If you’re a Feedburner/RSS subscriber and haven’t been receiving your email updates, please take a moment to let me know, here in the comment section. A few folks have emailed to say that they’ve not received their email updates and I’m working hard to figure out why. Your feedback will make things easier. Also, if you’ve been experiencing feed outage and find that you’re now receiving updates, let me know that, too, otherwise I won’t know when I’ve gotten the damn thing fixed.
Thanks,

Readers,
As with most things, if I see the word ‘spanking’ I’m likely to pay a bit more attention. Here again is a case of semi-relation to our peccadillo, as one of our common English phrases contains the word which makes us all tingle:
I found this recent article, posted on Grammarist.com, about the origins of the phrase (below copied directly from linked article):
The phrase brand spanking new means to be entirely new or recently created, and was first recorded in 1860. It evolved from the compound word brand-new and the phrase spick-and-span. Also, spanking, while the main definition is to hit someone on the butt, can also mean to move quickly. So one might say that a brand spanking new object was created quickly or appeared very fast. In truth, no one knows quite how it was coined or what it originally referred to.
This idiom is not officially recognized in most dictionaries, and as such does not have an official spelling. Most instances are hyphenated, since the phrase is used as a compound adjective. Though since hyphens in general are on the decline, an argument could be made for not using them. There are some publications which prefer hyphenating brand-spanking and not new, so that it is new that is being modified.
In the end, it is personal preference since this idiom is informal.
Example:
What better way to do it than whilst wearing a brand spanking new pair of kickers.
Although the example says ‘brand spanking new pair of kickers’, my spanko brain immediately turned the last word into ‘knickers’….works better my way, don’t you think?..

Everyone,
‘The Chief’ over at Spanking Blogg is holding a fun nomination/voting for annual spanking awards. Seems that this is something another blogger has done in the past, but since they’ve apparently given it up, The Chief is going to be hosting the vote this year.
He’s asked that folks share the link so that he can get as many participants as possible, so click HERE to read the original post, and leave your picks in the comments section of his blog. I’m not sure how much longer you’ll be able to nominate your favorites, so get over there in a hurry if you want to participate. Otherwise, I believe that the actual voting comes after that, and there’ll be a reasonable period of time to vote. The Chief says you can also email him your nominations if you don’t want to post your preferences publicly.
I’m going to add my votes now.~
A couple weeks ago, The Independent published an article titled, “Role play, bondage and spanking: How we view the sex lives of politicos”, sharing a few spicy statistical excerpts from a book called, “‘Bedroom Politics: Party Images”.
Quoting the Independent article, “The British public believes Ukip supporters are bad in bed, Labour supporters are best, Lib Dems are boring and Conservatives are into spanking, according to a revealing new book.”
While I’m in no way qualifying the below statistics and have no way to confirm their accuracy – and also (probably shamefully) do not know a darned thing about the makeup of the British political landscape – the word ‘spanking’ is included in one of the graphs, so it’s worth looking at:

Readers,
Oftentimes when talking with my fellow spankos, the subject of spanking videos comes up – naturally. Lots of my friends refer to spanking videos as ‘spanking porn’, and I’ve even done so on a couple of occasions. However, I don’t consider most spanking videos that I watch to be porn at all, so I’m not sure how exactly a non-sex impact fetish video becomes ‘porn’.
Is it because of the nudity? No, there’s all kinds of non-sexual nudity in the world, all the time. Is it the hitting? Of course not. Hitting is rarely eroticized outside the BDSM community, I’d imagine(?). So what is it about nude + hitting that = porn?
I know, I know..there’s lots of spanking-sex videos out there, and I’m not averse to those even though they’re usually not my taste (I like my spanking and sex videos served separate most of the time); I’m talking here about straight up, domestic discipline videos and/or corporal punishment videos …are they porn? Are they spanking porn? Do you use the term, or find it unfitting?
By taking a look at search engine ratings, the term ‘spanking porn’ is searched many hundreds of times more, exponentially, than the term ‘domestic discipline’ or ‘adult spanking’ – is there a crossover with mainstream sex and adult video here, do you think? Are ‘vanilla’s’ interested in spanking too, when it’s wrapped up in an otherwise vanilla porn video? I don’t imagine that a whole lot of non-spankos spend their time running down strictly-spanking videos, but maybe I’m way off the mark here. (Sadly, not a lot of non-spankos are running down spanko blogs either, so we’ll likely not get much input on the subject from the 99.997%.)
But there’s always us, and I’m always curious about your opinions on any and all things spanking – and so are your fellow readers, so leave your two cents in the comments section and let’s have a Conversation!

Okay kiddos, it’s been a crazy busy month and I’ve not had as much time to work on the blog as I’d like. As further proof, the below Myspace throwback Survey, an attempt at low-level amusement.

Whats your favorite Kind of pie?
Pie isn’t high on my list of things to eat, but we always had Sweet Potato pie at Thanksgiving, which I loved. But only on Thanksgiving.
Who’s your favorite band/singer?
We covered favorite songs recently, but favorite band/singer is a bit more difficult, don’t you think? I dunno if there’s a particular band or singer to whose work I’m particularly dedicated. I do love just about everything from Sublime to 50 Cent to Alison Krauss.
Favorite fruit?
Blackberries.
Favorite sport?
Does chasing people around the sofa count as a sport? If so, count me in. Otherwise, I could not possibly care less about sports of any kind. I’d rather ride the bench.
Favorite color?
Black.
Favorite accessories?
This is where I diverge from the typical feminine archetype – I own a total of three pair of earrings, one (black) purse, and very little else in the way of accessories. High Femme I am not.
Do you collect anything?
This may quite possibly be the dorkiest thing I do : I collect stamps.
What do you spend most of your money on?
Primarily travel and cat food.
Do you read?
There is never, ever a time that I’m not part-way through at least one book.
Are you sad about Michael Jackson’s death?
Is this a trick question?
Have you ever been to a concert?
A few. I’m not a huge-crowd-crashing-music type person for the most part. I DID, however, once drive several hours to see Little Richard perform.
Do you go on youtube?
Yes, and would love it if folks would stop posting up cute cat videos so I can get some real work done.
Can you apply Mascara with your mouth closed?
Absolutely not.
Have you ever broken a bone? if so how many?
Several. Mostly phalanges.
Do you text people often?
I’d rather text than talk on the phone, but I’d rather email than text. I’d rather cut off my left thumb than video chat, by the way.
Are you a runner?
I wouldn’t run if someone were trying to chase me.
Would you ever get a tattoo?
Umm…
Whats the song that describes your life most?
Carnival. Natalie Merchant. Hands down.
Hasn’t everyone?
What do you wish to accomplish before you die?
How much time do you have? Moving to Mexico is tops on the list (so add learning fluent Spanish); visiting Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat and Red Square; shopping in Seoul; eating my way through Latin America; writing at least one real, in-print, big publishing house book (whether it sells or not is inconsequential); funding and operating a domestic animal rescue and reserve; retiring at fifty. Oh, and living for another 98 or so years.
Are you afraid of death?
Nope, just the part preceeding it.
Are you having a good year?
I’m here, aren’t I?
Do you forget things easily?
What was the question?…
Are you overly truthful?
It’s my job to be overly truthful.
Do you like the heat?
Bring on the heat. Anything below 70 degrees fahrenheit is unacceptable and practically inhumane.
Have you ever met a celebrity?
A fair few. I’ve yet to find one who is anything more or less than you or I.

Everyone,
I’ve written previously about my sweet service boy, Paul, who’s been my playmate, friend, and all-round fix-it guy for the last several years; Paul’s one of my most favorite people and has the chance to visit me here several times a year, but never for long enough. He’s also a great artist and spends a lot of time drawing pretty/smart/funny things for me. I had to share the below with you all, as the sentiment is just so damn sweet.
(He never draws in my face, and I’m convinced it’s because he knows he’d get another beating if he made my nose too big…)
Have a great day.~

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.
