Today is Thanksgiving in the US. It’s also punishment day in the lions den. We didn’t plan it this way. Every Thursday is a designated punishment day. Thanksgiving always falls on a Thursday. For us, at least, it’s Spanksgiving. This one is a little special. I’ve been under the weather for a while. I haven’t been spanked in two weeks. Mrs. Lion agreed to spank me three times a week on punishment days. We’ve fallen behind because of my intestinal bug.

Today is also special because our NFL team, the NY Giants, is playing. It’s going to be a busy day. Chances are good that I won’t be too comfortable sitting down to eat my turkey. Mrs. Lion hasn’t confirmed it yet, but I figure that we will be playing or football spanking game as well. Since the Giants lost last weekend, each point, turnover, or sack costs me 6 swats. Each sack (of the Giants) adds another swat per point/sack. [Mrs. Lion — There he goes again. It’s only six swats per point. I’m not adding a point each time our idiot quarterback gets himself sacked. Three swats per point as normal plus a swat for each loss. Six swats per point. Period.] If you add a minimum five-minute spanking to this, I will have a very sore bottom by bedtime. I’m not complaining. This is fair and expected.

There hasn’t been much sex lately. Mrs. Lion has a little stomach trouble. I hope it isn’t the same thing that I had. When she feels better, I’m hoping for some massage table or oral action. She has four days off for the holiday.

I wrote about my experiences with sex toys (“Sexual Success Stories“). One of my biggest disappointments was the Autoblow. This sex machine is touted as the closest thing to oral sex a machine can produce. I bought (at the time) the newest model. It claimed to use artificial intelligence to simulate a real-life blow job realistically. Nope. It couldn’t even keep me erect. I got an email about a new model that claims to be even better. It includes the ability to adjust the “grip” on the penis. The adjustment is made with a screwdriver. I think this adjustment might help, but still at $200 on sale, it’s a lot to spend on something.

I’m very thankful for my wonderful wife and the good fortune that lets us have so much fun. Happy Thanksgiving from both of us!

Things are back to normal. Mrs. Lion didn’t spank me on Monday. I was still under the weather. I feel much better. We are both waiting for the other shoe to drop. I got sick again three days after my last bout. Will I get sick again on Thanksgiving? We are both worried. I’ve resumed penis pumping. It’s an odd experience. I can see my penis growing longer and harder inside the clear tube. It doesn’t feel like I have an erection. If I couldn’t see what was happening inside the tube, I would think that something was pulling on my flaccid penis. Pumping isn’t a sexual experience for me. Mrs. Lion reports that my last sexual session produced a very erect penis. That could be caused by an urgent need to ejaculate or because the penis pump is doing its job. I wasn’t all that horny when Mrs. Lion decided to jerk me off. I’m convinced that the pumping is working.

This is only the second time that sexual hardware kept its promise to me. I’ve tested sex toys for over twenty years. During that time, there has been very little innovation in the area of male masturbators. They fall into a few categories. Most try to use vibration to get a man off. Most of us can be brought to orgasm with a strong vibrator applied to the right part of the penis. The premiere vibrator is the Magic Wand. Mrs. Lion can get me off with it.

The only other technique is to simulate sexual motion that strokes the penis the same way intercourse or oral sex works. The earliest of these devices is the Venus 2000. It was the first sex simulator that I tried. It consisted of a large case containing a vacuum pump and various controls. It worked by placing a plastic tube containing a latex sheath over the penis. The device created a realistic motion. The tube moved up and down over the penis. It took me a lot of work to make it get me off. When it did, the feeling was spectacular. The problem was the amount of time and effort to get that sensation. It cost $900. The Venus is still available for about the same price. Newer motion devices like the AutoBlow are more compact but don’t work for me.

I tried early male chastity devices. They were uncomfortable and there wasn’t any clear idea of why a man should wear one. Most of the reports from guys into this kink were about locking themselves up and then trying to escape. It was a sort of puzzle fueled by the need to masturbate. That didn’t appeal to me. Over a decade later, I chanced across some male chastity device listings on Amazon. My curiosity was fueled, and since the advertised devices were inexpensive, I decided to check them out.

