You hear a lot in the BDSM world about negotiation, because it’s freakin’ important. But a lot of times, people don’t know how to do it … or they think it has to be some outside-the-conversation serious heavy moment. It doesn’t. I think this anecdote by Erica Scott (about a night when she wore a collar and got tied up, and yes there are fun photos) is an excellent example of how you can negotiate quite edgy (as defined by the participants) play without really even breaking the flow of your conversation:
“I could use a beck-and-call girl, myself,” he mused, winding his hand into my hair and tightening his fist. “I think I should make you MY little spank slave.”
“Right,” I scoffed.
“I have a collar and leash right here in my bag,” he said, watching my face closely. “I think I should put it on you, what do you think?”
He was checking with me. I knew it. I blustered, “Oh my god! You’ve GOT to be @#$%ing kidding me!”
But I didn’t say no. And so the collar went around my neck.
Only with someone I trust this much, would I go there. I constantly amaze myself with the things I’m willing to do with him, things that are so out of my little play box. And tonight, that was just what I needed.
He made me crawl into my bedroom on my hands and knees, and once I was on the bed, I had to take off all my clothes…

Chross would like to know who Al Siegel is spanking in this picture. He thinks he’s already ruled out Ethel Merman:
If you recognize her, let him (and us) know!
This is a clever clever paddle, and one I very much wish I had. Behold, the Jackboot Paddle:
From the sales info page:
Give them the boot! The Raging Stallion Jackboot Paddle packs a wallop, leaving a distinct impression; a rubber boot sole, size 14, on one side of this 18-inch oak paddle means one solid smack leaves a classic boot-bottom imprint on the ass of the receiver. This spanker is very effective, and you need not even lift your own feet off the floor while spanking that naughty bottom. This clever spanker’s smooth and slightly rounded edges thoughtfully include a black rubber-coated grip to protect your own hands from chafing as you turn those cheeks cherry red.
It’s the oak backing that makes this thing so impressive — it’s got to have an amazingly solid swat!

OK, so I know some spanko girls for whom a spanking just isn’t the same if it doesn’t come with a stern lecture. But you know what? I think even they would agree, this is going too far:

Odds are, that’s supposed to be a Bible, and what she’s actually getting is a sermon on the need to change her wicked ways…
First some caned fingers, then a heavily-paddled bottom for Teen Jessica:
