Some Thoughts On The Cane

I don’t agree with everything DiscerningDom has to say about canes here, but in my opinion anybody who’s waxing so poetical/philosophical about one of my favorite implements deserves a little extra internet air time:

There may be submissive girls who have not yet tried the cane. But I cannot believe there are any who have not thought of it, with a mixture of fear and fascination.

What is the source of the cane’s aura? In part it derives from a solid basis of fact, that, properly wielded, it can impart a impressive level of pain, and is capable of leaving bruises that, depending on the susceptibility of the girl, can last for days or even weeks. The cane delivers its force to a highly focussed area. It’s thin, and so the effect is not diffused, as with a belt or tawse. And because of this, the pain is penetrating. It seems to go right down through the flesh, to reach the core beneath, the tender, throbbing core of the poor trembling submissive.

I have a sneaking suspicion that no girl feels she has truly earned her spurs as a submissive until she has undergone the cane. I tend to take that view myself. Hand, belt, whatever, are delightful things to use on an inviting bottom. But I am always looking for the girl to graduate to the cane. That’s when things get serious.

Carpet Beater Punishment

This kinky punishment fantasy is by an artist known as “Papermania”. I’ve seen some of his (?) stuff before, but the attribution (and some gallery links) comes from this post at Femdom Resource:

Spanking Blog: A Bit Of Redesign

Hey, everybody. My apologies for the limited spanking updates recently — I’ve had my head “under the hood” mucking about with the WordPress templates, which are ancient and creaky and full of horrible code and bad CSS.

The thing that impelled me to tackle this round of redesign is my own aging eyes. The previous version of this design was intended to work (without any scrolling) down to screen sizes of 800×600. There aren’t too many people still using screens that small (except on mobile devices — my next project) which means that there’s no longer any reason to use the tiny little 320-pixel photo sizes I adopted back in 2003, and no need to subject my poor eyes to the tiny fine print that the old sidebar used. By assuming screen sizes of 1024×768 and up, I was able to make a wider sidebar, scale up the font sizes of the sidebar links, and still have enough room left over to nearly double the size of the pictures in the main blog post. I hope the rest of you find the result as much easier to see and to read as I do.

It’s highly probably that I’ve completely broken something somewhere, so if you see any borked stuff, please leave a comment (or email me!) telling me what looks borked to you. Please don’t forget to tell me what operating system and browser you are using if you do this!

Thanks for your patience.
