Spanko Brunch 2.0 #595


Welcome, one and all, to our weekly spanko brunch. You're just in time for what I hope will be a lively discussion. Today's topic is one I found down in the vault where my archives are stored. I dusted it off and it is just as timely today as it was in 2015.

Have you or your partner ever had an implement break during a spanking? If so, how did it happen? What were your reactions? Did the spanking continue?

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

Farewell, Dear Friend

Another blog has bitten the dust. Our good friend and regular blogger Prefectdt has lost his blog. I thought Blogger was the only platform that unexplainedly wiped blogs from the interwebs. But no, it seems Wordpress does the same. His blog with links to all other spanking blogs is still operational here.

You can still visit the archive of Spankedhortic II -- 14 years in all, that's quite a record -- in the Wayback Machine. I hope that someday a new blog called Spankedhortic III will arise from the ashes. In the meantime, there's always a home for you here.

We'll miss you, Prefectdt.

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for June 8

What are your thoughts on the sounds that a spankee makes?

Dan: During a spanking, I don't "speak" a lot with actual words. Instead, there are lots of grunts and groans and OW, OW, OWs.

I'm not sure whether my wife cares one way or another about the vocalizing. But, I think she does like the sound of the paddle or strap as it makes contact.

FL: One time I was apparently making too much noise so she stuffed her panties into my mouth. And yes, I'm aware of how completely made up it sounds but it really did happen. And I loved it!

Barrel: During most spankings, strappings and paddlings, I try to remain silent and not disturb the moment. Even when she goes longer and the discomfort grows, I just try to let it in. When we are in a session, most of my responses are heavy breathing, which I try to control so as not to hyperventilate. Occasionally, when she wants to maximize the effect, she inserts a breathable ball gag, which allows only moaning and lots of drooling, but it is fun.
As for her, she loves the impact noise and occasionally comments when the strap or tawse lands perfectly.

Wendel: When I am spanking the Misses she will yell out a bit and sometimes break out into full blown crying. I love how the sounds of the spanking impacts blend with the cries. They go together quite nicely.
When the Misses spanks me I will yell out “owww and oohhhs!”.
We both like spankings too much to beg for it to stop. 

Norse Cavalier: For fun spankings, I love the little moans the spankees make. One woman I spanked made the most adorable grunting noises - and when I commented on them, she blushed so red she almost struggled to breathe.

For punishment spankings, I expect her to whine, squeal and plead. If she's not promising insistently to behave forever and ever, she's not being spanked hard enough. So yeah, I love the noise(s).

Roz: During a spanking I usually let out a series of grunts and groans and oww and ooh's. Rick likes my verbal responses and will often adjust accordingly.

Jack: When my wife/mommy applies the bath brush to my bare bottom I'm very loud, there is no way I cannot be. Over her lap she scolds me and I must respond, loud: you have been a naughty little boy and I must say Yes Mommy, and I'm sorry Mommy. 

Prefectdt: As I have always strived, and often failed, to be a Stoic Spankee, I try my best myself not to make a noise during a spanking. I do enjoy it when a Spanker can make me cry out during a spanking. To be honest, I am pleased when a spanking becomes a bit of a contest, me trying to stay quiet, whilst the Top/Domme is trying to make me make some noise. Unless they cheat with not enough time between strokes/swats/pats or something else.

Rosco: I might say ow or otherwise complain just to be a little obstinate and encourage the ferocity of the discipline to come.

I might softly moan as my cravings are satisfied.

I might involuntarily shout or grunt when a blow lands extra hard.

I might be instructed to be quiet, in which case I’ll do my best.

S: I wish I had to worry about making too much noise when engaging in spanking fun. Unfortunately, no spankings at our house.

A.J.: Lots of questions!

Spankees, do you make a lot of verbal noise? How would you feel if you were somehow prevented from speaking or otherwise expressing yourself?

I don't make (or any) much noise when on the receiving end. Usually the occasional "Emmmm!" None of the lovelies who have had me OTK ever prevented me from expression, probably because I'm a bit of a wuss and spanking for us is the erotic thrill I/we get from it. Physically restrained? An absolute "NO!" for me. Never asked if I could restrain her - during a spanking! A bunch of old neckties, a bowl of strawberries, and some whip cream - well, that's another story.

Spankers, what do you think of the sounds coming from the spankee's mouth? Do you enjoy them, or do you discourage speaking and crying out?

Love them. But, again, I'm a wuss as a spanker. It's only a guide in directing the action. Discourage them? Nope! Helps to understand her at that moment.
      

