With Thanksgiving only a few days away, I am thinking of all my friends and my family and how truly thankful I am to have them supporting and caring about me.

Why do I love spanking so much? Well, because it is an activity with such variety and so many possibilities.... Here is an interesting perspective from the Taken In Hand site:

"So you can see that when a girl is spanked she experiences the thrill of anticipation, the thrill of placing herself, or being placed, over a dominating male’s lap, the thrill of having her skirt pulled up, the thrill of having her knickers pulled down, and the thrill of the actual slaps themselves. All this is delightfully erotic. It gets a girl roused magnificently. Meanwhile, the man gets the thrill of lifting a girl’s skirt, pulling down her knickers, seeing her bare bottom, and almost certainly gets a thrill of the actual slapping. He becomes aroused too. So we end up with an aroused man, and an aroused girl with her knickers down. The next step is inevitable..."

 Yes, certainly a possibility  :)

Heard this one again today...

If you'll be my soft and sweet
I'll be your strong and steady
You'll be my glass of wine
I'll be your shot of whiskey
You'll be my sunny day
I'll be your shade tree
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee

You'll be my Louisiana
I'll be your Mississippi
You'll be my little Loretta
I'll be your Conway Twitty
You'll be my sugar baby
I'll be your sweet iced tea
You'll be my honeysuckle
And I'll be your honey bee

I'll be your honey bee

As a Gentleman Dom I often use the "discussion style" of spanking.

You are naked, over my lap as I pat and stroke your bottom and our "conversation" begins. I ask the question, for example, why are you getting this spanking? And why did you choose to disobey?  Your answers are IMPORTANT. As your cheeksstart to glow I dig deep into your mind-  your very soul of misconduct is probed. As I uncover the thoughts you were trying to hide, I make note for future punishments.

The discussion continues, unrelenting.

If your answers are slow in coming the spanks are harder and faster. As your tears flow and you gasp out your replies any  thought of lying, deception or anything less than the full and complete truth is now unthinkable. 

And the conversation has reached a turning point,  with you, still over my lap, my hand rubbing your sore red cheeks and my fingers probing your openings, telling me how much you have benefited from your punishment. You have NO SECRETS from me. You feel a sense of FREEDOM.

And the discussion ends with your release...

A few random but meaningful quotes on your submission.

"To be submissive, a woman has to be okay with 
being uncertain. She has to let her guard down, peel off the mask
and look of ’steel’  and be free." ---  "When she panics, it's his voice that soothes her. When she is too afraid, it's his persistent gentleness that calms her. When she angers, it's his evenness that brings her back. He makes her feel the depths of her emotions."

Most subs say "I hate Corner Time!" And I give a small chuckle. Corner Time is a very important activity for a submissive woman. Standing in that Corner, be it before a spanking, waiting, that feeling in the pit of your stomach, wondering what is going to happen...or after you've been soundly spanked, with your sore tushy burning, and you want to rub it but you have to stand there with your hands on your head and your nose to the wall...

Well, these are 2 examples and there are many more, that demonstrate just how effective Corner Time is. It helps you learn how to be patient, how to focus yourself, how not to fidget and how to obey - doing something you "hate" because your Man commanded you to do it. That's why I believe in it wholeheartedly as a wonderful training method.
