Practice Makes Perfect

Mrs. Lion’s back is still giving her trouble. We’ve had to call an audible on play or sex. That’s not a problem for me. It’s only been five days since my last ejaculation. Sure, I’m horny. So What! Mrs. Lion’s health and comfort has to come first. I am perfectly happy to wait until she feels better.

By the way, Kelly Lyon has a new website. Take a look, it’s pretty. Kelly also has a presence on Facebook and Twitter. Of course, there is an Amazon author page too. If you want to review Fan Mail, Just drop me an email in Contact Us and I’ll send you a free Kindle edition. Also, if you want to be a beta reader of the next book Hacked!, let me know and you’ll get a free pre-publication copy. All I want in return are your comments and suggestions. Free summer reading! It means a lot to me if you will take the time to do this; even better if you buy the book! Enough from the shameless, self-promotion department.

It may hurt, but it is an expression of Mrs. Lion’s love.

This seems to be one of those times when my sex drive is working properly again. Ironic, huh? Still, it doesn’t matter. My lioness needs to feel better before I’ll feel good about receiving her attention. I know she wants to give me a just-because spanking. It’s been two weeks since I’ve seen the business end of her paddle. As she wrote in her post yesterday,

“I’ll have to do a just because spanking soon. I can’t let him forget what it feels like to be punished. And I can’t let myself forget how to do it well. Practice makes perfect.”

It seems that we both feel the need to refresh our disciplinary activities. We both resisted the concept of maintenance spankings, but we’ve learned that there is real wisdom behind that concept. I need it because the memory of how much I hate a spanking fades after a couple of weeks. What’s left is the sexually arousing spanking fantasies. When that starts, I need to be reminded how unhappy I get when Mrs. Lion spanks me. The idea turns me on right now. I know that means I’m due.

It’s possible that Mrs. Lion benefits more than me. Being a disciplinary wife is difficult. It took a lot of years for Mrs. Lion to get where she is now. There is nothing intuitive about her role. Delivering an adult spanking that makes a strong impression takes practice. It’s more than an exercise in using paddles on a bare bottom. It takes emotional resolve. The goal of a disciplinary spanking is to deliver as much pain as possible for ten or more minutes. It’s to leave me sufficiently bruised so that I feel the fruits of her efforts every time I sit for days afterward.

That’s not easy to do. Mrs. Lion has worked hard to deliver that sort of spanking. She’s well on her way. As she said in that post,

” Practice makes perfect. If that’s true, I bet Lion doesn’t want me to be perfect. I need too much practice”

It’s true that each time she “practices” I suffer. That’s the idea. Since I asked her to be my disciplinary wife, that’s the price I have to pay for the privilege. Actually, as we’ve discovered, I need her to practice frequently too. The obvious question is, what is the maximum time between spankings? Assuming I don’t do anything to earn one, it seems that two weeks seems to be the longest for me. I think Mrs. Lion may need to deliver a spanking more frequently than that. If my memory serves, we were happiest and most productive when I received at least one a week.

Those were times when I was spilling on my shirt and eating first fairly often. I was being punished frequently. The more often I earned punishment, the more observant Mrs. Lion became. her demeanor also changed. She was very definite when it was time for me to be spanked. It isn’t that she isn’t now, just that when she was very active she brought out the paddle and told me to get into position with no thought of getting my reaction. Nowadays, she seems ready for me to tell her that I don’t want a spanking just then. She’s willing to postpone my punishment.  When I was frequently offending, she wasn’t interested in whether or not I was ready to be paddled. She was ready and that’s all that mattered.

I didn’t like it at the time, but I like it in principle. She’s in charge and if she wants to spank me for any reason, it’s my job to present my bare bottom. Period. That’s the way it has to be. Since I get spanked more infrequently, I appear to bleed more. The bleeding isn’t due to injury. I think it is just that my skin sometimes cracks a bit. I think a small band-aid will stop me from making a mess. Other guys have mentioned that they also bleed. Some say that over time that stops. That’s another reason for more practice, I guess. As Mrs. Lion says, practice makes perfect.
