Hello all. I hope you're having a good weekend. I'm getting some other things done around the house this weekend. The conversation has been a little light this week, and next week is Thanksgiving for those in the U.S. So, I'm going to skip posting this week.
I hope you have a fun and relaxing time with friends and family. If you're traveling, be safe.

ReplyDeleteAnd to you.
DeleteThat was from me… Spanked Cowboy
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and best wishes on shopping avoidance!
ReplyDeleteBEWARE: we are entering the season of the year when wives discover or re-discover preventative spanking. If approached, tell her it doesn't work,isn't needed,is unfair or totally unnecessary. You just need to be firm with her
ReplyDeleteAlan
So true.
DeleteAlan, for me, the opposite is true. Preventative spankings have worked very well for us, especially before going on a trip, as I tend to get stressed out, and a good spanking will always calm me down. As far as me being firm with her, I enjoy it much more when she is firm with me!
DeleteI'm pretty sure Alan was speaking very tongue-in-cheek.
DeleteWooden spoons are on sale. 😅😅. JR.
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to throw away those advertising mailings before they make it into the house.
DeleteI give thanks to the non-existing omnipotent being that in the UK we don't have late November public holidays LOL. Cheers GLM.
ReplyDeleteSo, we Brits (GLF and me) prefer our "thanksgiving for harvest" (i.e., British "Hockey" or "Horkey") in late September or early October (like the Canucks). Just as much food and merriment, but lots more time for end-of-year Holiday Shopping!

Yeah, with it's heavy connection to food, it would seem to make more sense to have Thanksgiving closer to harvest time. Though, that would crowd Halloween. Personally, I'd be fine with Thanksgiving just going away.
DeleteHistorical records (diaries of participants) strongly suggest the original "Pilgrims Thanksgiving" occurred very close the the Christian day of Fall festivities, "Michaelmas," typically falling on/around September 29th. (It was only much later, over a century later, that state legislature started codifying specific dates.)
DeleteHoliday gatherings have been a dangerous time for me, as two of my most serious spankings were for rudeness to my in laws. Neither one of those occurred at Thanksgiving time, but the potential for a misstep certainly increases.

I hate living any aspect of my life as a cliché, but I have that kind of relationship with my in-laws. It began with detesting my wife's siblings then spread to include her mother. Thankfully for our relationship and my butt, she detests hare siblings even more than I do, and this year she and her mother have had a significant split. So, I may have an in-law free holiday season for the first time in 30 years.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving everyone!
ReplyDeleteSame to you!
DeleteI t was at a Thanksgiving dinner that me husband argued with and insulted my mother . The next day she blistered his behind and he still thinks about it five decades later! Happy Thanksgiving
DeleteThankfully, my mother-in-law wasn't with us today. (Though, honestly, she's also way too passive aggressive for something like paddling a son-in-law to ever happen.)
DeleteHope that you all have a relaxing spank free "Appreciation Day".
ReplyDeleteYou as well!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to all.

Same to you, T.
DeleteWondering …and a Question
ReplyDeleteMiss E alluded to the Thanksgiving spanking her husband received. I will call it his “epiphany” spanking, using epiphany to mean the experience of a sudden intuitive grasp of the essence of something. This seems to be the moment he marks as seminal in his journey toward DD and spanking.
Much of the prevailing thinking about the roots of a spanking fetish and the lifelong impact of spanking points to this happening to most spankos. That is something—a book, a person, an experience, or? “trigger” a pre-existing (predisposition) to spanking or being spanked. What precisely produces the pre-disposition is unknown. It is probably some combination of genetics, hormones, gender, and environment. The predisposition itself probably exists in far more people than there are actual spankos, the difference being the “trigger” experience. Dan has mentioned his trigger experience, discovering the DWC. As I recollect, one or two other posters have also described such. But most seem to relate spanking interest to an early time not well recalled.
So, my question to anyone who can answer is: What do you remember about your evolving interest in spanking, and most particularly, what triggered the need to be spanked? Does anyone have an experience like Miss E’s husband or a late experience like Dan's? What was your epiphany?

Even with the anonymity provided by a site like this my husband is reluctant or incapable of sharing his path to confronting accepting his submissive side. A child of the 1959s he was spanked twice once by a neighbor, bare bottom, and once by a teacher, paddled over pants. He describes an ongoing fascination with anything mentioning spanking. He was terrified oof anyone knowing he was spanked.. some 10 years later after the Thanksgiving incident I mentioned my mom waited to confront him when no one was present. He was so worried that the family would find out he submitted at 20 to be spanked. He also was confused about why he submitted. He had described the feeling of relief he fekt after each spanking, each one followed by concerns about others finding out.. it seems that having someone take complete control was a relief.My mom applied a razor strop which broke the skin and left welts and left him very uncomfortable sitting for a few days,. To this day the sight of my strap can immediately change his demeanor.
DeleteI am sorry he confronted all that shame, fear of exposure, and confusion about what was happening. His experience brings emphasis to the need for all of us to understand and accept ourselves and our sexuality. The spanking impulse is a gift when received and understood for what it is. He was fortunate to have you to help him navigate through it all. Your posts, experiences, and insights contribute to us all -- and perhaps particularly to some younger women who want to support their partners as you have.

Alan, while it's kind of similar to our many "origins" posts, I can try to work this into a separate topic. I would have done it for the upcoming week, but I was in the middle of creating one, which I've now posted. It's a little early, but I decided to give people some more time, given the likelihood that many will be traveling this weekend.