I admit it. The idea of wearing a chastity device turned me on. I had no idea why, but it did. So, I bought a couple of devices and tried them. They weren’t very comfortable, but they were fun to wear. At that time, our sex life wasn’t very good. Mrs. Lion wasn’t happy about initiating sex and I wasn’t able to do it. As a result, she only got me off about once a month. I jerked off two or three times a week.

One day, an idea struck me. I figured that if Mrs. Lion would agree to be my keyholder, we could take the initiation problem away. She would keep me locked full time. Every day or two, she would unlock me and tease me. When she wanted, she could get me off any way she desired. When I asked her to do this, she agreed. I also told her that I had been jerking off. I assumed she knew that I must have been doing it. She was surprised and unhappy when I told her.

Right then and there, without any discussion of a power exchange, Mrs. Lion told me that I wasn’t ever allowed to masturbate. At the time, I didn’t think I agreed to let her make rules like that, but I kept quiet. She then locked me in a male chastity device. At the time, I don’t think she considered the chastity device as a way to train me not to masturbate. I think she expected me to keep my hands off just because she told me.

After a while, she understood that my kinky desire to be locked in a male chastity device also helped me obey her rule. Male chastity turned out to have real value in our marriage. I think that I probably would have cheated and jerked off if I weren’t locked up. I didn’t have a chance to find out. I was in a chastity device for over three years. By the time I was allowed to run wild, I lost my interest in masturbating. I think that is an amazing sex device success story.

In retrospect, I’m not particularly happy that I’ve been trained not to masturbate. It was fun and relieved sexual stress. Now, I’m totally dependent on my lioness for relief. She believes that is the natural order of things. I don’t know about that but it is part of the secret sauce that makes our marriage so successful. She wants to be the sole source of my sexual pleasure. She is.

I have been going through mind-numbing training videos for a day and a half. My new boss has me reading some processes. So far, it looks like someone threw a bunch of letters at a Word document. There are lots of acronyms and abbreviations. This, of course, is all part of the what-did-I-get-myself-into phase of a new job. In a few months (I hope it’s that short) I’ll be more comfortable with the gobbledygook.

Lion wasn’t feeling well yesterday so I didn’t spank him. I don’t really think he’s all better yet. He’s under the covers watching TV right now. He set up the coffee pot already, so there’s no risk of being punished for that. I’m more concerned that he’ll keep getting sick. If he does, we’ll need to get to the bottom of it.

Tonight is scheduled as sex night. I’ve been having heartburn since lunch, and I’m not convinced Lion is 100% yet. We may wind up snuggling again. That’s fine by me. I love snuggling with him. I can do a drive by to see if Mr. Weenie reacts. If he does, I can pump up the tires again. I don’t know about riding the bike. Tomorrow is also a sex night. I don’t think there’s any rush to do more tonight.

I took the turkey out of the freezer today. We both love turkey dinners. I’m worried about Lion feeling well enough to enjoy it. I’d much rather put it off for a day or two if he won’t. Of course, we can also back off on the amount of food we make so neither of us is tempted to overeat. I’ll be happy if he can eat it at all.

I am feeling better. This was the second bout of intestinal problems in as many weeks. My doctor says it’s probably a virus that clears in 24 hours. Yup, it did both times. This latest episode was much worse. As of now, I’m a little tired but back in action. Mrs. Lion has started her new job and is suffering from the usual confusion associated with getting oriented. My last job was with an entertainment giant who did a seamless onboarding. It was the best I ever experienced.

Perhaps I’ll go back to bed and watch some TV. Things aren’t quite right yet though I think I am well enough to resume our spanking schedule. I want to keep working. My new book is underway. I’m not sure exactly where it’s going, but it’s going. I realize that this isn’t my normal type of post. Sorry, not quite as well as I thought I was.
