My Bottom Smarts

Signing Off

2024-12-14T08:46:00.001-08:00

I owe you a better farewell than my last post, so this is it.

My writings here came from a place of joy. At least that was my intent. When I strayed, it wasn't often or for long. The continuing exhilaration of TTWD and the friendship of so many like-minded colleagues motivated me for 19 years with a few breaks along the way.

This goodbye will be the final one. My joy is gone. I will leave this blog in place as a museum for seekers to discover or the nostalgic to remember.

It was good, this thing we did together. This blog once attracted over 12K reads a day. I had fans who eagerly awaited my next words and expressed disappointment when I skipped a day. A loyal readership is the desire of every writer. Blogs were eventually eclipsed by real time social media and the crowd moved on. Still, I felt as though I had something to say, so I did. I never tried to monetize MBS and I never made a dime. I also never spent a dime, so all I invested was my time and effort. At the end of the day, this venture breaks even, and that feels right.

Best wishes to all of you. I greatly appreciate your support.

Update: For those who asked, we are fine and spankings continue.

Incredibly Personal Q&A Part VI

2024-09-14T10:53:00.002-07:00

Hey everybody. Happy Autumn. We’re still alive and still spanking.

Longtime readers, if you’re still around, will remember Tom, the serial poser of inappropriate queries. Tom says he’s read every word I ever wrote here so he’s a very loyal fan. Tom takes special glee in asking me intimate and potentially embarrassing questions. Every so often, at random intervals, I get another inquisitive email message. Most of his questions I will answer, but some I reject, often because I don’t want to out myself or Randy. When I get enough answers, I gather them up and publish them here. So, let’s jump in.

Q101: Would you rather be spanked in the ankle grab position or the diaper position?

A101: Both of these spankings hurt intensely and for the same reason. A taut bottom is less able to absorb the impacts. If I must choose, I’ll reluctantly take the ankle grab.

Q102: Do you ever worry about your bra being visible in public?

A102: I make an effort to conceal it. Underwear goes under. However, if a strap slips out, it doesn’t ruin my day.

Q103: It sounds like Randy is using wooden paddles on you more often. Is this the case?

A103: Yes, I would say so. He moved to the heavier implements when he was sick, and he liked the results, so he never fully transitioned back.

Q104: Have you ever used a menstrual cup?

A104: No.

Q105: You describe having wide hips. To what extent is this a problem?

A105: I guess that depends upon your definition of a problem. I’ve been pear shaped since I was a young teenager, and I’ve made peace with my body. I’m a fairly average sized woman who happens to have an extra-large bottom. I'm a broad. There was a time when I spent time worrying about that aspect of my appearance. But my husband loves how I look and that’s good enough for me.

In a business setting, I dress conservatively to encourage male colleagues to look at my face and hear my words. We used to have casual Fridays in the office. When I wore jeans, I had to deal with a lot more random pop-in visitors including managers who I never saw any other time.

Out in the world, there can be issues. There is a beautifully restored theatre where we used to attend live performances. My breadth doesn’t fit between the rigid armrests. I’ve had this happen in older airplane seats too. But I can live with a few compromises.

Q106: Do you consider yourself a tradwife?

A106: No, definitely not. I’ve held a job for almost my entire adult life. I was a mom, but that was never all I was. Randy asks me to do things, but I can resist or even refuse if I feel strongly. Even my hardest spankings can he halted with one word. My consent is fully intact.

Q107: Do you still wear pantyhose?

A107: Yes, though much less frequently than in the past, especially during hot weather. I often wear a skirt or dress, and pantyhose just seems right for some occasions.

Q107: How does it change the spanking experience for you when you know it’s being video recorded?

A107: I used to worry about how I looked or what I said, but it has happened so many times that I barely think about it now. He spends hours setting up, recording, editing, and curating all those videos. I have the easy part.

Q108: If you could get only one type of spanking for the rest of your life, what would it be?

A108: It would be one where I lay over Randy’s lap with my skirt raised and he spanks me with a small leather paddle. The beauty of that paddle is that it stings but doesn’t do too much serious damage. This allows for long hard spankings.

