erotica an essential part of your sexual makeup?

As always, you may remain anonymous. Please feel free to express your opinion in the comments section below. I will publish an edited summary of our discussion once everyone has had a chance to speak.

Best Bum Competition

The Yorkshire Museum launched a worldwide battle between curators on June 26 to see which museum has the very best behind in its collection. The Yorkshire Museum started the challenge off with a photo of a Roman marble statuette of an athlete who has a chunk missing from his bum.


Museums from all over the world have taken part, and here are six of the best ones.



















Yummy! Are the museums open where you live?

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for July 19

Have you ever used a mask to enhance your spanking?

Roz: We have never experimented with wearing a mask during a spanking. We have used various scarves etc as blindfolds on occasion. It definitely heightens the other senses and overall experience.

Bonnie: I really had to scour the memory banks for this answer. I couldn't remember doing so and a search of my blog reveals no such instances. So I asked Randy. He has a great memory. He claims I did wear a mask when he first started videotaping (yes, on VHS tape!) our spankings. I was nervous that my face might be revealed somehow. That didn't happen and the mask was quickly forgotten, at least by me.

Barrel: We have never worn or experimented with masks. However, the masks worn in The Story of O are quite scintillating. Our sessions usually have enough goings on that one more might be too much. An interesting thought...you never know.

The owl mask in The Story of O was exquisite.

KDPierre: Do piggy noses and ears count?

Prefectdt: Kdpierre OMG yes :)

I have worn a few different goggles, with the eyepieces painted over, as blindfolds. I often wondered how I looked in these. I will have to ask for a picture, if this ever happens again :)

There have been lots of fantasies about being spanked by a masked highway woman but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity to act these out.

Ronnie: No masks but have used blindfolds on occasion.

Hermione: I haven't either, although I was once in a children's play and wore a full head fox mask. Luckily, I had no lines to say as they would have been muffled by the mask.

Thank you all for unmasking your desires!

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #340

It goes without saying that masks are a hot topic right now, so let's explore it a little more. There are so many different kinds of masks: the masks that cover the nose and mouth, masks that cover only the area around the eyes, and full-face masks.

Have you ever experimented with wearing a mask during a spanking? What kind of mask did you wear? What was the effect? Is it something you would recommend?

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

Friday FAIL

On March 12, our schools closed. Well, officially March break was extended by two weeks, but they never reopened. By March 15 everything was shut down and we were self-isolating. People were going mad, hoarding hand sanitizer and toilet paper. We had plenty of the former, but were afraid we might run out of the latter. I tried the Walmart website and found a good deal: 12 rolls for $15. I ordered two, to be delivered. (The shipping fee was waived for some reason.) Two months later, it  hadn't arrived. Our stores were now well-stocked with the essential rolls, but where was my order? I checked the tracking and all I saw was a series of entries written in Chinese. My rolls were probably in a shipping container somewhere in the world. I didn't think they would ever arrive.

Yesterday I found a small parcel in the mailbox. It was my long-awaited order, but WTF? The two packages together were about the size of a loaf of bread. Each individual roll was about the size of a weiner roll, to continue with the bread analogy. Here's how it compares to our usual triple roll.

It's soft enough, and quite strong too, so we'll use it up, or maybe save one package for the next crisis.

Here are some more products that aren't quite right.


































Happy Friday!

From the Top Shelf - A Chance Meeting

Once again I have raided Rollin Hand's blog for a good story, so I will let him introduce it.

"Here is a story I found gathering dust on the hard drive. I don’t know who “Professor Steven” is, but I was attracted to the story because it recounts one of those once-in-a-lifetime chance encounters we all dream about. Does stuff like this happen? Yeah, it does, actually. People talk to each other in hotel bars or are thrown together by circumstance. A few drinks, a little flirting, a few more drinks, some hormones kick in. Next thing you know…well, you know.

What would be rare is the chance meeting of two spankophiles. What are the odds?"


A Chance Meeting by Professor Steven

I am a graphic arts consultant mainly dealing with computer graphics, typesetting etc. for the printing and publishing trades. I have clients mostly based here in Nevada but I also have a few that require my services in So. Cal. and I need to go there about 6 times a year.

Last winter was one of those times. I’ve serviced a client now for about 4 years and they had recently hired part time gal, Grace, to assemble their technical manuals. I spent 2 days with Grace whom I would guess to be in her late forties. She is a school teacher from the Midwest who moved to San Diego after a divorce from her husband. Having to support herself, she went back to school and learned how to set type. Grace was an attractive woman. Her figure was striking and well maintained. Of particular interest to me was her derriere, which was ample but shapely, two rounded globes that quite nicely filled out the rear end of her tight skirts. Though dyed now, her natural hair color was red and she wore it shoulder length.

