Second Story, Second Chapter

So far it's been slow going with my second story, The E&A Group, but this is largely a function of time. I have an outline and fairly extensive notes and overall a pretty good idea of where I'm trying to go with the story. I'm just having trouble finding the time to continue the story. I have managed to find the time to put together another short chapter though, and I've posted it to SOL.

If anybody is interested, I'd love to hear any comments you have on the story - positive or negative.

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want,

Kasey needs a punishment!

Kasey is heading out of town again for a few days this week. Leaving me without anybody to watch my back while dealing with the little monsters. Hopefully, I'll survive the ordeal.

If I do survive the ordeal, I've been thinking that I need to come up with a special way to welcome her home/give her a little payback for abandoning me. She has actually come up with one idea (see the last part of this post) and perhaps it can be the starting point of something more elaborate. I really wanted her to know just how much she was missed/how bad her abandoning me was.

So, feeling a little short on the creative juices, I'm turning to you my loyal reader(s?) for help with some ideas. Let's hear them. The originator of any idea used will be duly thanked and awarded 1,000 points on the Whose Line is it Anyway rerun of their choice.

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want to be,

From Katie Spades, by way of Bonnie, I came upon the following. I was running a little short on ideas today anyway, so I figured what the heck. Because Bonnie was brave enough to reveal her answers, I'll reveal mine as well.

Scoring: Count up all your "yes" answers. Your "yes" answers are your corruption percentage. For instance, if you answered 30 questions "yes," you are 70% spanking "pure" and 30% spanking "corrupt." Then go find a partner and work on the other 70%.

Fair? Unfair? You be the judge.

Does there have to be a reason for a spanking? Can a spanking be just because the spanker feels like doing it or does the spankee have to earn the spanking by misbehaving in some way?

For Kasey and I there is usually a reason for the spanking. We have a number of rules that violations are punished by spanking. For example, biting my nose, leaving the garage light on or leaving milk out on the counter are all spanking offenses. While Kasey may argue extenuating circumstances from time to time, there really is no question of unfairness with the rules.

She knew the rule.
She knew the consequence.
She broke the rule.
She gets the consequence.
Nothing unfair about it.

Sometimes though, I know she'd enjoy a spanking and I know I'd enjoy giving it to her and we'd both enjoy what comes after, but there hasn't been an infraction that warrants a spanking. In this situation, I'll be accused of all kinds of horrible things - well being unfair at least and possibly being mean as well - if I suggest a spanking.

So I ask you. Is this fair? Here I am trying to make everybody concerned happy and I'm called unfair and possibly even mean.

Wait a minute. I know how to fix this. I'll just make a rule that calling me unfair or perhaps even mean is a spanking offense. Problem solved. :-)

What do you think? Is this the perfect solution to the problem or what?

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want to be,

Dogging Bat

Who says you can't teach an old bbobb a new trick? In a comment, caryagal said that she likes the dogging bat that they have. Dogging bat raises a couple of mental images, such as this big bat - bigger than a flying fox - that herds dogs. Or maybe a quilt filler made of dog hair. (Remember, I warned you that it can be a scary place inside my mind right up front.) Anyway, none of the mental images really seemed to have much to do with spanking, though.

I decided that this must be a gap in my education that needed filling. I'm not sure what grade dogging bats would have been covered in, but at least a couple of my teachers seemed a bit dodgy at the time, so I'll blame one of them for this lack. Maybe the one that we all called Bozo.

Being somewhat familiar with Google, I set about rectifying this lapse. Well, a little research turned up this:

and this: both of which look like a lot of fun. I like the sound of a Spring Steel Center! But, I was still a little stumped as to what exactly a dogging bat was in the vanilla world. Obviously it had something to do with horses, but what did the vanilla folks who bought such an implement use it for.

Of course, it turned out that a fellow spanko had the answer. Down at the bottom of this page at Agony and Ecsatsy, I found my answer. A dogging bat is "a whip used to drive the horse when dogging." Of course that leads to the question, "What's dogging?" But Agony and Ecstasy comes through for me there, dogging is "to throw down a bull jumping on it from a horse."

Mystery solved!

And I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd much rather use a dogging bat on Kasey's bottom than on a horse that I'm about to jump off of and onto a bull. While Kasey isn't completely safe, I'll take her over the running horse and no doubt pissed off bull any day.

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want to be,

What is your favorite material for spanking implements?
	Leather
	Wood
	Metal
	Plastic (including Plexiglass)
	Rubber
	Glass
	Bambo
	Rattan
	Other (please comment)
Free polls from Pollhost.com

What are your implements made of?

Let’s talk about materials. What materials does everybody like for their spanking implements? Is there a difference between the spankees and spankers?

