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.

The last post

So, this is it. As I announced a while back, I'm saying goodbye to blogging. When I posted the "Favourite of the month for June" a few weeks ago I expected that I'd make one or two further random posts during the month, but no inspiration came. Perhaps that says it all. I have had a few thoughts that I could imagine working up into a post but it never happened. I do feel a bit sad that this adventure is over but I still believe the tine is right and I'm pleased to be ending the blog on my own terms. There will be no more posts - this is my last goodbye - the blog will be removed in a month or so.

Thank you most sincerely to all those who've posted comments and supported me on this journey. It's been a blast. Now, moving on to other things...

Favourite for June

 

I've always had a thing for school settings for CP scenes. However I've generally veered away from bare bottom scenes as being just too far-fetched, and anyway we all know that in the days when English schools were ruled with a rattan cane girls were much less likely to be caned than boys and when they were it was most commonly applied across the palms of their hands. But, it was certainly not unheard of for a girl to be acned across her bottom. And if she was wearing fairly short skirt and was ordered to bend over for her caning, it is certainly not out of the question that the hem of the skirt might not totally cover the target area and as such might be  in danger of impeding the desired contact. And in that situation, the headmaster might be faced with no real alternative but to use the tip of the cane to flip her skirt up on to her back to allow him to deliver a truly memorable six of the best across her traditional school knickers. Six good hard strokes like that will be something she'll remember for a very long time, and will probably give her considerable reason to reflect on her behaviour. The blur of the cane in this image leaves no room for doubt that she's milliseconds away from experiencing a very fiercely learning pain.

And that, as they say, is that. My final ever favourite of the month. There may be a few more posts this month - who knows. In July there will be no favourite and no posts, and at the end of July the blog will be closed for ever...

Favourite for May

 

If you frequent this blog, you may be surprised by this month's 'favourite' and it is a change from my normal fare.

However, while I mainly enjoy fantasies that are school based, with domestic settings coming second, I'm not totally averse to the odd judicial scene. In the UK, the government didn't abolish the use of judicial corporal punishment until 1948 (even later in Northern Ireland). Of course, it had been restricted to use on males for many years, but in a fantasy version of the UK, one could imagine that a far-sighted government might have decided such sex discrimination was wrong and that girls should be subject to similar penalties to their male counterparts when their behaviour was bad enough.

Until shortly before abolition, the normal practice for a boy to be birched involved them dropping their trousers and underpants and being held across a table or bench (either by straps or by a couple of burly policemen) to have the punishment applied across their bare bottom, so total nudity, as in the scene portrayed here, was not the normal practice. Perhaps it would have been better. It's not very widely known, but during the era when the birch was used for judicial punishment in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, magistrates in Scotland were given the choice of awarding a punishment with either the birch or a traditional Scottish tawse. Perhaps surprisingly, the general consensus was that the tawse was very much the more severe option. While the tawse was most usually applied to the miscreants hands in schools, in the case of judicial punishments it was applied to their bare bottom the same as the birch.

So in the fantasy I'm playing out in my head here, the girl has just been convicted by a court and awarded   eight strokes of the tawse across her bottom. Naked. And very, very hard...

Favourite for April

If only...

If only the UK government hadn't seen fit abolish corporal punishment in al schools in England and Wales from 1999 (2000 in Scotland and 2003 in Northern Ireland. And if only it had been decided that, so long as the cane was retained, it should not be used only on misbehaving boys. And if, in the interests of modernity and equality, the school uniform policy should have specified trousers for both boys and girls.

The we might have had girls bending over, with trousers tightly stretched across their shapely bottoms, to receive six of the best for their transgressions.

Ah well...

About this blog

In January 2007 this blog was born. I'd tried blogging a couple of times with very focussed themes but they didn't really get any traction, so I decided to just do anything and everything related to my fascination for CP. The blogging world has changed a lot in that time and I've enjoyed surveying other blogs that related to my interests. I've had an opportunity to publish a few series of related articles from CP furniture through to the Chinese scene. Then there came the Favourite of the Month feature. Plus an ever expanding blogroll. I branched out into Twitter at a point in the journey as well and I feel that through the blog and Twitter I've got to know some good friends.

Somehow, in 2022, in doesn't seem enough any more. I don't really know what the future holds. What I do know is that it won't include this blog. I just don't have the urge to express myself through this medium any more. I didn't want to be one of those bloggers that just suddenly disappears overnight and leaves everyone wondering why, although I can't really explain why I'm making this move. I have already left Twitter ('though probably nobody has noticed). The blog will continue a little while longer. The very final Favourite of the Month will be on the first of June. I'll continue posting in June as and when things occur to me. There will be no Favourite in July 2022 and no more posts. At the end of July or beginning of August I'll delete the blog for good.

So, it's the start of quite a long goodbye.

Favourite for March

 

There is a timeless simplicity to this one. A classic OTK position for a hand spanking on her bottom. I do like that, even 'though she's currently been allowed to keep her tights and panties on, we can see some redness to her bottom below the panty line so we know the message is getting through.

