Vintage Paddling Picture
Here’s another classic vintage spanking photograph from Usenet:

Is that a paddleball paddle, do you think?

Sarah had a happy birthday:
Well, kids, I had an AWESOME birthday! At exactly the stroke of midnight, three girls started singing happy birthday to me in my dorm. Embarassed, I started to crawl under one of the suite chairs, unknowingly leaving my derrier vulnerable to spanking. I took a couple and then went shrieking into the other side of the suite where the girls wrestled me into taking the rest of my twenty-two spankings. We then ate caramel apples, which resulted in caramel all over the place, including my shirt, my face, and Jessi’s hair.
If you’re of an age to have been buying spanking videotapes (yes, video tapes, remember those?) in the 1980s in the United States, you will surely have fond memories of California Star. Cal-Star was perhaps the first porn producer in the US (at least, of the ones with broad distribution in adult video stores) to do “real” spanking movies, showing actual spanked-and-caned bottoms. (At that time, domestic spanking movies tended to feature bored-looking models saying “uh, ouch” while a greasy great-uncle type patted their bottoms. Or, more often, fake lesbians tickling each other with the tips of floggers.)
Cal-Star was different. The spankings were real, or at least faked with enthusiasm; and the bottoms wound up looking really really sore. The models, though, were pure 1980s corn-fed Porn Valley rode-hard-and-put-away-wet porn stars. No risk of thinking these “schoolgirls” were too young! It was pure American porn glory, with a kinky twist.
I think I still have a few of their videotapes tucked away in deep storage, but I haven’t seen any new titles in years. But now, via the sparkling miracle that is the internet, much of their old catalog is available for download at California Star Productions.
As these production stills show, Cal-Star was known for brightly lit scenes, often outdoors in sunshine, porny (almost trashy) models, and heavily welted bottoms. Enjoy:
Really, what’s not to like?
They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I guess you can color me flattered. I found a new spanking blog, thought it looked pretty neat, and started reading through it. I quickly discovered that five of the seventeen posts on it (including two pictures) were “borrowed” from Spanking Blog, without so much as a link credit. Not just coincidence — my words, cut and pasted and presented as this other blogger’s. In one case, an email I quoted from Analyze Julie was presented by this other blogger as “an email from a reader.”
I love it when people like my posts, but is it really so hard to drop a link credit? Sheesh.
Mistress Matisse has written a primer on erotic spanking for beginners, in this flavor:
So you’ve played out whatever action frames the spanking, and you’ve got your sweetheart over your knee. Now what?
A little warm-up, that’s what. Massage his/her butt firmly, rub it a little, and whack it lightly. Slap it gently all over, pausing now and then to massage it a little more. Do that for, oh, between two and five minutes, depending on how eager or nervous your lover is.
Now let’s get a little more serious. Ramp up the intensity of the spanks. After each swat, watch and listen to your partner’s response. First you’ll get the flinch, and the tensed body as she processes the sensation. Then he’ll breathe out and you’ll feel his body relax. That’s when you smack him again.
My only quibble: although I understand the value of gender neutral writing, swapping pronouns mid-spanking is not how I’d choose to get there. Just how many people is “you” spanking in this scene?
I laughed a lot when I stumbled over a collection [link later broke, and was removed] of bottom-fetish porn. I’m talking hundreds of pictures of pretty girls showing off their bottoms, all prettily posed for the most discerning bottom-loving gentlemen. There’s never a word spoken about spanking, but look closely! At least half the pretty bottoms on display have faint spanking welts and cane marks:

Long live discrete crypto-spanking porn!

This is fun — a well-spanked bottom. First pour on the baby oil:

Now rub, girl, rub!
