The Aesthetics of A Good Set of Marks

In a post entitled “Men!” over at Burblings, Confused writes:

After those 8, he stopped caning me, made a pleased sort of noise, carefully laid the cane across the back of my legs (which made me give a sort-of shocked/stunned gasp), and stood back. So I carefully turned my head and saw him standing there, arms crossed, looking very smug and pleased with himself.

…

Of course, afterwards, it occured to me that only a man could be that pleased with getting the stripes evenly spaced and seem completely oblivious to the effect he’s having on the canee!

Bethie and I have a version of this conversation from time to time. Her: “What do you mean, it’s cute? It hurts!” Me: “I should hope so, it was supposed to. It’s also extremely cute….” Her: “Doh! You…..”

Men are visual creatures. Visual proof that a good spanking has been delivered is very satisfying. It’s Bethie’s bad luck that I’m sorta color blind — no gentle pink glow gets acknowledged around here!

However, as Baltazar points out, stopping to admire the marks is not a sign that we are oblivious to the effects thereof. Quite the contrary!

Unknown Spanking Artist

About six months ago I exchanged emails with someone regarding Spank Directory, which features in its design two little drawings in the style of this one:

spanking art

The unknown someone (for verily have I searched my email archives in vain) told me the artist was “very famous in my country”. Alas, I forgot to ask which country.

Does anybody know anything about this spanking artist?

Update: Jiri Neprakta is the answer. Thanks!

These Are Not The Spanking Personals

As you may imagine, we get letters. Many are delightful. Others are confusing. A few are disgusting. And some are just … odd.

Here are two recent letters, reproduced as nearly as possible exactly as they were received, personal information partially redacted out of pity. Letter the first:

wher are all the woman who no how to give a good spanking.
they sure are hard to find.xxx xxxxxxx in portland oregon

503 xxx xxxx. i am 40 year old and in good shape and single 5 10 185 lbs

Letter the second:

To whom it may concern
I have a 33 year old who is very bad
I wanted to know if you know anyone who would spank her or anyone who will show her
how to spank herself.
Thank you from Xxxxxxx

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Spanking Blog is not a personals site. Your better bet would be to either take my earlier advice, or go the other route and use Alt.com.

Either way, you’ll want to put a bit more effort into those initial contacts. Believe it or not, punctuation and capitalization actually matter.

“Ouch Dangit Stop Wiggling!”

Baltazar writes about the perils of a wiggly spankee:

When administering a playful and erotic OTK paddling to C’s rear and caressing it between blows of the paddle always ensure that if she wiggles as you are bringing the paddle down you keep your restraining hand well out of the “danger” zone.

Guess which silly sod clipped the end of his left thumb and index figure with the paddle? Yes, that’s right, it was me.

Cue much cursing and sucking of sore fingertips to the accompaniment of C rolling around on the bed in fits of giggles.

I was walking in the woods with Bethie the other day and menacing her with a long and extremely whippy fresh switch. Whilst cutting the air at great speed to attain the maximum evil “whhzzzzzt” noise, the very thin tip executed a 360-degree looping backlash and smote me lightly on the back of my hand. I was not amused, and it’s possible I profaned and/or blasphemed.

Bethie was amused. However, she quickly discovered the drawback to laughing at a man with five and a half feet of fresh spring willow in his hand. She squealed and ran. Then I was amused.

Another Pair of DD Blogs

Got a nice email from Baltazar, whose wife and he began a DD relationship a few months back and are blogging about it at the self-deprecatingly-titled blogs Randomness and Burblings. I do enjoy the dual-viewpoint blogging. Here’s Baltazar’s viewpoint on his wife’s most recent caning:

I briefly reminded her that the caning was going to be given, as agreed, because she had reached six on my tally of the number of times she has used improper language since she made the original request. So, after a brief pause, I started to cane her. Now I must have got the attitude and atmosphere spot on, because she stayed still and counted each stroke as they landed, following each count with a clear “thank you”.

Six strokes given, I gave her a reassuring hug and finished off by telling her (in as strict a tone as I could manage) that if I had to repeat the lesson again, then each stroke would be harder and she would be made to stand in the corner afterwards to think on the reason for the caning.

The Number One Spanking Site

As I’ve mentioned from time to time, one of my goals back when I started Spanking Blog was to see if a sharply focused spanking blog could compete for the number one Google search result for “spanking”. I’m pleased to announce that it only took fifty-seven weeks of daily posts to do the trick. Tonight, for the first time (and possibly the last, as fickle as Google can be) I saw this pretty sight:

number one google result screenshot

Thanks to all my loyal readers for making this blog so much fun to do, and thanks also to everyone who has linked to me. And, of course, to the advertisers and sponsors who help me pay my not-inconsiderable bandwidth bill.

And, now, I think, a finger of single malt is in order.

Spanking at The Masque

Here’s an entertaining erotic spanking illustration (via Usenet) showing a frolic at one of those infamous masked balls:
