The Spanking Writers

I’ve borrowed an office today that has a simply glorious river view. A procession of schoolgirls headed along the towpath this morning en route to their day’s studies; happy couples wander past hand-in-hand at regular intervals (making me think of, and miss, Haron).

There’s a high wall at one point on the riverbank. As I look down now, a cute young lady can be seen sheltering almost out of sight of the office, puffs of smoke rising heavenwards.

I’m given to break from my work and contemplate a somewhat different style of employer. Smoking is strictly forbidden; the company disciplinary is much more… traditional.

The HR Director looks out from his office window, catching sight of the miscreant. “Amanda,” he says to his PA, “would you be so kind as to ask security to bring the young lady who’s smoking to my office. And might you fetch the junior cane from the cupboard?”

Over on the Punishment Book Natty has started a great discussion about the need for real-life punishment, and the inner blocks many women stumble upon when it comes to reconciling this with their feminist ideals.

In my case the reconciliation took about four seconds many years ago. I’ve been into spanking since I was born, an aware, active spanko for 9 years - and a feminist for only the last 5 years or thereabouts. When I mentally auditioned the feminist ideology to decide whether it was something I identified with, I made a mental check to see whether it was compatible with my fundamental inner needs.

In the case of my punishment kink, it went somewhat like this: “Can I identify as a feminist and still be accountable for my behaviour if I so choose, to any man or woman? Yes, I can. Check.” It’s a little simplistic, but overall, that’s how it happened, and it’s never worried me since.

The same reconciliation has not been as easy for many women - particularly, I suspect, for those who were doing it the other way around: those who were feminists first, and became aware of their spanking/punishment kink later.

This is what the conversation on the Punishment Book is about. The comments to the entry rock my world (there have been 24 comments so far, and we haven’t started fighting yet). If this is an issue that’s close to your heart, come and join us.

Whilst wartime anecdotes usually fall on just the wrong side of the kink/squick line for me, a phrase in a post from Hilary at the JCP-Female Yahoo group some time ago was sufficiently distant to be of interest. Discussing the Special Operations Executive, she recalled a lesson from her school days:

A schoolgirl friend, had stated that she “would not give away her friends” no matter how she was tortured! The old French teacher asked, very dryly - “Well - imagine you are in the deepest cellar of a prison, completely bared, and fastened across a table for what you had been told was going to be the soundest of thrashings. Tell me, my dear - How many strokes of the strap or cane do you think it would take before you were willing to tell everything you knew?!” It shut my friend up - and the rest of us too - imagining!

And me!

Oh, the joys of internet translation. By a miracle of modern technology, one can now read Japanese blogs in English. I particularly like one called “The book shelf of metamorphosis abnormal (rear end hitting and occult)”.

My favourite post is one called “Genuine span king”. (Hey, I’m king of the spans):

Furthermore the span king in the story it is good and “100 hits” and with the word which is said is made. If the literal it is the case that 100 times it hits the rear end, but as expected it probably is possible what in actuality? Normally when it is “punishment something of the rear end hitting,” it starts crying with several times, although the deep-red tinted autumn leaves come to the surface, 100 times as many as ……. which is all right, with the person who is thought, will think slap will try doing your drill his own rear end in trial…

So, when span king video you see, instead of 100 times 200 times there are some which are continued to hit, it is with the shank. Of course, there is no real thing and discretion is. So, as for the rear end such as that that when you say how it becomes, ……

Deep-red truly, rather than the whole rear end dyes to crimson deeply….Receiving the span king “of the real thing” of the extent where I become such a manner of one time, when like, with you think, furthermore simultaneously, before the eye the bean jam after the rear end hitting is developed, “do you receive?”, that when it is heard, it escapes and becomes the waist it is probably will be.

Maybe the technology isn’t that wonderful, after all. The funny thing is, one can almost see what the writer’s trying to say, and I imagine that the original is quite profound.

The author explains in an earlier post that “I am generally known rear end.” It would be rude to comment.