I remember reading a long time ago (sorry, can't provide a reference or direct quote) a survey about children's experience of corporal punishment at home. By far the largest number of cases that were reported to those conducting the survey concerned the parent spanking with their hands on the child's bottom. Again, in a very large majority of cases, the person being smacked/spanked was male but a significant minority of females had also had such an experience. However, what was very interesting (and I've never seen any other data on this issue) was that they also found that of those who were spanked, it was much more common for girls to have some clothing moved or removed than it was for boys. It makes sense that, where the person to be spanked is wearing a skirt or dress, it is much easier to lift the skirt up than it is to pull trousers down, and once the skirt is lifted, it then becomes relatively easier to pull down the underwear as well if required.

This classic demonstration is provided by Northern Spanking in the form of Stephen Lewis and Irelynn Logeen showing off the perfect position for an OTK spanking. Interestingly, I've realised that I used another Northern Spanking image with a very similar setup as the monthly favourite back in December 2017 so my tastes haven't changed very much since then! I would strongly expect that the two scenes were part of the same shoot with a costume change, and that this one probably came from a series only released as a series of still images.

The Chinese spanking scene (Part 6)

So for the final instalment in my little visit to the Chinese spanking scene, I'll concentrate mainly on...

REACTIONS AND RESULTS

The first thing to say is that they're generally speaking not messing about. They may not go in for the brutality of the material we see coming from Eastern Europe, but they're not very gentle either. I've seen one clip where the girl was lying face down with a bare bottom where she was caned reasonably hard over one hundred times. The girls do usually show a fair amount of realistic reaction. Those lying face down tend to roll from side to side (so far as they're able with any restraints), there's plenty of putting a hand back to the afflicted area, and a lot of whimpering. One would imagine there are tears on many occasions but because we can't be shown the face, it's rarely obvious.

Tightly secured to the bench, but still trying to roll away.

A classic 'bending in' reaction to the impact. Her bottom and upper thighs are mottled with some significant marking from the strap.
This one looks like her bottom is ending up very battered and bruised - probably borderline on whether her skin has been broken.
This one may be trying to roll but she's not escaping a formidable caning - clearly already bruising and it's not over yet.
Another one with a very badly marked bottom - some blistering and very close to breaking the skin.
Rolling as such is possible although that may not provide much benefit.
A significantly marked bottom with a bit of a bullseye effect. She'll have bruises tomorrow for sure.
Two here where the hand has gone back to grasp the afflicted area, like that's going to make much difference to how much it's hurting!
Absolutely classic marking from a traditional firm caning - some of the strokes do seem to have landed a little higher than is really safe.
Another girl laid out on a bed who's going to have some bruises for a few days at least. One of the things I like about the Chinese scene is that the girls don't usually end up with a uniformly red patch on each buttock. The more varied and mottled look with some strokes landing harder than others always seems more authentic to me.
You can sense this girl's body tensing as a hard cane stroke lands on a very sensitive area.
A great example of the more uneven marking it looks like she's been given a very thorough thrashing with the strap and the greater marking on her left buttock suggest the person giving her the punishment was standing to her right.
This one looks as if she's been given a relatively light punishment over a large area of her bottom but then some very hard cane strokes have been added. No doubt that some of those cane lines will be with her for a week or so and several days after the general redness has faded.
Again a very realistic mottled marking from a good thrashing which she's going to be feeling.
And here we have a wooden paddle giving her vulnerable bottom a hard lesson that will be marked for a few days at the very least.
This looks to me to be another one who has been given a bit of a widespread warm-up followed by some really hard swats with a paddle leading to a significantly blistered rear.
If this girl's skin isn't broken after her experience of a traditional Chinese judicial-style paddling I'd be very surprised. It would certainly have hurt a good deal and would have been quite a noisy affair.
Rolling in reaction to the pain of a belting may be counter productive. This girl seems to be getting some marking a very sensitive places from the tip of the strap wrapping around.
The ones above just provide more examples of the sort of things I've already pointed out.
I do really like this girl! She has as super bum, it's very red and sore, she's whimpering from the start and by the end she's really crying her eyes out.
More classic reaction and authentic marking.
This one is a bit more like we often see from the Western spanking scene - the redness is suspiciously uniform and covers an area going rather higher than you could safely inflict really serious punishment.

This one is interesting - although she's currently getting a fairly broad belt across the middle of her panties, the vicious mark on her right thigh that is already turning into a bruise look to have come from a narrower instrument - maybe even a cane.
If you wanted one image that shows how girls on the Chinese scene end up being marked it could be this. She's been caned, she been strapped, she's been paddled, It's very, very sore and she'll have marks for several days at least.
Sometimes, a cold towel is the only thing to reach for!

