High flying

I used to write quite a lot of CP fiction but in recent times I've been struggling to write creatively.  However, very recently, I had a long flight and was fortunate to be in Business Class.  The flight wasn't busy so after take-off I was able to move so as to have nobody seated next to me and it seemed a good opportunity to do some writing - laptop out, shrink the magnification so I can just read the text on screen, reload a half written story - the rest of the flight was very happily occupied.  I wonder what my fellow passengers would have thought if they'd known?

Favourite for September

In a week that has seen the publication of a major survey in the UK that showed practically 50% of parents of 20% of schoolkids think it would be beneficial to bring back corporal punishment in schools, I thought this was an appropriate image.

It seems to me to convey potentially a very authentic image of what it may have been like for a schoolgirl to get caned on her bottom - I know it would have always been an incredibly rare even but showing it from this angle it's perfectly possible that her skirt hasn't been turned up or her panties lowered - the movement of the cane suggests some degree of force being applied and the expression on the girl's face confirms her anguish. No attractive young girl could really want to see pictures of her face looking like that but clearly the pain of the caning is the only thought on her mind at this moment.

I'm not sure of the source or the model - looks like it might be from the Xerotics stable perhaps?

Blue Mile

One of the big conservation groups has an event today encouraging everyone to do something in or around water,

"Through The Blue Mile, WWF is raising money to protect these amazing environments.  We’re asking people to move a mile on or near water in return for sponsorship from family and friends. You can do this any way you want: swim or surf, kayak or water-ski, walk or run..."

I have an idea...

School PE

After I left school, I discovered (rather late in the day perhaps) that I could enjoy participating in sport.  School PE only ever filled me with dread for three reasons...

Familiar combination to anyone?

Gordon Sergeant

Simply astonishing that this news didn't get greater prominence in our community:-

Gordon Sergeant, British Spanking Magazine Publisher, Dies          

LONDON—Gordon Sergeant, the founder of soft porn Janus magazine and its accompanying bookstore on Old Compton Street, died in May at the age of 83. Sergeant launched Janus in 1972 as a traditional publication narrowly focused on the practice of spanking. Still in print and online, Janus continues to feature articles, photographs, illustrations and comic strips, including by such artists as Anton, Hardcastle and Lynn Paula Russell, aka Paula Meadows.

The Janus website, which was redesigned in March, contains a statement posted May 11 on the passing of Sergeant, who died peacefully in his sleep in London.

“It is with the deepest regret that we must inform you of the death of Gordon Sergeant,” the statement reads. “Many of you will have happy memories of Gordon and appreciate the tireless efforts he made during his life to champion the rights of free minded adults to enjoy the pleasures of corporal punishment. …

“Gordon suffered a series of strokes and realising that his time on this earth was short, appointed his nephew, Tarquin, to oversee a dramatic new era for Janus,” the statement concludes. “His vision was to re-launch Janus onto the internet to reach further than ever before. Tarquin already has many exciting plans including new Janus videos, an exclusive club and parties. Gordon died peacefully in his sleep safe in the knowledge that his beloved creation will continue to prosper in the 21st century.”

A sad passing - I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that I owe a huge debt to JANUS for helping me explore my early understanding of spanking fetish, and through the magazine and the wonderful shop come to appreciate that my interests - while not exactly mainstream - did not make me some sort of freak of nature and that many others shared my interests.

RIP Gordon.

What happened next?

There's a long running sports quiz on UK television with one regular round where they show a video of some sporting action and then freeze the picture and the teams have to either remember or try to work out what happened next.

It strikes me that you can actually try this with still images as well.  For example this picture of Italian model and TV personality Alessia Fabiani on a beach greeting her boyfriend (presumably) who's been playing a game with some of his friends while he waited for her.

The question, of course, is....

What happened next?

Has someone lost the plot?

When a school in an American state often crticised for over-use of corporal punishment tries a different approach they seem to end up looking dafter than ever - I just happened across this report recently and assume nobody could have made it up:-

A Texas girl was overheard saying "are you trying to start shit" to another student. She was sent to the principals office, given lunch detention, and then the next day fined $637. She's taken on a waitressing job to pay the fine.

