I recently went to the chiropractor for the first time. I’ve struggled with neck and back pain for years now and I’ve finally reached the point that it’s too severe to put off any longer. During my assessment, the doctor asked about my workspace ergonomics. I sheepishly admitted that they are terrible as I don’t work at a proper desk and instead sit crunched up staring down at my laptop for way too many hours. What I didn’t tell him was that the positions I find myself in for the other aspect of my work is probably even worse!
The day after a shoot, the crunchy knots of muscles in my neck and shoulders often hurt worse than my bottom. I find going over the knee of a spanker seated in an armless chair to be the hardest position for me despite its classic appeal. A large portion of my weight is being supported on my hands, arms, and shoulders, especially if the chair is a high one. Add in those pretzel-like over the shoulder looks back and it’s no wonder my spine is all twisted up.
Perhaps my opinion is therefore being influenced by unusual pain issues, but I prefer OTK positions that allow for assisted support of the upper body such as on the bed or on a couch. I don’t mind being placed over a desk or the back of a sofa either. Just anything that doesn’t require me to hold that inverted V position that causes me incredible pain unrelated to the spanking I’m receiving.
I’ve received feedback from fellow spanking enthusiasts saying that having the spankee positioned on a couch or bed is being too nice and allows too much comfort. The comments go on to state that a difficult or uncomfortable position is part of the punishment itself.
I can definitely wrap my mind around this one and see how bending over to grab one’s knees and present the bottom for the paddle (hopefully without toppling over upon impact!) can be an aspect of the punishment, but I don’t think lying in a supported position versus seated OTK is necessarily taking it easy. When not being distracted by sore, tired upper body, there is nothing else to focus on but one’s hot, painful, spanked cheeks. Why not let the rest of the spankee’s body be in relative comfort while the bottom bears the brunt of the discipline?
So aesthetics aside and judging solely from the point of administering effective discipline, is the exact position key in your opinion?
August 20th, 2008 - 7:46 pm
Being ordered to go down the assembly line of determined spankers, bending over to touch my toes each time, is my idea of effective discipline…besides it doesn’t hurt my back or neck.
Just knowing that the spankers are enjoying themselves makes me enjoy the experience, too.
What’s better than one spanker? 10 spankers all in a row!
August 20th, 2008 - 8:12 pm
My preferred way to spank is OTK but I have no issue with allowing the person being punished to rest their upper body. All discussion of DD aside, this is supposed to be somewhat fun, isn’t it?
August 20th, 2008 - 8:16 pm
Glad to see you’ve finally made it to the chiropractor…better late than never! I think there’s nothing wrong with making the spankee comfortable (all things considered). Neck and back pain shouldn’t be part of the equation. Among other things, it makes it difficult to observe one’s bottom in the mirror (unless you use two!)
August 20th, 2008 - 8:38 pm
i like seeing the naughty lady being pulled over the knee, Chair or couch would be fine. bending over anything doesn`t have same appeal. Skotbee
August 20th, 2008 - 9:46 pm
I have problems in my hands and waist that does make it a bit difficult when being over the knee of someone seated in a chair. Where as I do like that old fashion position and the feel, I prefer to be spanked on a couch. I mean, otk on the couch is comfortable for everyone. Instead of an all out quick spanking, being comfortable and supported leads to a more drawn out spanking. The spankee can focus on the spanking and the spanker can focus on the task at hand while being comfortable himself.
August 20th, 2008 - 10:06 pm
Oh no! I always wondered about models having back pain and now the truth is out. Spankers are supposed to bust your butt not bust your back!
August 20th, 2008 - 10:24 pm
I have been seeing a chiropractor for years — I have scoliosis! And I am quite familiar with the back/neck aches after a shoot. I agree with you; way worse and longer lasting than any bottom discomfort.