Q109: Do you really like playing the bad girl?

A109: I love playing the naughty girl in desperate need of attitude adjustment. There are so many more delicious emotions at play when corporal punishment feels real. That scenario gives Randy license to do things that I don’t expect.

Q110: Do you still wear thong panties everyday including right now?

A110: Yes.

Q111: Where do you stand in the upcoming US election?

A111: I reject fear, prejudice, violence, greed, autocracy, and hate.

Q112: Can a severe spanking change your mind about something?

A112: That’s not usually the purpose of our spankings, but I do tend to think a lot as I drift back to Earth afterward.

Q113: You said you sleep in a nightgown. Can you describe it?

A113: I own more than one. Summer nightgowns are short and sleeveless. The rest of the year I wear longer ones. I like comfortable cotton, but satiny fabrics also have their place. I prefer pastel colors and prints with lace, bows, or ribbons. A ruffled hem is extra fun.

Q114: What are your favorite pizza toppings?

A114 If I get to pick, it’s veggie.

Q115: What for you is the most embarrassing part of being spanked?

A115: It’s the possibility that someone we know (or everyone we know!) could learn about what we’ve been doing all these years and judge us for it.

Q116: Were you ever tied spread eagle and spanked?

A116: Yes, several times, though not lately. I think I wrote an account of one such spanking.

Q117: How did you get the name Bonnie?

A117: I think I’ve answered this one before. Bonnie is my real first name. It appears on my birth certificate. My mother got the idea from a character in a movie. When I first jumped on the internet in the nineties, I didn’t know enough to select a pseudonym, so Bonnie I am.

Q118: Are there activities you avoid immediately after you are spanked?

A118: I seek to avoid the gym, gynecologist visits, swimming, wearing shorts, and situations that require long stretches of time sitting on a hard surface. Randy likes to arrange that last one.

Q119: Do you ever wish Randy would spank you much harder or more often?

A119: I have no complaints.

Q120: Have you been spanked today?

A120: No, but it’s still morning.

There you have it. Tom is (still) a nosy fellow, but he is polite, and his curiosity seems genuine. Education has always been a fundamental mission of this blog, and I hope my candor helps someone to understand.

Ask Bonnie

2024-07-04T12:58:00.000-07:00

Hello again, dear friends. I bring you just one reader question this time, but it's a fun one.

Question: How does it feel to be a wife who gets her bare bottom spanked hard with a wood paddle?

Silly Bonnie: It's exactly like a trip to the circus, but without the ringmaster, clowns, lions, jugglers, acrobats, elephants, barkers, freaks, calliope, trapeze performers, cotton candy, games of skill, flaming hoops, and the high wire act.

Blunt Bonnie: How do you think it feels? It hurts like hell!

Scientific Bonnie: Disciplinary paddlings cause a conspicuous reddening of the lower buttocks that can persist for several hours. This visible effect is generally accompanied by painful reactions in the afflicted areas. An intense but superficial sting arises at the time of spanking and fades within a few hours. A deeper throbbing pain persists longer and may cause profound discomfort while seated. After repeated forceful strikes in the same spots, temporary numbness may occur. The skin becomes warm to the touch as blood flows to the punished region. The skin's surface may also lose elasticity and acquire a rough texture.

Turn Around Bonnie: I suggest there is only one way to truly find the answer you seek. I recommend you experience a long hard paddling for yourself, right on your bare butt. If you cannot find someone to swing the paddle, do it yourself. As I am often reminded, a spanking is the only way you will learn. Look for a hardwood paddle with rounded edges, at least half an inch thick, and of sufficient length to reach the bottom of each cheek. Start with about twenty swats and go from there. You too can become a member of our exclusive club.

Psychologist Bonnie: Accepting vigorous paddlings brings me fulfillment in ways I struggle to fully explain. I embrace my role of the bad girl deserving of severe corporal punishment. I crave the full ritual including all of the pain and embarrassment. It brings me happines to watch the video later and relive everything he says and does to me. It thrills me to have vivid memories flood back into my mind when I sit down. Spanking is our kink.

