Illustration by Georges Topfer When you fall on the more masochistic end of the spectrum, it becomes apparent that some kinky sessions hurt more than others. One day, you’re zoning out during a spanking in a fluffy cloud of tranquility, able to take whatever’s dished out. The next, you’re squirming, fighting back, and running for your life, shocked by how sensitive you’ve suddenly become. My fellow subby/switchy types, you’re not imagining things. Pain tolerance fluctuates fr

A piece by Louis Malteste My play partner, an esteemed gentleman and fellow spanko, once asked me an intriguing question: “If you could press a button that would erase your spanking fetish and make you forget it ever existed, would you?” ‘Tis a deep topic, surely. Such a move would, in theory, instantly transform us into people with vanilla preferences—people who didn’t think about spanking all day or feel embarrassed to see it pop up in old movies. We would then arrive home

Collection des Orties Blanches by Leon Pierre circa 1932 I talk a lot (okay, a WHOLE lot) about spanking at this blog, but the truth is, bare bottoms can serve many purposes. Sometimes even the most devoted spanker must give their swinging arm a rest and explore other activities for a well-rounded spanko experience. If you’re looking for other peachy pursuits to incorporate into your kinky sessions, this post is for you. A friend of mine is sitting next to me as I type this

The Obscene Kiss by Francesco Maria Guazzo As a California pseudo-hippie with a probing interest in the mysteries of the universe, I’m no stranger to the ancient practice of spiritual divination. Think tarot cards, palm readings, and scrying with crystal balls. Through these mediums, we channel supernatural forces to seek knowledge of the future or answers to life's deepest questions. But what I didn’t know, even as a certified spanko, is that some people do this with butth

The Misfortunes of Collette My play partners and I prefer to spank for an hour or two at a time. I can only imagine that sounds excessive to people who don’t share this fetish. I once had a friend—a rather kinky gal—scoff at the idea that spanking could be any BDSMer’s “main thing.” I guess we spankos seem boring… though I sure don’t think so. Spanking is a deeply intimate ritual I never tire of. A ritual is defined as “a repeated, structured sequence of actions or behaviors

Le Tour d'Europe d'un Flagellant Some people worship Jesus in their day-to-day lives. Spanking fetishists, however, are more likely to aim their devotion at the sacred curves of a begging backside. The art of erotic spanking is a timeless form of butt worship. This practice goes far deeper than the smacky-smacky sting we adore; a central theme is the plump target of our affections, and WHAT a target it is.

Illustration by Georges Topfer When spanking butts is your idea of a good time, you have to learn how each of your partners likes it. Everyone’s different! Some spankees want hard punishments accompanied by lecturing and admonishment. Others want long, sensual spankings they can relax and zone out to. Our preferences are as unique as our personalities and you won’t know what you’re dealing with until you investigate your partner’s mind. As a top, your desires also influence

Illustration by Georges Topfer If you’re reading this, you’ve probably discovered the person you fancy is into spanking, and not just casually. A fetish isn’t an “I can take it or leave it” thing for those who have one. Spanking is likely a salient theme in your partner’s erotic imagination. If you're the apple of their eye, they’ll want to share this with you. You may be wondering what it’s like for your partner to have this fetish—or worrying it could affect your compatibil

It’s Spooky Season again. Time to dress up like a weirdo and paint the town red with your kinky friends, you hot mess! If your Halloween plans involve fall spanking parties, you’re gonna need a costume that makes an impact —preferably on your bottom or someone else’s. Better choose a concept that accentuates your assets. I’ve cooked up a variety of cheeky ideas for you.
