Asked & Answered!
It’s March 29, so Q&A month is nearly over. I figured I would take some time today to answer the questions some of you posed to me. I didn’t get a whole lot of people, but several of you asked more than one question, so this will probably be a long entry.
MrJ: So: what are the 2, 3 most interesting changes in the spanking world that you have observed since you got involved? Etiquettes; networks; habits, whatever?
The changes in the video industry, certainly. With the advent of streaming content, Spanking Tube, etc., there is a whole lot more available for viewers than ever before. Shooting a video used to be a big production; now, more often, it’s quick clips, no scripts, no elaborate story line. Also, the party scene has grown tremendously. It used to be that Shadow Lane and Crimson Moon were the only games in town, as far as big weekend parties were concerned. Now we have BBW, FMS, TASSP, and several other smaller groups; many more chances for spankos to congregate en masse. And finally, blogging has changed the posting world. It used to be all about forums and groups (Yahoo and MSN, the now-defunct SSS), but these days, blogs (and picture collections) are in the forefront.
MrJ: Why do you prefer winter over summer?
I don’t like sunshine and heat. My happiest, most serene days are cloudy, gray and cool. Granted, I live in CA, where we don’t have much of a winter. But I relish our rainy, dark days. I sleep better when it’s cool. And I love it when it gets dark at 5:00! Daylight lasting until 8:00 annoys the hell out of me. Yes, I’m weird.
Lea: First, how many implements has your iron ass caused to bite the dust? 😉 Second, what piece of advice would you give to someone new to this?
Ha! I haven’t kept count over the years. Several canes, yardsticks, hairbrushes, and a few miscellaneous items. Oh, and this butter paddle (from Spanking Epics, The Puritan):
Loki: I was always curious as to the reasons behind your weekly play. Why do you do it and would it be a good idea for others?
Oh dear. I'm afraid that I do not know what CHoS means.

Erica, it was through Epic Spanking Movies, "The Puritan", that I laid my eyes on that voluptous bare bottom of yours. And I have loved you and your wonderous blog ever since. Thank you.

Six — thanks! Actually, I goofed. I was in "The Puritan" as well, but the spanking didn't happen in that sector of the Epics trilogy. This photo is from the final episode, "The Reckoning."

Interesting answer – the videos, the web and other new media as the key change…They have changed friendship, politics and what not. Just wondering what they did to spanking practice, apart from – I guess – helping soe to feel less lonely / weird. Thanks.

MrJ — as far as etiquette and politics are concerned, the old adage fits: The more things change, the more they remain the same. General rules still apply, and people still battle and argue over what's what, the definitions, is spanking part of BDSM, is spanking better than BDSM, should everyone try switching, blah blah blah. As for making people feel less weird, I would say the Internet has made great strides in connecting all of us, and making us aware of just how many of us out there share the same types of thoughts and desires. Back "in my day" (insert eye roll here), there was no such universal connection.

Erica,Well done, thanks. Love all the questions and the answers, I agre the scene is changing and your review is perfect. I do see myself some leaning towards harder play and implements but I think you answered it with the warm up question. It seems to me before, even in a discipline scene, there was always a warm up but now many go right to the action if you will.Sandra Bullock, no dount, sassy, smart, pretty but also with a beautiful bottom like yours….she would be perfect.WOnderful, thanks.AlwaysRon