Just Plain Bonnie: Spankings are one aspect of our excellent lives together.

Song Parody: When I'm Really Sore

2024-05-19T15:24:00.000-07:00

This spanko song parody is respectfully dedicated to all fans of the Beatles and their song When I'm Sixty Four.

When I'm Really Sore

When I get punished rubbing my rear
Many hours from now
Will you still be giving me the swinging pine?
Birthday greetings line upon line

If I've been out ‘til quarter to three
Would you spank some more?
Will you still treat me, will you still beat me?
When I’m really sore

I could be handy, digging out toys
When you think they’re lost
You can craft a paddle in your old wood shop
Sunday mornings, flicking the crop
Swats in the garden, pay for my deeds
Who could ask for more?

Will you still treat me, will you still beat me?
When I’m really sore

Send me an email, drop me a text
What you gonna to do
Indicate precisely how you mean to flay
Yours sincerely, almost okay

Give me your answer, fill in a form
Sting for evermore
Will you still treat me, will you still beat me?
When I’m really sore

Bonnie: The Interview

2024-05-05T07:00:00.005-07:00

Randy interviewed me on video yesterday. We had just completed my second hard spanking of the day and the third in less than 24 hours. He didn’t go easy on me. I don’t know how many swats I received with that unforgiving teardrop-shaped wooden paddle. Maybe a hundred. I know my bottom was sore when he began, and it didn’t get any better along the way.

Here’s our transcribed interview, edited only for conciseness. I really did say all that dumb stuff. I was lying across his lap and he still had the paddle in his hand. My bottom, visible in the video, was conspicuously marked.

R: How do you feel now?

B: Uh, I dunno. Spanked?

R: Do you enjoy being punished like this over my lap?

B: Yeah, um, I do.

R: What is it that you like?

B: Being here close with you. Feeling your hands holding me.

R: What about your butt?

B: It really hurts a lot.

R: (rubbing) It’s very red and feels warm. There’s a cute mark over here on your right cheek. (touches the welt)

B: That happens when you use the paddle.

R: What do you think about getting spanked twice in one day?

B: It’s OK. If you decide I deserve it.

R: Bon, if you ever got everything you deserve, we’d wear out my arm.

B: (imagining) Yeah, maybe so.

R: Is there a spanking that you wish you could get?

B: Right now, I have no idea.

R: Would you like me to strap you to the bench and cane your butt right now?

B: Not sure. Maybe later.

R: Would you like me to give you some more swats with this paddle? (whack whack)

B: Ow! I told you I don’t know. You’re confusing me.

R: Do you feel sufficiently punished now?

B: Yes, sir.

R: Is it embarrassing to get your bare bottom spanked with a paddle in front of the camera and then have to explain how it feels?

B: Yes.

R: What’s it like to be an accomplished adult woman, a grandmother, a teacher, who requires frequent corporal punishment?

B: It’s just what we do.

R: Do you like the embarrassment aspect?

B: Yes, I think I do.

R: Would it be more embarrassing if your blog readers knew about all this?

B: Maybe.

R: Then I want you to tell them everything, OK?

B: Yes, sir.

So, there you have all my paddle-addled observations after a day of spankings. It only hurts when I sit, stand, walk, bend, move, roll over, stretch, or climb stairs. But I'm smiling today.

In Praise of the Pear

2024-05-03T14:25:00.000-07:00

This ad came out when I was eleven years old. Body shaming anyone?

Today, in the age of TikTok, SnapChat, and Instagram, the message is ubiquitous. If you know a young woman, let her know that we value her for a hundred reasons unrelated to her physical appearance. Show her you care. Listen to her. But you can also tell her that she's beautiful.

Spanking Haiku

2024-04-28T08:20:00.002-07:00

What, I wondered, have I never shared on the blog? Haiku! Let's try that.

