bruised lion butt
This was the most severe marking I’ve gotten from Mrs. Lion. She had to work very hard to mark me. I hope her stocking stuffers will make things easier for her.

It’s been a Lion’s age since I went BDSM toy shopping. When Mrs. Lion and I began playing our NFL game and she commented on the light weight of the tenderizer, I decided to see if it came in a heavier wood. It does. While exploring the other wares sold by Sporkwood, I saw some other intriguing offerings.

I ordered the heavier tenderizer. Mrs. Lion was impressed with both its utility and its beauty. I was very happy with the quality. The maker clearly knows woodworking and spanking. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen work this good.  For the record, I’m new to the idea of buying things intended to hurt me. In the past I shopped for tools I could use to hurt others.

Imagining some of the paddles pictured being used on me turned me on the same way imagining being spanked does. I’m smart enough to know that once those hot-looking paddles make contact with my butt, I won’t be so excited. Still, it’s hot to imagine how each would feel.

I had some ideas about what might help Mrs. Lion be a more effective spanker. She has been enjoying using our heavy wooden spoon to beat me. It stings like hell and Mrs. Lion has developed a fast-hitting style that makes me yowl. When I saw that Sporkwood sells a spoon-shaped paddle, I had to get it. You’ve read about it in an earlier post. It’s still untested. Mrs. Lion likes the look and feel, but hasn’t applied it to me. She likes how the wood feels soft. It won’t to my hind end. Maybe I’ll find out how bad soon.

In my window shopping, I came across a small, heavy paddle that looks perfect for close-up work. It’s three inches wide and twelve long. Made of 3/4-inch Chechen wood, it’s heavy and will give a solid wallop. The small holes are supposed to prevent an air cushion from forming between my butt and the paddle. That’s just not an issue, but the holes may make some nice marks if Mrs. Lion hits hard enough.

After I ordered the Spensor paddle, I noticed a couple of others that looking “interesting”. This first may answer a challenge Mrs. Lion faces when spanking me: she’s found it nearly impossible to mark my butt. After she’s worked hard for a long, super-painful spanking, the pink fades in less than an hour. I have no lasting souvenirs.

This monster is only 1-1/2″ wide and 20″ long. Bruising should be easy with this toy.

Sporkwood makes what they call a focused discipline paddle. This one is incredibly mean. It’s only 1-1/2 inches wide and 3/4-inch thick. In chechen. this baby should easily bruise me if Mrs. Lion gives it a good, hard swing. The paddle is twenty inches long. It would be difficult to not leave a mark with this baby. Even though I got excited shopping for it, I know beyond any doubt that each and every swat will make me howl. The sample pictured isn’t in chechen. It was easy to request it in the heavier wood.

heart cutout paddle
This paddle will bruise and probably cut me with each swat. It measures 3-3/4 x 5 on the business end. The large hearts are cut out with sharp edges (no bevel). It will leave lots of loving, red marks.

I also ran across a model that is absolutely sure to make me sorry I bought it. Those two hearts are cut straight through with no bevels. Each swat will leave marks and a little blood. Like the other paddles, I ordered this one in heavy chechen wood. A good, hard swat will leave heart-shaped messages of Mrs. Lion’s love. Isn’t that romantic?

There’s something special to me about marks and lasting pain when sitting down. To me, it is a nice reminder of the beating. When I’ve been beaten for breaking a rule, that pain makes me think about what I did to deserve it.

There’s another benefit to lasting marks: If Mrs. Lion decides to deliver multi-day punishment spankings, each successive day begins with her canvas softened and ready to feel every swat. From my perspective, a spanking is much more serious when it is administered to my already-sore bottom. Any remnants of erotic pleasure is going to be long gone by the first swat on day two.

butt buster paddle
This toy has a 12-inch delrin rod with a 2-inch industrial neopreme ball on the end. This will leave a mark every swat.

Mrs. Lion wonders if these three paddles will end my spree. Gee, Christmas is around the corner. There are so many other interesting possibilities. Actually, only one other thing looks like a good possibility. Mark, in a comment, wrote about a heavy piece of wire (around an inch thick I imagine) that his wife uses to mark him. Mrs. Lion commented favorably about this implement.

I don’t think I will be able to get a couple of feet of 5/0 wire, but Sporkwood offers something that looks even meaner. This is the Big Black Butt Buster. It’s a heavy 2-inch industrial rubber ball on the end of a 12-inch delrin rod. It has a nice padded handle for Mrs. Lion’s comfort.  This toy will leave a bruise on every swat. If she wants me to get it (no, I didn’t order it), I will feel my spanking for days. If I were doing the spanking, I would put two or three nice bruises on each side of the crack at the sit spot. That would hurt for days.

