spanking lion with paddle tramp paddle
Lion is modelling the Paddle Tramp paddle we keep in the kitchen. It’s a perfect size and packs a very big wallop. Lion’s butt is quite small so it makes the paddle look larger than it is. (Click image to enlarge.)

Over twenty years ago I found a very cool paddle in a gift shop. I suspect that the owner thought it was a cheese server. It’s not very big, but extremely effective. I think, swat-for-swat, it’s one of the most painful paddles we own. It has a brand name burned in, “Paddle Tramps”. For the last few years I have visited their website hoping to find another. The wonderful, little paddle (CP110-Oak) we have hanging in our kitchen [See image, right] wasn’t on the site. Then yesterday, I checked again and found it! It’s only $7.95 plus shipping. It measures 3 1/2-inches wide, 9 1/2-inches long, and 5/8-inches thick.

Paddle Tramp specializes in fraternity paddles, not cheese servers. They call our “cheese server” the “Traditional Paddle CP110-Oak” I call it “The Bottom Warmer”. Click the product model to see it on their site. Oak is a very hard and dense wood. The paddle is probably a bit too big and heavy for a purse, but it is absolutely perfect for general disciplinary use. It’s just the right size for OTK spanking, or as we use it, “bend over and grab the kitchen counter”.

We have a longstanding rule that I am to be naked at all times when home. So, my bare bottom is always available when Mrs. Lion wants to spank it.  If I offend in the kitchen, she normally starts by giving me the look. Then, she unhooks the paddle. I bend over the counter. She administers several very hard swats. Each swat stings and burns. She does at least 6 or 8 rapid fire swats, alternating between cheeks. Over the years she has made good use of this of this handy attitude adjuster. In my opinion, this paddle is way more effective than our hairbrush paddle. The heavy oak and the barely-rounded edges assure that I understand how Mrs. Lion feels about what I’ve done.

This bargain paddle is perfect for beginning spankers as well as veteran disciplinarians. Using it requires no training or practice. It’s compact size assures it finds its mark on the very first swat. It’s the right size to reach the very tender tissue on the inside of thighs as well as make an amazing impression on the sit spot or above. Even a light swat stings. A strong swing makes me yelp and jump.

Best of all, if you or your partner is new to spanking, this little paddle isn’t intimidating and will give her a chance to try spanking with a truly effective tool. We have a very large collection of paddles and other spanking implements; some costing over a hundred dollars. This $7.95 paddle has to rank in the top three implements I fear. Because of its very low price and extreme effectiveness, this is the ideal first paddle for a new spanker to acquire. In fact, it’s the only paddle you may ever need. It’s size and weight are absolutely perfect for warming any bottom.

I ordered some of the dual pouch underwear that I wrote about a bit ago. It has a pouch for the penis and a ventilated area for the balls. I got a comment from a guy who says he wears these with a Jail Bird. I suppose it is possible with a long enough cage, but mine is too short for it to work. I was wild yesterday for a doctor’s appointment. I took advantage of the opportunity to wear a pair of the dual pouch briefs.

They do feel nice. The separate pouches do eliminate the need to “adjust”. The micro modal fabric feels great. In the car, the place where the label is sewn on the back did dig in a bit. You have to remove the very long labels before wearing. There is a unique fly at the end of the penis pouch. Once you figure out how it works, it is a nice improvement on the standard side fly. This one opens so that the penis goes through a horizontal opening in the end of the pouch. Very easy to use and comfortable. Some complain about the price. These are cheap for micro modal fabric, only $6 each pair. You can find them here if you want to try them for yourself.

My shoulder remains pretty painful which has reduced my interest in sexual activity. The pain comes and goes, so when it’s not hurting too much we do have some fun. It’s all a matter of timing. Mrs. Lion is wonderful about taking care of me. She does everything she can to make me more comfortable. After work last night I saw my doctor. He gave me a cortisone shot which he says will help.

Some people don’t believe that we are real. Others find it hard to accept we are as happily married as we appear. There is nothing I can do about proving either. It’s sometimes hard for me to believe we get along as well as we do. I was incredibly lucky to find my lioness. We just fit together. She’s gone way out of her way to accommodate me. She became my keyholder and later my disciplining wife with no expectation that either would be rewarding to her. She did both simply to make me happy.