OTK on a couch or bed is the absolute best. I can handle OTK in a chair, bracing myself by my arms, but not as long. And that bending over and holding position? Yeah, hold THIS, pal. Causing your spankee some mighty sting in the bottom, that’s fine. Not caring that your spankee is miserably uncomfortable, not good.
August 20th, 2008 - 10:31 pm
For erotic, my partner (f; I’m M) likes over-the-lap (she distinguishes between that and knee) for comfort, except for the obvious exceptional place, for intimacy, and also for excitement - especially what she feels when she’s up against me, if you catch the drift - plus what I can do with my hands in addition to spanking. We don’t do punishment, but we do tension relief sometimes with the long paddle. For that she prefers the standing ankle-grab. She says the rather uncomfortable stretching augments the wicked initial bite and nasty followup sting of the swats better than hands-on-knees does, although I think hands-on-knees is sexier, especially when she bends her knees slightly and looks straight ahead and slightly upward to give her little backside the upward tilt.

Hmmm… I like that reasoning. The focus on the pain that’s supposed to be there and not the pain from being in an uncomfortable position, that is. It is definitely more of a punishment if the position is awkward, but then I’m focused on how the blood is draining to my head and not why I am being punished. My favorite is OTK on a couch or something that’s not a chair. Intimate yet not insanely uncomfortable. Great topic!
August 21st, 2008 - 1:34 am
Hi,
Hmm THe postion of the spankee Dosn’t matter as much. As long as it fits in the sene.
Like a mother/Daugther. The daughter could be on the bed as long as you could see the stuffed animals. It don’t have to be OTK. The spanke’s postion should make them feel safe and the only pain they have should be in there backside
Thank you for asking

Honestly, I’ve given more spankings with my partner over my lap on a couch or bed than the “traditional” OTK with a chair. To be honest, as a top, its more comfortable for me as well.
August 21st, 2008 - 1:56 am
Pixie–
What works best for me–and whoever I’m fortunate enough to be spanking at the time–is for me to sit in the middle of the bed facing the foot of the bed, my back supported by the headboard. The spankee can go over my lap and can support her body using the width of the bed. Plus she can position any extra pillows around her for extra support and comfort. I usually tell her, “Get comfortable–you’re going to be here for a while.”
After all, a certain portion of her anatomy is about to be made very uncomfortable–no reason for the rest of her to suffer the same fate…..

Stress positions can be a nice addition to the sense of punishment but only if once removed from the position relief washes away the discomfort. This can hardly be achieved if the position causes the woman to be distracted by thoughts of making chiropractic appointments and dreading the sleepless nights with drumtight muscles. Letting the woman get into painful positions the spanker can’t relieve when needed takes part of the creation of her experience out of the spankers control. Perhaps spankers focus so intently on applying the main element of the spanking that we forget in great works it is often the supporting pieces that make the difference between the pedestrian and the astonishing.
So I say let the woman support her upperbody so that she can flail her legs freely and focus solely on the experience being created a bit to her rear. All the better to make the spanking memorable rather than a painful memory.
August 21st, 2008 - 3:50 am
Absoultely position is important. I think OTK is essential in a spanking. Of course in your case I would recommend a backrub from your bf after each spanking. And possibly one before.
August 21st, 2008 - 4:19 am
There is nothing wrong with making sure the only pain a spankee feels AFTER the spanking is in the intended area. Having to tense up to stay in position or straining which causes any type of chiropractor visits should be avoided if possible. Just as the effects of a spanking should be expected to be gone after a length of time so should muscle and back pain. When you have the type of ocupational hazard that you have Pixie you should make sure your existing situation is not added to in the future. My boyfriend has voluntered to give you a massage and back rub (like he does for me ..
but I’M not sure that is the best answer (lol) … and I don’t think your boyfriend would be crazy about that idea either. Maybe PB could provide an on-site massuese for you and the others as a provision of your “work”

I like OTK best, but I’m very aware of the extra burden it gives to the spankee. That’s why I’m so much in favor of quick, firm, OTK, bare bottom spankings. Just as they frequently happened in the past. Between one or two minutes of firm spanking and the lesson was taught.