I’m done shopping for a while. I think it would be interesting if Mrs. Lion wants the Black Butt Buster. It would make a nice stocking-stuffer. I’ll order it if she wants it.

Recently, Mrs. Lion has been using a heavy, wooden spoon to spank me. She said that the reason she uses it is because all the other paddles are in the basement dungeon. We moved our toys there when we had a weekend visit from a vanilla friend. Mrs. Lion told me that she liked using the spoon. She’s decided that spankings are most effective when she concentrates on a small area of each cheek. The spoon is a perfect size for that.

We recently purchased a new, larger and heavier Tenderizer paddle from Sporkwood (left). This craftsman makes the best paddles I have ever seen. The prices are great too. Click the link to see the specific paddle we ordered. Mrs. Lion is very fond of her new tenderizer. I thought it would be fun to get her a spanking spoon from the same craftsman. This spoon-shaped paddle is made from the same heavy chechen wood as our tenderizer.

People use a wide variety of implements for spanking. Many improvise with everything from hair brushes to barbecue tools. Some guys want to be beaten with specific items that they fixated on  I certainly understand that. I wasn’t spanked as a child, so I have ho history to establish a fetish for a specific tool.

I think that using tools specifically designed for spanking is safer and provide better results. Let me qualify that a bit. Most spanking tools on the market, particularly those sold in “adult” stores or online versions of them, like Adam and Eve, stock low-quality, poorly-made toys. However, there are a few people who make and sell great spanking tools.

Hanson paddles made the best spanking devices for many years. John Hanson retired and sold his business to Leatherwerks. They still offer most of his original designs. We have some of his originals. Hanson’s ferule was Mrs. Lion’s meanest paddle until now. The ferule has a 3-inch diameter spanking face. It’s 3/8-inch thick.

As you can see from our size comparison photos, the new spanking spoon has a similarly-sized business end. It also has a long handle. Both are made from dense, hardwoods. The critical difference is that the spanking spoon is made of thicker wood.  This gives it added force.

Einstein’s theory of spanking
Remember Einstein’s most famous formula E=MC2? This is actually a version of Newton’s law: Force = mass * acceleration. This formula explains why some implements spank better than others. According to this formula, the force of the paddle hitting my butt is governed by two things: how much power Mrs. Lion puts into the swat and how much mass the paddle has. Essentially, a light paddle (lower mass) will have less force than one that is heavier. Acceleration is the the speed of the paddle face when it makes contact. If you’ve been on a merry-go-round, you know that the horses toward the edge move faster than then ones toward the middle. The same is true of a paddle. A long handle makes the face travel faster than a shorter one.

There’s one more factor: impact area. The force generated by the mass and acceleration is distributed across the hitting face. The larger the face, the lower the force per square inch. See where this is going? A small face on a long handle will hurt more given the same power in the swat. Similarly, a heavier paddle of the same size and shape will deliver more force than a lighter one.

If we have a heavy, long-handled, small-face paddle, we have a very effective spanking tool. The spanking spoon qualifies. Mrs. Lion has learned that if she uses this paddle on a small area of my bottom, instead of spreading her efforts around, she will get the biggest bang for her swat.

Mrs. Lion’s go-to punishment for me is spanking. These spankings are no-nonsense assaults on my bare bottom. She wants me to feel her displeasure. Mrs. Lion has no interest in providing me with an erotic fantasy experience. She wants me to have a long, painful opportunity to reflect on my sin. She can do this with many of our paddles. However, she’s observed that using a small-faced paddle, like the wooden spoon, gives her the results she likes.

For my part, I want to escape the onslaught. So far, I haven’t been able to hold still long enough to let her finish without interruption. She doesn’t want to tie me down. I’m not clear why, but she told me she wants me to learn to hold still. Obviously, I need more practice.

red bottom
The red badge of punishment. The red doesn’t last more than a couple of hours at best. Daily spankings for three days will extend the red another way.

Another aspect of spanking is how long the pain remains. Every bottom is different. In my case, the effects tend to dissipate quickly. Very rarely have I felt the fruits of Mrs. Lion’s labors the next day. However, if she uses a heavier paddle like the spanking spoon, she may be able to give me some well-placed bruises. I will feel them for at least a day.  It turns out that the pointy side of the tenderizer will produce tiny bruises where each point hits me. If she swings hard enough, she will draw a little blood.  A tenderizing treatment at the end of a spanking will probably make it painful for me to sit the next day.