Personally, I really like wood and leather. They give great sounds and they produce excellent color. I’ve also tried my hand, which is fun now and then, but just doesn’t give the same sounds as a nice wooden paddle or a leather slapper. I’ve also tried plastic and maybe it’s something about being a synthetic product rather than a natural product, but it just doesn’t have the same appeal.

Another reason for the appeal of wood and leather is that I can fashion my own toys out of these materials. Then I get to enjoy making them, doing the product testing, and finally using them (which doesn't differ much from product testing, but I come up with a different reason for applying them).

I’ve yet to try rattan or bamboo or any other type of cane - maybe someday in the not too distant future. :-) Another couple of materials that I haven’t tried are metal and rubber. Aside from occasionally looking at a spatula and going, “Hmmm...” I’d never even really considered them. But not too long ago, I discovered JT’s Stockroom. Wow, has that place got some great toys.

A couple that really caught my eye are this paddle:

And this one this one:

Are those amazing or what? I can only imagine the sounds that the first makes and if that second one can really make tread marks on Kasey's bottom, I'd almost be willing to trade my youngest child for it (actually the kid is available for sale or barter, make an offer :-) ). I wonder if the aluminum one makes a polka dot pattern?

The problem of course is the price. Maybe I'm just cheep, but $108 dollars plus shipping for a paddle, $60 for a bit of recycled tire tread? I know nothing about metal working and I don't really want to get into it, but you know, I could pretty easily make a wooden handle to hold a piece of tire. Hmmm...

Let's hear from some of the others in the crowd (just how many do you need to qualify as a crowd?). What materials do you like or loathe?

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want to be,

New Story

Well, I've been sick the last couple days and haven't been able to concentrate for more than a couple minuts, so things have been kinda slow in blogland for me. Just before I got sick, I had an idea for what to do with a story I had started and had even begun to work on it. Then I got hit by the sickness train and haven't been able to take the ideas out of my head and put them on the screen. Very frustrating.

Well, today, I'm still feeling a little sick, but not as bad, so I was able to get back to work on it. The new story is called "The E&A Group" and it is going to be much longer than "Chrissy gets a spanking and Miss Roundbottom gets a surprise." It's also going to include elements other than sex, though I plan to include plenty of that. It's going to be a bit of a mystery/thriller. I've submitted the first chaper to StoriesOnline and hopefully you'll be able to find it here. It can take a while for it to show up after I post it, but it should be there sometime soon.

If you read it, please let me know what you think - positive or negative. Thanks. Bonus points if you can guess what E & A stand for.

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want to be,

Fortune Cookie Rant

Okay, what's the deal with fortune cookies? When did they stop being fortune cookies and become trite platitude cookies?

I see the following relevant definitions of the word fortune at Dictionary.com:
5. fortunes. things that happen or are to happen to a person in his or her life.
6. fate; lot; destiny: whatever my fortune may be.
-Idiom
12. tell someone's fortune, to profess to inform someone of future events in his or her own life; foretell.

It's about the future and what's going to happen to somebody in the future. It's not about giving silly advice. Here's the one I got today - "At the end of each day, think 'What has this day brought me, and what have I given it?'"

Huh?!?

Where's the fortune?

What ever happened to things like, "You will live a long life and accumulate vast wealth" or "You will meet a stranger who will change your life" or perhaps "You will die with a very big grin and very sore genitalia"?

I think the fortune cookie writers need to get off their high horses and start delivering fortunes again. If I want advice I'll go to Dear Abbey.

Hope everybody is getting as lucky as they want to be,

Online Erotica

So are there any fans of online erotic stories out there?

I've always been easily aroused by erotic stories, often even more so than by visual porn. So, it's not surprising that I've been a fan of things like the Penthouse Forum since I was young. As the Internet became more prevalent, it was even easier to find such stories first in newsgroups, like alt.sex.stories, and later webpages, like Alt Sex Stories Text Repository or StoriesOnline.

For years and years it was always stroke stories. You know, little to no plot or character development and lot's of sex scenes. Pretty much porn movies translated into text. Over the last year or two, though, I've discovered something even more interesting - the world of online erotica. These are real honest to goodness stories with more than vestigial plots and believable characters that you can grow attached to.

There are authors out there who are writing professional quality books with more graphic sex scenes than you'll find in mainstream novels and then just giving them away online. People like Frank Downey, Nick Scipio and Al Steiner are amazing writers who are better than many published writers I've read and they just give their work away. Isn't the internet great?

