I haven’t done a Kink of the Week topic in a while. I looked at the list, and discovered that I’ve missed two full two week cycles, but that Jade left them open (possibly by accident, but I’m willing to take advantage of that). Both the topics that I missed are ones that I have a lot to say about. So, like the horribly naughty girl I am, I’m just going to slide this homework into the bottom of the pile and hope that my teacher believes it was there the entire time.
The kink of the week topic (from a while ago) was Dacryphilia, or the fetish surrounding crying. Without further ado, I shall now address this!
My most read post on this blog is one from 2012 entitled “On Being Spanked to Tears.” In it, I outlined the different ways in which a spanking could lead me to cry. Three years later, I’ve grown and learned and experienced many more things, and I’d like to add some new thoughts on the topic.
Why crying?
Crying is something which carries a great deal of importance for many spankos. I get the impression that spanking is one of the fetishes which most embraces, or even focuses on, dacryphilia. When I started crying on one of my first spanking video shoots, I felt almost embarrassed by it, but the producer called my tears “liquid gold” and told me that a tear covered face was “the moneyshot” of spanking videos. So what is it about crying that is so central to a large number of people’s spanking kinks?
The first is the idea that tears are tied into the “realness” of a spanking. I hear this often in comments various places where I post spanking photos on the internet: “It’s not a real spanking unless you make her cry.” I haven’t spent enough time immersed in other kink communities to know whether or not they have a similar obsession with verisimilitude as the spanking community presents, but I know that for spankos, we talk about what makes a spanking real all the time. Tears are very tied into this.
Part of this obsession with making spankings real comes from the fact that a lot of our fantasies are based on things that actually happened in the past. I don’t knock this at all, and totally embrace that many of my core fantasies are based around the recreation of school, institutional or domestic punishments that used to actually take place. So, sometimes the word “real” is meant to mean “similar to a historic/real life spanking situation.” And in our conceptions of those scenes, tears are a key part. The first hand accounts of these punishments that we read or hear almost always end with the spankee bawling, sobbing and crying uncontrollably. Of course they would: these punishments were painful, embarrassing and, whether we want to focus on this or not, non consensual.
Before I was ever spanked, I read as much writing about spanking as I could, and I remember being deeply engulfed in the fantasy of being helpless, overpowered, intimidated by authority, stripped, held down and thoroughly chastised. These fantasies always ended with me in tears. Now that I spend my life actually enjoying spanking play, I like to recreate these fantasies. I like to make them as realistic to what I imagined as possible. I buy uniforms from school uniform suppliers, or even better, find vintage ones that were being worn at a time when corporal punishment was actually practiced. I get implements that are also vintage, and which were actually used in the original situations. When I can, I like to dress up the setting, finding places to play that look like I’ve stepped into my fantasy world. And I like to be spanked hard and, if it’s possible, pushed to cry. My tears are part of what makes it feel like I’ve truly created the scene from my fantasy. In this situation, “realness” can be better defined as “authenticity” and tears add to that. [Author’s note: I do not actually support non consensual corporal punishment of any kind, and fantasizing about recreating something in a way which is positive and consensual is not the same as supporting the original institution from which my fantasies stem.]
Another thing which I believe has influenced the spanking community’s interest in tears is the way which spanking pornography evolved. In the pre-internet days, before the first spanking videos were even available, spanking porn was delivered via magazine. It was much harder to find a like minded partner at this time, so spanking porn carried even more importance: for many people with spanking fetishes, those magazines would be the only way they’d ever get to interact with their kink. When you look at spanking in still photographs, it is very hard to tell whether someone is actually being spanked or if it’s just a picture. It’s even harder to tell if the spanking has been severe or “transient and trifling.” One can easily use acting to make a facial expression that depicts being in pain. There are only two things that can make a still image show that a hard spanking is actually taking place: the presence of marks and the presence of tears. Admittedly, neither of these things is actually a good litmus test for the severity of a scene, since some people simply never cry, others can cry from a light hand spanking, some people will be bruised purple by the same hand spanking but others can take a good, hard caning and have only a pink bottom to show for it after. But these visual queues at least suggest to us that a spanking is actually happening and that it actually hurts. Even now that our spanking pornography is primarily videographic, we often continue to identify the severity of a scene based on these two visual queues, hence the fact that my tears were liquid gold to the producer in my earlier story. Both tears and marks send us a strong visual message: that a spanking is happening here and it’s real: here, realness can be defined as a spanking carrying any level of severity.