Spanks seem bad to some
But they're really great for me
Want to tell the world

When I am the bad girl
Receive all that I deserve
My heart is fulfilled

Hard swats coming soon
Lift my skirt and get in place
Wait to feel impact

Accepting each sting
Shocking yet familiar
Holding on so firm

Punishment over
My lover carried me through
Cling to him always

Bend and Bare, Bon, Bend and Bare

2024-03-31T11:14:00.007-07:00

These are words I know well. In the early years of this blog, I used to have a large tagline at the very bottom of the page that read, “Spankings Happen.” And so they did, and I am grateful that they still do. When I hear the title phrase, I know it’s time for another session with one of our favorite spanking paddles. What follows is a fulfillment of my spanko dreams.

On the weekends, Randy sometimes paddles me more than once in a day. He is delighted when I raise my skirt to reveal residual redness or marks on my bottom from a previous spanking. He always asks me if it hurts. If I tell him that it does, he kneads my exposed skin to draw out the last throbbing vestiges of my previous punishment before starting again. If I say it doesn’t, well that’s a challenge he is happy to accept. Either way, the paddle smacks repeatedly against my tender cheeks. And that always hurts. A lot.

He often secures me by grabbing the waistband of my thong with his left hand. This leaves his right hand free to wind up and deliver a full swing of the paddle. Of course, I can’t see much other than the floor at these moments, but I’ve studied his technique in the hundreds of videos we’ve watched together. He recently started assigning silly titles to the videos. Two of my favorites are “Bon Beating Bonanza” and “That Lesson She’ll Remember to Forget.”

In other news, it’s finally starting to warm up (weatherwise), so we’ve been playing in the basement more often. That’s where our spanking bench is located. I love the bench. It’s an exhilarating feeling to have my wrists and ankles bound with velcro straps. Even before the serious punishment begins, as I lay there with my bottom completely vulnerable, I know I am due for the full treatment. This anticipation is delicious. Then I receive all that I deserve.

After it’s finished and everything is cleaned up and stowed away, we head back upstairs. Each step I take along the way triggers additional posterior pain. It’s almost a bonus spanking. Randy was so enchanted by this phenomenon last time that he had me go back and walk up the steps again for the benefit of his camera.

Spankings are good at our house. Randy’s health issues remind us that everything in this life is temporary. Carpe Diem in this context means assume the position, and I do!

Ask Bonnie: Wishing for Spring Edition

2024-02-24T15:19:00.001-08:00

Happy Almost Spring, friends. We've been busy with lots of stuff, so I've been away from the blog. But I'm here now with some reader questions.

Question: When did you first know you have a large bottom?

Bonnie: I guess we'll start with this familiar topic. I don't recall anyone phrasing the question this way before. I think it's an inherent design feature. I always knew. Back in junior high, I learned that boys knew too. Not a happy memory.

Question: Would you sell your paddles/thongs?

Bonnie: That's not business I want to transact. You can order paddles through any quality internet vendor. Thongs are available everywhere.

Question: You say you get spanked because you are bad. What bad things make you so deserving?

Bonnie: I give discourteous answers to questions like this one.

Question: Dear Mrs X – do you have any suggestions how a man can find a lady with the same interests and Pleasures regarding spanking as you do?

Bonnie: You might want to check out local kink groups or online forums.

Question: Do you know anyone in ____ that would be willing to spank me

Bonnie: I’m sorry. I don’t know anyone who lives there. I suggest you seek like-minded people in your area.

Question: you referenced a cane that was more useful for less intensity than a standard school sized cane. Could you point me in the right direction in terms of size? Length, material?

Bonnie: We bought that cane from a store named Cane-iac. They are still in business, but in the process of closing. The cane I described is wooden, fairly light, and about 24 inches long. It is well suited for OTK use.

Question: How can you permit a man to beat your body with a stick?

Bonnie: Yeah. OK. Explanation time. I don’t permit this, we agree in advance. Second, that man is my husband to whom I’ve been married for my entire adult life and with whom I share many wonderful memories, both spanking and otherwise. Third, it’s a spanking not a beating. The focus is my bottom, not my whole body. My spankings happen for a specific purpose. It hurts, but I sustain no lasting damage. Finally, he doesn’t use some random stick he found along the highway. Most often, it’s a paddle that we purchased to deliver spankings. I consent and I am an active participant.

