Forum - Question of the Week #45

Hi all.  Welcome back. I hope you all had a great week.  This week's topic:  The Selfie.  It seems like every other on-line article has some reference to taking a picture of one's self.  Whole social media services have grown up around the concept of distributing pictures of yourself to others.  Sometimes privately, sometimes not.  So, this week's question relates to those moments we save for posterity and our desire to watch or observe.  Have you ever had a photo or video taken during a spanking?  Or, maybe photographed the after-effects of one,. i.e. a bruised bottom or one striped with marks from an effective caning?  What about watching yourself in a mirror while a spanking is delivered?  If you haven't seen yourself being spanked, or observed your spouse in the act of delivering a well-earned whipping, is that something you would want to do?

I hope you all have a great week.  Please visit the Guestbook and User Stories Section, and tell us a little about yourself or if you have something off-topic you might like to share.

  1. Going back a few years, I used to run a video camera while spanking myself.
    Once I became active in a role as a spankee, one of my top requests of the spanker allow me to use a video camera, or at least, take "after" pictures.
    I have video of the real spanking I received (which was from another man) ... and on up to the present.
    Merry (my wife) is tolerant of my desire to record the event. She doesn't hate it, she doesn't love it -- she is tolerant. As long as her face does not show.
    Taking the time to set up a camera can stop the spontaneity of a spanking, so she doesn't allow it every time, but she is frequently in the mood to tell me to go ahead and get the camera.
    If we don't video record it, she is always willing to take 'after' pictures.
    I don't record the sessions just for personal use.
    I'm a bit, or perhaps MORE than a bit, of an exhibitionist, and I like to publish the videos in various places.
    I have videos on my personal blog(s) on blogspot, on xhamster, on spanking tube, and on spankoNet.

    1. She had a one-year term as a national officer in a Masonic-related Christian women's organization, and she has not wanted to risk any chance of word of her activities that others in this organization might construe as "not normal" getting out.
      The term ended in early May, and she said, for our next video, she wouldn't make a fuss about it.

  2. Hi Dan! It's Susie. I feel the need to tell you who I am since you get so many anonymous posters. {sighs} Oh well...

    Yes, my husband really enjoys taking pictures of what I do to him, and I enjoy taking them. We've even recorded a few of our sessions for posterity {isn't there a pun in what I just wrote?} Both of us are exhibitionists, him moreso than me, but I think it's what makes us such a great couple. I just worry that one day we'll both be too flabby and wrinkled for the general viewing audience.

    What was the subject again? Selfies? Yes, he takes selfies frequently. About 30 in any given week. I take about 4 of him after any given session, more if the mood strikes me {another pun} but I occasionally "forget." I rarely take any pictures of myself, or even allow others to take pictures of me. Mostly because I have a semi-rational fear of being "outed" and I'm worried about the consequences. Do you take lots of pictures?

    1. The vast majority of the posters on this blog post anonymously. The few who aren't technically "anonymous" are using pseudonyms which, for all intents and purposes, is "anonymous." Myself included. Or, they have a Google Account but no profile information. For all anyone knows, I am actually a woman. Therefore, unless it crosses some line (children, animals, commercial, annoyingly and repetitively off-topic) all comments are welcome.

    2. I am a brat that's why I got a spanking for real all those many years ago and why I still get spanked

    3. Susie, you give me way too much credit. I suck at riddles, and you are now going to have my stewing over this for days!

  3. Hey Susie! I'm always glad that you introduce yourself, because I'm always glad to hear from you. Love the puns, especially the first one. Very early on in our relationship, I took a few pictures of my bottom after a spanking. But, the quality was terrible. And, like you, I had and have a fear of being "outed." There may be some point--like when we're older and retired--when I won't care much about being outed, but we are far from there now. My wife is definitely not an exhibitionist, and I'm really not either. Which may seem odd, given that I have a blog visited by a few thousand strangers!

    1. I use my phone to take pictures, and so far, I'm impressed with the quality.

  4. Yes to a few of your questions. We have a room with a large mirror and I've watched her spanking me a number of times. Also many of my spankings involve a number of implements, and not only does she take a picture of my well spanked bottom but takes a picture after each implement, then the final picture when the spanking is over. No we don't show them, they are for our pleasure.

  5. I never had any photos taken and have never had any desire. Our spankings were strictly discipline spankings and when they were over my wife was off doing whatever and I was told to get moving do what I was told. I was given a very short time to recover. I also did not want to be "outed" and although my wife told her best friend I do not think she wanted the world to know.

  6. I'm not in a DD relationship but I have done some "self-spanking" over the years. I have some video and still pics of a self-paddling that I did using a camera mounted on a tripod with a self-timer. That's about it...