Leaving aside realness, there’s another thing that makes tears very appealing to many spankos: vulnerability. No matter who a person is, they’re vulnerable when they cry. They’ve let their guard down and they’re showing you their inner emotion. They aren’t fighting against you or resisting you as you spank them. They are, in a way, letting you in. This is the draw of tears for many spankos. Tears are a sign of intimacy. Tears are a sign that your feelings are genuine. Tears are a sign that lessons are being taken to heart. Of course, a person can be vulnerable without crying, but tears give you a tangible sign of this vulnerability. For the person crying, tears can be refreshing. They can give an emotional release. They can get something out that words can’t articulate. Communicating this way can be very emotionally intimate and draw people together.
Of course, no matter the reason, not everyone likes tears. For some, the presence of tears makes them worry that they’ve really upset or truly hurt their partner. Others find tears or being made to cry triggering, as a reminder of a time when something non consensual brought about that sort of emotional state. Others don’t like to be that vulnerable, and that’s entirely okay, too. Despite all the reasons why tears may make something feel more authentic or more real, a scene can be perfectly wonderful and very real without them,
What makes a spanko cry?
Personally, I cry all the time. Outside of the spanking world, I cry when I’m sad, lonely, scared, hurt, even angry. I’ve always cried a lot. I was made fun of for it throughout most of my life, often being called a crybaby or other similar taunts. As an adult, I was made to feel that crying was something I should find embarrassing, that it was a mark of lack of self control or that I wasn’t a “real adult” (another concept that has caused me a lot of struggle).
The first time I was ever spanked, I didn’t just cry, I sobbed. I cried until I shook, in a way which was extremely disproportionate to the severity of the spanking I was receiving. It took me a long time to unwind the tight ball of emotions that I felt there, but the primary one was relief. I was relieved that after eighteen long years of carrying around this seemingly dark secret, my most precious fantasy was coming to life. And, once I started crying, I was relieved to discover that it was perfectly acceptable in this situation to cry when I felt the impulse to.
Crying from a spanking isn’t something rare for me. I’d say that it happens about 40% of the time that I have a serious scene. It’s not uncommon for someone to specifically ask to make me cry, either in my personal play or during a video or session. Other people have asked me to make them cry when I was Topping them, or to teach them how to make someone cry. It isn’t this simple. Everyone is different and every spanking presents a different set of emotional and physical stimuli. Like during that first spanking I received, the cause of what brings one to tears can be hard to unravel. It can be caused or hindered by a variety of things. Here are some of those that I’ve discovered.
Crying fueled by regret for bad behavior:
This was one of the causes of crying which I identified in my post three years ago. This is one of the causes of tears that people most often think about when imagining a punishment spanking. You feel bad about what you did, so, aided by the scolding words and pain associated with your punishment, you cry. It’s important to point out that just because someone isn’t crying during a disciplinary spanking, that doesn’t mean that they don’t regret whatever they did to earn the punishment. Everyone expresses their emotions in a different way. This reason for crying is something which the Top can influence to a degree, especially with the words they choose when scolding, and by creating an environment in which the bottom feels safe to be vulnerable. For me, sternness, seriousness and calm are important in creating this sort of atmosphere.
One thing I noted in my original post which I highly agree with is that if someone is crying due to regret for bad behavior during a scene which isn’t meant to be disciplinary, then something isn’t right. Sometimes, the differences between funishment or play punishment and real discipline can get blurred, and it’s important to make it clear to the person that you’re playing with what kind of spanking you’re really giving them.
Crying fueled by letting someone down
I realized recently that, to me, there’s a difference between the feeling of regretting having misbehaved and feeling bad that I’ve disappointed someone that I respect. In detangling the feelings that I have when I get a real punishment spanking, I’ve realized that a large part of what makes it emotional for me isn’t just the fact that what I did was wrong and needs to be corrected, it’s also the fact that I’ve let down a person who I love and respect. This is part of the reason that I only have an interest in doing these kinds of scenes with someone who I know well and feel these feelings towards. Because, really, we all know which stings more: a hairbrush or the words “I’m disappointed in you.” Just knowing that I’ve let my partner down will almost always bring tears to my eyes, without even the need for anything else.
Crying fueled by stress relief or emotional release
Sometimes, a person who gets spanked just needs to be spanked. They have too much bottled up emotionally. They are having trouble focusing because their mind is full of distractions and they need something to center them. Life is just wearing them down, and they need to not have the responsibility of being in control all the time. This kind of crying can come from any kind of spanking, and I think that’s it’s actually fairly common, although you can intentionally try to create this atmosphere for a person who needs it by providing a safe and secure emotional environment surrounding the scene. For me, this works best when it’s a mixture of caring and sternness, and when the spanking slowly builds up to a place where I can’t resist it anymore and I *have* to let my vulnerability physically manifest.
