I spent a little time trying to find something like ‘the best spanking blogs’ to give everyone a bit more to read re: TTWD. Sadly, I found nothing of the sort (and am in no position to be compiling one). Nobody seems to be interested in generating a list of the ‘best’ spanking/fetish blogs, and I can’t imagine how much work would go into figuring out which statistics to use in order to do so. I did find a couple listings for ‘best bdsm blogs’ but sadly none of them was current.
There ARE hundreds of spankos who blog, and I’m sure that you’re aware of Erica Scott, Christy Cutie, Alex Reynolds, Chross’ blog, and Spanking Bloggers Network (aggregate). You’re probably aware of lots more, too, and wouldn’t it be cool if there were a statistical/ordered list of them all? Eh., well.
Not to be deterred from avoiding any real work or progress today, I decided to check out ‘best sex blogs’ and got a whole other thing entirely – lots of well-thought-out lists of bloggers who talk about all kinds of sex topics (occasionally spanking). I noticed several that showed up again and again on these ‘best of’ lists and took some time to take a look at a few. While, again, you won’t find much spanking going on in these places, there are some very *interesting* articles.
(The below are NSFW, but if you’re here already then you probably don’t care.)
Ask Dan and Jennifer – Calling itself “today’s number one love and sex resource”, the site is pretty much a pantheon of love and sex advice, tips, talk, and discussion. You could literally spend days wandering around here.
Susie Bright’s Journal – If you’re not familiar with Susie Bright (Sexpert, Writer, Actor/Producer/Editor, Performance Artist, Activist, etc.), you’re missing out. Seriously. She’s a sex-positive legend.
Dick-n-Jane.com – From the site: “Dick and Jane is a site for sexy couples…” Everything from entertainment and toy reviews to erotic photos, stories, and a ‘fantasy box’ at Dick-n-Jane, including a simple and easy to navigate blog-style layout.
Curvaceous Dee says, “I am an exhibitionist with my words, my skin and my sexy times. Free with kisses, compliments, and friendship. Open with my heart, passions, and laughter.” Dee is a kinky, sex-forward lady with a very active (and explicit!) blog ranging on a huge array of topics.
The Spanking Writers Blog – Remember when I said ‘only occasionally’? The Spanking Writers Blog is the exception to that rule, obviously. From the site, “A literary spanking blog, updated by Abel Jenkins every other day since March 2006.” And they’re not kidding. This is certainly the most comprehensive spanking story site I’ve seen (almost all, if not totally, M/f).
Sugarbutch Chronicles – Sinclair, the owner of Sugarbutch, identifies as “a feminist dominant, identity theorist, strap-on expert, and poet.” Lots of great information, advice, and stories on queer sex, kink, and bdsm.
My Tiny Secrets appears at first glance to be what someone with my limited romance vernacular would call ‘woo-woo’, but blog owner Adina makes topics like “Conscious Sexuality” and “Intimate Beauty” sound like interesting future reading.
Smut for Smarties – Elle Chase, also known as Lady Cheeky for her VERY NSFW photoblog LadyCheeky.com, writes everything from erotica to reviews to relationship advice on this award-winning blog. Even if it wasn’t great (which it is), I’d still love the name.
Okay, okay, enough of that. Pull your minds back out of the gutter or before you get a spanking.
