We didn’t make it to see “Bohemian Rhapsody” yesterday. It seems like every other week when we lift the garbage cans into the back of my truck, I manage to get a muscle strain. Some weeks ago it was my neck. Two weeks ago was a mild back strain. This week it was my knee. It’s clear the garbage is trying to kill us. Yesterday it hurt to bend my knee; it hurt not to bend my knee; it just hurt. There was no way I could sit still long enough for a movie. I figure it will feel better by Tuesday night and, for whatever reason, the tickets are cheaper then too.

Since my knee was bothering me, I wasn’t really able to put my back into the football swats. I’m not really sure I would have hit him any harder for the point swats. Sacks and fumbles with the tenderizer side could have been harder though. It took a while to get the zapper dialed in to the correct strength. It all depends on how the contacts are hitting. I think I have to do some work with the Velcro strap to make it fit better. However, we do have a new shock collar coming so maybe I can just adjust both at the same time.

It’s true that I zapped Lion less and less as the game went on. For a while, it seemed like every play had a penalty. One penalty against the Seahawks shouldn’t have been a penalty so I just hit the vibrate button. I couldn’t see zapping him for a blown call.

I used the new tenderizer paddle to swat him for the points. The first time I got up and hobbled around the bed to swat him. After that he suggested I try without moving from the bed. I think the first few scores weren’t a big deal for Lion. The angle was odd but the longer handle on the new paddle helped. He said it felt thuddier. I guess that’s a good thing. I’ve never been able to figure out what implement will provide a sting or a thud.

Next week I’ll try the paddle again when I’m able to walk more easily. I’m sure I’ll be able to deliver stronger tenderizer swats for sacks and fumbles when I’m standing.

Last night we played our football spanking game again. This time it was the Seahawks game. Mrs. Lion had a very sore knee. She’s not sure why but it was really hurting her. I volunteered to suspend our play, but she bravely decided that our game must go on. What a trooper!

She used her new tenderizer paddle. It is bigger and heavier than the old one. She also administered my swats while she was on her side on the bed. That way she didn’t have to hurt her knee. Initially, the paddle felt less painful than the smaller, lighter tenderizer. I mentioned that. She said she was just getting the feel of it. As the game went on, she clearly got the feel. It doesn’t sting as much as the lighter one. But it does pack a wallop. By the second half, seven swats were very painful.

Whenever the Seahawks were sacked, I got a single swat from the tenderizer side. It didn’t feel any different than the smooth side. That’s probably because Mrs. Lion was using it gently. I’m sure that will change over time. Also, all I got was a single swat for each sack. She may need to add more for me to get an incentive to hope our quarterback isn’t sacked.

She was very gentle with the shocks. I barely felt them. They were enough for me to jump a bit, but not enough to worry me. Last week I dreaded yellow flags. I’m getting a long distance shock collar. It’s supposed to have a range of up to 2,000 feet. Our current one barely makes 15 (It’s bluetooth connected to Mrs. Lion’s phone). The new one has its own remote control. She likes to use a shock collar when we are out and about shopping. It’s a good way for her to call me if I wander.

The Box O’Fun and our football spanking game is renewing our playful side. I’m glad. As I thought, the broken (ruined) orgasm last week left me horny and wanting more. I didn’t hate it. Actually, given a choice between edging and a broken orgasm, I’ll take the broken orgasm. It’s more fun, but not too much fun if you know what I mean.

I’m still due a clothespin session. That was the last card I picked from the Box O’Fun. Under our current rules, I pick one and then Mrs. Lion does what the card says the next day or later. It gives me time to think about what’s coming.

It sounds odd, but the additional BDSM activity, particularly spanking, seems to bring us closer and improve communication. Punishments also have that effect on us. I think the reason is that both sorts of activity forces us to pay more attention to one another. At least, that’s my theory.

Not only do we have a football game to watch, but we’re also going to see “Bohemian Rhapsody”. I’ve been looking forward to this movie for months. When I told Lion I wanted to see it he said something derogatory about it. Now he swears he never said anything. I don’t care. I’m seeing the movie. The only problem I have is that we’re seeing it in Imax. I really dislike movie theaters. Lion insists on sitting in the middle of the row and I feel trapped. The theater I like serves food and there are small tables with openings so I can get out if I need to. Do I need to that often? No, but I like knowing escape is possible. I’ll put on my big girl panties. Freddie is worth it.

