Last Butt Standing

SpankingEpics has just added a one-of-a-kind spanking video its collection of spanking dvds and vhs. The idea for new piece, titled "The Great American Spank-Off" came to SpankingEpics' creators spontaneously while filming a series of shorter videos.

Contestants Sierra Salem and Erica Scott face off to settle once and for all who has the most spankable butt in the spanking world. The results may surprise you! Our would-be spanking queens go through hairbrushes, paddles and of course the good old bare hand ass-slapping before all is said and done. The judges' inscrutable gazes from their spot on the couch further draws us in to this unique spank-off. Apparently, this video is just hysterical.

Wicked Castle Updated

We have just posted a new Carolyn Faulkner erotic romance on Wicked Castle, the first to appear on Wicked Castle in awhile. While you are there, remember my blog entry about Fantasy Honeymoon, where I mentioned that this story was very sexy and very richly detailed. I still stand by this recommendation! Anyway, here is a summary of the newest Carolyn Faulkner e-book:

Can strength of will – and hard but loving discipline – overcome a gentlewoman’s anger toward the man who threatens to take over her life?

Cameron Genrette was nothing more than a vile, classless upstart who not only beat her out of her rightful position as the head of her father’s company, but also managed to manipulate her into marrying him. But Brianna Rose Spencer wasn’t about to take all that lying down – or lying over his lap, although she seemed to find herself in that humiliating position more often than not.

The scoundrel cowboy had no manners whatsoever – no idea how to properly treat a lady . . . then why was it that her body seemed to crave him so? Why was it so easy for him to subdue her with those blushingly intimate touches?

She didn’t want to love him – she didn’t want to even like him. Brianna fought her attraction to Cameron with everything she had, even running away from her husband at one point, as he tried to tame her to his hand.

Best of Craig's List

Like many urban young people, I am really into Craigslist, an online community that provides free classified ads, job postings and personals. Most people, especially Californians, are familiar with the service. I have been quite successful in giving away things on Craigslist, like old furniture and Beta tapes (and player).

But Craigslist also provides some High-larious entertainment as well. The Best of Craigslist is key, but I also like to scour the ads themselves for posts that I find amusing:

Slut School

Today as I made some changes on the Spanking Corner feeder site, Punishment Spanking, I came across one of our more-amusing sounding stories. This literary opus that captivated my imagination? Slut School. Take a look -
A rising tide of female indecency has led the government to introduce emergency legislation. From now on lewd acts by women will be dealt with severely in a new type of training establishment – the feared and hated Slut Schools.

Even pampered women from privileged backgrounds can fall foul of the new laws, as Lindy-May Evans discovers to her cost. Sentenced to six months training for a lewd act in a public lavatory, Lindy-May will soon learn the very painful lesson that continued indecency is not tolerated in a Slut School.

Punished and humiliated, the only friends she finds are the hardened, insatiable sluts that the system has been set up to curb.

Waning Moon, Waxing Philosophical

The image of this lady's ass in the air makes me want to commune with the higher mind. Butt (pun intended), my horoscope today talks about depths. The planet Pluto is used as a heuristic for depths, a touchstone if you will. This is the planet of sex and extremes. Ever notice how extreme philosophies tend to have radical views about sex (or none at all which can be seen as a statement in itself)?

Why are illegal aliens invading where I live? I mean, I am totally supportive of people being part of the American dream. When we talked about this in high school, I remember having a strong emotional reaction about wanting to define my community. I believe in indigienous rights, that people should respect others' culture. I extend that to people when I am in other countries. I kind of expect the same. The zapatistas don't want my country's corporations taking their land, and I don't want them taking my job.

I realize now that I am really against turning workers into non-citizens, people who are completely without rights with respect to their employer. If capitalist success stories are always right, then what have they to fear in giving workers citizen-ship status?

One time my friend had to treat this migrant worker for the scariest case of hemorroids you could imagine. She is a nurse who volunteers with migrant worker populations. In this man's country, the greatest fear is being humiliated. The pain that he had suffered instead of seeking treatment is not something we would really care to think about. Because even if he tried to seek medical attention, he would have been excoriated by our medical system for his non-citzen status, to say nothing of the pretty scary hemoroids themselves.

I keep meaning to read this book, but I have hesitated because I feel that philosophizing about humiliation, as about justice, has the effect of isolating fear/ego based paradigms out of the picture.

I am posting to support what I claim to believe, that this blog and the sites that it reference describe fantasies of control and punishment.

Review of Abby's Realm

I have a new favorite fetish site, and it's Abby's Realm. Abby makes her home north of London, and behind the quaint hedges and romantic flowers of her gardens lies a vivid, passionate artist who has brought us a great BDSM site. Many of readers of this blog prefer more M/F, domestic discipline storylines, and it is understandable why. We want the passion, beauty and eroticism in our lives to be mysterious, adventurous and imaginative. Abby similarly seeks to bring sensuality to sadism - bringing out the more seductive, bewitching and hypnotic angles of the fetish. I have chose to review this site because Abby's spanking content is stellar. Abby's Realm, along with its sister site, Abby's Dungeon, offer a ton of crystal-clear, striking BDSM pics and videos, and I am still exploring them, so look for more about these sites.

I actually met Abby not two months ago, and drove her and her partner down some pretty impressive country roads. I was new to the meeting location myself, and was in awe of their patience as we searched a rural area for a bottle of scotch, only to arrive at the liquor store some eight minutes after it closed! Abby was cheerfully explaining the fun of the London BDSM scene, so maybe that's where we will have our next meeting !!

Despite the pleasure that writing this article gives me, I think Abby's own words do a great job of explaining the vision of her site:

I suppose it’s due to my background of being a young female very curious about sex but with no-one to turn to, that my other passion is educating people, both men and women, about my philosophy towards BDSM. Fortunately now there is the internet which is an amazing medium, particularly for women who can now explore from the privacy of home.

Another Carolyn Faulkner Spanking Romance

I am not sure our last newsletter mentioned the new Carolyn Faulkner story on Best of Bethany's. This complete erotic romance novel was available in the Woodshed members-only area previously:

“Don’t move a muscle or you’ll regret it.”

Having Man Mountain Dean holding a gun trained quite expertly on her was hardly an auspicious first encounter between artist Leah Bentley and the neighbor her realtor had assured her she’d never see.

Ex-spy Pace Manning’s wife and son were gone, and nothing and no one was going to bring them back. He’d made a life for himself in the mountains of Wyoming, becoming a surly hermit who jealously guarded his privacy. Yet there she was on his land, sitting there as prim and proper as could be, as if she wasn’t really trespassing.

Their first meeting went from bad to worse when the dominant, annoyingly sexy Manning decided to teach his new neighbor a lesson over his knee, in the middle of the forest. Leah’s threats of legal action rang hollow even to her own ears, but she vowed to steer completely clear of that awful man if it killed her.

But the vicious Wyoming winter, and Pace’s overprotective streak, conspired against her.

Or was that for her?

Yet another use for the internet

I discovered another use for the internet recently - watching videos on Google video. Among the many gems is a video of a girl getting spanked and then getting her ass lit on fire. I recommend sticking with the spanking and not the Grey Goose experiment. Warning - play is automatic so turn the sound down if you are in a public space.
