One of the most fascinating aspects of writing a BDSM blog and engaging in conversation with the readers is that one gets introduced to a myriad of slightly different kinks, with all their little commonalities and differences. This has been an especially enjoyable comment thread for me to read.Ludwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14975294529532823252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-70720118254230011772013-07-25T07:29:50.339+02:002013-07-25T07:29:50.339+02:00I'm a bottom and more often than not come from...I'm a bottom and more often than not come from that perspective.

I do like the fussing with clothing, positioning, etc. and that is from the spanker's POV. <br /><br />I don't know why males are "supposed" to like F/F. The F/F I write is often female-centric and not written for male viewing pleasure (of the voyeuristic kind), although there are some who do write that way. <br /><br />For me, it's the power dynamic and the emotional connection that matter.

And the reaction it has on the bottom, not so much the suffering, but how the body reacts, how the flesh is marked, dependent on the type of cane used and the way it is applied.<br /><br />But I also view it from the perspective of a bottom so I tend to empathise and sympathise with the suffering and try to imagine how I might feel in the same circumstances. <br /><br />I think this comes from my schooldays. I was never caned at school but lived in fear of it - and used to try to imagine how the boys who were might feel to bend over in front of the Headmaster or Headmistress and have their bottom’s caned. I’d wonder whether I’d be able to take it without a fuss. How I’d cope with the humiliation of everyone knowing I’d been caned. And I still have those same feelings every time I watch a corporal punishment video.<br /><br />I view any consensual adult corporal punishment in the same way, whether it is F/m, F/f, M/f or M/m because my fascination is with corporal punishment itself. <br /><br />What I also find is that I tend to err towards amateur video clips where the wife is punishing the husband or vice verca, because it is reality compared to professional films, irrespective of the severity of punishments in the latter.<br />Respecting Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283458872041706615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-22874493580425660812013-07-19T19:19:27.596+02:002013-07-19T19:19:27.596+02:00Whew!

My interest lies predominately with the sexual aspect of spanking not the pain. I appreciate the visual and tactile fantasies evoked by stories, videos and photos. Is this a separate perspective or a subset of "top" or "observer"? <br />I am old now, but in my prime I was a top and therefore able to enjoy my the sensual stimulus of my fetish.Gustofurnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-28705930638942183162013-07-18T19:33:44.876+02:002013-07-18T19:33:44.876+02:00I started fantasizing about CP/spanking about the ...I started fantasizing about CP/spanking about the same time as you. If I remember correctly, as memory is deceptive indeed, I was in the position of an observer or bottom most of the time. When I read books featuring corporal punishment scenes, be it as part of the official curriculum in school or in private, I mostly imagined myself or girls I fancied getting it, quite often in a classroom setting. As I repeatedly mentioned, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" was a fantastic turn-on and is still the the source of several of my dearest fantasies. <br />I was well in my twenties before I seriously began to embrace toppy fantasies as well, probably after realizing that my musing about CP was not just another weird interest but a core part of my sexual identity. <br />While watching spanking clips, I still identify with the bottom in the vast majority of the cases. Nonetheless, when I find something particularly intriguing, I could imagine to recreate a similar scene as a top with a consenting partner as part of a role play.Fenrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-87004567077982315882013-07-18T16:41:45.637+02:002013-07-18T16:41:45.637+02:00I think watching spanking movies in most cases I&#...I think watching spanking movies in most cases I'm an observer. In my own fantasies though, I'm clearly not. Being a switch I have both top and bottom fantasies. But I've far more toppy fantasies. Interesting is the fact, that in most of my bottom fantasies I'm in trouble with some female partner in crime and we both get punished by a female spanker.Ursus Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689558099398609440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-64962321288812252013-07-18T01:17:45.549+02:002013-07-18T01:17:45.549+02:00Very interesting topic, once more.

Even after I realised that I was actually more of a submissive than a top I continued to enjoy films in which women where punished and still assumed I was watching them imagining that I was the person handing out the spankings etc. It took me a long time to realise that it was actually more complicated than that. I think that whilst watching spanking films or viewing pictures I react on several levels. The top level is the straightforward enjoyment of the sight of an attractive woman receiving a punishment. However there is a second level in which I am imagining myself on the receiving end of a similar punishment or in a similar predicament to the actress. Initially I thought this only applied when the punishment was being carried out by a woman but recently I have realised that it also applies if a man is doing the punishing. I have previously in a comment on your blog related how I felt when punished by a man and how I didn't really enjoy it but I think my sexuality is rather more complicated than I had ever considered. It may be that the punishment is more important to me than the cast involved but does that make me a pure masochist both in real life and fantasy rather than someone who enjoys CP related activities? I'm not sure but I do know that I enjoy my spankings/beatings from my Mistress and that these days I don't watch as much spanking related material as before, possibly because the bulk of fantasies are being realised and the ones that aren't are better in my mind anyway.Simonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-68260106653292355932013-07-17T19:54:23.374+02:002013-07-17T19:54:23.374+02:00I am also a switch and I have a hard time identify...I am also a switch and I have a hard time identifying with either the top or the bottom in most spanking films because, in my opinion, they are so poorly done or they are so far from my interests. I have zero interest in punishment/discipline, so being spanked for drinking too much, talking on the phone while driving, etc. is just not my cup of tea.<br /><br />As a top, my role is to take the woman where she wants to go to experience her deepest fantasies, even the ones she has not told me about. It's my job to probe and guess. I have never seen a film where the top was operating in that mode. If there was one, I could ID with the top.<br /><br />I know, as a male, I supposed to like F/F. But, I don't.<br /><br />F/M, we have seen some amateur clips that were quite good and where I could ID with the man.

All of my fantasies involve me as a bottom.<br /><br />For me, the gender of the bottom is irrelevant. From reading accounts by female authors, I believe we feel the same pain from a spanking. When I watch a film, I recall my past experiences as a bottom.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