They look more realistic than anything else and serve the purpose perfectly. And.. there’s hardly time to feel uncomfortable with the position.
All focuses on your (bare) bottom getting firmly spanked and before you know it, you’re on your feet again, rubbing your sore and red buttocks…
I believe that the “standard routines” that have become fashionable and the “rule” at most spanking sites is causing the aditional - unwanted - pains as Pixie is mentioning.
It’s too much of the same. Always the same pattern. The same approach,the same warming up, the same environment, the same etc.
Three minutes otk over pants or skirts, three minutes over the panties, three minutes on the bare, three minutes with implement one, three minutes with… etc etc.. It takes a lot of the sponteneity away and ‘kills’ the FUN or the REALISM of the spanking.
A brisk short spanking otk on a straight backed chair as a warning can be short enough to NOT impose the extra pains. It could be followed by a second spanking in a different (for example bend over) position, and yet another spanking, comfortably on a couch or bed. This one could be the longer and harder one as it is the apparently necessary third spanking to the naughty girl.
This would - budget wise - make not much difference, it would show more different scenes ad different positions in different environments.
The lighting and equipment needs to be moved, yes, but as you normally work with more models you could do more scenes in the same environemnt before moving the equipment. Area A, followed by scenes in area B and finally in area C for example. In the final montage you put the three areas and the one model back together again and it looks like one model gets three different spankings.
To me this would offer more quality, more challenge, more positions and therefore even more appealing spanking videos.
The above is not meant as criticism. It’s just a suggestion from a member who loves PB since it’s beginning..
PS: I will send you a seperate email, Pixie about a treatment that will cure all your neck and shoulder problems at very low costs.
August 21st, 2008 - 5:29 am
Neck pain bad. Chiropractor good. Horrible car accident, been seeing one for years. Hope you have a good one, and feel better soon!
I prefer the standing, palms in the chair position Lady D used so frequently on RealSpankings. Is that okay Erica? :)p Can you hold the chair? :)p
Oh, what about being strapped face down on the adjustment table, or one of the therapy tables? That would be a fun place to borrow after hours.
August 21st, 2008 - 5:31 am

I think I’m with you when it comes to giving spankings in comfort.
as well as for the spanker), but having your body resting comfortably must make it a lot easier for you to concentrate on the matter in hand, so to speak.
OTK with the chair may well result in your bottom being better positioned (for those viewing
If a couch or sofa looks out of place in a ’schoolroom’ setting, maybe you could try using a long wooden form or bench seat.
August 21st, 2008 - 12:34 pm
This thread made me think that we need to bring back a modified telephone table/chair. For those of you who can’t remember when telephones were hardwired with a quarter inch cable, a telephone table/chair (sofa) was a small table with an attached chair usually in the hall or foyer of a home but in any case centrally located. The table held the phone and directories as well as providing a writing surface. The seat provided a place to sit while making calls.
An example can be found at this ebay site
One without the armrest would be perfect for over the knee spanking and the drawer would permit keeping all the paddles and brushes organized along with a box of tissues. Now you only have figure out how to explain the tear stains upon the finish.
August 21st, 2008 - 1:53 pm
while I think that being otk in a armless chair is my preferred method of being spanked, I’m a classic kinda guy, the sofa or bed is extremely comfy and should not be overlooked, hey it takes 2 to tango right?
August 21st, 2008 - 1:55 pm
To Redchief — yes, dear man, I can do the palms on chair position. Dr. D put me in that exact position. Of course, I then called him Dr. Dumbass.
August 21st, 2008 - 3:15 pm
Please be careful with chiropractic on your cervical spine: it can go horribly pear-shaped.
