Bullseye!

Hello. Remember me? Name's Red Rump - though I have been so busy lately, I'm afraid I am not living up to my name very well. I could use a good rump reddening, but I guess I'll just have to settle for dreaming of trading places with this poor sot...

The Office of Correctional Services, Pt. 11

Good Morning Tess

Wow, I can't believe we’re into February already! This school year is just flying by. I've been doing a lot of studying, a lot of researching and essaying, and driving out into the countryside on weekends taking photos for painting winter landscapes. I did manage to get in a day of skiing. This winter, for all its relentless storms and brutal cold, has been a skier's paradise. I am so out of shape, though – my muscles were so sore after that day I could hardly walk. Gave me a taste of what old age has in store for us all…

How are you and your new beau getting on?

Hi Linds

Your winter sounds like our winter. Never seen so much snow, even for Colorado. Jim and I are doing great. He is such a nice guy. The best I've come across in a long time. We`re planning a trip down to Sedona for Valentine's. Can't wait.

BTW, you haven't mentioned anything about Royce or your part time job (if you can call it that) for the last month. Is all that spanking stuff out of your system?

Hi Tessie

Sedona would be wonderful! I am so jealous – and happy you seem to have found someone who looks like a keeper. And no, 'all that spanking stuff' is most definitely NOT out of my system. I just thought you might be getting a little tired of my going on and on about it. But since you asked - things are a bit slow at the OCS right now. I've only been called in to work twice since Christmas. But Ms H has been giving me lessons in the punitive arts. She has me practicing on a pair of small chair pillows, working on my form and my aim. She says I demonstrate some talent with the cane. I must admit, I do so love wielding that thing, especially the whoosh sound it makes – music to my ears. I give my own pillows a solid fifty strokes every night before bed. I'd love to practise on Royce, but he is crazy busy with his own courses right now, and there`s not a lot of privacy to be had around campus, anyway. We did meet at Starbucks last week, and I promised him that when spring arrives – if it ever does! – we`ll find some abandoned barn somewhere and I'll deliver him a sound whuppin`  that will make up for lost time. I told him that he would be expected to cut his own switch, and that he'd best learn to do a better job of it than the last time, or else! I also told him how eager I was to see him twist and squirm under my strokes, to watch the welts rise on his bare flesh, and to hear his cries and gasps of desperation. He gaped at me like a little boy getting his first glimpse at a naked woman, and had a decided awkwardness to his stride when we walked out.  Once we got out to the parking lot, I gave him a stern warning not to masturbate over our little discussion once he was home, but I tend to think my words went unheeded!

Something else is going on, too. I FINALLY got a reply on my application to Delta Kappa Phi – they have accepted it (yay, me!). Remember, that was the whole reason I took that position at the OCS in the first place – one of the entry requirements was doing some kind of work around the college, and the OCS was the only thing I could get. Well, it took long enough, but I guess they decided it was sufficient. I still have to pass a final interview and then the initiation, but it looks good right now.

Hello Linds,

Congrats on your sorority app! That`s exciting! As for Royce, are you sure the two of you are not involved, even without meaning to be?

Hi Tess

No, we really aren't inclined romantically. Don't get me wrong – we are fond of each other, but we love the spanko relationship we have right now. It's kinky and unique, and frankly, if we crossed that line into boyfriend girlfriend territory, it would get more complicated and something of that fun kinkiness would be lost.

As for Delta Kappa Phi, I am trying not to get my hopes up too high. And to tell you the truth, I am more than a little nervous, too. You know, it's an old school sorority. The initiation is pretty rough. One of the girls told me in secret that it involved some pretty intense paddling.  I don't know if I want to go through that.

I know what you must be thinking – what a hypocrite! Lindsay is willing enough to dish it out, but not take it. Well, you're right. So I'm a hypocrite. Sue me. I am not a fan of pain, and I'm not abashed to admit it. When I mentioned the initiation to Ms H, she smiled, and said "Good! Lindsay, you need to do this. A disciplinarian should experience corporal punishment first hand herself. She needs to understand exactly what she is inflicting on her charges. It will give you a proper perspective and a more profound respect for the implements you wield."