Unusual

Finally, I wanted to draw attention to a few shots that are unusual in one way or another (although some of these have already featured in this series).
Remember this self-spanking scene? It's the only self-spanker I've seen on Chinese sites and it stands out mainly for the unusual way of protecting her identity. But it's also unusual because there are very few fully nude images out there.
This is unusual because I have seen very few Chinese scenes where the girl is being punished on the palms of her hands. The positioning of the hands side by side may suggest they're not really used to the best ways of delivering punishment like this. Her palms do look quite red 'though which isn't too easy to achieve. The setting is either a pretty downmarket hotel or maybe the girl's own bedroom - it has a feeling of being a fairly amateurish scene, maybe with a girlfriend/boyfriend playing around.
Swimsuits and leotards are used very rarely on spanking sites so that, in itself, make this unusual but - at least as far as when this image was taken - this looks like a pretty mild punishment.
Caning the front of the thighs, as well as being painful, is relatively rare although not unseen on Western sites. However, I think this is the first time I've seen the girl being made to take the caning while kneeling which minimises her scope for moving and means she will get to see the marking as it develops.

I hope you've enjoyed this ramble through an interesting and emerging genre that has some quite unique characteristics. Of course, there are plenty of spanko videos featuring ethnically Chinese players that have been made outside of China, but the ones that are coming from inside are particularly interesting.

The most obvious thing that stands out is the measures they take to protect the anonymity of the players - I would reckon that a good half shoot the camera angle so that the girl is only seen from the neck down while others hide their face in long hair or pillows. Secondly, the vast majority seem to have been shot in hotel rooms and quite often in what would be fairly expensive hotel suites. Without English subtitles there may be some question marks - I have seen a few where the scene seems to start out on a fully consensual basis but as they progress you might begin to wonder if the girl would put a stop to the punishment if only she didn't risk having her face appear on camera by doing so. The vast majority of scenes I've seen have no text about the age of the players being over 18 and most Westerners will struggle to be totally sure that the players are of legal age. The youth of the girls is further enhanced by a total absence of tattoos in everything I've seen so far.

There are a variety of implements used - less hand spanking than we might expect perhaps but the addition of the unusual long Chinese paddles make for some extra variety. There are very few scenes where the players seem to have dressed specifically for the scene - generally they're just wearing (or removing) their ordinary street clothes which I rather like because you think of them going outside again afterwards without those they pass in the street having any idea how marked their bottoms are under those clothes. And there doesn't seem to be very much story telling - there might be the odd one where the girl behaves a bit bratty and gets brought down to earth and the scene I referred to a couple of times where the girl gets her shorts shredded with a sjambok is supposed to be a secret agent who is punished for failing her mission, but these really are exceptions. Often it just seems to be a bit of fun between a boyfriend and girlfriend.

The quality of the videos is generally quite good but not right up there with the best we get to see these days - that will probably change, although I fear that producers will find it even harder then their Western counterparts when it comes to monetising their output to enable reinvestment. However, the scene moves on. Since I compiled this six part package of seen a newer video where there is a disclaimer at the start in English saying that all those taking part are aged 21 or over and the person carrying out the punishment is female as well - and yet, even without the company logo, it is unmistakably part of this ongoing genre.

The Chinese spanking scene (Part 5)

POSITIONS

We'll start today's survey with a quick look at positions. Apart from the stretched out on the floor position noted in the previous section (and covered again here in the fourth and fifth images), they are pretty well all ones we're already familiar with... Standing on a chair to be caned on backs of the legs (third image) is largely an Asian-only style, but the rest could have come from any Western spanko producer. Most of the times they have the girl lying face down on the floor (and often when she's lying face down on the bed) they use pillows or cushions to raise her bottom. While that might be seen to assist the person administering the punishment, I would imagine that lying on a hard cold wooden or tiled floor (as in the fifth image) would be very uncomfortable.


BONDAGE

Next we'll take a quick look at scenes with a little bit of bondage involved - again it's interesting that some of these are very improvised but others appear to involve purpose made products. There is a lot of use of beds (obviously) and hotel luggage stands. Some of the girls are secured by ordinary belts or scarves, and the eighth image here shows someone who has made some imaginative use of clingfilm... But some also appear to use items made for the market such as the bed-mounted restraints (images 3, 9 & 10) and the spreader bar (image 11) and handcuffs (image 14).

RELATIONSHIPS

Lastly, for today, a very quick look at the relationship between the girl being punished and the male carrying out the punishment (I struggled to find any examples of girls carrying out the punishments). Without any English language subtitles, it's quite difficult to fully understand what we're being presented with.

Quite a few do appear to be commercial transactions - we see a girl being ushered into a room by a female assistant, the girl is sitting at a desk having some sort of contract explained to her - the female assistant then leads her into position and secures her and finally we see the girl being escorted from the hotel room. These come from a number of different clips but follow a common pattern.
Rather more appear to be a boyfriend/girlfriend just having a bit of fun and filming it. This probably accounts for a good majority of the scenes, but, as I say, without a translation it has to largely be guesswork.

And you do need to be careful - this last scene I thought looked like a boyfriend dealing with his bratty girlfriend, until I noticed another female hand briefly appear on the near side of the bed.
