Personal of the Week

Hey Gang!

In my continued attempt to satirize the spanking scene, here is the first - drumroll, please - "Personal of the Week".

"There are some people who believe, pain is weekness leaving the body ! have u ever thought of getting tied and having the soles of your feet beaten by a gentle arousing cane. Do you need some extra cash. ( up to a pound per single stroke ! )I am a gentle, caring University student based in southampton doing an experiment for which I need your help. If you are a lady between 18 and 40 and would like to have some adventurous fun, email me back on [email address removed to avoid embarrassment]. The session would be discreet , safe and fun. don't hesitate to contact me about anything you may need. But please no time wasters !Southampton Southampton Southampton"

...itc

The ITC website has the potential to be good. I have used the word "potential" because presently it's not particularly great at all.

The website's strength is that it provides a place for men and women, professional and non-professional, to post Personals free of charge. The site's hosting fees, presumably, are paid for by the banner ads.

The site's weakness, however - and it's one huge big fuck-off weakness - is that its message board appears to be completely unmoderated. Or at the very least poorly moderated. It is full of petty bickering and blatant vindictiveness, with little intelligent or insightful discussion.

British Spanking has its faults, but at least it's reasonably well moderated. They allow differences of opinion on BS, but if someone is quite obviously causing trouble then they're generally dealt with fairly swiftly and effectively.

I'm fond of ITC - and Mick and Jan, its owners, obviously do it as a labour of love - but it's in desperate need of a revamp.

Russ Trayshun #2

Hey Gang!

My friend Russ Trayshun, fifty-six year old divorced spanko, has sent another email.

"How are you, Danny?

Can't wait till the end of November, mate. Child maintenance stops being taken out of me wage, which means I can spend more money on spanking professionals. So hurrah for kids growing up. The cow only used to spend 'money on fags and trips to Mecca bingo, anyway.

What I don't understand, Dan, is that magazines are full of fit young chicks being spanked by men who look like Mr Bean or Woody Allen. I didn't think looks mattered in the "spanking scene". But I'm still waiting for my elusive 23-year-old spanking girlfriend.

Ah well. Life goes on.

Now fuck off and leave me alone.

Russ."

...magazines

I was once conned by David Sullivan, the ever-so-slimy owner of the Sport newspaper. You see, in addition to the Sport, Sullivan's company used to publish an extraordinarily piss-poor spanking magazine called Swish. It was crap; a spanking magazine quite obviously overseen by a vanilla editor with no interest in the subject other than its capacity to make money. Anway: what they used to do was publish the same magazine several times, but under different covers. Most people don't check the inside content of naughty magazines when they're in the newsagent's; so it's only when you got home that you realised you'd been duped.

Still bitter? You bet.

Carmel Buttons

Hey Gang!

You spank-fans will be pleased to read the following letter from my friend Carmel Buttons. She's 41 (although professionally she has been 26 for the past 15 years), and did her first Janus photoshoot in the early Nineties. She's appeared on several websites, and still does one-to-ones (sexual services neither given nor received).

Over to you, Carmel:

"Hellooooo!

Last month's London party went down a storm. There were four girls (Penelope Spankme, Danii Pinkcheeks, Faye Fizzle, and little old me). We looked a treat in our cute little cheerleader's outfits. The fifty-four guys present certainly had their work cut out that afternoon (finding a seat for starters - hee hee. Naughty Carmel!!). We did a round of spanking, followed by a break for food and drinks while us girlies changed into our kangaroo outfits. Out came the toys for the second part. Followed by another break while we dressed up as EastEnders characters for the third and final part (Danii went down a storm as Dot Cotton, and Penelope's Pat Evans was an absolute hoot). All in all, a smashing afternoon of spanking fun, and we hope to see all the guys again soon!

The kids are back at school next week which means - good news! - I am available for one-on-ones again. Email me if interested. I can also arrange 2-on-1s, 3-on-1s, or if you're feeling really brave 6-on-1s. Again, email for details.

Will write again soon.

Luv

Carmel Buttons

...legislation

My intention was to write a post about the Home Office's legislation on sexually violent pornography. However, this topic is presently being thrashed out on Internet forums throughout the spanking and BDSM world, and there's little I can say that won't have been said already. All I will say, though, is that the debate is largely academic: the new legislation does not appear to affect spanking or CP material. So we don't have to burn our Kane mags, or hammer a screwdriver through our hard-drives, just yet.

I was wondering why the Government introduced the legislation. Everything's done for a reason. Rarely is that reason for the good of the populace; usually the reason is to keep the system ticking over nicely. The new legislation is NOT going to reduce the number of violent crimes - surely no-one's stooopid enough to think that. And, like all new laws, it's going to cost money to enforce. So one can only assume that Labour have introduced it because it is a potential vote-winner.