Crying fueled by submission or surrender
This is another one of the types of crying that I identified in my much earlier post. I wrote that post when I was a fairly new submissive, and when subspace was something which remained very alien to me. Here’s what I had to say:
Some bottoms talk about subspace- going off into some floaty, magical, trance-like, trippy state from getting a very hard beating which pushes them towards submission. They sink into the bed, they stop feeling pain, they float on endorphins, they get high, they can’t talk properly…
This doesn’t happen for me (although it did once). I’m a very cerebral person, and I’m uncomfortable letting go of my awareness. Instead, when I’ve been pushed to a place where I cease my fighting, I get to a point of submissive crying. It’s a calm sort of sobbing where there’s no urgency in the sound. I’ve given myself over to the spanking that I’m receiving and I have no will regarding when it will end. It’s certainly not as exciting to talk about, or as filled with mystery and intrigue as traditionally described subspace is, but the land of my submission is just a place where I lie still and take a lot of hurt and cry about it. It probably sounds pretty pathetic to a listener, and it doesn’t feel “good” in a traditional sense, but it’s a very peaceful place where I feel incredibly safe and loved.
Nowadays, the more traditional subspace is no longer illusive to me the way it used to be, but I still find myself getting into this kind of “submissive cry space” (that’s a technical term :P) on a pretty regular basis. “Traditional” subspace doesn’t actually feel so submissive to me: it feels passive, and I identify those two things as being related but different. When I’m in a deep subspace, I don’t really feel things the same way. I’ve let myself be taken to a place where spankings don’t actually really hurt. When I’m in this space, I still feel everything, but I’ve given up my resistance to those feelings and I’m willing to let them happen. This is a place that one should only go to with someone they truly trust, since it basically means that you’re just going to let someone do whatever they want to you and not resist, but it can be a very beautiful thing in the right situation.
Crying fueled by physical pain
When I wrote my original post, I said that I felt like it was taboo to admit that I sometimes cry because spankings hurt that much. I don’t know if I think that anymore. I think that’s dangerous for a Top to believe that crying is the *only* sign of physical pain, or that by increasing the amount of pain that you’re causing someone you can *make* them cry, but I do think that it’s very common for people to simply cry because something hurts. I have to feel safe in order to do this, and I have to feel some sort of connection to the Top that I’m playing with, but this is honestly a very common reason for me to start crying. This hurts: that’s what this is all about. And sometimes, this hurts enough to make me cry. Nothing more complicated than that. That’s okay. There doesn’t have to be some grand and difficult to explain background behind everything. Sometimes, it’s just that someone is hitting you with a piece of wood and that hurts enough to make you cry.
Bad tears
The spanking community puts so many positive associations on crying that it can sometimes be easy to forget that crying isn’t always a good thing. For some people, crying is a sign that they are upset and that the scene needs to stop. If someone starts crying in a way that you don’t expect from them, or from a scene that wasn’t meant to be that intense, it’s a good idea to check in. Sometimes, when a person starts crying, it’s because the spanking isn’t fun anymore. The scene isn’t working for them. But if they’re already in an emotional place where they feel particularly passive, it can be hard to use their safeword. While it might break up the scene in a way that isn’t ideal to check in with your partner, it’s better to be safe than sorry in this case.
Other times, a person cries during a scene because, to put it in the vernacular, the Top is being a dick. Using people’s fears, playing to their insecurities, saying insulting or hurtful things and other forms of emotional sadism certainly get inside someone’s head and make them cry, but it isn’t creating the kind of safe vulnerability that I talked about before: it’s just being abusive. The bottom is crying because they’re hurt in a bad way. It’s entirely possible to do consensual emotional sadism/masochism scenes: there are people who are into that. But this is something that has to be very explicitly negotiated before playing. Additionally, it’s important that if you are going to play this way, that the people who are around you (if you’re playing in a public space) know what you’re about to do and that what you’re doing is consensual: probably not the best scene for a suite party.
So, bottoms, do you cry when you get spanked? Tops, do you like it when the person you are playing with cries from a spanking? Do tears carry a certain emotional weight to you? What do they bring to the spanking? Let me know in the comments section!
