Sixty strokes

The late-night caning I gave Emma Jane recently when we caught up on one of my rare visits home between back-to-back business trips was, for me, such a perfect piece of play that I’ve been struggling to capture it in words. Yet the mental images of it are so, so clear that they make me smile whenever I permit myself the distraction of looking back.

We’d had a lovely evening, curled up close on the couch. Bedtime drew near – actually, it being a school night, bedtime was probably long past – and EJ was clear: “I want a caning.”

I picture her bending over in front of my cane rack, hands on her knees, her pyjama bottoms pulled down to bare her backside for the strokes. Six with each of the six canes: hard but not brutal. Picture her: vulnerable to the caning, yet utterly empowered, being beaten because she wanted to be (and, mutually, because I so wanted to do so). Picture her: so beautiful. Picture her: increasingly striped and red. Hear her: discussing the relative merits of each of the cane. Not punishment; not roleplaying – but personal, connecting, loving. Fun. Painful.

Once she’d chosen her favourite of the six, she positioned herself tight over the end of the bed. The twelve strokes that followed were much harder than their predecessors, leaving delightful weals. And then, as we chatted and hugged and as the camera came out, she suggested that the pale gap between the highest stroke and the one below needed filling in. It took another dozen to colour her perfectly, making sixty strokes in all.

For me, it was perfect: lovely, spontaneous, intense and trusting play with a girl I adore. I count myself a very, very lucky man sometimes.

    It was a really fun scene! And so unlike me to want to play during the week. Ha, as for my favourite, it was actually the most painful one too; the ideal combination of whip and thud. A very sore girl departed your house the next morning!

    I love the photo from that session – is a video available, too?

    Hans – you make it sound like we’re a commercial outfit! The photos I take when we play are very much for the personal enjoyment of those involved, some of whom sometimes choose to share them on their own blogs (as I don’t post pictures here). But they’re not stills from videos.
