In this sexy new gallery from the back-in-business Dreams Of Spanking site, we see Pandora Blake running a massage parlor with “special” spanking services also available:
It’s so nice to see this site rolling out new spanking scenes again after Pandora’s long ordeal with the British censors!

I don’t know how many of you have been following Pandora Blake’s unhappy saga as her egalitarian fairtrade ethical spanking porn studio and life’s work, Dreams Of Spanking, has come under the dire scrutiny of the British censoring body known as ATVOD. Today she was forced to stop selling new memberships, and it looks like her site is going offline (pending appeals) as of August 27:
It's happened – ATVOD sent their Final Determination. We will be appealing to Ofcom. Memberships to the site are no longer available to buy.

We have 20 working days to comply with their demands. Existing members can access the site until 27 Aug, after that it will go offline.

ATVOD demands we register and pay up, put all adult content behind credit card paywall, and take 'prohibited' content offline altogether.

Over half our scenes contain 'prohibited' content – removing them would gut the site. Paywall means no more free trailers or photo previews.

It's impossible for us to comply with ATVOD's demands without undermining our core principles of authenticity, transparency & accessibility.

If this makes you as angry as it makes us, please donate to @backlashuk, who are providing us & other affected producers with legal support.

If you want to know more, Pandora has been documenting the whole sorry story in a series of blog posts over this past spring and summer. They are:

The newest update from Dreams Of Spanking features a spanking scenario that I’ve never seen before. In Blackmail Material, Ten Amorette is determined to get blackmail material to entrap a kinky politician character played by Paul Kennedy. Ten goes to his house in a tight dress and flirts him into taking her over his knee for a hand spanking. To get the marks she needs for blackmail photos, she then gets him to bend her over the sofa for a harsh belt spanking:

In this gallery from Dreams Of Spanking, Alex Reynolds plays a truant schoolgirl being introduced to the tawse for the first time. Given the persuasive power of a well-swung tawse, it’s not long before Alex is begging to do anything that will make the punishment stop:

Pandora Blake has made no secret of the fact that her Dreams Of Spanking website (which we have greatly enjoyed here at Spanking Blog) has been under serious regulatory threat since that ridiculous-but-terrifying censorious regulatory regime went into effect last year in Great Britain. (From this great distance, my murky impression is that a fading agency primarily responsible for regulating the adult content of DVDs — which have long been heavily censored in Britain — has made a successful grab for power, relevance, and funding, by the expedient of saying “adult websites are like old-fashioned video-on-demand services, which we also regulate because they used to just play DVDs over the cable TV network, so we ought to be able to regulate websites too!”)
Regulatory officialdom in Great Britain turns out to be impossibly hostile to BDSM and kinky stuff, the more so if it involves women in any role other than the traditionally-submissive. Thus it has been clear from the start that this is an existential threat to sites like Dreams Of Spanking. Pandora has legal representation and the courage to speak out, be activist, and keep doing what she’s doing, but there’s a lot of legal and financial peril involved. As an outspoken activist, it was probably inevitable that she would clash with regulatory authorities sooner rather than later, and indeed that day has come:

If you like Dreams Of Spanking, go read her post. Many people are rooting for her, and we can wish for a triumphant outcome, but that’s by no means a sure thing. As Pandora says (and I do not think she’s being either melodramatic or self-serving here):
If you haven’t yet joined the site, do it now, while you still can – time is running out, and legal fees are expensive.
Verbum sapienti satis.

One of the reasons I like Dreams Of Spanking is that in addition to their genre-stretching excursions from spanking porn tradition, they can also produce spanking porn with a classical theme, such as this caning sequence featuring quavering truant schoolgirls:

It’s very good to see Erica Scott doing a spanking scene for Dreams Of Spanking; her indomitably bratty attitude and great good humor are great ingredients in any spanking film.
These pictures are from The Workaholic, in which Erica gets a little bit too frisky trying to interrupt and seduce her workaholic husband. Tearing up his papers probably was a bit over the top — but it works, by damn! She gets both his attention and a well-spanked bottom.
