Spanko Brunch 2.0 #505


It's the weekend, and that means it's time for another spanking-themed brunch. I always welcome topic suggestions from my readers, and our dear friend Bonnie has come up with several or me to choose from. Here's one that I especially like:

What spanking pace do you prefer, slow and measured or fast and unrestrained?  Why?

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

Ask Reddit

I confess, I'm a Redditor - a user and big fan of Reddit - and drop in daily to read a few of my favourite subReddits. I hadn't heard of r/AskReddit but Bonnie sent me a link to a fun topic. The question was "What really sucked as a kid, but is fucking awesome as an adult. Guess what? "Getting spanked" got 8.4k votes. Right on!

There were a few other mentions of spanking here and there, and this was the best one:

This was way back, but I saw Steve Allen as a guest on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson hosting and they were just a couple of dirty old men joking around:

Johnny: "I'm guessing you were the class clown back in your school?"

Steve: "Yes, but the problem was that I went to a Catholic school, and when you're a boy, being spanked by nuns every day isn't fun.

Johnny: "Yeah, but now you'd pay a lot of money for that."

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 10

What vanilla services could have spankings associated with them?

Sir RC: I would like spanking vicars (female), someone you can turn to when feeling guilty, depressed or just downhearted, perhaps in need of motivation.

Roz: I wouldn't mind train staff spanking unruly passengers. Perhaps an incentive to be better behaved as it would be public. 

Anon 1: Had a female primary care doc many years ago that I'm sure would have loved to have a...um...little talk with me outside of office.

Wendel: Cashiers at the grocery store should be allowed to paddle customers that have more than 15 items in the express check out or unruly customers. “Clean up isle 9, Paddling isle 6”.

Bonnie: For me, the spanking would need to be a reward. Otherwise, I would be inclined to sabotage the effort just to get the spanking. I can picture myself happily bending over for punishment at the weight loss center after a week on the ice cream diet. Nope. Wouldn't work.

Anon 2: Little humor Hofbrauhaus in Vegas they got no qualms about paddling naughty big boys and girls if you ask.

S: Thank you for using my question this week. I am really interested in what everyone will write as their answers.  

For me since I workout at home, I would love to have an attractive female personal trainer make random visits to my house while I am working out to correct my form and provide additional motivation with a paddle. Also it would be great to get feedback on my diet in the way of additional whacks with her paddle.

It would also be nice if when getting a massage they asked if you would like a spanking with it.

Finally, I would love it if my female therapist finally said I am tired of your whining, what you need is a good spanking on your bare bottom and I am going to give it to you!

There are so many possibilities.

Barrel: I have a fantasy that my wife’s hairdresser is equally as kinky as we are. My wife shares how she spanks me. During a haircut, my wife tells the hairdresser how my behavior the last week deserves a spanking. The hairdresser tells my wife to call me and have me report to the salon. Upon my arrival, I am told I am to be strictly punished by my wife and then the hairdresser. The thought of all those hairbrushes makes me cringe.

Jean Marie: I've flown a lot recently and airline passengers are getting more & more unruly. I'd like to see stewardesses be able to discipline obnoxious passengers. It ought to be be public, like bent over the trolley cart used for the drink service used as a punishment horse. It ought to be harsh, like with implements, from paddles to straps to canes, and it ought to be on the bare bottom.

Conversely, some airline staff can develop sour attitudes, whether at the counter, the departure gate, or in the air. I'd love to see certain stewardesses taken over the pilot's knee for a brisk, bare bottomed tune-up. And there ought to be a rule that if you get spanked, you have to go bottomless the rest of the flight, to give everyone a good look at the damage.

Rosco: I once was driving across Utah and stopped at an empty gas station minimart to get a snack. Somehow I messed up how some drinks in the refrigerator were lined up. There were two young attractive albeit overweight women at the register. When I apologized one said I needed a spanking.

Sadly my wife and kids were in the car, so I treated the comment like a joke and went on my way.

Ronnie: Like Jean-Marie - air passengers who are out of order during the flight (they really annoy me) and airline staff as some are so unfriendly.

For me, a riding instructor. Me bent over a bay of hay and disciplined for not tending my horse properly.