Hermione: Like Prefectdt, I'm from the Stoic School of Spankees, and try my best to keep quiet. But I do let out a few Ow's just to let Ron know he's doing a good job.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #594


Once again we're here together for the ever-popular weekend spanko brunch. I'm glad you could make it, because I have an interesting topic for you today, aimed at both participants of a spanking. We discussed it exactly ten years ago today, so let's try it again.

Spanking can be a very noisy business. There's the crack of the paddle, the whoosh of the belt, the slap of the hand...you get the idea. But what about the sounds a spankee makes?

Spankees, do you make a lot of verbal noise? How would you feel if you were somehow prevented from speaking or otherwise expressing yourself? Spankers, what do you think of the sounds coming from the spankee's mouth? Do you enjoy them, or do you discourage speaking and crying out?

Leave your response as a comment, and once everyone has had a chance to weigh in, I will publish a summary of our discussion. Don't be shy—speak up!

Things that make you go "Hmmm"

Boru sent me a couple of images that made me stop and think:



 

And here are a few more:

 


"You'll never be as hot as we are, no matter what bikini you buy."

Recap: Spanko Brunch 2.0 for June 1

Has a spanking ever gotten you out of a funk?

FL: Spanking for me is 100% sexual, so while I enjoy roleplay and "punishments", it's not really about that. Real issues should be dealt with by discussing them as adults, and equals. But spankings, especially unexpected ones, have certainly brightened my day and put me in a much better mood on occasion. 

Wendel: Spankings are great stress relievers. All the worries, except for how sore we will be, leave the body. 

When she cannot sleep in the middle of the night the Misses will wake me up with a hard whack of the paddle. She does it because once I catch my breath I whip her bottom. Once whipped she falls asleep almost immediately. I guess spankings help with sleeping as well.

I must try that! 

Roz: There have been the odd occasion I felt a spanking may help lift a mood or anxiety. It has sort of worked. But in that situation any benefits were mainly temporary. 

Bonnie: Yes, yes, and yes. Randy knows a good spanking will fix my funk.

CEM: As most here already know, this is actually based on biology and science. Dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin are brain chemicals, also known as neurotransmitters or hormones, that play a crucial role in our mood, emotions, and overall well-being. These "happy chemicals" work together to regulate feelings like happiness, motivation, relaxation, and social connection. 

Mija: Sometimes stress and anxiety freeze me in place, until I can't do anything. There's something about a spanking sometimes that makes me stop ruminating and start acting again. Much better. 

Jack: As far as my wife/mommy is concerned a spanking cures all.

Prefectdt: Yes, loads of times. It is never the day of the spanking or the day after. But usually from the third to sixth day after a spanking, I get an increased ability to think logically and more effectively than I usually do. Every time that I have a big life decision to make, I try to get a spanking a week before I have to make that decision. It normally helps me to make the best choice.

A.J.: I can only recall one occasion where I wanted to be spanked to get my mind off the problems of the day (actually, a couple months.) The twins, time and place, got in the way and so it never happened. And then the 'turmoil' passed....

On the delivery end, my first spanking GF was experiencing a lot of stress at her job and approached me one afternoon to REALLY spank her! Not the fun spankings we both loved, but hard, long and painful. A REAL spanking! One to get her mind off her problems.

I said no. Actually, "NO!!"

She whined and begged and wore me down. Then gave me a paddle.

OK. "YOU" asked for it.

OTK and she was soon howling and kicking and squirming. I stopped! She said, "More." I did; then I couldn't. Threw the paddle down and looked at her beautiful face all blubbery with tears and crying; her cute tush RED and on its way to BLACK.

She went to work the next day, still sore. She said she felt better.

A few days later - she was back to worrying about her jobs and life and whatev.

Conclusion (mine): It didn't do a damn thing except bruise up the tush I loved. All the issues she had were still there. And SHE had to address them there, in her office.

She never asked me to do that again. (Which was good - I didn't want to.)

However - I do note that other responses to this Q are different from mine. So your mileage may vary.

Hermione: Yes, it has worked for me. When I need a real reset I hand over the wooden paddle with holes or the bath brush. It takes my mind off everything else, and I feel refreshed.

Spanko Brunch 2.0 #593

We've been enjoying fiddleheads - a traditional Canadian springtime treat. Steamed, with a little butter added, they're delicious!

At last week's brunch, our good friend A.J. gave me a suggestion for this week's topic, and I love it.

Was there ever an occasion when you thought a spanking would help you get out of a funk or resolve a problem? Did you actually get that spanking, and did it help or not? 

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