Spanking: Classic Or Dud?

I went to boarding school, you know.

(OK no, full story: every time I see Alex T he says he is going to start this thread and he never does because he's too busy on the lit crit thread (say). So here it is to give us something to talk about in Edinburgh).

This forum has reached rock bottom.

You will have a rock bottom after too many spankings.

Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

In that case (hitting rock bottom): DUD. Spanking's only good when there's some cushion. Still don't understand the homoerotic hypocrisy re: sports & fanny slaps. But that's another issue.

I can't see getting a severe paddling doing much for my libido, regardless of who held the paddle. And I do NOT understand fraternity / sorority obsessions with paddling. And the paddle machine in school was a bitch. Therefore, severe paddling gets a 9.5 on the DUD scale. (The Russian judge, he likes it. Those wacky Communists...)

Its sad when one is not into a fetisah to see poepl ehwo are. I just think "how can it sbe good?"

Spanking your kids: CLASSIC Spanking for kinky sexiness in the bed: DUD.

Spanking, pffff. Try real abuse sometime, bastards. Punching, kicking, biting, that sort of thing.

Ally, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Equation of consensual s and m with domestic abuse = a very dodgy Dud, I think.

Tom, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

At the free-jazz picnic I forgot to mention to one and all that the SM Pride march and meet was happening just DOWN THE ROAD (in the Conway Hall, to be precise).

The half dozen ppl I know — only know a bit — whose sexuality is SM rather than, y'know, homo, het etc, are all gentle, friendly Tops. Very sorted as to who they are and what they want: the most committed (aged mid-60s, whips for a living) is a sweetheart, tho actually a little dull as a person. Perhaps cuz he's so unjudgmental? Bottoms are by all accts a heap more difficult to deal with, very controlling and sly.

Spanking = GRATE as device in fan fiction. "Damon's/Giles's/Janeaway's red little buttocks shivered and squirmed as Jarvis/ Willow/7of9..." etc etc (but is this because it's hot, or just because it's hilarious?) I have zero experience of spanking in RL, save one sharp no-fun leg-slap from Mrs Boyce when five, and as of this moment plan getting no further.

(Mrs Boyce = my first ever teacher, but as I don't know her first name, I can't work her into my porn name nohow...)

I'm, um, NOT equating it with domestic abuse, Tom. I'm saying it's not even remotely real S&M. It's dull uninteresting safe bullshit.

But I'm fucked up anyhow, keep on about boarding school paddles.

Ally, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Snobbery re. "safety" and "vanilla" among S/M dabblers = even bigger Dud ;)

But sorry for misunderstanding, Ally. It's an equation I've come across before (and is scarier for obviously containing a grain of truth)

Tom, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Didn't Mick Farren "create" the Julie Burchill we know and love by luring her aged 17 into his whip-kissed web of sin? T.Parsons saw the bruises jumped over a desk, punched MF (who immediately EMIGRATED: some punch), whisked JB off to be his ladylove and winsome bride? She spends the next [x] years slapping at horrible hippies in print. Then post-divorce sniping between her and TP just gets TOO boring, and she resurrects MF as the real love of her life compared to vanilla TP (in print again: MF is far away, and she of course is proto-goff dark-eyed skinny lovely no more...)

It's a tragedy! It's a comedy! It's...

Nor is this the only SM in the rock-press story I know, but the one I remember next best — which features [male: no hints given], as dog on a leash walked by [female: no hints given], both all in rubber – relates to someone that unlinked sad things later happened to...

Is it worse to spank or to let kids run amok?

Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Problem is, it's not an either/or. Spanked kids may very well run amok.

Tom, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Discipline != spanking. Never that cut & dry. (Forgive me, Tom, if I'm stepping on your toes. Unless you like that sort of thing, you cheeky monkey...)

David Raposa, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

WHat about threatening your kids with the music of Puff Daddy if they act up?

Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That's just wrong. Stop, drop, & roll.

David Raposa, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I just like spanking kids. Little fuckers.

Nude Spock, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Housemate's bedroom directly next to living room. Late nite TV = impossible because of slappppy soundz emanating. Rises above even bedroom ghetto blaster. I always wonder if it's Lydia getting slapped or "Bun", her boyfriend. Lydia's hairbrush now endowed with creepy significance and I will not deign to touch it.

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yuck. Why don't they have kids or something? What are they doing? Practicing?

Nude Spock, Thursday, 26 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tracer, move out quick.

Mike Hanley, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Spanking's too good for some of the assholes I know. Now, if we could only start a thread about disembowelment or castration with rusty garden tools ...

Tadeusz Suchodolski, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Are rusty garden tools a common sexual fetish? What a sheltered life I have led...

Emma, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think they're only good if you have regular tetanus shots.

Paul Strange, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

"regular tetanus shots" = hilarious device to introduce into fan fiction: "dickon's pale armflesh wobbled and squirmed as tori..." etc

mark s, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Slap the cuffs on our Julie? My dear Mark S., you perceive but the vulgar fraction. Spanking is a classic dud, but decadence always a higher calling. Now I hit submit to post. It's all in the language, dog. -- Mick Farren

Mick Farren, Friday, 27 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ooooooh.

"At a first glance you might mistake it for smoke, for it was grey and you could see things through it. But the deathly smell was not the smell of smoke... It was roughly the shape of a man but had the head of a bird..."

one month passes...
I was spanked last night

anthony, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Taking sides: alternative sexualities vs alternative musics. Or - can the fetish scene really produce no better band than the Genitorturers??