Hermione: Like Ronnie said (and I didn't see hers first), a riding instructor who wields the crop mercilessly on a rider's behind if they fail to put their horse's comfort ahead of their own. There are also many politicians who need a good thrashing - televised, of course - for being idiots.

A.J.: Sorry I was late to this brunch conversation. I was going to skip this week but then caught correspondent "S" writing:

"It would also be nice if, when getting a massage, they asked if you would like a spanking with it."

Whoo-hoo! I actually did that!!! Only I did the asking!

On a business trip, a trade show. It was endless hours, little to eat, and exhausting. Headaches, back pain and neck pain, feet and legs in agony. Everything hurt. Hard to even walk.

The last day, conference over and my flight out the next day, I really needed a massage and the hotel had an on-site masseuse. Unfortunately, booked up. Not to worry, the hotel clerk pulled out a list of nearby masseuses who could provide.

Saw a woman's name, it wasn't too far...I called and booked an hour. In her suite she asked what ailed and I told he about the trade show agony.

"Got it!"

Then, what the heck; all she can do is say no. Or get out.

"Is there any chance you could...spank me first?"
"You want that? A spanking?"
"Yeah! Over the knee."
"OK!"

OTK I went and got SPANKED!!

Warning: I capitalized "spanked," for a reason. You ask someone who uses their arms and upper body every day, they have a lot of upper body strength. That goes from their strong right arm, to their strong right hand, and right to your bare bottom! She gave me one helluva spanking!

When it was over she laughed. And so did I! Then then massage, a hot shower, a hug, and I was out the door completely refreshed and cheerful - and still tingling back "there."

Never forgot it.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #504

Welcome to our weekly spanko brunch. It seems that fall is finally coming to our part of the world; the temperature here has dropped to a more tolerable level.

Our good friend and regular correspondent S sent me this musing.

"I am sure there are a lot of potential vanilla services that could be enhanced with the threat of a good old fashioned spanking. For example, a doctor who would spank you if you did not follow their advice. Or a personal trainer who would paddle you if you did not show enough effort when working out. Or even a golf instructor who would smack your bottom if you did not follow their instructions." 

So let's see what you think.

What vanilla services would you like to have spankings associated with them? 

As always, you may remain anonymous. Please leave your response as a comment, and I will publish an edited summary of our discussion once everyone has had an opportunity to respond.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for September 3

Who would you dread being spanked by?

Bonnie: This is where fantasy and reality diverge. I might imagine or even dream about what it might feel like to receive a good spanking from this person or that person, but I don't really want that. Randy and I are monogamous and spanking rests at the very core of our relationship. It would not feel right to share my body and my sexuality with someone else.

So I guess there are a lot of spankers I would dread. Nothing personal. It's just me.

hopelessy hot: Being a male and in California, Madonna. I heard you do not wind up over that woman's knee.

Midwest Reader: Serena Williams.

While to be spanked by Ms. Williams would be one of my "OK, I've finished what I need to on this plane of existence" moments, she is probably 3x stronger than me, 4x stronger than any partner I have played with, and has the arm strength and sweep to practice professional-level tennis for multiple hours/day. It would be a very...intense situation. 

Jean Marie: I fantasize about being spanked by MANY men and women (but that's a different question). What inspired this question was seeing three different men exercise their kinky craft on film.

First, there's Ed Lee; he's known for starting out spanking very hard and very fast and just increasing the intensity from there for long OTK sessions filmed by Nu West.

Next is Dallas from Dallas Spanks Hard fame, who is infamous for wetting the target area and paddling it until it's red, raw, and worn-out.

Finally, there is Michael Masterson from Real Spanking Network/Institute. He's on tape demonstrating his proficiency with sorority paddle, switch, leather strap, burnishing the unlucky butts of a bevy of bottoms.

These three gentleman scare the pee out of me! Boyfriends have put on their VHS tapes or DVD discs to get me in the mood, but the opposite happens. Maybe sometime (if it hasn't been discussed already), we can address hypothetical spankers we have fantasized about getting it from.

Dan: The Pretenders have a song called "Bad Boys Get Spanked," and Chrissie Hynde just seems like the type who wouldn't hold back when spanking a bad boy.

Jean Marie referenced Michael Masterson. I imagine that if he wanted to spank a man, it would be one to remember.

