Abel's spanking blog & stories
So, we’re chatting late one night with friends, bemoaning the state of the educational system. Seems, for example, that some very bright young things aren’t able to locate certain major countries on a map of the world. Disgraceful!
Yet we proceeded to confess, we older types, that we ourselves might struggle to pinpoint some states that accurately. Where exactly is Guatemala, for example? Guinea? Bhutan or Brunei?
Or Paraguay?
Actually, I asked, does Paraguay even exist? Who’d been there on holiday? Who amongst us owned a CD or book by a Paraguayan artist? Who’d been to a Paraguayan restaurant? Who had Paraguayan friends? If a Paraguayan fell over in a forest, would anyone notice? Anyone shagged a Paraguayan? Spanked (or been spanked by) one?
This final point was deemed to be conclusive by the rather seasoned spanko company present. So I’d like to make the official announcement: Paraguay does not actually exist!
PS I’d love it if someone could post and say hello from a Paraguayan IP address, disproving our theory and telling all about the no-doubt thriving spanking scene there!

Isn’t it one of the only land-locked countries in South America? I think between Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina…

You know, I was kinda surprized. I didn’t look whose post was it, I first thiught it was Haron. Because if she showed such a blazen ignorance, you would certainly become a geography teacher this instant and she probably would be reciting al Paraguayan cities and natural resourses – by heart and with her pants down. But since it’s Abel’s post… Well, I don’t know, there’re good books on Paraguayan history, they tried to build communism (with public floggings) long before USSR, fought their neighbours with help of Russian emigree generals and nazi colonels… Try to read more

@SK: “Blazen ignorance… Try to read more” – or hope that readers will see when a post is being humorous?

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m dreadful at pointing countries out on a map. But I’m also dreadful at finding my way around my own hometown, so it may be less a matter of education and more a matter of being severely directionally challenged
“If a Paraguayan fell over in a forest…” More intriguing to combine it with the next thought and wonder if a Paraguayan were spanked in a forest, would anyone notice? Anyone besides the spankee (and perhaps spanker), of course!

Did you know that if you Google “Paraguayan spanking” the first two pages are almost entirely references to your blog? However, if you sift through a bit you find this little gem:

A spanking guide to Paraguay, including handy translations such as “Can you give me a spanking with your hand” and “No, please don’t take your belt off.”

Of course I see a humorous posting and try to answer accordingly, sorry of it was not as successful as I tried

I don’t know if I count as a bright young thing (after my interview today I feel really, really old!) But I’d agree, I have no idea where paraguay is. Like at all. South America? Africa?

Scarlett, if u dont know where is Paraguqy, go to Wikipedia, for example. The capital of paraguay is Asunción. And the country is in South America. And for the post author, i had a neighboor of Paraguay.

Well, I am a bit late to the discussion, but still it seems I can contribute a bit.
You see, despite the Anglophone handle, I am originally from Latin America and actually grew on the Paraguayan border. I’ve been there on holidays, I own several books by Paraguayan authors (Augusto Roa Bastos being the main national contribution to magic realism, on a par with GarcÃa Márquez, although my own sweet spot is for comic book writer Robin Wood), adore Paraguayan food (which is admittedly hard to find even in Latin America), and can state for a fact that, on falling in a forest, Paraguayans make as much noise as your run-of-the-mill Brazilian or Argentine.
Modesty prevents me from answering the remaining questions, but I’d argue that consensual spanking is not likely to be commonplace in Paraguay, given the unfortunately high prevalence of domestic violence against women. When nonconsensual use of the belt to put one’s partner “in her rightful place” is still rampant, I doubt many people have the chance to eroticise it. Still, I have only had very occasional contact with the decadent upper classes, so the niche might be there without my knowing it.

See what we can do? We’ve proved between us after all that Paraguay does exist!
Thanks for all of the wonderful comments!

There’s a Jimmy Buffett song suggesting that some bad boys sail away to Paraguay. Of course, part of the joke is that Paraquay is one of two countries in South American that’s landlocked.

(This song is actually subtitled “Beware Paraguay” on the album.)
Can any of you name the other landlocked country in SA (without looking)?