Is this what passes for progress?

Favourite for August

Sometimes the moment I see one image I have an entire story in my head about what's happening and this is an example of just such a case.

"It wasn't the first time Jodie had been in trouble for being rude and answering back to a teacher - she's been snet to the head once before about it.  He'd given her a real dressing down and almost had her in tears.  Now she was being sent back again she at least felt she knew what to expect and thought she'd handle it better.  On the other hand she needed to appear a bit upset and contrite - she didn't want him writing to her mother or giving her a detention because then it would be hard to prevent her mother finding out that she'd been in trouble.  She knew it wasn't going to be much fun but she can handle it and on a positive note it had got her out of double maths that she hated.

She reported to the headmaster's secreary as instructed - the secretary checked a note in the diary, ticked an entry and then opened a desk drawer.  In the next seconds, Jodie's life seemed to come apart as the secretary took out a thick lather strap and held it out to the shocked girl.  She told Jodie to take it with her and have a seat outside his office and that he'd call her in when he was ready for her.

Jodie did as she was told in silence but her legs were shaking.  She'd never thought of the possibility of gettting the strap and now it seemed to be a certainty. She'd never actually heard of another girl getting the strap although she knew a few lads had got it in the past.  What would it be like?  Would she be able to cope?  Would he write to her mother to inform her that he'd had to strap her daughter?  Would the other pupils in her class find out?  She realised she wasn't even sure how he used the strap - presumably it was on the hands rather than the bottom?  She wasn't sure at all.  She had nearly an hour to sit there waiting in mounting anxiety before he called her in...."

After the London riots...

"Right young lady!  Now, I understand from your mother that you were out rather late last night.  She also tells me that when you finally came home you had a pair of new trainers, some new earrings and other jewellery and a half empty bottle of white wine.  I know it was the wrong night for late-night shopping so I'm going to need an explanation from you right now.  You'd better think of a good account of how this situation came about, or else I'll tell you what I think has been going on here.  And if my version comes out as the more likely, then I've got someone here waiting to deal with you..."

Marked Butts

I only came across the Marked Butts website recently but I'm amazed it isn't much better known - it seems to have some really great original material with a distinctive style.

The girls are pretty good looking - not typical glamour models perhaps but certainly the girl-you-wished-lived-next-door looks.  They tend to be slim, tend to be late teens or early twenties and there are no attempts to use uniforms, or hairstyles or anything to suggest they are anything other than what they really are.

They are contemporary and authentic using a mixture of relationships between the girl being punished and her punisher - the latter can be parents, boyfriends, older sisters, roommates or whatever.  The clothing is just the sorts of things girls like that wear today.  Some punishments (like this) are over clothing but many are over just knickers or bare bottoms and those bottoms do get turned from very pale to very red.

The reactions of the girls suggest they are really being punished - they can't keep still and they cry real tears and beg.  I've never understood why some CP websites seem to confuse the (essential) need to have the consent of the girl with the (non-essential) idea that they have to be seen to be enjoying it - at least when you're claiming to show a punishment.

This is definitely not one of those sites when you think it's all being staged for the camera and he's not really hitting her properly - these girls get long and very hard real chastisements that would have left them feeling very sore indeed.

There are a number that claim to show girls having their first ever experience of a spanking like the delightful Raynette shown on the left here.  Well, if that is true, I think some of them must have found the experience to be quite a shock.  Maybe they confused the idea of s spanking with a child getting an odd swat from a parent and imagined at their age it wouldn't be something that would trouble them.  Instead they are subjected to long and very much "meant to hurt" punishment.

I wonder whether some of these girls were perhaps hard-up students who came across a way to make a bit of extra money without doing anything too "adult" in nature and thought it would either be a bit of a laugh of at least something with no lingering effects.  If so, I bet that many ended up regretting ever signing that consent form as they discovered what a proper spanking was really like - that could explain why many don't seem to appear in more than one video!