Question: how do i create my own spanking bench

Bonnie: We bought ours, but you can search for "spanking bench" plans or "spanking bench" blueprints. There appear to be several choices. Good luck!

Question: Is spanking a turn-on?

Bonnie: That’s a big 10-4 good buddy

Question: Have you ever had to sign a paddle after you were paddled with it?

Bonnie: Yes, that’s a dynamic we enjoy. I have signed the paddle to memorialize a hard punishment gratefully accepted.

Question: Are you thinking about retiring?

Bonnie: Retiring from what? Spankings: No, Blogging: Who knows?, Work: It’s on the table.

That's it for now. If you want to send me a question, click the Ask Bonnie symbol near the bottom of the right column.

In Search of Heroines

2024-02-23T12:19:00.000-08:00

When I was a girl, about sixth grade, I became aware that things were changing. I was suddenly different and the way people treated me was diferent too. As if overnight, my girl body became a woman body. But I wasn't a woman, not even close. It was all hard to understand. My parents were supportive, but I didn't think they understood. I searched for a guidepost, an inspiration. I found one in the most unlikely spot.

Like most kids of my generation, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons and munching the sugar cereal they pitched. Amongst the vast wasteland of television (as dubbed by the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission), I found a character with whom I could identify. She was Penelope Pitstop.

Penelope appeared first in a cartoon show called the Wacky Races and later in her own spin-off show. Penelope was determined and honest and loyal. But she wasn't very bright. She was a cute southern belle who gratefully accepted assistance wherever she could find it and she seemed to need a lot of assistance. Especially from another driver named Peter Perfect. He was as handsome as Penelope was beautiful, but again not too smart.

Why did I connect with this imaginary character with a silly personality? I think it was because she looked like me. I had wide hips and a big butt. So did she. Today, we talk about the importance of representation. We didn't know that word, but that's what she was for me.

What's strange is that I didn't consciously get the connection until years later. I just liked Penelope. I wasn't a driver, or blonde, or Southern, or dopey. But she was the only female driver, so I rooted for her.

Those cartoons were made two generations ago. I doubt anyone involved gave much thought to their effect on girl viewers. But today, we know better, or at least we should.

We have a teenage granddaughter. She is bright, beautiful, clever, and funny. And she has the same shape as her mom and me. She's athletic, healthy, and definitely not overweight. But she got the family blessing/curse.

This sweet girl is barraged with social media messages that define feminine beauty as something she doesn't have and never will. Yet she attracts lots of interest from guys. This conflict causes her great distress. She thinks there must be something wrong with her. If only girls had contemporary role models who could tell them straight - I'm all right and you are too. There are curvy celebrities like JLo or Beyonce, but those women are both older than her mother.

She thinks I don't understand, but maybe I do. I tell her how beautiful she is, but she says I'm supposed to say that. My wish for this amazing young woman is that she comes to accept herself as she is, and in time, loves her mind and her body. She has so much potential. I don't want to meddle, but I wish I could do more.

PS - Randy reminded me that Penelope Pitstop used to get tied up a lot. I guess she did. That probably appealed to me as well.

A New Year Brings Change

2024-01-21T09:21:00.001-08:00

As I’ve described, Randy and I settled into a comfortable routine where we are both mostly working from home. Spankings that once had to be carefully scheduled have become frequent and impromptu. We enjoy this arrangement where at almost any moment I can be invited to flip my skirt or hoist my nightgown for a hearty dose of stinging correction. I can defer, and sometimes I do, but it’s exciting to know that my next paddling might be just around the next bend.

But I get cold. The climate where we live is lovely for part of the year, just not this part. The long billowy skirts I wear are cool and comfortable all summer long. But come the rainy season, they don’t insulate me from the cold.

Back in November, I complained to Randy and he went into problem solver mode. He ordered me three new pairs of jeans. Nice, except they didn’t fit. I could have told him that. So back they went and he sent me on a mission to find those same jeans in a store. I eventually found the appropriate size and brought them home.

This style is notable because there are no back pockets to impede the forceful contact of spanking implements. The color is dark indigo, which to me is the original color of jeans. They fade with time and wear and washings to become soft and comfy.