[Final author’s note: I used the term “we” a lot in this post. I do not mean to speak for everyone in the spanking community: this is just shorter to say than “many people in the spanking community.” I hope this was not offensive to anyone.]
For those of you who don’t know, Kink of the Week is a biweekly prompt which opens up a conversation between bloggers across the kink and sex writing spectrum, each focusing on how they feel about a particular kinky topic. ❤︎
I always appreciate the realism in many of the films you or other actresses star in. – In my own real life bedroom activity, girlfriends and I were usually laughing too much when we did kinky activity for it to be erotic, but it was fun and games for both partners…
Everyone plays in a different way!I like to play on a more intense emotional level than some people.
This is the best explanation for tears I have ever seen. Well done. It’s easy, for me anyway, to forget there are many sources for tears.
Thank you so much for your words of praise! They mean a lot to me. 😀
A very well thought out treatise on this subject. There are a lot of reasons for tears. One top I know who makes videos views tears as a gift the bottom gives the top.
I hope you don’t mind my sharing some of my own experiences.
Since I started in this spanking thing, I have cried every time except for a few times I have played with others besides my regular top. The first time I was spanked, I cried as I thought of my late husband. It had only been a little over a year since he died. My top told me that I went into subspace. That sort of started the flood gates opening. I found I have a lot of pent up stuff inside that needs to come out. When my top and I decided to go for an hour and a half, there was one session where I cried very hard for a solid hour! That was a very powerful session.
It is when I get into my headspace that I start to cry and go into subspace. I have only on occasion felt a bit spacy and going in and out of that particular part of subspace. I have found that my body goes into subspace before I do. It is funny to watch me try to get up after the session.
My top encourages me to cry and she will tell me to let it go. She knows I have a lot of stuff that got buried deep inside and crying for me is a release.
Thank you so much for sharing your own experiences! I’m so glad you did. I’m glad you were able to get the release you needed. Hugs!
How are you so awesome? What a comprehensive and eloquent analysis of the topic of tears! I don’t cry as easily as you do, but when I do it’s usually the disappointment kind, very rarely the actual fear/pain kind, but they have happened, and sadly I’ve experienced the bad kind too. As long as they’re not the bad kind, they definitely make a scene more special and memorable for me, partly due to their relative rarity, partly because I have to go to a pretty vulnerable place to get to tears.
I <3 you, Lily! Thanks for your comment! I definitely agree that tears can make a scene special and make it stand out in my mind!
Great post, Alex. I have a question for you and your readers, though.
Do male spankees cry? Is this something you’ve seen much, or at all? I’m genuinely curious because, as you may or may not know, I’m pretty new to bottoming and it’s not something that’s been on my radar. Not until a young lady that my wife and I met brought it up.
We were talking with her about becoming an occasional disciplinarian for me and so we discussed the different types of implements, positions, and spankings. Then she said to me, “Do you need to cry?”
I was taken aback because for a woman to make a manly 6ft-something man in his mid-30s (ahem, close enough), to make him cry?? But the question has niggled at me and now I’ve seen your post I thought maybe you could address it. How would you even feel if you spanked a man and he cried?!
Again, great post as ever. 🙂
Hiya, Mark!
Yes! Crying is definitely not gender segregated. I’ve made a lot of men cry when I’ve spanked them, actually. It can be harder for men to cry because of all the social constructs about men crying that they’ve been conditioned with. It makes me feel good when I can bring someone (who wants to be brought there) to the point of tears. I know how important getting to that place is to me, so I want to share that with people, male or female.
I might write a whole post on this topic soon.
Hugs to you!

Hey Alex. Love your blog site. Enjoy reading about you. I did have a question. When you top a spankee, do you ever get aroused? Or what about topping might turn you on a little? Just curious in Sacramento.
Hiya, thanks for your comment! While I find both topping and bottoming gratifying, I do find bottoming more erotic, but the same things that trigger arousal in me as a bottom can work for me as a Top: scolding coupled with vulnerability, strictness et cetera. Some people who I top react in ways that I truly enjoy.
I definitely have some fantasies about topping that I really want to explore, though. Usually when I top, it’s more about the person I’m spanking than me and what I want.
Someone’s been reading the ATVOD regulations!
Seriously though, great post. There was a fascinating discussion on this topic a few years ago which became quite heated, as there was quite a bit of back and forth between a group of (male?) viewers, who were asking why tears weren’t more common – one fellow even suggested using onions to force them to appear – and another group of active models who were trying to explain that it was a bit more complicated than that.
