Exploring the spankosphere

One of the lovely things about writing here for (almost) five years has been forming such close links – online and for real – with so many other bloggers, including many folks who’ve been regular contributors here prior to (and since!) setting up their own sites.

As a result, we have a wonderful community of online friends – pretty much all of whom link to one another. And I’ve perhaps become lazy when it comes to seeking out newer blogs – scarcely, as it is, having time to read all of the ones that already feed into my Google Reader.

So I’ve passed a pleasant few hours in recent weeks, in hotels and airport lounges, making myself follow links a little more randomly than usual, in search of a few spanking blogs that we haven’t linked to previously – and which some of you might not have come across either.

Here goes with a few that I liked – with a warning that some are NSFW, so be careful where and when you click!

• A Libertine’s Spanking (http://victorianspanking.blogspot.com/) (I confess that I rather prefer the phrase in the URL – “VictorianSpanking” – to the “Libertine” title)
• “Notes from the workshop” (http://notesfromtheworkshop.wordpress.com/) by our friend Ian of The London Tanners (whose products come especially highly recommended)
• “Blossom and Thorn”, by Season and Michael (http://seasonandmichael.wordpress.com)
• Fluidity, by Kate (http://loreleikate.wordpress.com/)
• “Rebekah’s Submission” (http://rebekahp-submits.blogspot.com/)
• “Sexuelle”, by Elizabeth Forster (http://perfumedkisses2.blogspot.com/)

One other to particularly recommend is “This Kinky Life” (http://thiskinkylife.wordpress.com/). This has been around since 2008, but it’s been updated by Emma Enchanted (a regular commenter here) rather more regularly of late, and is well worth reading.

If there are any other blogs out there that you write – or read – that you’d like to add to the list of recommendations, please do comment!
