spahing spoon on lion's butt
This is the chechin spanking spoon. It’s made from very dense Chechen wood. This is one of the meanest paddle we own.

I did remember to spank Lion last night. As a matter of fact, I had to wait for him. He had to install some smart bulbs, write a post, get under the blankets to get warm, and then snooze a bit. It was after 10 before he was ready. I’m not actually sure he was ready, but he got into position. In all fairness, he got a steroid injection in his shoulder and I was happy to let him sleep before the numbing shot wore off. He’s been in a lot of pain and sleep has not been easy.

It was a few rounds into swatting when I asked him why he was being punished. I know he likes me to be more vocal. We both tend to be quiet during sex and play or punishment.

After a bit, he started to bleed a little so I informed him he was getting blood on my paddle. I thought that would add something to the exercise. I don’t know why. Maybe it was to let him know how hard I was hitting or that I was “winning”. No idea. It was probably just something to say.

Normally, aside from being concerned about getting blood on the comforter, he’s happy I made him bleed. Maybe happy isn’t the correct word. But this time he said it wasn’t a good thing to make him bleed. Did I miss a memo? I mean, I don’t go for blood but it hasn’t been a bad thing.

Sometimes I think Lion likes to throw me curve balls. Sometimes he’ll say he never said what I heard. Sometimes he’ll say he’s always said what he said and then later on he’ll say he never said that. I’m left wondering what the heck is going on.

This morning he said the paddle I used last night, a chechen spoon-shape, was less effective than the bloodwood round-headed paddle. He has no sore spots. I guess I’ll have to sort the paddles by long-lasting versus blood-producing. Although, if blood is bad, why would I want to use the latter at all?

I wonder if the key is using two, or more, different paddles. It may be worth a try.

[Lion — I am ambivalent about bleeding from a spanking. It’s not necessarily an indication that the spanking was severe. It has more to do with the fact that there may be thin spots in my skin that break open. I’m a little bit concerned about that. That’s why I mentioned it to Mrs. Lion. The fact that her “camper” paddle was more severe and left me sore for two days and didn’t draw blood suggests that drawing blood as nothing to do with severity. In any case I don’t think I’m harmed when Mrs. Lion makes me bleed.]

I’m hating technology this morning. My daughter’s phone is giving her problems. My iPad is weird. I think both are because of recent updates. You know, they make things “better” but somehow manage to screw things up in the process.

Last night I was thinking I did a lot over the weekend but it really doesn’t look like it. I gained some counter space in the kitchen and on the table, but it’s still a wreck. I installed the bidet seat, but that was never really on the to-do list until I bought it. I put more of Lion’s clothes away but there’s still some in the box. We winterized the camper, just in time for the temperature to drop below freezing so that’s a win. I installed the new medicine chest so the bathroom is a little neater. And I got Lion’s speakers set up for his computer. But not many boxes were emptied.

I also made Lion happy when I shaved around my weenie and the boys. I’m sure he wanted more shaved but I did what was necessary. Well, what was necessary for him.  And I gave him another blow job. He thoroughly enjoyed that.

Around bedtime, I realized I hadn’t done the most important thing: punishment swats for forgetting Saturday was punishment day. It’s been a while since he did that but I wanted him to know how serious it is so I sentenced him to four days of swats. And then I forgot.

What consequences are there when I forget? I guess it’s just like any other person in power. The rules do not apply to me. Do as I say, not as I do. And then I can make a rule that says he has to remind me if I forget. If he forgets, does he get more punishment? We could be in a vicious circle.

It doesn’t make any sense for him to be punished more for forgetting to remind me when I forget. I’ll just have to come up with a way to remember. Sometimes it’s as easy as putting a paddle on the bed. If I’m not ready to swat him, but I remember I need to, doing that will remind me later on and it also alerts him that swats are coming. No one has ever accused me of being subtle.

Lion always says I never tell him what I think about new toys. I usually do. I think he doesn’t listen. This is not the same thing as hearing. He acknowledges I’ve said something, but did he actually listen?

He emailed me about three items he saw on a website. I said I thought we had something similar to two of them. He agreed and ordered the third. That was the prickly jock. The package arrived in a few days and in it was the prickly jock and the cock and ball harness. What the hell?

When he asked me what I thought of them I said the prickly jock looked like it might be good for punishment as well as play. He listened to that. I said the harness looked like something I could accomplish with rope. He heard that.

I don’t like complicated toys. The harness has ambiguous straps that can go over the balls, under the balls, around and around in circles. Putting it on is like solving a puzzle. The good thing about it is, once you’ve figured out which end is up, it stays put better than rope can. But I like rope better. I don’t have to worry about the snaps lining up or does this strap go over or under or around. It goes where I tell it to go.

We tried the jock last night. Those straps are more intuitive. It only goes one way. Once we figure out how tight the straps should be, I assume it will be more effective. I know it hurts because I grabbed it and Lion winced. I’m sure he’ll have to be standing so he can feel the full prickliness. However, it gave me an idea for another prickly product.

Those same spikes would be good for after-spanking shorts. Imagine having a burning red bottom and then having evil prickly points making that burning red bottom even more uncomfortable. Maybe I should quit my job and design evil sex toys. Of course, there are better people for that job so I’ll stick with my chosen profession. Besides, I can always make toys exclusively for Lion.

It has nothing to do with not wanting to wax him, but last night as I was trying to get Lion hard so I could put on a cock and ball harness, I was looking at his hair down there. I have no way of knowing how it looked when there was more of it. He insists less grows in since he was professionally waxed. But I kind of like the way it looks. I know he doesn’t at all.

I don’t remember if it’s more difficult to wax long fur or not, and I would never suggest we not wax him, but I think I like Lion au natural. I like him hairless too. I can go either way so it’s really up to Lion’s preferences. I just think it’s nice to see him furry for once.

I’ve never liked to look at overly hairy guys. You know, the ones who look like they’re wearing sweaters when they’re shirtless. It’s just not for me. And I’ve never really thought about guys without hair, except hearing that swimmers often shave to reduce drag. It seemed weird to me. For whatever reason, it doesn’t seem weird to me that Lion would want to be hairless. It’s just s preference. I guess, given all he’s written on the subject, it seems weird that he wouldn’t want me hairless. I’ve only shaved once, as a surprise for him, and he didn’t like it.

As soon as I can, I’ll get the pantry in order and wax Lion. I’ve even thought about locating the necessary supplies and setting up the table in our bedroom. There’s an open area that’s sort of a hallway/dressing room/closet. I’m sure the waxing table would fit. And it would only be temporary anyway. The problem is, I have so many other things to do, can I justify spending an hour or two waxing him? On the other hand, can I justify not spending an hour or two making him feel better?

Today I installed a bidet seat which was sort of Lion’s birthday present. What kind of a birthday present is that? I know. I thought the same thing until I mentioned it to him. He loved the idea. So now we have a Lion squirter and blow dryer. We have a Lion car wash!

The dog has a spa date this afternoon. We’ll run some errands while she has her dog car wash. I’m not sure how much unpacking I’ll get done today, but I’ll work on finding the waxing supplies tomorrow. Lion may get de-furred by next weekend. Then he’ll be able to swim faster.