August 21st, 2008 - 4:56 pm
Personally, I would STRONGLY disagree with the idea that an uncomfortable position enhances the spanking experience — from either the spanker or spankee point of view. I get the logic of those who do feel that way, but for me it’s just antithetical to what a firm-but-caring disciplinary spanking should be.
I most prefer having the spanker sitting in the middle of a sofa, so that both the spankee’s legs and upper body are fully and comfortably supported. ALL discomfort should localized to the bottom, and result only from the spanking itself. The spankee should be able to focus entirely on that sensation, as well as any thoughts and feelings related to why she’s being spanked, and the emotional impact of the experience itself. She should not be distracted by other stresses and strains on her body, and should NEVER have to worry about falling onto the floor if she loses grip! Except for her endangered bottom, she should feel completely safe — physically, mentally, emotionally.
Also, when the spanking is done, I really like to have the spankee stay in the OTK position, cry and be comforted (rubbing back, soothing words of forgiveness and reassurance) for as long as she likes. If the position is uncomfortable, she’s not going to want to do that, and that part of the experience would be lost.
(I’ve just been using the pronoun “she” to refer to the spankee, simply for brevity’s sake. However, if I were being spanked OTK I would prefer the same approach.)
I know my spanking preferences tend to be more “warm-fuzzy” than what many others prefer, and of course I’m not knocking other people’s tastes. I’m just saying what works best for me.
Thank you AGAIN, Pix, for another excellent, thought-provoking post!!

Just a suggestion: Chiropractors can be very helpful, but you may have the beginning stages of ankylosing spondylitis or some other inflammatory process happening in your spine. A visit to a good rheumatologist might help you avoid unnecessary pain and deterioration in this area.
August 21st, 2008 - 5:31 pm
To Erica- Do you now agree that he is indeed NOT Dr. Dumbass? Or do you need another case of redass to make the lesson stick?
August 21st, 2008 - 6:06 pm
Having grown up in an environment that was harsh and brutal, I associate “traditional” OTK with (other people’s) familial discipline – discipline that leaves the bottom hot and smarting, but is still based in love and caring. I’ve never viewed so-called “spanking” scenes where the girl is strung up, strapped down, twisted/contorted into, or forced to assume otherwise awkward positions as “loving” in any way. I expect to see a spanking, not the Spanish Inquisition (no one *ever* expects the Spanish Inquisition!). There are plenty of times in real life where adhering strictly to the inverted V position is impractical, but one can come pretty close while still permitting the person with the upturned naughty bottom to experience discomfort only where you (and nature) intended.
August 21st, 2008 - 6:48 pm
shameless plug…you can see a physical therapist for back and neck pain too…just like chiro’s there are good ones and bad so do some research, get some references…
I must say I found this post reassuring…everytime I find myself “over-the-knee” on a chair, I find myself wondering how you gals do it! my shoulders can’t take the weight, and like Chloe…the blood goes rushing to my head! I’m a big fan of the position, or pehaps the IDEA of the position, but in actuality not so much.
I have seen some vids where the booty ends up over the back knee and the lap supports more of the upper body, but we can’t seem to figure that one out…I think that makes it to hard for him to spank…so sad…lol…We need an instruction manual!
HUGS and thanks!

I think that having you completely horizontal over the other person’s lap is okay (like if he or she is sitting on the center of a bed or something). Some of your scenes don’t quite look right to me, because they have you over a couch or chair with big arms that have your head up so high that you’re almost standing. “Special Delivery” worked very well for me, “To Do List” I was less crazy about.
The best part for me is when the spanking makes a stoic young lady break down, and being in a position with her weight on her hands and arms makes it that much more difficult for her to maintain her composure.
Not that I want you to be uncomfortable, but then again I do pay money to see your discomfort, so maybe I shouldn’t say that (:-).
