The future of spanking (2)

A few reactions to my previous comment on the future of spankings -some direct and some here. I guess part of my thinking is that undoubtedly I was affected by being at school in an era when corporal punishment still happened but what works for me in videos, photo-fantasies etc. is already very much towards the modern end of things. I don't get much reaction usually to historical pieces, maids outfits, and even (shock, horror!) to stockings and suspenders. I emphasise usually because it can sometimes work for me - for example a story with a modern girl dressing in stockings and suspenders while "on the pull" being brought to book by an angry father/boyfriend/husband. I do like adults role-playing schoolgirl scenarios but the more contemporary the dress the better and ideally I like it where either the author has imagined a time in the near future when corporal punishment has been re-established in schools and the home, or perhaps where a girl accepts an unofficial punishment rather than face the consequences of the properly prescribed outcome. Also, while on the odd occasion I've stumbled across something on the web that appears non-consensual, it's just sickened me, I don't much want to see the girl laughing it off - you know, corporal punishment. The clue's in the name! It's supposed to be a punishment, and even in a role play, the subject should be nervous, ashamed or at least - by the end of it - reduced to a few tears.

The future of spanking (1)

Lying on a beach in the sun, i spent a lot of time thinking about spanking. Something to do with all the scantily clad young nubiles wandering around perhaps...
One of my thoughts was about how things might change in the future for us spankos. After all, if you search through spanking material on the Internet right now it falls into a few particular categories.
There are British schoolgirl scenarios, American schoolgirl scenarios, father daughter OTK spankings, old fashioned master/maid spankings, fun spankings such as birthdays, sorority spankings and paddlings, boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife spankings, plus the odd judicial birching or whipping and... well, actually, I think I've just accounted for more than 90% of what we all seem to enjoy. But they're all based on role playing scenarios we have either heard of happening, imagined could have happened, or occasionally witnessed or been part of, and then embellishing on them. But now corporal punishment is largely banned in schools except in some parts of the USA and some African counties perhaps, and judicial CP is also only found in a very small number of countries, a boyfriend spanking his girlfriend for misbehaviour is liable to need a new girlfriend and a husband spanking his wife is likely to need a solicitor. As for the employer/employee scenarios (traditionally, master/maid) then the HR department will probably get you even quicker than the lawyers. Even fathers and mothers have to face the fact that spanking their spoiled brat of a daughter is rather frowned on, even if she does deserve to be up-ended and given a much needed attitude adjustment by way of her rear end.
So what will feed our imaginations in the future?

Holiday from technology

Well I've just about rebuilt a working computer and recovered as much as I'm ever going to recover. To be honest I'd accumulated a load of rubbish and although I didn't need to be quite as ruthless as this, there was a load I should have trashed before now. So far as things I've written and lost, as I said in the previous post the 5 part saga "The New Society" I'd like to have and I'm still searching for "A cure for gambling". Anyway, I'm off for a week's holiday now with no computer and no Internet...

Damn technology

I've been struggling with my computer since I upgraded to Vista - then the main external hard drive where I store images, videos and stories has crashed. I have qualifications in data recovery but this one has resisted all reasonable attempts to coax it back and I've ended up having to accept that the majority of material that I've accumulated and written over the last 25 years has gone. I've recovered a few of my older stories from Usenet archives, however at one time I published on alt-sex-spanking a series of five stories called The New Society chronicling a girl getting into trouble at school, then with the law in an era when judicial corporal punishment has been reintroduced, and then the same girl ending up working at a state corporal punishment centre. I can only find two of the five parts so if anyone happens to have saved this anywhere I would appreciate getting the full saga back.

Working hard

I've just completed an international business trip with various colleagues from the UK and other parts of my organisation abroad. It's tough. Especially when you have to spend several days with a gorgeous young girl who age-wise could have been my daughter who spent a lot of time telling me of things she'd done at school that were very naughty and also a lot of time describing her school uniform.

I hate my job.

Choosing a UK university

Sod the league tables - look at the social life as seen on the Students Union websites! Essex gets off to quite a promising start with some obviously "skool" based entertainment...
But evidently they're not the only ones, and this looks like my kindof place... And then, at the last moment, in comes Northumbria University. Hmmm!

Are students a waste of space?

There's plenty of people who think so. After all, they cost the rest of us a lot of money, they don't study they miss more classes than they attend, do the bare minimum of work, and they're noisy and drunk most of the time. If that's your viewpoint, you'll probably be as pleased as I was to see one university has now found a use for students. Would that every university offered such a facility.

Real life

I've made reference a few times to the fact that I went to schools in the UK that used corporal punishment before it was banned. Even so it was curiously difficult to really know everything that went on because the most serious punishment were always in private and those on the receiving end were usually reluctant to discuss it. There were lots of beliefs that built up that may have been completely true or just urban myths. One I was always curious about was that it was widely suggested that if you were given three detentions in one term you would automatically get sent to the Deputy Head for a caning. I have no idea whether it was true - I certainly can't recall any teacher every saying it and I never heard of a case where it happened. But it seemed to make sense and most of us believed it. I'd love to know if anyone else went to a school with such a rule. If it did happen at my school then the timing of the caning didn't have any connection with the timing of the detention. I think if I'd been the Deputy Head I'd have wanted to have such a rule but I'd have wanted to have linked the caning to the third detention - either making the miscreant take the caning and then sit in silent discomfort for the duration of the detention without the opportunity to rub it or rush to the loo to look at the marks, or perhaps even more effective to tell them at the start of the detention that they would be caned at the end so they had to sit there with nothing to distract them from thinking about what was to come.

I'm still here!

Long time since I've posted but I'm still around - just very busy. However I couldn't resist pointing to some of the rather unusual punishment implements cropping up on eBay lately.



We're all (those of us who read these sorts of pages I mean) familiar with the idea of wooden paddles with holes in to reduce the air resistance and therefore increase the impact. But I can't recall ever seeing before a tawse given the same treatment. This one claims to be a genuine old punishment strap - I thought the "Made in Scotland" looked a bit suspect but it may well be genuine. I'd be interested if anyone has ever come across anything like this, especially anyone who's been on the receiving end. I imagine it would pack quite a sting. Also wonder if any modern-day makers have tried anything similar?
