Round Numbers

Just a quick post to say I noticed today that I've had 50,000 hits to this main page alone, since I started counting in June. So thanks, everyone, for all your visits. I honestly never thought the blog could do so well.

I suppose properly I ought to wait until 100,000 to celebrate, but you know, any excuse for a party.

Now imagine if I got a couple more followers to make that up to 50. That'd present a nice symmetry, don't you think? Come on now, don't be shy! I had thought about offering a prize to the 50th follower. But then nobody would want to be number 49. :)

Do I Really Believe In This Stuff?

We all know that not everything on the web is what it seems. Boys pretend to be girls. Girls pretend to be boys. Some of them probably blog about spanking partners that don't, strictly speaking, exist. And you know what? I think that's cool. Fantasy is what I do.

But I don't want to mislead anybody here. While 'Underling' inhabits a universe ruled by paddle-happy women, his real world alter ego - yours truly - has a more mundane existence. God knows I love to spend an hour or two bare bottom up over a female lap, and I'm no stranger to the slipper, strap and cane. I'm a card carrying, bona fide F/M discipline addict and I've had the bruises and welts to prove it. Yet I'm not in a regular DD relationship, and I don't think I want to be. Although I salute those of you who are, and who are making it work, I'd guess - and this is purely a personal thing - that I'd last maybe a day in that kind of situation before getting stroppy and saying it wasn't funny any more.

Nor am I actually pushing any kind of political or social agenda. While I'm genuinely fascinated by the themes depicted in my artwork and writing, I hope it's no surprise that I don't really think men should be routinely stripped or spanked without their consent - not in real life. Believe it or not, I'm an equality-loving, abuse-hating, 'normal' kind of guy who happens to find the idea of a female-dominant society incredibly erotic. And I hope, whether you're male or female, gay or straight or bi, tranvestite, transgender,living the dream or happy with the dream itself, that the material I share here pushes your buttons in the same way as it does mine. That really is the only connection I ask, and it's what this blog lives for.

So, on to the results of last week's poll which asked which spanking pairings were of interest to you. More than two hundred of you took part, for which I'm very grateful. Sadly, but as predicted, only a small minority of those were ladies - but on the bright side, I still had more female participants than I'd expected. I'm assuming that all of you 'special girls' with cocks under your frocks - yes, I see you lurking over there in the 'Followers' section! - voted according to your physical appendages rather than the content of your wardrobes. ;)

Overall I was quite surprised by how F/M-biased most of the readership is. While there's certainly some interest in other pairings - especially where the dominant party is still a woman - I'd have guessed tastes would be more wide ranging than they actually are. One thing that's abundantly clear is that (unlike me) very few of you are fans of mano y mano discipline. It'd be interesting to see what the results would be if a similar poll was run on an M/F site, or better still a gender neutral one. Perhaps if you own such a site you'd like to oblige!

By the way, one of the reasons I ran the poll was that I've been thinking about doing a little artwork featuring female spankees. It won't appear on this site - that would be sacrilege :) - but if I do, I'll let you know where to find it!

Questions, Questions, Questions

Two posts in two days. Almost like a real blog!

I don't want to distract you from voting in yesterday's polls (over on the right), so please do keep doing that. The figures are shaping up to be very interesting already. But I did want to refer you to an interview that Carmenica Diaz were kind enough to do with me recently. For anyone who's curious to learn a bit more about my artwork, you might find it interesting.

Please do take the time to browse the site and say hello to the owner while you're there.

The interview is right here.

Enjoy!

Boys Who Beat Girls who Beat Girls Who Beat Boys

Now I know you lot are into F/M spanking, otherwise you wouldn't be here - unless you've accidently stumbled across this site while looking for something completely unrelated, in which case I can only apologise and suggest you keep hitting the 'back' button until you make it to safety.

Still there? Good. OK, what I'm really curious to know is which other dominant/ submissive pairings you like, and how they reflect your own gender (if at all). So it's poll time!

Please pick all the options that apply to you. I'm not asking about any relationship you currently have - rather, which couplings push your buttons.

I have a feeling the polls will show that the vast majority of visitors are male, but beyond that - who knows?

I'll kick things off to break the ice. I'm male, and although F/M is my first love I enjoy all the other pairings too.

The polls are there on the right. Over to you!

Table Service

Conversation had ceased among the diners at the 'Queen Bee'. Even those patrons who had missed the spilling of the wine, and the outraged protest of Emmeline Hathaway - the restaurant's most prestigious client - had finally been distracted by the unmistakeable sound of a spanking in progress, and thence by the astonishing sight of its half-naked and cringing recipient.

It was only Tony Mendez's second week as a waiter, but already he had earned a reputation for clumsiness and a number of very public tongue lashings from head waitress Julia Mills. This latest incident - especially since it involved such a well known and highly valued customer - had stretched her patience to breaking point. Within moments the young man had found himself stripped of his apron, trousers and underpants and ordered to face the table with his elbows clasped behind his back.

Julia spanked hard and without pause, raising her voice over the sound of the slaps so that she could be heard at every table.

"I'm afraid we're just beginning, Anthony. We're going to get this bottom at least to the colour of the expensive claret you managed to throw over Miss Hathaway's dress - both of which, of course, you'll be paying for out of this month's wages. When we're done here - and we won't be until Miss Hathaway says so - you can spend the rest of the night washing up where you can do less damage. I'm going to stand you in front of the sink exactly as you are now, and I'll have a wooden spoon to hand in case I think you're not being careful enough."

At a nearby table, Helen O'Leary watched the proceedings with an approving smirk. "This reminds me, Peter," she said to her fidgeting companion. "Did you clean up the house today as I asked? Or is another naughty boy going to be having his bare bottom warmed when we get back?"

Peter O'Leary squirmed in his seat. He had been about to ask for the bill, but suddenly he was in no hurry. He had little appetite for the dessert awaiting him at home.
