Thanks to Kane magazine for this lovely shot!

Warmest thanks to Colorado Spankers for this piece of art.

And the insightful and delightful folks over at Bethany’s Woodshed sent along this merry link of Christmas tales and artwork.

Here is just a tiny sample of what you’ll find over there. This is an excerpt of a poem by “Fred” titled ‘Twas Weeks Before Christmas.

Spanking in the mainstream – or, is Spanking really bad?

I was in a garage today getting my annual inspection done. It was taking quite awhile, so I struck up a conversation with a black lady who was likewise waiting for her car. We had been watching one of these television shows with a no-nonsense judge. I think it was Judge Joe Brown (and he is definitely a Dom… that man is In Charge.) Out of a sense of impishness, I suggested that what the defendant…

The different Dom types

I’m frequently entertained by blonde over at Love of Slavery, but she has a thoughtful side as well. As a Dom, I don’t think much about Dom classifications. Being on the other end of the cane, so to speak, she has summed up the field succinctly and offered her own opinions.

While she has covered almost all types, there’s probably a few smaller sub-species wandering around. There’s one I call the…

5 great pieces of Japanese Spanking art

have this secret little site. . . okay, it’s not so little – and perhaps it isn’t so secret either. But I never seem to see artwork from this site posted anywhere. It’s a Japanese site and it is nearly impossible to navigate. (I find that to be true of most Japanese sites. The Japanese people are great at a lot of things, but webpages don’t seem to be one of them.)

Before you link over there…

The two types of submissives

There are two types of submission around here (well, more than that, but I’m only going to talk about the two that matter for this story.) There is full submission where Invidia is on task and does what she’s told in both body and spirit. Then there’s the type that I got last night. This is where she obeys the letter of my orders, but with a silent animosity. I don’t get the proper ‘yes sirs’ and…

How to take care of your submissive

This is a somewhat complex subject, but what it boils down to is that a submissive expects to be taken care of. A part of her psyche that is saying, “There’s someone bigger and stronger in charge of me. I can relax because he’s handling things. I’m safe in his hands, because he cares for me.” That part of the mind can be buried quite deeply, especially in the day-to-day bustle of one’s life. This…

When I first became interested in the spanking scene, there were a number of words, phrases, euphemisms, and acronyms that I did not know. I have been contacted by a number of readers who confess to me that they are new to the spanking and BDSM scene – so I thought I’d offer some helpful vocabulary once in awhile. Today’s vocabulary word is: martinet. It is a French word because it is a French…

The story of O and spanking games

I’m sure most of you have heard of various drinking games where, at a certain designated moment, people have to drink. Some of the best ones involve television because A) you don’t have to do any thinking, and B) television is pretty mindless even before you add alcohol. Because we get a higher quality crowd around here, we decided to combine the classics with spanking. Get a copy of The Story of…

No kink planned for today (not for y’all anyways). We’re relaxing, sleeping late and enjoying ourselves. Back to the grind tomorrow! But, of course, there is of course something for you: Eight swats from the light paddle, Seven swats from TheBoss’s hand, Six swats from the riding crop, Five swats with the leather belt, Four swats from the hairbrush, Three swats with the ‘Board of Education’, Two…

Actually it’s more of a burgundy color. Very pretty, I’m sure you’ll agree. (Or, if you are a sensitive sub, you’ll think it’s a crime against humanity and should be banned by all civilized nations.) Either way, it packs a mean wallop. You can’t tell it from the picture, but it’s an amazing piece of leather. It manages to be thuddy as all get out, yet it’s light enough to swing easily. The strap…

One of the interesting things about D/s relationships is that the cause of the conflict isn’t necessarily as important as the fact of the conflict itself. Case in point: last night Invidia was picking raisins out of her cereal (she loves that cereal… except for the raisins) and putting them on my desk after I told her to put them in a bowl I had provided for that purpose. Now, she claims not have…

As a Dom, I’m rarely (i.e. never) on the wrong end of the paddle. Or the cane. Or the strap. Etc, etc. While I know that I have favorite toys, for various reasons, I’m still amazed when subbies tell me that they have favorite ones as well. Not necessarily the ones that hurt the least, either. Invidia, for example, has very specific reasons she likes and dislikes certain implements and can explain…

Why I love being a slave

On any random day, you’ll find us busily scouring the web for interesting things to tell y’all about (when we’re not creating brand new stuff, that is). Sometimes, though, things just fall in our lap. In this instance, blonde (her name) contacted us and told us how much she liked Collar Purple and invited us to visit her website. It’s a sprawling bear of site, so you should allocate some time to…

How to limit your sub’s misbehaviour

I recall when once as an adult I was reminiscing with my grandmother about funny things that had happened years earlier. I laughingly admitted to having put clothing in my backpack in the morning so that I could change outfits when I got to school. (My grandmother and I disagreed on what was fashionable and modest.) Even though I was in my 20’s, in college and a full-fledged adult, I thought she…

What does being a sub not mean?

If you want to know, what being a sub means, then click here. I realize that I am going to disagree with a number of people on this matter. That is all right with me – I am long past the point in my life where I feel like I must always be in agreement to be right. Besides, where BDSM is concerned, there are not very many absolute rights and wrongs – only a host of related behaviors along a…

What does being a sub mean?

I will also write what being a sub does not mean – click here. It intrigues me to visit and read sites by other BDSM bloggers and see how their relationships work. I am amazed by the diversity of opinion and thought on the matter of what BDSM is, and what it is not. Fortunately there is room for differing opinions and no one seems to feel that their way is the only way (with the possible…

While I’m not a stickler for perfect realism in my fiction (written or visual), I like it to at least give lip service to something believable. So where kinky things are concerned, the motivations and responses of the partners shouldn’t completely insult my intelligence. If a scene is nonconsensual, then there has to be a reason why the subbie doesn’t just run away yelling her fool head off.…
