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.

focused spanking paddle
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.
(Click image to go to the product page.)

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.

measure lion's ass
We use my butt to show the relative size of spanking devices. Here is a measure of this standard.

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.

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.

As Mrs. Lion wrote in her post yesterday, I was punished for not reminding her that Thursday is punishment day. We had a weekend visitor a week ago so we temporarily moved Mrs. Lion’s paddle collection to the basement. When it came time to punish me, the paddles were still downstairs. Earlier last week, I was spanked for spilling on my shirt. The paddles were downstairs and Mrs. Lion used her heavy, spanking spoon.

She administered a painful spanking that night. She hit hard and fast. She seemed a bit unsatisfied with her handiwork. The spoon has never been her favorite disciplinary tool. Ironically, the spoon is one of the few toys that bruised my bottom. When she finished, she said that she would get the rest of her paddles.

Friday night arrived and it was time to spank me. The paddles were still in the basement. I asked if she wanted to get them. She said she didn’t and got the spoon. This spanking was different than the one on Tuesday night. It hurt more, a lot more. She started with fairly light swats. She maintained a cruelly, fast pace. The pain set in very quickly.

She alternated with five or ten swats to my  left cheek and then repeated them on my right. Over and over, harder and harder the unrelenting swats went on. She uses the convex side of the spoon. The force of her blows are concentrated on a small area of tender flesh.

As she continued to hit me she said,

“Why didn’t I think of this before?”

“What?” I grunted.

“It’s much better if I keep hitting the same spots.”

Oh. I understood why the pain was so intense. Mrs. Lion was using clusters of very fast, hard swats on the same small area on each cheek. Over and over. Harder and harder. I had to escape. I started to roll away. She gave me a hard look and I rolled back into position. She resumed sharp, fast, hits to those two small areas.

It was unbearable. Fortunately, she took mercy on me and stopped. She was pleased with herself. Apparently, a disciplinary light bulb went on in her head. She realized that she had discovered an effective way to make her spanking more painful. It’s true. She did.

She said I was red. Of course, I couldn’t see it. My bottom, right on the sit spot was sore for a while after she finished. Something new happened.

In all fairness, Mrs. Lion has used various paddles to give me very painful spankings. Friday’s wasn’t the worst she’s dished out. That’s not the point. Clearly, she and her spoon found an effective way to work together. She seemed to be in more control of the pain she gave me.

More importantly, this spanking was different. It was nothing like prior punishments or play spankings. It felt more focused. Had she gone on for a while longer, she might have produced tears. This spanking clearly hurt me much more than it hurt her.

From a technical perspective, by concentrating on a small area, she had a better chance of giving me a lasting bruise. If she did, she could move her aim a few inches and continue unabated. I also don’t think she was hitting as hard as she could. I got the sense that Friday was sort of an experiment, a test of a new technique.

If that’s the case, I imagine that she will continue using her spoon to spank me. She’ll apply it with more force for many more swats. She may have to sit on me to keep me still. I really wanted to get away.  If she wanted to spank me again if, for example, I forget to thank her, she can do so on two new spots.

I have to admit that I’m more than a little afraid of that wooden spoon.