  7. I took a few selfies the other day after my wife had spanked me. It is difficult to do it, but I got a good look at my butt all red. I deleted the photos. Have to admit those were the first selfies I have taken.

  8. My wife has taken videos but only of my facial expressions. Both the sounds and the images of the pain that a true discipline session gives are there to remind me of my place and the consequences
    of breaking rules that i have agreed to follow.

    1. It's interesting that you focus on the aspect of facial expressions, because that is what lead me to think about this issue. The two things I would be interested to see are my expressions while receiving a true discipline spanking, and her expression while giving one. I doubt we will go there any time in the near future, as neither of us are willing to risk such a video coming into the hands of someone else.

  9. While we have never taken a picture or video, I am able to look up into a large mirror and see the reflection of my wife administering my punishment spanking. She always has a very determined and stern facial expression. Once it is over, I always look in the mirror to see how red and swollen my rear end had become.

  10. Hey you guys. Great blog Dan. My English wife is 56 and we have been married for 24 years. She is slim and wiry with a great body and has short grey hair. Corporal punishment is administered to me in the form of a sound caning when I need it. This is usually every 3 months or so. My wife has over the years grown to enjoy using the cane on me. It is always on the bare bottom and usually she gives me 10 very hard strokes. I like to see her in the mirror as she canes me. I enjoy seeing the expressions on her face as she brings back her strong right arm and take s careful aim. At this point she has a look of great concentration. Then after the stroke whistles throughout the air and lands on my bottom there is a look of great satisfaction that spreads over her face. If she lands an especially good one and the stripe is just where she wants it to be she will say a loud 'YES' as she admires her handiwork. Then her satisfied expression may change to mild irritation if I have neglected to count the stroke (thats always my job) or thanked her for the stroke promptly ( that is also compulsory). In the event that I have failed to do either of those things then she will announce that we are not going to count that one. Her face then changes to being rather more stern but with a hint of a grin or with a trace of a smirk. I may protest at this point but she will often remain quiet and will wait for me to behave and comply and present my bottom nicely over the dining room chair once again. She may bend the cane between her finger tips during this little performance. All classic stuff. I do enjoy seeing her facial expressions and watching her arm sweep down as the cane is applied. She is very good at it these days and so , yes Dan. I do like to watch. I do have some pictures of my bottom with some weals that are standing out like pencils. Nicely spaced in he main. Very long weals right across from one side to the other. Happy days.

    1. Tommy, thanks the compliment and the comment. You have me convinced that I need to set up a mirror in our punishment room. Though, it might be a bit hard to explain why we would need a mirror on the inside of a large storage closet!

  11. I love the idea of videotaping a spanking session, but we have not done it. The main reason for not taking a video is fear of it falling into the wrong hands and ending up posted somewhere. I love looking at pictures and videos posted by others. I don't care for pictures that focus on the man getting the spanking. The images that do it for me are the ones that emphasize the woman either giving a spanking or obviously about to give one. I get to see my wife in the "obviously about to give one" moments but I am in no position to watch her during the actual spanking. I don't think a mirror would help much. Even if I could see her, I am pre-occupied during that time.

  12. In my past relationship we used to record certain aftermaths with a Polaroid that I would write the date and the number of swats on. However, the most strangely embarrassing thing was when we agreed to videotape a spanking. This was about 1985 and video cameras were these huge, clunky VHS things. We set it up on a tripod and hit the record button and just did what we normally did.

    Afterwards we watched it and I got to see what I looked like when spanked. I was embarrassed to see my winces and grimaces but I sort of expected that. What shocked me was the way my bottom wobbled like Jello upon impact. I did not expect it and it looked humiliatingly comical. I asked my then-wife if that's what it always looked like and she replied "every time". After I got more experience on the giving end in later years, and after watching some other videos, I came to accept the impact-wobble as a natural and understandable consequence of flesh being struck. It made sense. But seeing it for the first time on my own behind just made me blush. Being spanked sort of humbles a person to begin with. The bare exposure, the pain, and the reddening all have that effect. Adding that unexpected but flagrant, silly, cartoonish jelly-wiggle after every single smack to what my spankers were always treated to when punishing me, just blew me away.

  13. I have been paddled and (mostly) flogged a number of times in front of a full-length mirror - including in some hotel rooms - and she probably enjoys it more than I do (I can see her and my own sorry face, but not my own backside, of course!)

    We have a few good pictures of her being spanked (including some taken by friends!) and some (fewer) - taken by her with controlled release - of my being caned or whipped... but these have been seen only by her sister...
