lion's butt after 200 swats
Just 200 swats applied in bursts to a single area. I managed to hold still.

Aside from our punishment experiment, there was little action last night. Lion is back on the medication that makes him snooze at the drop of a hat, but I just decided snuggling was all we needed. I think Lion felt otherwise because he said he was horny. I’d just given him an orgasm the other night. That used to buy me a few days. (I’m kidding. I don’t give Lion orgasms so he’ll leave me alone.)

When I gave Lion the experimental swats, he said he wasn’t sure he could take many. Fair enough. I was prepared for as many or as few as he could take. I did decided to try his suggestion of hitting one cheek at a time. I think the problem is that the paddle I’ve been using is too wide to concentrate only in his sit spot. I seemed to create the same bruising pattern as before. Next time I’ll either use the bloodwood paddle with the rounded head or a weird stick-like paddle I haven’t tried yet.

This is the new long paddle. It’s only 1-3/4 inches wide, 20 inches long and and 3/4 inch thick. The marks on my butt came from this paddle, plus a few from the tenderizer.

I think the stick paddle is too long but I’m willing to give it a go. I’ll have to adjust my swing a bit. I wonder if there’s a way to keep Lion’s crack open while I’m whomping him. I don’t really want him to have to hold it open. It would be awkward and I’m afraid I’ll catch his fingers. I don’t want to hold it open for the same reasons. Is there a kink shop that sells crack openers? It might be worth a look in the old Interwebs.

Today we ran a few errands and we have some chores to do around the house. I think we’ll play our football zapping game during the AFC game tomorrow. Perhaps Lion will get harder hits when the stupid Patriots score than when the Chiefs score. He doesn’t care about the NFC game so much, (Go Rams!) but we both hate the Patriots.

Regardless of chores and any other activities, Lion will definitely be getting some attention tonight. I’m thinking something along the line of tied up balls or clothespins – regular, not tiny, or the dreaded Velcro. I don’t think he’d be interested in a play spanking. He’s had too much attention in that area lately.

I’ve been scouring the office for paperclips. They seem to be like socks in the washer/dryer. Where do they go? I imagine someone has a drawer full of them and she’s laughing at us chasing our tails looking for them.

Speaking of chasing tails, I think Lion is feeling a little better. I also think, like everyone else when they start to feel better, he still needs to take it easy. By the time I got home last night he was fading fast. He snoozed quite a bit in the evening. He needs to get rid of his cough and stay awake so we can play.

I noticed the other night Lion has some fairly long hairs on his balls. His chest hair is also returning. I may have to devote a whole weekend to de-furring him when he’s better. It’s been well over a month since we’ve done any waxing. That means it’s been well over a month since we’ve felt well. Yikes! I guess our New Year’s resolution should be to get well and stay well.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say we’ll be playing by Sunday. We should be able to do something by then. Zapardy! or the football game. Clothespins or the Magic Wand. Lion has to be awake but he doesn’t have to do too much to participate. I’ll do all the heavy lifting. He just has to talk Mr. Weenie into joining the festivities.

We’re both recovering slowly. I’ve been getting holiday ads from various adult suppliers. It’s always difficult to maintain the holiday spirit when one’s butt is in the air. The Stockroom offered just the item for Mrs. Lion Santa to use this year.

While whimsical, this toy is a solid addition to our anal collection. It’s made of borate glass (Pyrex) and is safe for dishwasher, boiling, etc. It’s thick enough to let me know I have a visitor without being so wide it will cause constant pain.

What particularly appeals to me is the irony. There’s a certain humiliation in being “decorated” with a candy cane, even if it is glass, firmly up my ass. Of course, as soon as we’re back in action, Mrs. Lion will take a holiday snapshot of me modeling this latest addition.

Glass toys offer some nice benefits. One is that glass will retain its temperature for a while. So, if you chill your candy cane before inserting, there will be some interesting sensations for the lucky recipient. Don’t put the glass in the freezer.You won’t hurt the candy cane, but you can injure the recipient. Similarly,  if you warm it first, don’t make it too warm. You don’t want to burn delicate tissues.

Of course, use plenty of lube. I’m told that Icy Hot or Ben Gay are nice and slippery and impart a holiday scent as well.  You can wash the toy in the dishwasher when you are done. You can even boil it.

It’s the perfect gift for the boy who needs something.

There’s a little corner of BDSM that is occupied by activities most of us would never consider. Every so often, a blogger will promote one of these activities and I will cringe. No, I’m not disgusted, I’m worried that readers might actually try them. In this case the blogger claims to be a “femdom”. He/she writes about activities with “her” husband. This is nothing particularly unique. The Web is full of this stuff. A lot of guys have masturbatory fun reading these accounts.

In this case, the blogger writes about her husband consuming her urine. She calls it “nectar”. Pee drinking isn’t new. It’s a practice that some people of both sexes find very hot. Like many BDSM activities, there are risks involved in this activity. These risks can be minimized if you understand them.

There are two basic urine-based activities: peeing on someone and consuming urine. The first, peeing on someone, actually has value in the vanilla world. Urine is nearly sterile. It also has some useful properties. One is that it can ease the misery of jellyfish stings. Peeing on someone who is freshly stung will reduce the agony. It’s also been used in situations where there is no source of clean water. Urine can be used to clean a wound in that case.

Recreational spraying of your partner is the BDSM version of this. There are a few considerations before giving a golden shower. The first is to be sure the recipient has eye protection. Urine in the eyes is unpleasant and not very safe. Either confine the shower below the neck or provide goggles. Assure your urine is safe; more on that in a bit.

There’s no special technique to this. Males have lots of practice aiming their stream and can provide good coverage. Females generally scooch over their victims and let go. Of course, it’s very important to wash off afterward. Urine decomposes quickly into noxious-smelling stuff. Ammonia is one component. That’s not very good for you. A post-golden-shower shower will wash that risk away.

Drinking pee, on the other hand, isn’t simple at all. There are important considerations to guard the health of the consumer. Let’s run down the list:

  • Medications Many drugs are excreted via the kidneys. That means urine will contain the drug that’s been filtered. If you’ve taken penicillin, you’ve smelled it when you pee. It is dangerous-to-potentially-deadly to consume urine provided by someone taking meds.
  • Diseases UTI’s (urinary tract infections) and STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases) can be spread via urine. This includes yeast infections. Got a UTI? No nectar from you!
  • Quantity The so-called femdom blogger writes about making her husband consume all her pee, particularly when she is under the weather. Consider what that does to him. Any liquids you consume are eventually filtered by your kidneys. Pee, yours or someone else’s, is the waste that person’s kidneys filtered out. By consuming it,  you are making you kidneys work much harder to remove that extra toxin. That suggests you should limit your pee consumption. Each bladder voiding is generally between 8 and 16 ounces of pee. Consuming 4 ounces or so, limits the load on your kidneys and sends you the submissive message you want. Right?
  • Don’t recycle If you consume urine, let your pee go where it belongs; down the toilet. Consuming your pee after drinking pee, further concentrates the toxins you are forcing your kidneys to process. It’s really dangerous to do this.

If you are wondering how I know so much about this, it’s because I was safety director of a very large BDSM organization and over the years have taught play safety. Pee play is one of the subjects that gets little attention outside the uninformed fantasy writing of people it turns on. I haven’t given workshops in a long time and I see very little accurate safety information on the Web. This is my attempt to help make your kinky fun safer.