If you are at all interested in reading and don't mind a bit of sex in your stories than you should give these guys a try. Frank Downey writes mostly sappy romances with happy endings. His characters are so real you'll wish they were alive and friends of yours. Nick Scipio has written a number of things, but is primarily known for his epic Summer Camp series, which is the coming of age story of a young nudist, swinger, and polyamorist growing up in the early eighties. Al Steiner's stuff ranges all over the place from post-apocalypse survival to sci-fi settlement of the solar system to time-travel if you had your life to live over again to kindergarten teacher waiting for Mr. Right stories. There are many others, but these are the best of the ones I've found so far.

So, is anybody else into online erotica? Got any recommendations?

Hope you are all getting as lucky as you want to be,

bbobb the toymaking elf

As I mentioned in my first post, I'm an amateur woodworker and I've started making some of my own toys. It's my theory that there's nothing in this world that can't be perverted if you try hard enough. For evidence supporting this idea see my wife's blog entry Hubby is trying to make me dislike the spanker in which Horton Hears a Who and children's toys are put to perverted uses.

Anyway back to the subject of toys. I thought some of my loyal readers - all two of you (thanks Kasey and Mom [Please note that the reference to my mother was meant in jest and I'm pretty sure she knows nothing about my sex life.]) - would like to see some of the toys.

So I started off with a paddle. I had a nice piece of African Paduak about the right size to make a decent sized paddle. It was 3/4" thick though so I resawed it down into two pieces, one about 3/8" and the other a little less than 3/8". WooHoo! Now I had enough for one big paddle and two ruler paddles like this one. The big paddle was the first toy I completed.

Next I made a spreader bar. Kasey has a bad habit of not always keeping the proper position with her legs adequately spread, so I decided she needed a little help. The first one was a little over two feet and it wasn't quite long enough, so I made a second one that's right around three feet wide and that one works pretty well. These were made from purpleheart and could really use a few coats of polyurethane to bring out the beautiful purple color.

Next up were some nipple clamps similar to these. Mine are a little beefier on one side and use hanger bolts so that the bolts only show on the side where you attach the wingnuts. They were made out of some lovely figured cherry and unfortunately my nipple model is unavailable, so I can't share a picture of them today. Once she is available again, I'll get a picture and post it.

After all of those toys, I finally got around to making that ruler paddle that Kasey originally asked about. It was also from the orange paduak that the big paddle was from.

Recently, I've also started learning leather working so I could make even more toys. My first, and only so far, completed leather project is a locking cuff. This the first of a set of wrist, ankle, thigh, waist and neck cuffs. Personally, I think black leather is bit clichéd, so I'm working with tan leather. Fortunately, my hand model was available.

Well that's what I've made so far. I'll be finishing up the set of cuffs next and then moving onto a bit gag and a couple of leather slappers - one with a braided handle so a whole new skill for me to learn.

Hope you're all getting as lucky as you want to be,

My prejudice

So the other day in a discussion with my DW I realized that I may have a pretty deeply rooted prejudice that is possibly (probably?) untrue. I've gotten to wondering if this is something that just I have or if it is common among bisexual people. Let me also mention that I don't mean prejudice in the pejorative sense of a negative attitude; I mean it in the sense of a preconceived idea without necessarily being a positive or negative opinion.

The prejudice I'm talking about is that everybody is at least a little bit bi. There are no true 0's or 6's on the Kinsey scale. Maybe they aren't consciously aware of it or maybe they want to deny it, but everybody is at least a little bit bi - say at least a 0.5 or 5.5 on the scale.

What do you think, both about whether or not my prejudice is false and about whether it's just me or is this a common opinion among bi folks.

Hope everybody is getting as lucky as they want to,

A little bit of fiction

In addition to writing stuff that is more or less true here, I've started writing some stories as well. I've posted the first one, "Chrissy gets spanked and Miss Roundbottom gets a surprise" at Stories Online. You can find it here. If you read it, let me know what you think, positive or negative.

Found the ON switch

As I mentioned in an previous post, spanking wasn't originally one of my kinks. My inclination is usually more towards the gentle approach. Plus I have real issues with nonconsensual activities. Even if I know the activity is consensual, if it has the appearance of nonconsensual I find it somewhat difficult to do. But ultimately I aim to please and I am adaptable, so I'm willing to try just about anything if my partner asks for it.

With my DW, this adaptation has taken time and trial and error, but I think I'm getting closer to giving her what she wants. She definitely enjoys receiving spankings, but part of the thrill for her is that she gets them against her will. If she had to ask for a spanking it just wouldn't give her the same thrill. Which has made it hard for me to give her what she really wants. If I bring up the possibility of spanking her and she argues against getting one my first inclination is to go along with not spanking her, which isn't what she really wants, but she can't ask for what she really wants, because then it isn't what she really wants. It all gets a little confusing sometimes.