Apparently, other spankers experience the frustration of their men having no lasting effects from punishment.  I understand why they feel this way. It isn’t so much that they want to be cruel. It’s more that it takes time for a disciplined male to fully understand the seriousness of his sins. Some women achieve this benefit by making a punishment more than a single spanking. One, repeats the spanking every day for three days. She says that is long enough to make the impression he needs.

Mrs. Lion and I haven’t discussed this concept. I’m not fond of it at all. But I understand the point. It would be much harder to “forget” a punishment if I have to look forward to it every day for a series of days. It also could provide a way for Mrs. Lion to make a punishment more severe for different offenses. For example, spilling food could earn one spanking. Interrupting could earn me three, etc. I think this is a good idea because it means that the severity of a single spanking is the same regardless of offense. This will help me learn to hold still and  Mrs. Lion to build the intensity of my corrections.

I know, here I go again with more ideas. I read about this one and I have to admit it makes sense. Of course, it’s all up to Mrs. Lion.

 

 

Day three in the captivity of my CPAP showed no real improvement. Lion says I haven’t snored since I started using it. It’s no wonder since it blows air up my nose. I know it will take some time to get used to, but so far I’m just as tired as I was without it. I was looking forward to an a-ha moment after which I’d be ready for anything. Oh well.

I thought I’d take last night off from play because I was tired. Lion even took a short nap. He wondered if a CPAP would help him sleep. It might. I’m usually more tolerant of being uncomfortable though. Anyway, we only snuggled last night. I don’t know if Lion was really in the mood or if he just wanted to be close. Either way, it worked out for both of us. Tonight I’ll make sure he gets his plastic clothespins, which is what he selected from the Box O’Fun the other night. I know he’s been looking forward to it. (Not so much.)

Lion says he’s getting furry again. I’ve noticed some stubble. He thinks it’s time for another waxing session. I’m wondering of the hair is long enough for the wax to grab. He says it is. I say we’ll see how we both feel this weekend. We may need to catch up on sleep. We also may have to catch up on some chores. Clearly there isn’t an issue if we put off waxing for another week. The hair won’t be too long for waxing at any point.

The main thing I need to guard against for all activities – BDSM, punishment and waxing – is complacency. Yes, we may need to catch up on sleep, but not to the detriment of our relationship. There’s a fine line between being too tired to play and being too lazy to play. I do tend to get a bit lax when it comes to playing. I’ve forgotten to punish Lion because I don’t make it a priority in my mind. Left to me, we’d never do waxing anymore. It’s not because I want Lion to be hairy. It’s just that I can think of a bunch of other things I’d rather expend my energy on. Or, more correctly, not expend my energy on.

I’m determined to make this stupid CPAP work for me, but I’m more determined to make our relationship continue to work. If I get less sleep with the machine then out it goes. But I’m not there yet.

I think our inaugural football game went well. There were nine penalties called and 43 points scored. Every time the Giants scored a field goal, Lion would say he wished he was getting seven swats instead of three. The only good thing is that the other team was just as pathetic at protecting their quarterback.

I started out with the shock collar set at two. I’ve never been zapped by it but it made Lion almost airborne when I zapped him. After a few zaps I turned it down to one. He helpfully told me that the longer I held the button down, the longer the zap lasted. When will he learn not to help? I tried to vary the length of time I zapped him but the last three or four were quick zaps.

I also tried to vary the strength of the swats. Lion pointed out that I gave lighter swats when the Giants scored than when the Falcons scored. I must have done this without thinking about it. I guess it makes sense because I would have been more annoyed when the other team scored. It’s funny it worked out that way.

When the game was over I reminded Lion that he’d spilled food on his shirt at lunch. He wasn’t excused from that. He told me to check the short to see if I could find a stain. That was our old rule. If he could get rid of the stain by the time we got home then he wouldn’t be punished. I even enabled him by carrying a stain remover. Some months ago we agreed that it was the act of getting the stain itself that deserved punishment, regardless of whether it was visible later. Of course, if it’s water or even a light broth that disappears by itself then there will be no punishment. Lion grudgingly conceded that the rule had changed. His butt was in trouble.

It was late when we finally snuggled and I attempted to arouse the sleeping weenie. Well, it wasn’t really sleeping. The game had piqued his interest. Being whomped and zapped was exciting. I decided to give him some oral attention. I got him close to the edge but it didn’t seem like I could get him over the top. Lion says it feels like he’s hitting a wall. He’s convinced he’s broken. I say he’s just got a lot on his mind with his vision troubles. Plus he’s been itchy again. It’s not a good combination for sex.

I’m not giving up on him. Not now. Not ever. I’m fairly stubborn. If I want my weenie to give me an orgasm then, dammit, my weenie will give me an orgasm. Eventually.
