Memories Of The Janus Store

I never got to visit the place, but the Janus store in London was famous. Here’s Abel reminiscing about one of his visits:

I have fond memories, too, of visiting the shop more recently with kinky female friends and watching the confused, nay even panicked, looks on some of the customers’ faces (“There’s a woman in here! She’s young! And attractive!” … and, in some cases… “And she’s on the cover of that magazine I was just looking at!”). And then there was the American friend – a student, staying with us – who asked a chap behind the counter, “What does a girl need to do to get spanked round here?” and was told, “Come back at 6pm and come into the back room with me.” A caning duly ensued!

Ready For Her Spanking

Did I say “ready”? Nay, more like eager:

Holding Her Hair

The bondage isn’t enough…he’s got to have a hand on her hair to keep her bottom exactly where he plans the whip to land.

Spanking Tumble Of The Day #6

A well-whipped bottom on a nice soft cushioned ottoman. Sounds comfy, right?

Well, maybe it would be, if it weren’t for all the snow.

Paula Meadows, who did a great many spanking and caning illustrations for Janus magazine and other publications, is shown here “in the flesh” getting a caning from the editor of Janus. Nifty!

BottomSeek: 400 Members And Growing!

Was it really only in February that I told you about Bethie’s new BottomSeek male spanking personals/community project?

Well, yesterday she told me she passed the 400 member mark, and today as I type this it’s already 412.

That may not sound like a huge number, but the hard part of starting any sort of online community is getting the first few hundred members. At first, when there’s nobody there, there’s nothing to stick around for, no reason to hang out and participate. But once you get some people on board, now there’s fun to be had.

Frankly I never expected that BottomSeek would grow so rapidly during this first hard “getting to critical mass” phase. But the world of male spankees and the people who spank them is a niche not well served by other dating sites, and the reception BottomSeek has been getting is very warm. If it’s relevant to your interests, you should definitely check it out!