August 21st, 2008 - 11:05 pm
Staying over at my best friend’s house one weekend (we were 11), we sneaked down the stairs and peeked as his mother gave his older (16) sister a thorough bare-bottom hand spanking. She lay over her mother’s lap, with her legs outstretched and kicking on the floor behind her, while her head and shoulders were over the arm of the couch. Pinned there, her arms hanging on the other side of the armrest, she could not reach back to protect or cover her bottom until her mother had finished. She was then set back on her knees and, furiously rubbing her flaming bottom, she was subjected to her mother’s follow-up scolding and lecture from about the eyelevel of a five-year old. My friend explained that both older girls had gotten too big to be put over his Mom’s lap the “regular way,” but she wasn’t about to let them think that meant they were too big for a spanking.
PB has done quite a number of very enjoyable but non-traditional scenes that came off quite well IMHO, not just because the actors did a good job, but also because Eric’s camera angles added interesting perspectives. While I certainly enjoy a “traditional” OTK scene using an armless chair and am all for their continuance, I also like the variety of such scenes as Aunt Susan, Rent-a-Mom 2, and The Belt, to name just a few. And why limit a scene employing a bed to either OTK or a standing Top; the Top could just as easily sit, wrap their arm around the girl’s waist as she lies with legs off the side of the bed, and paddle her bare bottom crimson. If the PB kitchen had a pass-thru, I’d even like to see a naughty brat hoisted onto the counter and given a dose of the spoon/spatula/etc. (been there, done that but I recommend a thick towel between hips and counter’s edge). Whatever the furniture, the last thing I’d ever want to see, Pixie, is your career shortened by chronic pain.
August 22nd, 2008 - 12:50 pm
Ouch! My sympathies - I have back problems myself and have always admired your ability to do that over-the-neck posture, since I find it so hard myself - and now I discover that you find it just as painful my admiration is only increased
I think there’s a reasonable limit to the amount you should strain yourself during a shoot. Obviously modelling is hard work, physically, and if your muscles aren’t tired the day after a shoot then you probably aren’t doing it right. But don’t push your body beyond its limits. A workout is one thing - long-lasting damage is quite another. Sounds like you’re familiar with your body’s limits, and I think it’s worth respecting them. Your fans may prefer postures you find difficult, but they’d be much sorrier if you injured yourself and couldn’t work any more!
August 22nd, 2008 - 6:02 pm
While there is an aesthetically appealing component to seeing a girls buns-up over a knee in the inverted v, I would say that’s a small benefit to exchange for back pain. Go for the sofa. (Although I do prefer over the lap rather than bent over the arm of the sofa)

Pixie, your health should be the primary concern for all of us.
You should do what ever is necessary to restore your muscles and
spine to proper health first. Consider our erotic preferences
only as a secondary concern.
But if you were trying to please the doms & dommes in the audience,
your different posture choices could provide vastly different messages
and stimulation to we voyeurs. Over the lap, perhaps lying across
knees with your bottom up and centered is an immensely personal and
erotic position for the spanker and the voyeur. It is so considerate
of the spanker to alleviate weight at the legs and torso while
causing such immense pain in the middle, no? And as Anon VII pointed
out, the spanker is in a position to explore so much with their
hands, as well as inflict slaps. But the sub is in a much less
helpless position over the lap, and the viewer must be aware of
this, if only subliminally. In terms of judo positions, with a
slight twist of the torso and abdominal flex, and the sub could
be “in control” of the sitting top, reversing roles … so the
over the lap position is not as weak as it appears.
The weaker position for the sub, in terms of judo control, seems
to me to be over the knee, spanked or paddled with the top in
a chair. When the bottom has toes barely touching the floor, and
arms extended with hands supporting the torso, balanced precariously
with the crotch and weight centered over the top’s knees. There’s no easy
reversal here, and with panties calf-level or below, it’s a vision
of implied bondage, too. No easy reversal here … the bottom is
going to take everything the top wants to give. The torso/legs
angle is greater here, too, than over-the-lap, so rear camera angle
is presented with an even better view of the action and consequences,
as matters heat up and colors change. Extended seconds of this view
is perhaps one of the most exciting moments your videos can provide
a viewer. Seeing Michelle P. or Clare F. deal with the errant Pixie
in this position with a hairbrush or bathbrush or, soon, we hope,
a ping-pong paddle, is a sublime tantric experience.