I wasn’t surprised to learn that my dear husband had plans beyond just protecting me from the cold. Once before, he tried to see if he could create a pair of my jeans where two spots on the seat were far more worn than the rest of the pants. He loves the idea of sending me out into the world with jeans that scream, “I get spanked right here!” But last time, he became impatient. He used drastic measures like sandpaper and bleach. This didn’t create the organic look that he wanted and those jeans were eventually discarded.

The experimentation has begun again. Randy discovered that implements like canes and straps seem to distress the fabric more than the paddles he normally relies upon. I get a layer of fabric to protect my butt from the falling flails, but he has taken the opportunity to turn up the intensity. You needn’t be concerned, dear reader, that I am being deprived of my thorough spankings. I feel the burn.

So far, my legs are warmer and so is my bottom. The jeans are starting to wear in the desired fashion and I’m beginning to think this plan might work. Randy really wants to send me out shopping or to the library sporting distinctive marks both inside and out.

So I guess we’ll see.

Spanko Bingo Card

2023-11-23T06:58:00.000-08:00

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Here's some goofy fun. Who will be the lucky winner?

A Blog About Spanking

2023-11-18T08:45:00.001-08:00

During our weekly percussive instruction session, Randy reminded me that MBS is a spanking blog. He thinks I should be writing about my spankings. And he is only too willing to provide any necessary motivation.

So, let’s talk about spankings…

Before Covid, we had settled into a comfortable pattern – Scheduled spankings on Friday evening with occasional extra bottom warmings when the opportunity arrived. We both eagerly awaited Friday and Randy planned various special events for us.

In March 2020, we began working from home. Randy decided we should make some changes. He suggested that I start wearing skirts every day with a thong underneath. I was happy to comply. This was the beginning of our lunchtime paddlings. As part of our lunchtime together, I bend over the back of our couch with skirt lifted and target exposed. We kept a leather paddle in the drawer of a side table in our living room. It was just as accessible as my bare bottom.

This new dimension reawakened our spanking fun. A couple dozen quick pops changes my whole perspective. How great is it to go back to (virtual) work with a warm, stinging butt? I love it.

All was well until the summer of 2022. We managed to avoid Covid, but another health threat shook our world. Randy found himself exhausted by even minor exertion. The problem crept up on him over several months, but he fought through it until July when it affected his ability to work.

He consulted with a doctor, and another, and another. There were lots of tests. The third doctor diagnosed Randy as having a type of blood cancer. We were told it was “mostly treatable” with chemotherapy drugs. His age was a concern, but the fact that he was otherwise healthy gave the doctor cause for optimism.

We endured months of difficult treatment. Through it all, my spankings continued. But things were different. Randy insisted upon doing his part, even when he felt tired or sick or discouraged. He compensated for his physical deficits. When the situation called for a leather paddle, he used a wooden paddle. Wooden paddles were replaced with a Lexan paddle. He joked that I shouldn’t have to suffer because of his illness. He didn’t want me to feel neglected, and I didn’t. I never minded caring for him because I love being his wife and this life we’ve built together.

Even at the lowest point, my dear partner was able to singe my seat by flicking a crop. I recognized his dedication to me and our beloved kink. When the treatment concluded and he began to recover, he revived some of our favorite spanko traditions. For a couple of months, I wasn’t certain whether I could even hope that he was recovering. But he did improve. He became stronger and found more endurance in his daily activities. His hair mostly returned. He went back to work, part time initially. All the while, I fought the urge to rejoice. In the back of my mind was the possibility of a relapse.

I think I accepted that Randy was back on the day he led me downstairs and strapped me to our long-neglected spanking bench for a caning. He lit me up. I was so happy I cried, and that’s something I almost never do in that situation. I savored the resulting sting for the rest of the day and didn’t miss an opportunity to kiss him. I was so grateful to still have my life mate. He wasn’t ever really gone, but that didn’t prevent me from feeling joy at his return.

