Spanking art from Ostra Studio The holidays are here again, blar blar blar, you know the spiel. Time to celebrate and show our favorite people how much they mean to us with tokens of our love. And in Spanko Land, those favorite people tend to be other spankos. If you’re wondering what to give your spanko friends and lovers this season, I’ve got 25 ideas below for gifts I think they’ll dig.  “But T, the economy’s a dumpster fire right now! I’m poor!” That’s okay! Whether you’r

An Illustration from The Memoirs of Dolly Morton In a quaint little house decked with garlands and cheer, Lived a Brat who’d been naughty since this time last year. She wiggled and giggled with sneaky delight, For Christmas was coming… tomorrow! Tonight! Her Spanker had wrapped up her presents with care, Tucked them snugly beneath the twinkling tree there. He warned her each day with a stern, threatening plea: “Don’t peek at your gifts until Christmas, hear me?” But Brats wil

A piece by contemporary British spanking artist J. Tesker Anytime a spankee posts a pic of their toasted cheeks online, viewers all tend to have the same question: “What did you do?” Though any excuse to spank is a good one in my book, the stakes feel higher when it happens for a reason. This is especially true when the dynamic of the connection revolves around discipline. We spankees may technically be adults (and highly sophisticated, thankyouverymuch), but our inner child

A 1920s piece by German artist Helga Bode After a festive outing last weekend, my play partner brought me home and spanked the dickens out of me. He began with his hand as usual, then utilized several wooden paddles throughout the process to subdue me. It was a painful battle. I squirmed and tried to escape to no avail, for he is strong. He held me down, tighter and tighter until I couldn’t move an inch, and delivered a hard procession of swats that rang throughout the house.

Another piece by Louis Malteste “What goes up must come down.” This old adage doesn’t just apply to molly-fuelled all-nighters at raves; it’s relevant to kinky life too! Spanking is a hell of a drug and the descent from that high can feel more like a crash than a fuzzy landing—both emotionally and physiologically. This unpleasant aftermath is known in kink as “drop” and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days.  Drop tends to be harsher for spankees since they’re the

A 1793 print by Isaac Cruikshank, courtesy of the British Museum Every time we kinksters mention “Spanksgiving,” I imagine a voluptuous spankee crawling inside a hollowed-out turkey to play the role of STUFFING, leaving their big bare bottom sticking out the back for holiday revelers to pinken as they eat.  But that is… perhaps… just my pervy interpretation. 🦃 👀 In truth, this fine day is all about gratitude. We’re urged to reflect on what makes us feel spankful —thankful f

From the 1752 British Cartoon Prints Collection Every spanking session is different, even when you play with the same people. One day your partner is punishing you firmly for some naughty grievance and the next, they’re making you purr with hypnotic sensuality.  Talking about the kind of spanking we wish to experience can add excitement to our sessions and spice up our flirty dirty talk. My stomach still does little flips when someone tells me I’ll be punished (* gulp *) or s

Le Rêve D'un Flagellant by Georges Topfer, 1921 The spanko community tends to romanticize morning sessions. We’ve all seen porny videos of lazy spankees getting dragged out of bed and punished hard for sleeping in, groggy and half asleep. Those of us who struggle to get up before noon think, “Perhaps I need that in my life. Someone to help me start the day on a productive foot.” Quaintly ambitious, no? I Am Woman, Hear Me Snoar I probably shouldn’t type this out loud for the

I’ve always been captivated by artistic depictions of spankings. They allow us to view snapshots of excitement in another spanko’s imagination and soak in the emotions portrayed there from a completely different place, time, and mindset. While modern spanking art is certainly glorious and relatable, it’s the historical pieces that really get my gears turning. They remind me that people have been into This Thing We Do forever and get me wondering about every sexy spanking that

From the Marquis de Sade novel Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue When I was younger and still in the kink closet, I wanted so badly to meet other spankos—not just for potential playtime, but for friendship too. I had kinky people around me, but none who felt the way I did about spanking in particular.   I’m happy to say that dream came true once I got brave enough to own my fetish fully. These days, I’m lucky to have plenty of lovely spanko connections, which has improved