Wendel: There really is not anyone famous I would fear getting spanked by. Hard to fear what will never have a chance to happen. 

I would dread getting a spanking from my mother again. Growing up she dished out some good spankings with her paddle. I could not sit down for a couple of hours after one of her paddlings.

Mark: Mrs Lion springs to mind. Lion's bottom usually looks pretty sore post spanking! On the definite I don't want anyone from Rigid Lupus East! Not nice.

Spankers to dread is not a subject that I have given a lot of thought. Many of Prefectdt's spankers have the opposite effect, thinking that I'd like them to spank me.

Roz: This is a great question. I have thought more about who I would like to be spanked by rather than who I wouldn't so I'm not really sure. Not in the kink world, but perhaps Jason Momoa as I think he would pack a mighty punch!

Prefectdt: Historically, Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar. She was known for being utterly ruthless with those who displeased her.

In contemporary times, Cassie Hunter springs to mind. I have enjoyed watching her canings on video more times than I can remember. She can go a lot harder than I think that this little amateur could handle. But if I ever got the chance to play with her, it would be hard to resist asking her to go full on (yes, I was the little boy who could never turn down a dare). Just to say that I had experienced her at her harshest. Luckily, she lives in Singapore now, as far as I know.

Jack: She is no longer alive, Maureen O'Hara. In her book she talks of a unruly child actor, that she had enough and gave him a spanking. She stated a very sound spanking. Just the look in her eyes, I would dread being spanked by her, for I would know very quickly she knew how to give a spanking and how long to give.

A.J.: I can't answer this one. Can't imagine someone I would dread that I would allow her to "do me."

But here's one - The 16th century British Navy. I'm just a few pages from finishing the book, "The Wager," by David Grann. I heard him interviewed on NPR and went out and bought the book.

The H.M.S. Wager is a ship of the line that left Portsmouth England in August of 1740. By March of 1741 it turned west to get around Cape Horn. The Wager managed to get around the Horn, but not the tremendous and infamous seas. Ten months out of Portsmouth in those mountainous seas, the ship began to break apart. The crew soon found themselves shipwrecked castaways on the Chilean part of Patagonia, on a small island with very few edible plants and no game except birds.

The men got hungry! Three got caught stealing food from their limited supplies.

"In reviewing the Articles of War, it was determined that "the crime did not touch life" and thus did not merit the death penalty. Instead each man was condemned to be administered SIX HUNDRED lashes - an amount so extreme that it would be administered in increments of 200, over three days. Otherwise, it would be lethal."

No kidding! Surprisingly, some of the castaways thought that insufficient! The sentences were carried out.

"(His) shirt had been ripped off, exposing his back; stones of ice struck him first. Then one of the men seized the whip and, WITH ALL HIS MIGHT began to thrash..."

Two hundred like that; another 200 the following day, 200 more the third day. The first to pick up the whip was so tired after 50 lashes, he gave up the whip to another, who also tired. And so on...

The last to be flogged, like the first two, after his 3rd and final flogging, was taken to a nearby island and left on his own. He died the next day.

And thus ends today's literary reading.

PS: Flogging was abandoned by the Royal Navy 138 years later as a method of ship discipline. But - it is still a legal punishment to this day. 

S: I would be very scared of a spanking from Miss Rachel from Austin. For me she is the deadly combination of a extremely beautiful woman who spanks really spanks really hard. I would be like a moth drawn to a flame. I am also scared of Miss Jenn from Seattle, but in a good way.

Hermione: There once was a blog called The Heron Clan written by the members of a polyamorous trio. In one post, Tom, the male member of the trio described how he spanked, and that anyone wishing for a spanking from him would not get off lightly. He warned that he was very extreme in his methods of discipline, and the spankee would get far more than they bargained for. It seemed to me that he would disregard any safeword, so I would dread being on the receiving end of one of Tom's spankings.

It seems that spanking is not all fun and games, depending on who is wielding the paddle.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #503

Welcome one and all! Two weeks ago we talked about places where we would dread being spanked. Our dear friend Jean Marie suggested a topic that springboards off that one.

Is there anyone (in our community or not, in pop culture, past or present) who you would dread receiving a spanking from?

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