Our spankings now have a celebratory feel. We always knew this dance cannot last forever, but now we have a lot more insight into how that approaching storm will affect us. Every time I hoist my skirt and bend over the back of the couch, I do so with humble gratitude.

There is one emergency measure that remains in place. Randy replaced the nice warm stinging leather paddle in our side table drawer with an unforgiving wooden model that hurts a lot. It’s still there and used frequently. I’m not about to complain, but ow! (rubbing bottom)

We’ll continue with this new routine for the foreseeable future. Randy mentioned holiday spankings and I can’t wait!

OK, That was Strange

2023-11-05T10:16:00.000-08:00

If you read the recent mailbag post, you probably know I get a lot of unusual email. Most of it, I either ignore or save for the mailbag. Yesterday, I had an exchange for the ages.

It started with an email from someone whose name was one letter different from a well-known spanking model. Most models use stage names, so I thought nothing of it. She politely asked me to remove all links to her. This happens occasionally when someone wants to return to civilian life, though this model has been so successful that it would be impossible to disappear from the Internet. But no matter, I found a handful of posts from ten or more years ago and excised her links.

I wrote back, told her it was good to talk with her again, said I deleted her links as requested, and wished her well. This was clearly not the desired response. My correspondent, now clearly unhappy, said she had no idea what I was talking about and demanded that I remove her links immediately.

I recognized that my correspondent was not the famous spanking model. I wrote back explaining that I was unable to provide what she requested. I have no control over [famous spanking model]’s site.

I hoped that might be the end of the discussion. Instead, the *not* famous spanking model insisted that I remove both my site and that of her doppelganger.

I wrote back that my blog is eighteen years old and contains over 2000 posts. Deleting it all because she was offended didn’t seem like a reasonable solution. And I couldn’t delete [famous spanking model]’s site if I wanted to, and I don’t. That seemed like a clear answer.

But no, apparently not. The response said only, “it needs to be removed.”

OK, one more time I thought. I explained what I thought should be obvious by now. There is a popular spanking model whose name is very similar. She has a web site, and she controls the content that appears there. This was what my correspondent found when she Googled her name.

I told her again that I cannot help her. I have never met [famous spanking model] and have not even talked with her in at least a decade. I suggested she could contact [famous spanking model], but it seems unlikely that she will take down her site because one person doesn’t like it.

I resisted the temptation to say, “That’s not how any of this works,” but she was already upset and there seemed no point.

At this stage, my insistent pen pal finally gave up and wished me, “Good luck.”

After a total of nine messages exchanged, I am left with one question. “Why me?”

Old School Video

2023-10-30T14:03:00.000-07:00

I mentioned that Randy had a leave of absence from work while he was recovering from his illness. Even when ailing, this guy isn't one to sit around and do nothing. He had projects because of course he had projects. One in particular appealed to me.

Randy has always memorialized as many spankings as possible. Originally, he used a Polaroid camera to help us remember how red my bottom was. This solution was workable and private, but it was expensive and the photos faded with time. When digital cameras became available, Randy jumped at the opportunity. Suddenly, there were dozens of pictures to chronicle each punishment. Randy eagerly scanned our old Polaroids to preserve those images.

In the late eighties, we bought an early camcorder, ostensibly to capture our daughter's childhood adventures. Randy soon found another use. The results were often disappointing, but he was able to record actual spankings as they happened rather just the results. Ever the geek, Randy later bought one of the first-generation digital video cameras and found much better results. Those old VHS tapes spent the next twenty years in a box, until Randy decided to digitize their content.

He spent days moving data from the tapes to his computer, converting analog to digital video, scrubbing the images, and curating the sessions. It was a mess. He had no editing capabilities in those days so sessions were sometimes recorded on top of one another. Others were too distorted to restore. Finally, he told me he was ready for movie night.

Movie night at our house is when we screen our spanking videos. In most cases, I haven't seen the videos beforehand. I knew this movie night was different. I probably saw those old tapes, but I had only fuzzy memories.