At the end of the second day of training she invited me to a drink at the lounge of the hotel where I was staying. Though we got to know each other rather well during the training we “really” got to know each other that evening.

We had a few drinks, and although we never got drunk, our conversation became very open with the help of the alcohol. We started talking about her career as a school teacher back in Indiana, particularly during the sixties and seventies.

Our conversation turned to the discipline back then and she told me that in her younger days she could swing a pretty mean paddle.... Being the spankophile that I am, I provoked the conversation further....

I asked her if she herself had ever been spanked or paddled and she admitted that a bare bottom spanking was part of her weekly diet up until the time she went off to college. Usually at the mercy of her mother’s hairbrush (she made it a point to tell me she still had her mother’s hairbrush) but a few times at the hand of her brother who was 2 years her senior. (Her father had long since deserted them)

In college she joined a sorority where freshmen and sophomores were frequently subjected to bare bottom paddlings by the members, not only during hell week but anytime a sorority rule was broken. She said that there were a lot of rules and a “court” was held on Sunday afternoons. A charge could only be brought against you by any upper classmate and if the court ruled in her favor you would be paddled in the presence of the entire house by your assigned Senior advisor. Juniors were also subject to the same but the occurrence was infrequent. In the case of a senior being found guilty of an infraction a private paddling was administered by the Sergeant at Arms. What I’d give to have been a fly on the wall of that sorority house on Sunday afternoons back then.

Anyway, the conversation continued to excite me and I could tell it was exciting her also. I pressed further asking if she had ever been spanked as an adult.

Her eyes lit up and she said, “Oh you better believe it!”

She proceeded to tell me how she and her first husband, who was killed in Viet Nam, used to play spanking games as a prelude to sex. She said that at school she ruled the class with a wooden paddle, but at home she liked to take on a submissive role with her husband acting as her father.

I asked about her second husband and she said that they tried it a few times but he just couldn’t find an interest in it.

I then let on that I am very interested in the spanking scene. I told her that I wrote stories and collected pics and such from the internet. I also told her that I had spanked the bottoms, usually bare, of a number of willing women. Her interest in me was changing now and I could see the excitement and prospect growing.

I asked her if she missed it and she blushed and told me that indeed she did. I asked if she now fantasized about it and again with a blush she admitted so. She also offered that she too spent a considerable amount of time surfing the spanking sites on the internet.

Finally, with all the courage I could muster asked her flatly, “Would you like to be spanked now?”

Again she blushed and I could tell I had her.

She said, sort of assuming a submissive attitude, “But I haven’t done anything wrong.”

“I think that if you concentrate for just a moment I’m sure there’s something you’ve done that deserved a spanking but didn’t get one. Think now. It’s been a long time since your last spanking.”

She thought for a minute or two but it seemed like hours. I just stared at her waiting an answer. She fidgeted in her chair and finally said, “Well there was one time…a long time ago. I think I was about 23 or 24. I had just graduated college and was living at home for the summer until my teaching job would start in the fall. Having graduated with honors and 23 years old I became quite big for my britches and literally, by today’s standards, was a high strung bitch. I mouthed off to my mother one day, one time too many, and in lieu of the threat of being kicked out on my own and for the first time in seven years found myself bare-bottomed across her lap.”

She paused, though the story had my interest I interjected, “But you’ve been punished for that… What have you done that you got away with?”

“I’m getting to it,” she said. “She really blistered me with the hairbrush… 15 swats – and that was after an uncountable number with her hand – far worse than any sorority sister had ever done… and then to top it off she grounded me for three weeks. I had to be in by nine every night and was promised another spanking if I wasn’t or if I sassed her ever again.” Again she paused but continued, “I had a big 4th of July party to go to that I didn’t want to miss and even though I begged to go and even offered my bottom for another spanking instead, she stood her ground and forbid me to be out past nine. Well the 3rd of July came and my mother got a call from my aunt in Phoenix and had to go there due to some kind of family problems. Before she left she warned me that I had better not be out past nine but she was going to trust me that I would abide by her word. If she found out I wasn’t home on time I could expect twice the spanking I got the other day, and I would be grounded the rest of the summer.”

Her story was getting long but added to the anticipation of the moment so I just listened.

“Well I took my chances. I really wanted to go to the party and I knew the best of the party would be long past nine. I called my two girlfriends and blatantly lied to them telling them I had a reprieve for the party. We went to the party and nine o’clock came and went without a thought. There was beer at the party and I even though I made it through college with never getting drunk I overindulged and spent quite some time in the bathroom that night. My mother didn’t really ever tell us not to drink socially but did say that a woman should never get drunk and should never make a spectacle of herself by being drunk in public. Well, there was two more of her rules I broke because from what my friends told me – I was the life of the party. The next day I had quite a hangover and spent most of the day in bed. My mother called and asked why I sounded like I just woke up and asked where I had been the night before and told me she called at 10:30 and didn’t get an answer. I lied to her and told her that I got very ill last night and went to bed early. She asked me if I was sure I hadn’t been at that party? I told her that I had been too sick to go. She seemed to accept and trust my answer as she’s never mentioned it again.”

