I left work early yesterday to take the dog to the vet. She was not very energetic and I figured there’d be a problem getting her into the car. I didn’t think she’d outright refuse to move. Worse yet, when I tried to get the leash off her, she snapped at me. Luckily, I was able to reschedule the appointment to this afternoon, but I have no idea if she’ll be any more cooperative.

I was so tired I actually fell asleep at work. You know when you feel your head drop and it wakes you up. Yeah, that was me. The dog woke me up very early and I wasn’t able to get back to sleep. Once it was clear we wouldn’t be making the trip to the vet, both Lion and I snoozed a bit watching TV. It helped a lot but I was still tired.

Once the dinner dishes were cleared, Lion put on some game shows. I thought about stopping him so we could play, but I didn’t. The longer we kept watching, the less I felt like playing. Around 9:30 or 10, he asked if there was a reason we didn’t do anything. At the time I said I just didn’t stop watching TV. He said he could have paused at any time. Yes, but I just didn’t ask him to. No excuse. I just didn’t do it. Now, I’m wondering what happened to his ask-deny experiment. He was supposed to ask and I was supposed to tell him no. Why didn’t he do that? I’m guessing he forgot. I did too, obviously. I think we only did it once. I’m not saying it would have made me any more inclined to do something last night, but it’s yet another thing we’ve failed to do.

The other day we were talking about the just because spankings and how often they should happen. I suggested doing them on regular punishment days. That may be overkill. There are three punishment days per week. I don’t think Lion needs a raw butt three times a week. Of course, if he breaks a rule three times a week, he should be punished that often. Otherwise, no. The problem, if there really is one, is that those days are fairly evenly spaced throughout the week. I guess we could start out with Monday and Thursday and see how it goes. Maybe just one day a week. Hmmm, it is Thursday. Okay. You’ve twisted my arm. We’ll start today.

Tuesday, I posted a picture of the result of my most recent spanking. I didn’t look at it very carefully. I was illustrating the latest, painful experience. I took a closer look, and I noticed a significant change. Ever since Mrs. Lion started giving me serious spankings, the most significant marks were always on the sides of my bottom. She noticed this and was still unable to correct the coverage. The image below is from a punishment spanking in May. It was delivered with me on the bed with my legs mostly off the side.

Even with a strong effort to even out the coverage, the crack area got less attention. I know that Mrs. Lion worked hard to get some marks near my crack. It turned out to be very difficult. It didn’t occur to either of us that it might be my position and not her spanking technique.

When I got a “just because” spanking on the new spanking bench, the pattern was very different. You can see that the heaviest marking was close to my crack. Nothing changed other than me riding the bench. I am sure it gave Mrs. Lion the ability to move much more freely relative to my butt. Marking the center area is much easier. She can move back to the end of the paddle hits next to the crack. She didn’t have much room when I was across the foot of the bed. You can see the result below.

After my recent spanking bench paddling, the marks move to the center.

There are still significant marks on the sides, but the crack area has very significant marks. This is much closer to even coverage. Now that Mrs. Lion has more flexibility in her position, my bottom receives significantly more diversely spaced marks.

Very mean blue paddle. It’s perfect for inside my crack. Click image to purchase.

Coverage is still not even. That’s very difficult to achieve but is possible in a ten-plus minute spanking. She now has much easier access to the inside of my crack. Her mean, the blue paddle can come into play there. Her improved position lets her stand right over me for access to that most tender and painful area.

I don’t seem to color very much except for bruising and blistering. The best Mrs. Lion has been able to achieve so far is dark pink. I know she wants to produce an even, dark red. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been able to do that yet. The swats that produce the general redness sting like hell. They are good for discipline as well as post-spanking photography.

Mrs. Lion said that she might try much more frequent “just because” spankings as a way to improve our attention to behavior and to give her a chance to refine her technique further. I’m sure she will take pictures to show you.

My butt after Monday’s “just because” spanking. It’s sore, but not nearly as bad as it feels after a disciplinary spanking.

As Mrs. Lion wrote in her post yesterday, I got another “just because” spanking. She is still working out the best way to spank me with our new spanking bench. She set the timer to ten minutes but disregarded it when it went off. I guess she wasn’t finished. That’s fine. It’s the DWC method.

These “just because” spankings aren’t as painful as my punishment spankings. We agreed that there shouldn’t be any real difference, but so far, the damage is less when it isn’t a punishment. Monday night, I was very happy that Mrs. Lion didn’t hit as hard as usual. The position I’m in on the bench stretches my bottom. This makes the paddling hurt much more. I know. That’s a good thing. Spankings are supposed to hurt as much as possible.