Anyway, I've been getting better about being more assertive about giving her spankings, but my more gentle approach still shows itself in how hard I spank her. I generally spank her hard enough to get a good sound and raise a little color, but I don't use anywhere near the full force I'm capable of.

Until the other night. She complained about one smack and I said, "Oh come on, that wasn't very hard."

To which she replied, "If that is not hard, then what is?"

Up to this point she'd been into the spanking and was getting excited, but she wasn't so excited that she had moisture running down her legs or anything. So I asked her with a bit of menace in my voice, "Are you curious, do you want to know?"

She didn't say anything, but she did squirm a bit. Knowing that she would never actually ask for a spanking, I took her silence for consent and told her, "OK, I'll show you."

Normally, I probably use about 10-20% of the full force I can put into a swing when I smack her bottom. This time I pulled back much farther than normal and swung hard maybe 75% of max.

CRACK

She rocked forward and moaned a little, but didn't break position. "Again," I asked? Getting no response, I again assumed the affirmative.

Another big wind up and ...

CRACK

I paused in the spanking and rubbed a finger through her lips and WOW there was practically a lake down there. Just two hard smacks and instant switch from excited to OHMYGOD TURNED ON!

Well, this was certainly a pleasant surprise. So I gave her ten more good hard ones and got a nice deep red color over most of her bottom as she squirmed and wiggled and fought so hard to maintain position - knowing that a break from position would result in more swats.

After the spanking she turned over and sat on the edge of the bed for a little licking. Her excitement and the constant reminder of the edge of the bed across her bottom resulted in one of the quickest orgasms I've ever seen her have, and judging by the volume of her screaming one of the strongest in a while. And they just kept coming and coming and coming.

Hope you all are getting as lucky as you want to,

Any spankos in the audience?

So are there any spankos in the crowd?

I wasn’t initially much of a spanko, but my DW is, so I gave it a try. I really enjoy it now, but I’m pretty sure that the main attraction is how much she enjoys it.

I get a real rush out of making her come. It brings about a sense of satisfaction at a job well done as well as a sense of power to be able to make her body react that strongly to what I’ve done. This doesn’t just apply to spanking; cunnilingus is definitely one of my favorite pastimes.

Anyway back to spanking. I’m definitely a giver of spankings. I have little to no interest in receiving a spanking, but if it makes her happy to receive one, I’m up to the task. I have gotten into it enough that I find myself paying attention to certain aspects of the spanking, particularly sound and aim. Some sounds are much more pleasing than others and it takes practice to reliably produce the sounds I’m looking for. The same is true of aim. It takes practice to spread the impacts around to get nice even color. Before getting into spanking, I never thought it would be something that required practice. How hard could it be I thought, but I had never considered the nuances.

So, any of you out there like to deliver spankings? If so, what about it appeals to you? And for those of you who enjoy getting a red bottom, what is it that you’re looking for in a good spanking?

Hope you’re all getting as lucky as you want to be,

Here goes nothing

Me writing a blog...

Hmmm...

This is new. What does one say on a blog? Send out the loose women? Nah, not quite what I'm going for.

Hmmm...

Maybe start this first one with a little info about me and decide where to go with this thing in future posts.Well, maybe a little bit of the basics, 39, male, live in the midwest, married, 2 children, 1 cat, 1 fish, sit in front of a computer everyday - some of it I even get paid for. I've actually only lived in the midwest for about 10 years. Prior to that I've lived in a number of states farther East, plus a couple of periods in the SF Bay area. While I have moved around alot in the past, job and family obligations will most likely see me staying here in the midwest for quite a while.

Things I enjoy doing (other than the naughty stuff): reading, photography, woodworking, movies, travel. Music - especially stuff that's a little bit outside the mainstream - They Might Be Giants, Charles Mingus, John Cage, Public Image Limited, Throwing Muses, Gamalon, oh and passionate, angry, or odd female vocalists - early Sinead O'Connor, Alanis Morrisette, Poe, Jill Sobule, Kristina Olsen, Kate Bush, Tracy Chapman.

Things I enjoy doing (the naughty stuff): I'm willing to try just about anything except extreme pain and scat. I definitely enjoy light bondage, spanking and dominance games - all as a top so far. I really enjoy giving and receiving oral and anal. I haven't done much role playing, but I'd be willing to give it a try. Lately I've been combining my woodworking and play interests and have started to make some of my own toys - paddles, nipple clamps, spreader bars. I'm also starting to learn leatherworking to expand the toymaking.

That's probably enough for now, so I hope everybody is getting as lucky as they want to be,