Fortunately, she found a lot of value in enforced chastity and she does it because she knows it makes us a better couple. The jury has been out on domestic discipline and FLR. However, she recently discovered she enjoys it when she discovers me breaking a rule. That may not seem like a big deal, but it is. She may still be doing it because she knows I want it, but she is also doing it because she has discovered a personal challenge she likes.

I don’t think she will ever get real pleasure out of punishing me. She may find the trouble that I get myself into amusing, but that’s not the same. I don’t get any pleasure out of being punished. We both realize that punishment is a necessary part of the power exchange. It’s also an effective way to change my behavior.

We aren’t living a fantasy. We are living a real-life FLR/enforced chastity lifestyle. What we write here is a true account of our power exchange. If it seems we are having fun, we are. We love each other and what we are doing.

bellaflash hair removal system
This is the hair removal system we bought to tame Lion’s nether regions. Click the image to go to Costco product page.

Yesterday was a bit less hectic than Saturday. We went to the warehouse store and the supermarket. Mrs. Lion kindly did manscaping. The new Bella Flash hair removal device shows great promise. After only three weeks, there is a marked reduction of the amount of hair growing back. The BellaFlash device uses a flash tube as the source of energy. Flash tubes are used in photography as well as powerful landing lights and other “strobe” applications.

The bright light contains a lot of energy; very similar to the energy contained in a laser beam. The flash transmits heat through dark hairs to the follicle. This action stuns the follicle and it doesn’t produce more hair, at least for a while. I had laser treatments about fifteen years ago that covered a lot of my pubic hair. Almost all of it has not returned. There is just one stubborn patch at the base of my penis that kept growing back very thin hairs.

Since the three treatments with the Bellaflash, this area is growing back a much lighter crop. In other places that the laser never touched, namely my rear, Mrs. Lion notes that in many spots hair hasn’t returned. In others it is sparser. That means the BellaFlash is getting enough heat down to the follicles to at least stun them.

Treatments have to continue every two weeks for some months. Follicles grow hairs on their own schedule. Dermatologists have observed that some go dormant for as much as 250 days before sprouting. So, the BellaFlash can’t attack a follicle that hasn’t produced a hair. Over eight or nine months most, if not all, follicles will produce some hair. The biweekly treatments should catch them as they come up past the skin.

numb master anesthetic gel
This is the Lidocaine gel I use to reduce the pain associated with the BellaFlash hair removal system. Click image for a link to where I buy it.

This process isn’t without pain. The flash can hurt. My balls, in particular, are the most sensitive. We are able to flash most of me at maximum power. You want to use the most power you can. We have to go down a notch for my balls. I use an anesthetic cream before each treatment. Without it, the discomfort is very high. I use Numb Master. It’s a 5% Lidocaine gel. That’s the most concentrated you can buy without a prescription. It gets applied over the entire area to be treated. A few minutes after the first application, you put a thick coating of it over the first. Then you cover the area with plastic wrap. The wrap keeps it from rubbing off and it also causes the area to get warmer. This activates the anesthetic. Wait between 30 and 45 minutes before starting the treatment. Just before treating, remove the plastic wrap and use a wet washcloth to clean up the area. Then shave the entire area and do the light treatment. The gel is expensive but well worth the cost. It takes most of the pain out of the flash.

The day after treatment you may notice what looks like a sunburn where you used the BellaFlash. This is normal. You will also see “stubble” appearing to grow out of the treatment area. Actually this is the burnt hair that was under the skin being pushed out. It’s not new hair growing back. This process only works on dark hair and light skin. It won’t work on blonde or grey hair. The unit checks the color of your skin, and if it is too dark, it won’t fire.

If you buy the device from Costco, you can return it any time if you don’t get results. Amazon only gives you a thirty day return time limit. The results so far are on a par with the professional laser treatments I got from a doctor. Of course, it will be months before I know if this turns out to be just as long lasting. I’m encouraged by the results so far.