In the past, we tried having me on my knees, with my head on the bed. That puts my rear at about the same angle as it is on the spanking bench. I couldn’t hold that position. Now, I can’t move. I’m strapped down and can’t do anything to reduce the pain. All I can do is yelp and scream. Don’t you feel sorry for me? Of course not! It’s what we both want.

Right now, it hurts when I sit. It isn’t as bad as my last punishment, but it does hurt. Mrs. Lion likes to experiment, so I expect that another “just because” spanking is coming up as soon as I heal from this one. Based on my experience and my reading, this isn’t a bad thing. Other than helping Mrs. Lion increase my discomfort, it also focuses our attention on our disciplinary relationship.

It isn’t just about punishing me for disobedience. I’m starting to think that isn’t the most important aspect of our domestic discipline. I can’t put my finger on it, but things are lighter around here for a few days after a spanking. Mrs. Lion is more playful. She even pays more sexual attention to me. She teases me about being spanked and will play-threaten me with a paddling.

I’m more playful too. And, I have to admit, I feel more sexual. That’s no big surprise. I get turned on by being spanked. But, that doesn’t explain Mrs. Lion’s changes. I think she gets turned on too–not in a sexual way, but an emotional one. She doesn’t exactly enjoy spanking me but likes her ability to blister my bottom. We are similar this way. Neither of us exactly likes the actual spanking, but we both get value out of it after it’s done.

When I think back to the “experiments” when Mrs. Lion spanked me almost daily, we were both more physical and affectionate. There’s no question that my reaction to spanking is different than hers. She isn’t turned on by it. But it affects her.

Will a drastic increase in spankings really benefit us both? Will I stop bleeding if Mrs. Lion toughens my hide? Will she find more reasons to catch me? Maybe if she knows she will spank me anyway, she will finally enforce interrupting her and other annoying things I may do.

One of the problems with disciplinary spanking is that it is reserved for punishment. I’m not suggesting that Mrs. Lion stop punishing me. I think that recreational butt-blistering is something that might help us both. Also, maybe we should go back to the Box O’Fun and Zapardy and Spankardy too. I think inertia has taken hold in the lions den, and we need to work to drive it away consistently. If Mrs. Lion agrees, I will have to get used to painful sitting.

Lion on his spanking bench after his paddling last night..

I dragged the spanking bench out last night and got it ready for Lion. He was slow to get into position. I know he didn’t want to be whomped, but delaying can only mean more swats. Of course, this was a “just because” spanking, but it could easily have shifted to punishment.

This time I made sure I set the ten-minute timer. I found some paddles with bigger faces and set to work. The spanking bench is near my paddle collection. Well, one of my paddle collections. There are more on my dresser and in a trunk, and even more in a bin somewhere. We have a lot of paddles. I should really categorize them based on thud or sting and how mean they are.

I swear I started slow. I wasn’t swatting hard at all. By my first-ever spanking standard, I was hitting extremely hard. That felt like a fly was landing on Lion’s butt. I’ve improved my skills since then. Even by today’s standards, I wasn’t hitting hard. His buns were getting pink. I was swatting all over his cheeks, setting them up for the onslaught to follow. I make it sound like he’s as big a mess as the pictures he finds online. He does not look like hamburger meat when I’m done.

Still, even with the warm-up with a larger paddle, he was yelping quickly when I started hitting harder. I was nowhere near full strength yet. I guess the spanking bench does a good job of stretching his skin. There are no wrinkles or folds. I make full contact with his skin. Lion can certainly attest to that. Since I was doing the full ten-minute spanking, I did draw blood. And more blood. And more blood. I cleaned him off, and he was still oozing. As I hit, the blood was spattered on my leg. He was getting my paddles all bloody. How dare he! As soon as he stood up, he stopped bleeding. Something about the stretched skin makes it prone to more bleeding. We’ll have to work on that.

His sore buns festered while I showered. My stomach was a little unsettled, so I was trying not to move to let it calm down. Lion asked why we haven’t done anything sexual since his last orgasm. I said either one of us or the other wasn’t feeling well, and he was sleeping a lot. He has a problem when I say his sleeping gets in the way of sex. He thinks if he sleeps at any point, sex is off the table. Not true. It is off the table when he can’t seem to stay awake.

This morning, I was thinking about it more. I could look through my posts of the time and see what happened exactly, but my recollection is that he had his refractory period of about four days. I don’t remember if it was right after that when I edged him within an inch of his life. Then we were waiting for the strap to arrive for the spanking bench. I was putting off sex until we tested out the new spanking position. Once we got it, we did a short test, and I don’t remember if I played with him. And then he wasn’t feeling well. I remember his snoozing one night, and then I was tired by the time he woke up. Today is day 11, so it’s not like he’s been ignored for a month.

Tonight, I will attempt to make up for not giving him the attention he needs. I mean, nice attention. He got mean, bloody attention last night.