August 23rd, 2008 - 12:35 am
Dani – I’ve fantasized about going through the human spanking machine where a line of spankers take turns swatting the spankee as he or she passes by each person. No toe touches required in my fantasy!
Radagast – Fun is a big factor in my book. For some enthusiasts though it is only about exacting discipline and even maximizing discomfort beyond the bottom. Personally that’s when a spanking starts losing its appeal to me, but we’re all different.
Paul – I am soooo happy that I finally made the call to the chiropractor. I am already looking forward to my next appointment because the relief is so amazing. He looks like a magician with his bald head and handlebar moustache. And with the wonderful improvement I feel already, I think his appearance may not be a coincidence.
Skotbee – I think the majority of spanking enthusiasts would agree with you as OTK is often called the classic position. I like OTK the most as well (except for the back pain) but being bent over a desk for a schoolgirl scene pushes my buttons too.
Kat – I think the couch offers the most support and comfort not only for the spankee but the spanker too as you mentioned. The spankee can have his or her upper body supported on the cushions and the spanker can have his or her back supported by the seatback. And when you add in the close contact too, you have the best of all worlds.
2Good – Yup. Veronica often jokes that she wants free botox because we are always making her play the scowling disciplinarian and I say that a licensed massage therapist should be on staff for all shoots. If we were Hollywood starlets, we’d have some rider!
Erica – You hit the nail on the head. I equate spanking with caring (even when it’s very firm discipline) and misery isn’t a sign of that.
A7 – I can reach my ankles or even put my hands on the floor, but remain balanced while getting paddled? That I can’t always promise! Major props to your partner for her balance skills as well as her pain tolerance.
Chloe – Darn. I guess I’m going to have to scratch that idea of having you spanked while doing a handstand in the next shoot.
Larry – OTK seems to be pretty much the standard, but it’s good to know that not everyone is firmly tied to one position or another. I think a little variety is good.
Fireman Chris – That’s very good. It’s not just about the bottom, but the spanker too. To paraphrase, if the spanker ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
Dr. Ken - “Get comfortable–you’re going to be here for a while.” Shivers!! I’d grab a pillow and hold on tight.
Nikolai – Pain from a spanking = hot. Permanent or even semi-permanent pain requiring a doctor and a good insurance plan = not so hot. And excellent point about allowing the woman to kick and flail if properly supported. That can be a big part of the fun and excitement as well as communicating just how effective the spanking is.
007 – My bf is usually very good about giving me a backrub when I get home from a shoot. But sometimes he’s working and that only leaves Peanut and Misha to pitch in. Peanut only wants me to rub her back and Misha wants to sit on my butt which really doesn’t help matters.
Linde – Woot! Move over Peanut and Misha. I think I’ve found a solution.
Funbun – Thank you for your feedback regarding how we shoot, but as I’ve written to you before there are reasons we have and will continue to film in the manner that we do. I don’t believe that things are quite as regimented as you described them, or at least we’ve begun to make that fact more apparent recently.
Unfortunately right now even a quick two minute OTK spanking is very painful. That doesn’t mean I won’t do it, but if I can mix it up a little until I’m realigned, that would be great.
Redchief – He’s been wonderful so far. Very patient and takes a lot of time to assess how I’m doing and answer any questions. I do find myself getting a little embarrassed when he tells me to lie face down though as I’m thinking how many times I’ve heard that in a very different situation.
Tim - I’m hopeful too. It’s estimated that in a month’s time I should feel a world of difference. I can’t wait. Even just the past couple of adjustments have brought some welcome relief.
Nikolai – