A Little Laugh

Let's visit Montreal and watch the latest gags. I watch an episode of Just for Laughs Gags every day after lunch. Butts seem to be a favourite topic with this troupe.


Guess what, chicken butt!

I hope these made you smile.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for March 12

Do you have a special pillow for aftercare? 

Roz: I'm afraid my answer is a boring one, no pillow here. I Like the feel of the after burn :)

Sore is More: No pillows for Izzie. If she is still squirmish, Nick prefers for her to sit on his lap. For that reason he tends to skip her thighs, so she can comfortably sit on his lap. What a gentleman!

Prefectdt: The day after, when the blues set in, my favourite seat is the saddle on my bicycle. I know that it is a bit counterintuitive, but the soreness and discomfort of a bike ride helps me get into a better mood. A Spankee's equivalent of "Hair of the dog".

Jack: My wife read this and laughed. I stand for at least fifteen minutes or so in the corner, sometimes longer. My wife wants to ensure I have learned my lesson, so no padding for the chair. Try going out after a spanking and sitting on a hard chair or going to church sitting on the pews.

Wendel: Never really gave it much thought. Nothing special here. Sometimes the corner is used but mostly we just go about our daily routines. The Misses works out of the house so the times I spank her before working she will add a pillow to her seat. 

Bonnie: I have a couple of spanking relief pillows that I’ve collected over the years. Randy disapproves, so I mostly save them for occasions when he is away or otherwise occupied. There’s no need to invite more of the same when I’m already well paddled.

My ideal sore seat sitting pillow is soft and fluffy, that is, it compresses a lot when used. This reduces the pressure on the punished region. The casing should be smooth. I can feel a rough, coarse surface through a thin skirt and it’s not pleasant. Finally, the pillow should be the right size and shape to fit the spanked portion of the owner’s bottom.

I think it would be fun to have such a pillow with a clever embroidered saying such as “For the Seat of Learning,” or “Because I Got Spanked Again.” Here’s a fun product idea for all you Etsy entrepreneurs!

Update: A quick check reveals that I am not the first with the idea of selling a spanking pillow on Etsy.

Rosco: I don't think a pillow would help much. For me, a sore bottom sets in 24-48 hours after punishment, not immediately.

A sore bottom goes away pretty quickly. I've tweaked my neck and back a few times, which has lasted a lot longer.

Barrel: Nope. My comfort comes from the TLC we share when she is done thrashing me. And I cherish the long term remnants as badges of honor. 

Hermione: I used to feel discomfort after a spanking, but my bottom has toughened up and I no longer feel a burn for more than a few minutes. I usually sit on a soft sofa afterwards, no hard chair until dinnertime.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #478

Well, I sure learned a lot about slippering. I highly recommend Abel's story Marrakech. It's one of my favourites.

Now on to today's topic from our dear friend Bonnie.

Spankees, do you have a favorite chair pillow that you sit on during those certain times? If so, please describe it.

When you get a chance, please leave your response as a comment. Once everyone has had a chance to speak I will publish an edited summary of our conversation.

Thoughts on Slippering

Lately I've been keeping up with the latest stories on Over the Desk, and it's amazing how many of them feature slippering as the form of punishment meted out to naughty girls. I've never been slippered, nor have I ever witnessed one (although I'm sure Youtube can fill in that blank for me), so I struggle to imagine the implement used, and how it's handled. 

Most descriptions are of a man's "plimsoll" that we call a sneaker.

This looks rather difficult to hold. (I assume you are supposed to hold on at the heel end.) Let's try another style.

 

This is probably closer to what is intended, but so eye-catching I would probably be distracted and want to try it on and order a pair for myself. But why is it called "slippering"? When I hear "slipper" I think of this:



Way too cute to use for discipline.


Much better. I can see this being used in a very effective slippering.

Or this: 



But then it would be called "sandalling".



Or this, if you've been really naughty.

Hands up all those who enjoy a good slippering!

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for March 5

What a wonderful brunch we had to celebrate my birthday and my blog's 15th anniversary. We discussed whether spankers give spankees what they expect, or something different.

Wendel: After years of practice, I know what the Misses likes and dislikes. As I said last week, it is a spanking, so it is going to hurt but for us a spanking has to be fun as well. Too much pain takes away from the excitement and arousal. After a spanking or whipping the Misses will be sore, she will complain and maybe even have a tear but the smile shines through. When I see that beautiful smile, I know I got it right. 

Roz: I can't answer for Rick, but I think he would say the same as Wendel, after all this time he knows what I like, my limits etc. He dies like to push them though kn occasion 

Barrel: As I am not the spanker, I can’t answer either. But my wife knows what she likes and she always gets that far. I almost always want more. When we have a heavy session, she goes a little beyond what she thinks is severe, then ask questions to guide her how much further to go. She will usually go further but will stop when she thinks I wouldn’t benefit from more. 

KDPierre: Nearly all of the spankers in my past and present life tend(ed) towards indulging their personal spanking POV based on what the spanking was for and other circumstances. But while I know some did this confidently from the start, several needed a kind of 'green light' from me to feel comfortable cutting loose. In consensual spanking of ANY kind, between people who know and care about each other, either as friends or partners, no one ever seems to want to drive a willing spankee away by being unreasonable.

Even my punishment spankings still exist in a real world where care must be taken to avoid something way more serious than a sore bottom. For me this is usually a scary elevated heart rate due to too much pain too fast to process. So pace is probably the only thing I can "control" with feedback. I mean who wants EMT showing up asking questions as to what may have prompted a coronary? LOL If I'm being punished and my disciplinarian spanks too fast, my heart will race and I will have trouble breathing. If I inform my spankers of this, they will slow things down, but with the caveat that I'm still going to get the full amount and with the severity they deem appropriate AND that's what I feel they SHOULD do too.

Other than that. my wife in particular knows exactly how to tailor her technique to the situation, which means, if the goal is to make things unpleasant rather than enjoyable, she will adjust what she does to make sure I'm not enjoying any of it from start to finish. If we're playing, she will still do this to a degree because she knows I tend to prefer "unenjoyable in the moment" spankings, but there are plenty of times where she'll make the play experience a subby dream. LOL 

Rich Person: A little of both. I think it is important for the receiver to get value from the spanking. That may be pleasure, pain, discipline, or other things.

But if what I give them isn't challenging, in some way, they aren't going to get value from it. It really has to engage their mind and their emotions. It may even have a spiritual component.

Ideally, they will be thinking about it both before and after the main event. I think the spanking should be good for the spanker, but the main point is for it to benefit the person spanked. 

Prefectdt: I am happy to switch, but I do not count myself as an actual switch and do not seek to spank anyone. It must be nearly two decades ago, since I Topped on someone. In that type of situation, I rely heavily on negotiation, to give the recipient the type of spanking that they want, rather than just giving them the type of spanking that I like to receive. The only pleasure that I get from spanking someone is a sense of achievement, in getting a spankee into the headspace that they want to be in. I get no other pleasure from giving a spanking. I have been complimented on my scoldings, though.

Brett: I'm a believer in the spanking being unpleasant if it's about discipline and that's the kind of spanking my partner wants. If she wants to be pushed to find her limits, I'll like that to a point, but I'm not a very good sadist.

Hermione: Ron knows what works for me and what doesn't, but he often includes an implement that he knows I don't like, just to keep me on my toes.

JJ Rose: If I'm giving a non-disciplinary spanking, then ultimately it's my job as the top to tailor it to what the bottom wants. Usually (in my experience) they want it to be more than they thought they could take, so we get to the point where they "don't like it" (but they really do).

However, I also get fulfillment from disciplining someone, from teaching them and correcting them, so when I'm doing that, I do what I feel they deserve, regardless of what they think they want.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #477

It's time to turn the tables. Last week we discussed our feelings about receiving spankings that are not what we imagined. Now KDPierre suggests that we look at things from the spanker's point of view. 

Do you try to tailor your spanking to what you know your partner enjoys or gets off on, and take pleasure in delivering it, or are you a believer in the spanking being unpleasant and tailor your technique to challenging your partner?

Please leave your response as a comment. Once everyone has had a chance to speak I will publish an edited summary of our conversation.

First of March Fun

To usher in a new month with the promise of springtime, here are a few more clever pictures and cartoons to make you smile. I need a reason to smile at the moment. I took a tumble this morning when I went out with the dogs. An icy patch that I didn't see had formed right outside the back door. Luckily for me, I landed on my bum, so it wasn't all bad!

 










Rabbit!