I couldn't really argue with her – one does not argue with Ms H, in any case – I know she's right. Before I wield a paddle professionally, I really should know just what one feels like on my own bare butt. Still, I've seen how the students howl under Ms H's paddle, and my knees go weak thinking about it happening to me. At least those students don't really have a good idea of what they're in for until it's too late. I do have some idea. They say that the unknown is what causes us the most fear, but I don't know about that.

What do you think, big sister – should I go through with this or not?

Lindsay –

I suppose that depends on how committed you are to this disciplinarian thing.  She is right – how can you dish it out properly if you can't empathize with what the poor sap you're beating is undergoing?

OMG, listen to me – I'm starting to sound like your boss, for crying out loud.  I am totally out of my league here. Do what you want , little sister. You always do. Just be sure you know what it is you want, first.

Interview with Dana Kane

The world is getting crowded with Dominatrixes these days, as even the briefest search on the Internet will attest to. However, there are few as preDominant as the eminent Ms Dana Kane. Over the course of January, I have been busy working on an art project for her, and in response, she has graciously agreed to offer up some insights on her life of a Disciplinarian.

Have you been a lifelong spanko, or did you only discover the joys of butt-smacking as an adult?

I think I had one of the more atypical spanko-brewing upbringings, in that I wasn't spanked often or with much vigor, but didn't really crave them, either. I don't recall looking up the word 'spanking' in the dictionary or being particularly entranced with spanking imagery on television, but I have always been a little more than duly fascinated with other people's backsides. I think that the evolution to what we'd brand a spanko didn't really take place until I was introduced to a wider community with whom to participate; before that, I was just sort of the weird girl.

Could you tell us a bit about the circumstances that lead you to becoming a professional disciplinarian? Is it something you always wanted to do?

I moved to Los Angeles! It had never occurred to me that I could do what someone like Dana Specht or Jacqueline Omerta did before then. Lightbulb moment.
 
Do any of your non-spanko friends know what you do when they are not around....?

I have very few non-spanko friends at this point in my life. A few old friends and family members who're still around know everything about my lifestyle...they're not shocked.

You certainly seem to genuinely enjoy what you do. What is the most satisfying aspect of the punishment experience for you? ( is it the feeling of empowerment? the sense of naughty kink? the honesty and candidness of your clients exposing their private fantasies? Knowing that you are the vehicle for them to explore their own psyches? Or maybe it's just the way their buttocks turn redder and redder...?)

I know it's cheating to say 'all of the above', but that's really the only true answer. It's everything - the intimacy, the psychological aspects, certainly empathy, and also a large dose of what I've termed Gleeful Sadism.

Have those sensibilities evolved over time? If so, how?

If something gets routine, it's because we've approached it wrong. I think that we're always evolving in some way or another, if we're lucky, and the same goes for our peccadilloes. I've found that there's real catharsis in the physical act of sharing a spanking and have come to appreciate the simplicity of that shared energy.

Let's say a new client has approached you. He's never been to a disciplinarian before, but wants you to indoctrinate him. Assuming he has been properly polite and punctual, what is he in for?

First-time spankings are usually about finding out the difference between fantasy and reality. What it feels like to stand naked, anticipating discipline, how a hairbrush really feels when it hits the same spot over and over again...how great the headspace is afterward. There's a lot to absorb that first time, so to speak.
 
Do you have a favorite role-play scenario?

For someone who was pretty good at disrupting other students during class, I have soft spot for teacher/student scenes in which I get the chance to be the overbearing instructor.

What are your favorite implements to wield, and why?
 

Nothing can ever stand in for a hand spanking, in my opinion. Barring that, I prefer short-handled, close-contact weaponry. The cane is elegant, but doesn't come into play nearly as often as many folks simply detest it.
 
Have you ever met your match- that is, someone you just knew you couldn't make regret their desire to be punished no matter what you did? 

Not yet. But I love a challenge.

Any takers out there? 

My sincere thanks to you, Ms Kane, for your time and for the glimpse into your world.

Thanks for letting me participate!

Whacked so hard, the impact lifted him right off her lap... what could this poor lad have done to warrant such a wallop?  I'll leave that to your spanko-maginations...