Grace sat silent looking at me like a scolded child as she knew the wheels were in motion. I simply stood up and offered her my hand. “I’m very disappointed in you, young lady. I think it’s time to go.”

I led her out of the lounge and to the elevator and then to my suite saying nothing. She followed willingly knowing she was about to have her first spanking in several years. We were silent until we got in the room. I asked her if she wanted to freshen up and she did and went into the bathroom. I sat on the sofa and awaited her return.

When she came out she came up and stood in front of me. I patted my thigh and asked her to sit. Upon my lap, I began to scold her. “Lying! Drinking! Out past curfew! Not the behavior for a proper young lady is it?”

She shook her head in agreement.

“More the actions of a bad girl. Don’t you think?”

Again she shook her head. “Yes sir.”

I asked her, “And what happens to bad girls when they misbehave?”

Grace dropped her head and pouted her lips. “I’m sure they get a spanking.”

“So don’t you think you deserve to get a spanking?”

Shaking her head in agreement, she replied. “But it was so long ago.”

“Nevertheless, you earned a spanking then that you never got. You still deserve it now. Don’t you?”

She just shook her head again and said quietly, “I guess so.”

“Do you have your hairbrush with you?” I asked stretching my luck as I hadn’t come prepared to spank anyone.

To my amazement she replied, “Yes, it’s in my purse.”

“Go and bring it to me.”

She scampered off my lap and retrieved the hairbrush from her purse. It was in remarkable condition for its age. I would have to guess it at least fifty or sixty years old. It was solid wood, oval, and had a shiny black lacquer finish. The handle had the “FB” logo gold stamped into the leather wrapped handle. I could only guess it stood for Fuller Brush. She mentioned, as I looked it over, that she had it re-bristled once about ten years ago.

I set the brush aside and patted my thigh. “Across my lap, young lady!”

Obediently, she complied. She was wearing a women’s business suit and she took off her vest and hiked up her skirt to get across my lap. I noticed she had taken off her pantyhose while in the bathroom which indicated to me that she expected (or was hoping) her skirt would be lifted.

Gambling on my hunch, I said, “Lying! Drinking! Curfew! Very naughty, naughty girl.” I lifted her skirt revealing her white cotton panties. Getting no resistance so far I gambled further and began pulling her panties down as I said, “All too serious offenses to let these come between you and a sound spanking.” What luck – not a peep. In fact, she raised her hips to allow me to slide her panties to her knees easily.

I spanked her first with my hand some 10 or 12 minutes until her bottom took on an even pink glow. At that point I made her stand and I removed her skirt but left her panties at her knees. I now knew that she was a true redhead. With her blouse held above her waist I led her to the corner where she stood for 5 minutes while I admired her pink globes. Five minutes isn’t that long but it seemed like it as we both knew the hairbrush was yet to come. She stood perfectly still – face to the corner, hands folded neatly in front and elbows tight to her sides to keep her blouse from falling.

I picked up the hairbrush. “How many did your mother give you?” I asked.

She replied, “Fifteen.”

“And how many did she warn you that you would get if you disobeyed?”

“Twice that – thirty.”

“And that was just for breaking curfew! There’s still the matter of lying and drinking!”

“Yes sir,” she replied.

“Well let’s have you back over here. We’ve a long way to go.”

Grace scampered back over my lap and waited anxiously for the touch of the brush. She shivered slightly when I placed the cool flat surface on her warm pink butt.

“You’ll count these.” I said as I began to spank. I started rather mildly at first but occasionally landing a good swat to test her endurance. As the paddling progressed and her ass grew red she became able to handle quite a hard swat. Grace counted each and every swat accurately and bravely held up the entire 30 swats. Her butt had become very red and I could tell she wasn’t far from her threshold.

“Do you think an additional 15 for lying and 15 more for drinking is fair?” I asked.

“Yes sir,” she replied.

“But first I want you to stand and remove your blouse and bra but leave your panties where they are.

“Yes sir,” she said. She did so and in crawling back across my lap asked, “Should I count again?”

“That’s a good idea. I wouldn’t want you to get any more that you deserve.”

The brush began to fly up and down again. Slowly and steadily in rhythm making each swat count. Occasional “yelps” and “oooh’s” emitted her lips between the counts. Again though she braved each swat and even welcomed the next by raising her hips to await it’s sting. Reaching thirty again, making 60 swats in all, Grace was beside herself. She couldn’t hide her excitement.

