This weekend
was a mixed bag of events. So my post is a bit of a mixed mash of thoughts, and
maybe questions.
Hubby and I
needed to leave our family gathering early to take care of parenting
responsibilities. Not always pleasant but necessary.
Since we all
understand the vagaries of life we need to take time to enjoy all we can.
So……..
Sunday
morning dawned and we decided to make the most of our early return.
Reading
around blog land you often hear moms complain that they are frequently
interrupted during those inopportune intimate moments. Let me assure you that
still can be the case with teens residing in the home. They do not even want to
be reminded that at one or two times you ‘may’ have had sex in order to
conceive them! Radar not engaged.
So Hubby and
I decided since child # 2 was deep in la la land, we were safe to practice our ‘research’.
However, we have something called small house syndrome, and sound travels
easily. Rightly so, hubby was concerned about the recognizable sounds
indicating spanking, so I took the bull by the horns and placed a fan in front
of our son’s door and turned it on high. Problem solved! We have fans going
in all the bedrooms so it was double coverage.
When we ‘practice’
I can barely contain Hubby! I mean why didn’t he say something about enjoying
this erotic side of spanking? Since he was always threatening and spanking
outside of the bedroom I knew he was somewhat of a spanko but his enthusiasm is
dramatic! Hubby was always happily
engaged before, but I mean this is crazy! Good crazy!
I am not really sure I understand how it is
erotic for him. I understand the physiology for the spanked person. (Remember
your link SNP) As to the psychological component I can trace the feelings I had
when spanking was mentioned, read about in romance or seen in TV, or movies.
Maybe it was considered more acceptable in my youth. It certainly appears that
way considering what I have read in blog land for many spankos of my
generation.
I can actually
remember a conversation where I may have been between the ages of 15-17 with
similarly aged family members. Several of us girls were watching a ‘Gidget’
rerun where an exchange student was spanked by her fiancé. We discussed the big
philosophical question of who should/could spank a woman. (No judgment here
just what was on our radar, and experience? I realize other dynamics abound and
that’s great)
I often
fought that assertion because it seemed very contrary to being a modern woman.
So I continued to read and watch anything spanking related secretly…. while
outwardly balking at the event, and at the same time weaving spanking stories
in my head.
Since most
stories, books, movies, TV etc., dealt with the discipline component….and hubby
sort-of went there, mildly, playfully....
You can see
how it took me so long to even begin to explore the erotic side of spanking,
and be open with my husband. Plus I had so many balls I needed to keep in the
air and manage as a strong wife and mother. (Some bloggers comment about those
of us who have a great deal of responsibility, ie nurses, teachers etc., and enjoy
the fantasy of not dealing with all our burdens?)
We have
always enjoyed the intimacy of our marriage and were very open and enthusiastic
to explore with each other. However, I wasn’t supposed to “go there.” I never
ever expected to share this with hubby.
Maybe the
natural way he already took it upon himself to use those ‘trigger words’ and
follow through was what laid some of the ground work for me to be more open
with myself, and with him. (Plus communicating with PK for a while and later with
Sunnygirl)
For me the
threat is part of the fantasy, The ‘Taken in Hand’ component of a story. Yet
the other side is the eroticism of spanking itself.
Later on I did
ask him if he was ok with all this new stuff, I know PK, why am I going there
again? Just going back to try and
understand his enjoyment. He struggles with ‘some’ of what I have shown him, or
read to him….But if we do not label it; his answer is often enthusiastically
appreciative. (I try and understand, he has no need to understand.... SEE Bas, hubby and I too, are different)
Maybe there is a learning curve for both of
us.
This was his
exact response, and expression:
His Eyes
opened wide, he smiled and looked right at me and said, “oh yea! I love the
spanking!” Seems very simple, huh?
We are still
just tipping our toes in the water, but that’s ok for us.
Thanks for reading,

When you figure it all out, please, let me know, lol :)
ReplyDeleteI do not think that is going to happen! I guess I will just have to wait for others to do the dirty work! NOT.
DeleteYeah, me too!
ReplyDeleteJust keep on experimenting. I hope to get back in the lab soon myself!
Hugs,
PK
Well you have my voodoo wishes. BTW when I think of lab work I go back to HS and flying cows eyes....! yuck!!
DeleteJust keep enjoying,,,figuring it all out is too exhausting.
ReplyDeleteabby
I hear you! Sometimes I just can't stop myself!!
DeleteThis all sounds very sweet. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind! Hopefully not saccharin sweet!
DeleteIt's all good Minelle! I am glad he loves the spanking and your are just trying to figure it all out like many of us. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby asked what SNP means and I told him. He said, In Scotland it means Scottish National Party! We are on the same wave length, ha! ha!
DeleteHi Minelle,
ReplyDeleteI'd call that experiment a major success! Bravo.
Hugs,
Bonnie
Hi, I am happy with our progress! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSounds just about right and just keep on practicing and experimenting until you get it right (shade of red, of course). LOL
ReplyDeleteWe are working on that, slowly but surely. lol
DeleteI'm so happy for you! I really think I kept my interest corked because the feminist in me just didn't get why I would want to be dominated... it's confusing!
ReplyDeleteIt is so very confusing at times. I think that's why I love reading stories.
DeleteI see it Minelle. Vive la difference.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a law stating that the other one says exactly the words you expect at exactly the moment you expect them.
I like the simple answers.
We are looking into that mind reading software! He certainly has no need for the complicated meanings.
DeleteSo many things to find out and investigate! I enjoy the way you write about all of it. Here's to an empty house for you more often.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie, I try and write somewhat the way I am in real life. It can be a bit daunting!
DeleteI agree with Bonnie - very successful Minelle.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

We were certainly happy with our 'toe tipping' into the spanking waters.
DeleteYou are so nice- thanks for this. I always think who could possibly want to read my crazy thoughts? I will try and respond when I figure out all the tech stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why it took me so long to find your blog. I have really loved your comments on mine. Thank you. And I hope that you enjoy the interesting dynamics of ttwd as much as I do. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Well we are enjoying the discovery. My husband is also enjoying my stories which is interesting to me! The dynamics create new intimacy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