Damned if I can dig up the link though. That said, if you are interested Pandora Blake might remember where this all took place. I seem to recall she was a contributor to the thread.
Hi iwasrobert!
Of course I’ve been reading the ATVOD: it’s had a big effect on my life. Scrolling back through a few more posts and you’ll see I’ve had a lot to say on it, too. I found it entertaining to borrow their language 😛
Interesting discussion. It’s always hard to find old threads like that! 🙂
Yes, Alex, shedding tears upon being spanked is realism as you might have guessed. Especially when a cane is used. Yes, a CANE must PAIN, so shed a TEAR my DEAR, is a motto, most appropriate, that I often use.
I like a real spanking like the kind that goes on until I am sobbing. I finally opened up to boyfriend of 8 month that I like spanking. So we tried a few times. He spanked me until he was comfortable a few time. Than he spanked me until I safe worded out a few times. He gave me a few timed 2 minutes hand spanking a few weeks later which was pretty good. But they were always over my cloths. Than I told what I really wanted to try. Told him I wanted a no-nonsense real discipline style spanking until I am crying beyond my ability to make words. I wanted to feel the trepidation of relinquish my safe word. To have no time limit, no swat limit, no protection. I wanted to feel the anticipation of slowly pushing my pants and panties down myself, not knowing when its going to stop or how many I was going to get. I want to try to experience the thrill and endorphins surge of making the choice, to feel adrenaline rush to will myself of staying in position and take it, no matter how bad it hurt until I was crying out of control and feel that cathartic emotional release. He was very reluctant at first and we talked about it for days. I wanted him to start off slower and build up to be more intese. At first he wasn’t wanting to because he was concerned welts and bruises, but he really like the idea of see my bare ass for the first time. After telling him that I expected that. Its still took him over week before he realized I was serious. He finally decided to give it a try. We had to wait for his roommate to leave for the weekend. We got to his place. I slowly pushed my jeans and panties all the down my knees. He put me over his lap started spanking me with his hand really hard for a really long time. I mean after a good solid minute or so, than started with rapid fire smacks for another 3 while I was fluttering my feet like all get out. He finally let me up and I did that post spanking hop. I stiffened up, flew my hands over my ass as I pushed my hips forward and began rubbing frantically, as I was hoping up and down. I was far from crying but I sure was fussing because that was the hardest and longest hand spanking I had ever got. After I calmed down enough stay in one place. He went to his room and came back a pillow. He pulled off his leather but fairly thin office belt doubled it half and asked me. “Ok, are you absolutely sure, no safe word, no time limit and no swat limit?” I respond with a yes. “Ok, that means I decide when this whippin stops, not you, you sure that’s what you want, I mean it this belt spanking will continue until you are crying so hard you can’t make out words?” There I was jeans and panties down to ankles now. As I was still rubbing I looked directly into his eyes, I shuffled over and gently put my arms around him and hugged him. I gave him a long passainate kissed ever so gently and I and said, “Yes, please, I really do want to try this. So please don’t hold back but just start of slowly ok?” “You’ll get quit a few before I finish you off. Remember, your safe word is nullified the moment you laid over couch. I laid over the arm of the couch after he gave me his bed pillow to hang on too. He started in hard and continuous about one whack per second and it just seem to go on and on. I was fussing and yelling quite a bit every time the belt came down. Than right no where he startes beating my ass really and really fast. It took my breath away. I shoved my face I to my pillow and started biting it trying to muffle my screaming. He wasn’t stopping, instinctively I tried shouting my safe word but he ignored it and he kept whacking away. I was kicking and screaming and it seemed like it would never end. I don’t know how long it lasted but I finally broke into sobbing but he still kept whipping my ass hard and fast. When he finally stopped I was bawling so hard I was hiccup crying and my eyes were all puffy and stinging as tears were flowing. I just laid there sobbing. I couldn’t believe I was actually able to will myself to accept it. Its was pure release. Am I the only who likes getting spanked so hard?
No, you are not the only one who likes getting spanked so hard. I count myself so very lucky in that I found a woman on Fetlife a bit over a year ago who gives me very severe disciplinary spankings. She and I discussed this at great length for well over a month before we met. When we finally did it was with the agreement that she calls the shots. We agreed that I would have no safe word. I did not want one. I have never been to the point where it was unbearable and I suppose that if it were I could get her to stop but I trust her fully and know she will not attempt to destroy me. Ceding control to her and willing my mind and body to accept and work through the pain is a challenge and when she does finish, and I am almost always wracked with sobs, I feel elated and victorious for having survived. I try to keep still, which is so hard to do when having her almost half inch thick Scottish tawse slammed repeatedly against my bare upthrust butt or getting paddled with her sororoity paddle and it is again with a sense of pride and accomplishment if and when I can (and I don’t always succeed). Being spanked to tears leaves me in a state of bliss after it’s all over and she gives me great aftercare that brings me down gently.
