Ask Me Anything: My Favorite Spanking

A.A. asked:

Can you tell us about your most favorite spanking you have ever given?

Hm. I’m not sure I have a favorite spanking that I’ve ever given. That’d be like choosing the best time I had sex or something. Some of the spankings that come to mind were early on in my kink life, when I started figuring out how to be kinky with women (after spending much of my teens being kinky with men. Or rather, boys). I went to a spanking workshop at Babeland once, probably in 1999 or 2000, which was very memorable and awesome, and I very strongly remember the Power & Surrender workshop (much like the recent one) that taught me how to flog. That was probably 2002.

Recently, though … well, I did some flogging at the recent Power & Surrender retreat, which was lovely. I like to spend a long, slow time on warm-up, then use my whole body to whomp for a while. I noticed I was even doing a little bit of a jump to get more of my body weight behind the flogger. I still want more practice flogging—every time I see Lolita flog I want to take classes from her.

Also, Kristen’s birthday was last weekend.

So of course there were spankings. I even got my heavy wooden paddle out. But there could perhaps be more spankings. I’d like to figure out how to leave big heavy bruises on her ass, I don’t tend to do that, but I think it’s time to try.

  1. In my experience, I’ve only gotten big black bruises on my behind when a paddle, thuddy flogger or cane was used, never from open-hand spanking alone. I suspect you’d hurt your hand first.

  2. Sinclair says:

    Yes very true! My hand can’t actually take as much pain or pressure as an ass can. Too many little tiny bones in there, not enough muscle. I’ll have to keep working up to a paddle or cane. I love the stripes a cane leaves.

  3. that cake is awesome.
    also, apparently kristen is 10 days older than me, which seems random and funny.
