Self-Appointed Arbiters Of Kink

A while back I had occasion to write the following miracle of muddy expression:

It never fails to entertain me when kinky people go all judgmental as soon as somebody takes their kink a little farther than they are comfortable with.

In a slightly different context, Mistress Matisse says something similar, only she says it much better:

It’s always amazing to me when people take on a sexually deviant identity and then try to set up restrictive rules about how that identity must be expressed. Hey, if you want to create an inflexible structure for yourself, I’m cool with that, although I might scratch my head over it privately. Why would you bother leaving behind other people’s repressive rules just to straight-jacket yourself all over again?

However, the idea that you can inflict your rules of identity on me is laughable. To me, that would be the ultimate submission — letting someone else decide how I could and could not express my sexuality. I’m far too dominant for that!

Which is why Matisse has a newspaper column and I (the gods be praised) do not.

Spanking Therapy

I love this blog post title: Nothing Ruins a Bad Mood Better Than a Good Spanking. And it’s true, too. Whenever Bethie gets out of sorts, I give her a spanking while getting all mock-stern about her being “fractious”. By the time she’s trying to figure out whether to laugh or whimper-and-squeal, her bad mood is usually long gone.

Or, as it went down in the post:

He had me get onto the floor on my hands and knees. He started in with the paddle on my butt, harder than i expected right of the start. i was mostly annoyed just then, but i decided maybe i just needed to have the sullen mood beat out of me, so i breathed and relaxed. Quickly i found it easy to take even harder smacks than He initially used. He paused often to rub my quickly reddening bottom. That felt good, and made it somehow more personal. He used His hand also, and raked His nails over my back, leaving some nice red lines.

Apparently this was all very arousing for Him, He grabbed my hair and sat back on the couch, ordering me to take Him in my mouth. He knows that i don’t really like to lick Him there if He hasn’t freshly showered, but sometimes He makes me do it anyway, just because i don’t like it. Well if the spanking didn’t do it, that did, and i started feeling ‘sub state of mind’ coming on. i sucked and licked Him to orgasm, and He came all over my chest and neck again. At this point i was kneeling up, and He told me to stay, my palms against my thighs. i obeyed, and He proceeded to lay into my butt with His hand again. This time there was no pain, only that lovely feeling of teetering on the edge, i found it hard not to fall forward. My legs felt unsteady and i had to make a conscious effort not to turn into a puddle of mush on the floor.

He told me that my red ass was beautiful. That is maybe the most Dominant-like thing He has ever said. Few people can appreciate a just-beaten ass like a Dominant. It made me feel amazing.

Spanking Art Blog

I just discovered Spanking Art, which features nice examples of vintage spanking artwork. It’s new, but looks very promising.

Vikings With Whips

Many a kinkster has had moments of pleasant reverie while reading the histories of those terrible Vikings, whose plundering always included (at least in the fevered imaginings of the pious monks who recorded the histories) the carrying-off of nubile farm wenches for immoral purposes. Here’s one of those reveries reduced to pen and ink (click the detail image for the larger scene):

Spanking Email Fetish

As you might imagine, running this blog gets me some odd email. Lately, however, I’ve noticed a common theme that runs through some of the odd ones. Every few weeks I’ll get one like this (although the return address and subject matter always varies):

“my girl likes me to spank her during sex and i like doing it can you tell me what what makes her like it is it the pain or power”

What these messages have in common are (1) that they are very short; (2) they always contain a stupid-ish spanking-related inquiry that invites a detailed response; 3) the authors of these requests never share anything substantive about themselves; and 4) the authors of these requests usually display a profound native innocence about phenomena such as punctuation and capitalization.

What’s more, I sometimes get similar requests in comments and they are also fairly frequent on spanking discussion boards. Usually in the discussion boards six people will answer, but the original poster never comes back into the discussion. Instead, a week later, it’s new thread time: “tell me what you like when you get spanked do you suck him always then?”

I have begun to conclude that these questions are a variant on the strategy used by the guys who make dirty phone calls to random women in an effort to get free phone sex. It’s as if there are guys out there (surely guys — I’ve never had one that purports to be from a woman) who get off on the act of enticing someone into responding to their questions about spanking. Why this should be so (when there are millions and millions of pages of spanking discussion out there just waiting to be Googled up) is beyond me. But then, other people’s fetishes are often a mystery.

Has anybody else encountered this “I want some custom spanking prose from you” email fetish?