People around me have literally no idea of my private life of submission and the satisfaction I get from allowing myself to really let go and have my man be dominate in this area. I have a very type A personality, highly motivated and I keep people at bay with a tuff and brash exterior. I love the girl power exterior but I love the complete submission to my man. I doubt anyone would even believe me either. Its like I find complete security in surrendering to my man and my private life keeps my external life in check too. With my relationship, it helps me not to fight with him and respect him like I should. Its like taming a wild horse.i know I’m riddle with contradiction sometimes aren’t I.
But what’s more addicting is the actual spanking itself. I feel I am actually addicted to real hard spankings. But is the appeal for me? Willing wanting to submit myself to my man. The endorphin high feeling I get when I’m struggling and willingly give up control durring the spanking. The power exchange of turning that control over to him. Its like the harder the spanking the more endorphin rush I get as it continues and I get all turned on. I love the conflict. It’s the adrenaline rush of being brought to brink between pain and surrender when the fight or flight kicks in. When the pain is so great I begin to physically tear my pillow apart with my teeth. I love the conflict of being push right to that point fighting with inside weather I should give up and stop the pain or relinquish that struggle and give in to it and allow myself to cry from it. I’m not really into bondage but a spanking very primal and personal to me. The strange thing is, I find satifaction crying for when but I resist it at the sametime durring the spanking. I feel I’m just a freak somtimes.
For me I could not allow myself to be restrained, I understand everyone is defferent though, I love the struggle to stay in position. I love the battle with the will power to take accept it willingly. There is just something in the moment of having my behind set fire and being that venerable to my man and no one else. It the adrenaline and endorphin rush to allow myself to be at my point of my spanking pain threshold that I find so addicting. Where my mind, my body and my will power are all in conflict. I am a crying because I want to be but I have to force myself to submit to the point of surrender. Once I am there and my pain threshold is at it’s peak, weather is conscience or subconscious I make the decision to cry and sob and that’s what I want too. I want the bonding experience to be bawling in the arms of the man I love. I hope I am making sense. Am I a pain freak? If I am it only a spanking pain freak.
That’s why, weather it’s a discipline spanking or a cathartic release, I want the same kind of experience. A real hard unbearable spanking that takes me to brink of conflict. The difference with is how Michael feels. If I really disappoint him my than I seem to accept it as discipline and correction. But if I need that release and its my crazy emotions running away with me inside. I just need that adrenaline fix and bonding experience with him. Both provide more bonding feelings with him.
But since I have such high pain tolerance, really good satisfactory spanking for the both of us, it has to be giving to me a certain way to get me to the point of fight and flight and pain and surrender and will power conflict that I am addicted too. We have tried heavy thud thick paddles and thick wide western belts with slow type swats really hard but he would just end up stopping because of the condition of my backside. He just wasn’t conformable to continuing and he wouldnt get so much as even a peep from me except a few grown. But what we discovers is that it’s not so much how hard he hit me. I’d wiggle, gigle, flex and clench some though. We discovered it was what he uses and how he was using it. We discovered that for me, the thinner stinger implements are better. We discovered that it wasn’t a matter of how hard but duration and intensity. It he uses lighter weight but sturdy implements or thinner office belt that sting a lot more apply them real rapidly for much longer period works the best. I know lucky me, right. I will wiggle, giggle, flex and clench but often times it will take Michael several minutes of continuous rapid fire style spanking to get to that point of fight and flight and pain and surrender and will power conflict. Everything gets turned on inside when I get to that point. It took serial months for him to adjust to spanking me like that too. At first he felt like a brut. Once we discovered what works, over time he got accustom to it. At first he would feel bad about doing it. Not so much the case anymore though. But I’m addicted to the painful sensation that it give me and being push to my pain threshold struggle. Am I the only one?
Do I love real hard painful spankings, yes, do I hate them sometimes, yes, do I love rapid fire swats for a long time, yes, do I hate sometimes, yes. Do I like shock and awe beginning, yes, do I hate them, yes. I know I’m a mess aren’t I?
Am I a freak, am I weird or am I crazy or all the above? Any thoughts?