We didn’t play last night. Lion was snoozing. I’ve been battling a cough and sinus thing. Then we were both battling some stomach issue. It was not a good night for fun. Lion slept till 10 am. He was up a lot and every little bit of sleep helps.

I think Lion’s clothespins will wait until tomorrow night. We have the football fun tonight. Zaps for penalties, swats with the smooth side of the paddle for both team’s points and swats with the tenderizer side of the paddle when our quarterback is sacked or when he throws an avoidable interception. I’ll use the new paddle to see if I like it. I really don’t remember saying I wanted a new football paddle. I do remember wondering if there was a heavier tenderizer paddle.

I have flashbacks of my grandmother when Lion buys me things simply because I mention them. My mother used to get mad at me when I’d go grocery shopping with my grandparents and I’d come home with a new toy just because I said it was nice. I didn’t necessarily want the toy. I’d just merely say it was pretty or a nice color or it looked cool and my grandmother would buy it for me. Nothing expensive, of course, but my mother thought I’d twisted my grandmother’s arm. I learned not to admire toys when I was out with my grandparents. Lion knows I don’t ask for things but I have gotten better about it lately.

So today will be a busy day. A 2-hour movie and then a 3-hour football game with laundry thrown in for good measure. I hope we’ll both sleep well tonight.

two new paddles
The new, larger and heavier tenderizer (left) ad the old lighter one. The new one is bound to be a lot meaner.

Did you remember to set your clock back an hour? Most of ours set themselves. The one inside of me has no reset. I’ll just have to deal with this semi-annual jet lag. Last night was sex free. I keep falling asleep in front of the TV. I’m not sure if that is more of an indictment of TV than it is of me. Anyway, when I woke up, I asked Mrs. Lion to snuggle. We did. She pinched my left nipple, but that was it in terms of play.

Tomorrow afternoon we are going  to the movie to see the Queen flick. Mrs. Lion likes Freddy Mercury. She seems to fixate on British rockers. As she pointed out to me, “I’ve gone to your operas. The least you can do is go see a movie I like!”

I agree. The thing is that I didn’t object when she said she wanted to go.  I’m not sure why she needed to justify going to me. We’re going to the IMAX version. I suggested that since the sound system is usually superior in an IMAX theater. If you’re going to a movie about  rock band, might as well have the best possible sound.

Maybe we will be more sexual tomorrow. Maybe I can stay awake. Lots of maybe’s. There’s a good chance my allergy meds are making me sleepy. I’m taking a lot now. For no apparent reason, I get very allergic for a few weeks every six months or so. The allergist told me to take lots of antihistamines. I am. They may make me sleepy but they don’t prevent boners. Whew!

Remember the paddle called the Tenderizer? It’s the one with a pointy grid on one side and smooth on the other. A couple of weeks ago when we played our football game, Mrs. Lion decided to use the tenderizer for spanking me each time a team scored a ;point. She used the flat side. It is very effective.

Anyway, she commented that it would be better if the paddle were heavier. I took this to heart and contacted the maker and asked if we could get a heavier one. He said we could and made one for us. The new one is made of chchen, a very heavy hardwood. It’s beautiful as well as bigger and meaner. Mrs. Lion doesn’t remember telling me she would like a heavier version. Now she has one.

She’s been punishing me with our heavy, wooden spoon. It’s proven very effective and she’s commented on how much she likes using it. She’s unwilling to commit to the idea that it will remain her go-to punishment tool, but I think that since she is pleased with the control she has and the results that it might be a good idea to stick with it.

In that vein, I ordered a spoon-shaped paddle made from chchen too. It will be heavier and flat on the striking surface. That will make it more effective. Some people think the convex side of a spoon makes it meaner for spanking. I disagree. It actually reduces the effect. The shape allows the force to be distributed across the rounded end more slowly than it would from a flat surface the same size. I know because we have a paddle with a similar shape and it is much meaner.

Anyway, I’ll find out how the new paddle “works” today. We are watching the Seahawks game. I will be strapped into the shock collar and Mrs. Lion will have her paddle ready. She’s added a rule starting with this game. She will swat me with the tenderizer (pointy) side if our team’s quarterback is sacked. She didn’t say how many swats I will get each time. I’ll find out later. Have a great Sunday!
