Guide to this blog

The Blogroll is now in three parts. The main part is arranged according to the date the blog was last updated with the most recent first. Many blogs use the BDSMLR platform which does not include date information; they are in a separate Blogroll arranged alphabetically but I check from time to time and remove any that have been permanently closed. The final part is a list of interesting Twitter feeds - again in alphabetical order.

Smacking bottoms

I'll probably get berated for this one but I just wanted to raise the issue.

Every so often, some poor unfortunate gets taken to court and prosecuted because he's given a female acquaintance a smack across her bottom. Now some cases that you read, you can't help but think that they've gone so far that they were asking for a day in court, but there are many times when someone has perhaps misjudged a young ladies likely reaction and given her a friendly pat on the butt where, at the most, he should perhaps have got a slap across the face and where prosecution seems most unreasonable.

I suppose I'm biased because I've done it a number of times and - so far - got away with it. There's been times when I've smacked someone who was just a friend and most times they've laughed it off, and times when I've taken more of a risk by smacking a work colleague. Is it so wrong? What about those out there who enjoy being smacked - have you ever had an unexpected smack on the behind from someone you work with or someone who is just a friend and doesn't know about your interests? How did you react?

I've gotten a few smacks in a work environment and it hasn't bothered me a bit -- not just because I'm a spanko, but because all the people who've swatted me have been coworkers I had a good rapport with. I think it just makes work a little more fun and inviting if you can have a playful relationship with some of your coworkers. For me, it started in high school when I worked at Hardee's. I dated one of the guys who worked there and he was always swatting me (and I was, in turn spraying him with the dish hose). It's happened many times over the years--in many different jobs. Personally, I like it. I probably am a bit biased, though :)

A couple of times in high school random guys (and girls) would come up and slapp my butt. Once a guy did it and when I turned around he shrugged and said his friends gave him a dollar to do it.
