A Spank A Day Keeps the Boredom Away

https://www.pinterest.com/sharonsmallmoor/interests/

We recently had the Dungeon Bar hired out for a private spanking party and after asking if I could pull a Louis Theroux and bagging myself a seat to stay and watch it got me thinking and I thought I would share some info, tips and ideas all about how, why and when I think we spank.

Glitter, spanking, shoes...these are a few of my favourite things.

HOW - 


Do your research!

Common methods include hand, paddles, floggers and canes. Lots of positions are used and work well for this, straight over the knee for that naughty school boy/girl feel or strapping them down on a spanking bench to increase the feelings of helplessness. Before you begin you should communicate fully with each other, soberly and honestly.

Examples of some things to talk about before you start could be:

*What sort of pain does the spankee like?
*How long can they usually endure?
*Are they looking to be pushed or just try it out?
*What do you both like about it or like about the idea of it?
*Do they mind being marked or like it?



Role play is always a fun way to incorporate spanking or, make a couple of little rules for a night out and have a few different spanking punishments if they are broken is a nice way to enter into it, get creative and have fun.

DON'T FORGET THE SAFE WORD - but even with the safe word the spanker should be on watch for body language cues as well as verbal...sometimes when someone is lost in play they may forget or get too lost to use their safe word...they may even feel like they can't say it for one reason or another. The best way to stop this is by communicating first and checking in during play. A great way to do this is to number their experience...get them to tell you at different points what level the pain is at. You want to start at a 1 and work your way up, making sure the bum is nice, pink and warm before you take it to the next level...aim to peak at 8/9 (but this is something you can discuss before hand) and work your way back down...soothing as you go.

The spankee may start experiencing sub space so after the play you need to focus on aftercare. I will be writing separate blog posts on both of these subjects but make sure you research them before you start your journey into BDSM. It's important to remember that sub drop may not just occur straight after the play but may hit a few days later so keep lines of communication open and be there for each other. Take care of any wounds, wobbles or worries.

Don't forget the after care!

WHY

Like with anything in life the reasons people like to spank and be spanked are wide and varied. From the physical (the blood flow to the pelvic floor and erogenous zones on and around the genitals and buttocks) the chemical (the natural pain killing and happy chemicals and adrenaline that our bodies dose us up with when experiencing pain) to the psychological (the eroticisation of trauma, the thrill of breaking taboos, the power of domination/submission or Freudian authoritarian lust, the lists go on and on and it was of no surprise to me that the spanking party consisted mainly of men in their 60s who had been spanked for punishment at school and home as a child and another reason why role play can be not only fun but also theraputic) it would be hard for me to explain each one in depth so I encourage you to do your own research.

Acting out past trauma in a controlled, safe and loving environment can be hugely therapeutic
...as ever communication before hand is key and play it safe!

WHEN

Spanking like most of BDSM practices (in my opinion) should be a game. Don't spank to repair a relationship or row, don't use it as a punishment for anything that has actually upset you or as a way to punish yourself. As always safe sane and consensual is a must!


                  

I will go into some of these points in more detail in their own blog post, let me know what you love about spanking in the comments section...and yes, I did just learn how to embed gifs :D

Kitten Skyes tips for the empowered submissive.

General tips for an empowered submissive

So I thought I would write some tips on how to stay empowered and safe as a submissive, mainly aimed at new submissives but quite generally applicable. These come from my own experience on the Fetish scene and that of the people around me. Everyone plays in a different way and I'm not preaching but here are a few things I think every submissive should know. Which things would you add to the list? Anything you disagree with? Let me know in the comments section.


-Ask as many questions as you like to the Dominant before you decide to meet or play with them, this does not make you a bad submissive this allows you to feel secure.

-Ask others on the scene about the Dominants past and their safety whenever and wherever possible.

-Share and communicate with other subs regarding the safety of other Dominants.

-If meeting a new Dominant to play for the first time always have a safety measure in place ie: taking someone with you, someone expecting your call etc.

-Make sure someone outside of the play knows where you are.

-You are not less important than the person you are choosing to submit to. You are allowing them to act out an exciting role play activity WITH you and anyone who can't see that is a dangerous person to play with. There is no Dominant without a submissive.

-Know yourself, know how far you can go, know how much after care you need and communicate it clearly.

-Read as much on the subject of BDSM as possible, specifically safety, psychology and subdrop - knowledge is most definitely power.

-Understand your fetishes and where they come from. Acknowledge and accept them, accept who you are and enjoy it. This is a process and until then you may suffer from feelings of guilt and shame which are natural but not exactly fun.

-Find ways you can help yourself to feel better during subdrop, hot baths, exercise, writing - whatever it is don't rely solely on the Dominant to help you through it.

-Write out a list of all the things you like, the things you don't like and the things you would never do (hard limits) it doesn't matter if you only like one thing and have 10 hard limits, none of this makes you a bad submissive.

-THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAD SUBMISSIVE!

-Always play with a safeword, never feel like you can't use this at any time. You are there by choice and if you decide you don't want to continue at any point the play should stop.

Be wary of "Dominants" who seem overly against any of the above.