Here's what I learned from our long-ago spanking videos:

My fuzzy memories are attributable to more than just the passage of time. The overall video quality was poor - grainy, blurry, and choppy. The sound was often unintelligible.
I used to worry about my privates being exposed. That concern was misplaced. It's difficult enough to make out my butt, and it's huge.
I looked shapely in those days, curvy and smooth. Randy looked incredibly hot as the cruel spanker.
I have a better appreciation for the equipment Randy acquired since then - tripods, microphones, lights, not to mention the HD digital cameras. Back in the early days, we had a camcorder sitting on the dresser propped up by a book, and it showed.
It was funny to see our daughter's stuffed animal visible in our spanking video.
OMG, he spanked me so hard! I must have been a bad girl. In video after video, he really punished my bottom. With a bathbrush! These spankings were more severe than anything we do today, and with no real warm up. We had no leather toys, just unforgiving wood. Ouch! This was a revelation for me.
I was more stoic in those days. My dear husband abused my bare skin and it hurt incredibly. But my reaction was just a few muted squeaks. I kicked a few times, but stopped after he smacked my thighs.
The sound quality was lousy, but I think I heard him call me a MILF. That made me laugh. I couldn't make out much of his dialog, but I really liked Randy's tone when he lectured as he spanked.
I was surprised that I wore a thong in several spanking sessions. I forgot that tradition started so early.
I'm glad Randy provided this glimpse into our spanking history. I felt grateful for him sticking with me through all years and delivering what I need.

Randy is delighted to have his entire collection unified for the first time. I told him I hoped he had that backed up.

This was a fun spanko adventure and a very enlightening one too.

A Different Dawn

2023-10-29T09:11:00.000-07:00

Yeah, it's me. I know I've been gone for almost a year. But here we are. A lot has changed, but much is the same.

I am grateful to everyone who expressed concern or wrote to check on me. The short explanation for my absence, call it an excuse if you must, is that my husband Randy was diagnosed with a blood cancer in the summer of 2022. We were told it was often treatable, though his age was a concern. He survived chemotherapy and despite some tough times, he is now in full butt whacking remission.

This experience changed both of us in ways we are only now beginning to fully comprehend. He looks ten years older and closer to his chronological age. But he is back to his smiling self. His employer allowed him to take a leave of absence and he's back working again, though mostly from home.

I feel less certain about my role and purpose. I faced the crushing possibility of finishing my life alone. His mortality reminded me of my own. I pondered how I've spent this life I was gifted and what good I have done for the world. As I emerge from this time of reflection, I think publishing a spanking blog was probably a positive. I once had a spreadsheet full of post ideas. Now as I type this, I have no specific plans. I'm not even sure I'm back. But I think I might try this again for a while.

I have dozens of questions and comments that readers have sent. Apparently, they were here even when I wasn't. I will end the suspense by answering the number one question. YES, I am definitely still getting spankings. It still stings and I still love it all. You needn't worry another minute about that one. I will answer more questions later.

Until then, have a lovely week!

So, I Guess This is It

2022-11-18T10:23:00.000-08:00

Hi friends. Thank you to everyone who contacted me to inquire about our wellbeing. That means a lot to me.

To answer the questions, we’re OK. Life has thrown some challenges in front of Randy and me, but we are coping. Our experiences have driven me to re-evaluate a great many assumptions.

For most of the past 17 years, this blog has been my home in cyberspace, my refuge from the insanity of daily life, and the place where I could share all my kinky thoughts with like-minded friends. It served me well.

But things have changed – My priorities, our lives, readership, politics, technology, and the world. After lots of thought, spirited conversations, and a few tears, we’ve decided it’s time to walk away.

I promise I won’t delete the blog or remove any posts, but I can make no promises about our sometimes surprisingly puritanical host. MBS will live on as a kind of spanko mausoleum, a monument to days of spankings past.

For readers who enjoyed the two blogrolls, I regret to say that they had to go. I can no longer maintain them properly and such neglect would lead to malicious hijacked links that could get the entire blog deleted. If anyone wants the HTML, email me and I will send it to you.

I remain forever grateful to everyone who contributed to My Bottom Smarts. This was a blog about consensual adult spankings, but we know there was always much more. The memories of our time together will sustain me and always make me smile.