I let her from my lap and was leading her to the corner again when she stopped, turned and gave me a big heavy hug. She whispered in my ear, “The corner can wait.” Then I felt her hands go to my belt. In a flash, I was naked too except for a condom stretched tight on my manhood. Grace was on her knees at my feet.

The rest is for the imagination but I’ll leave you with this. Grace got one more spanking later (much later) that night. She was late for work the next day and I just barely made my flight out the next morning.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for July 12

What sort of footwear do you prefer? Does it enhance your spanking experience?

Roz: My answer is a boring one sorry. Footwear has never really featured in our spankings. More often than not I'm not wearing any at the time.

QBuzz: I find that spanking (or any kind of intimate play) is only made more titillating if the lady involved is wearing high heels... and my partner is happy to oblige :D

During our relationship she has also developed quite the fetish for me wearing smart shoes and dress socks/sock garters during spanking - with or without the accompanying smart suits etc...

Bernie: Your question resurrects a fantasy of mine. I'd like to be spanked while wearing my cowboy boots with pressed jeans and underpants down around my ankles. A souvenir pic or two would also be great. Thanks for the great question.

KDPierre: Heavens no! Bare feet for both parties. Not only does it allow for some post-spanking toe-smooches, but it lets those tired doggies breathe! ;-)

Minelle: I’m usually barefoot. I suppose I may try heels next time and see if he enjoys them.

Anon: I remember once using her slippers, boy did she complain afterwards, said her bottom had never been so sore. I now use one of her slippers.

Rosco: I’m the one who gets spanked, and I never wear any shoes or socks. It just diminishes the experience for me.

Irene dresses up in many ways, often changing her clothes several times during these activities, but only sometimes wears shoes.

When we were first together she had a pair of reddish brown leather boots which I loved. I was nervous, but I asked her if she would wear them in bed. Of course, she said, if you would like it. How wonderful it was for me thank she embraced my (relatively minor) kink.

But Irene has bunions, so no longer has many shoes that are at all sexy. So shoes in the bedroom are mostly a thing of the past.

Wendel: We are too busy concentrating on each other's bare bottom to notice footwear. I did spank the Misses once with her slipper but did not find it effective enough.

DaddyCat: As an ex-shoe salesman, I have to admit to a shoe fetish. I love the way high heels accentuate a woman's legs. From a scene perspective, when I hosted spanking parties, women and men often dressed to impress and the sight of a woman otk, her pump-encased feet dangling in mid air, was and is still very intoxicating.

I am very lucky that my play partners willingly indulge my love of heels as much as they indulge my love of sheer pale blue panties on their delicious bottoms.

Bonnie: No, but yes. Shoes are not a primary feature of our spanking adventures, but they sometimes enter into the festivities as part of a role play. For example, a naughty cheerleader probably wears sneakers. A misbehaving secretary might wear pumps. I've been spanked with my own slipper more than once. More often, though, I'll wear just footies or socks or nothing on my feet, but when shoes aid the cause, then I will wear shoes.

Prefectdt: I never ask a spanker to wear any particular kind of shoes. Although I can appreciate that a pair of heels can add to the dynamic of a female power outfit, I do prefer the freedom of movement that more comfortable footwear affords an administrator. The best is when a top starts off in a pair of heels and then, when I have been positioned, I hear clunk clunk as the heels come off and I know that she can take a run up, if she so desires. That is the best of both worlds :) Myself I am usually in trainers or bare foot but on the odd occasion that I am asked to dress for the occasion I do enjoy donning a highly polished pair of black, men's formal shoes. It makes a nice change.

Rosco again: I forgot to mention that before we were dating we were flirting quite a bit for almost a year (our boss was her boyfriend but it never seemed to be serious for her - long story).

Irene was wearing a pair of wooden clogs. I picked her up and turned her upside down. She screamed and accidentally kicked me in the face and split my face open with her wooden shoe. Irene felt bad of course, but I admitted it was my fault.

We flirted on and off for 6 months of so after then, when Irene and the boss guy were broken up, I made my move. The boss guy decided that he wanted her back and it got unpleasant. I quit immediately (did not need the money) but she stayed a little longer as she did need the income - never an ounce of worry on my part since Irene was clearly glad to be rid of him.

This was 40 years ago. My first spanking took place not long after we got together.

I don't think getting kicked in the face with the wooden clog is what brought us together, but you never know.

Hermione: Ron usually has something to say about my choice of socks. I like stripes and patterns, so I wear some that will annoy him and make him spank with more enthusiasm.

Stay safe, everyone, and wear your mask.
