Welcome and thanks a lot for your comment!...@ Olli:<br />Welcome and thanks a lot for your comment! I didn't expect to get any comments from people who have read the Schreckenstein books, too. :-)<br /><br />I think you weren't the only one who used dictionaries as sources for kinky fantasies, I'm quite sure that I read about that from others as well.<br /><br /><br />@ Karl Friedrich Gauss:<br />I'm not sure whether any of Shrek's ancestors lived at Schreckenstein. They definitely weren't mentioned in the books... ;-)<br /><br /><br />@ Ranai:<br />Yep, the torture chamber was indeed cool. Especially “Paule”, the skeleton in the wall closet. And the torture rack was indeed used from time to time to tie down some errant knights and teach them a lesson about the rules at Schreckenstein and the code of honour.<br /><br />I think I somehow even liked the boys vs girls scenario, maybe because I preferred to be among boys, anyway. And I don't think that the genders were depicted too unidimensionally all the time. For example Sonja often helped the boys and was described as being very cool, then there was the one girl who knew karate and beat Steamroller in a one-on-one fight and so on.<br /><br />Unfortunately I haven't read Kalle Blomquist, but I've heard the title!<br /><br /><br />@ Ursus:<br />Yes, it is indeed sad that there aren't so many good M/M movies out there. It seems to me that “Spanking Central” produces very interesting high quality stuff, but it would be nice to have more producers of high quality M/M scenes.<br /><br />I think it's cool that you are open for M/M play! It's quite common in our community to have F/F scenes, also between heterosexual women, but unfortunately M/M scenes between straight guys seem to be much less common and M/M play seems to be generally less accepted.Kaelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108718924415630397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-49787379584513535072011-05-24T18:06:55.685+02:002011-05-24T18:06:55.685+02:00It's sad there is not too much good M/m spanki...It's sad there is not too much good M/m spanking movies out there. Every once in a while, I'd enjoy it.<br /><br />Also interesting, when I came in to the scene, I was sure I don't want to play with other men. But as longer I think about it, I'm not so sure anymore. Now, I can imagine to top a youngish man, if the chemistry is right. Let's see what the future brings...Ursus Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689558099398609440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-3156791791180836522011-05-24T11:44:26.912+02:002011-05-24T11:44:26.912+02:00Hey Ranai,

I borrowed a...I remember the Schreckenstein series. I borrowed and read these volumes, always hoping there'd be a new council scene taking place in their torture chamber, which, after all, contained an actual rack! A rack which, I seem to recall, even got used to tie down some schoolfellow for a stern talking-to about needing to stick to their code of honour and so forth. Yay!<br /><br /><i>Although I had to smile a bit, when I re-read the scene for the translation after so many years, because I thought: That was it? Such a short description without any explicit details?</i><br /><br />I think it perfectly makes sense. A possible lack of details in a scene is easily compensated by interesting story context details. The scene is integral part of a plot, and involves distinct characters the reader knows much more about. (That's how short kinky fanfiction scenes work for fans: context and characters are known.) Lack of explicit details would be more sorely missed in an isolated kinky action scene where actors were presented as tabula rasa who just show up to spank each other and then fade again into nothingness.<br /><br />For me, Schreckenstein was not a series I got into that much though, because honestly these weren't characters I found genuinely likeable. So I just read these books once or twice for fun and then returned them to the library. A 'war of the sexes' construction such as Schreckenstein vs. Rosenfels tends to turn me off. I was distrustful of stories that put a lot of work into ascribing certain qualities to boys, and certain other qualities to girls, even when I was a young girl and had zero clue of grown-up words such as 'gender essentialism'.<br /><br />I've enjoyed stories with equal opportunity game feuds between friends more, such as the playful war of the roses in Astrid Lindgren's Kalle Blomquist (Swedish: Blomkvist) books. No spanking scenes in those, but lots of capture and escape. Perhaps you've read them too?Ranaihttp://ranai.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-63169453680977439662011-05-22T18:47:29.631+02:002011-05-22T18:47:29.631+02:00I wonder if this is any relation to the animated m...I wonder if this is any relation to the animated movie character "Shrek"; it's pronounced the same isn't it?

What do I say... I "ate" them. <br /><br />In my bookshelf there are all 27 volumes, even volume 4 from where you took your excerpt.<br /><br />And this scene you described influenced me, too, so I can understand your feelings very good. But, you mentioned the discrepancy between the very small description of the scene with less details on the one hand and the influence to your kink on the other. <br /><br />When I read that I remembered another book I often "read" when I was about 12 up to 15 years old; that book has had similar influence to my kink although there weren't any "scene descriptions" in it. It wasn't a "book for reading" at all, e.g. a novel, but a dictionary: the "Schülerduden Richtige Wortwahl". I had been triggered by items like "schlagen", "versohlen", "verdreschen" and so on.<br /><br />The pictures in my head had been very impressive - and up to now I feel a little shudder when realising these words in a text...Ollinoreply@blogger.com
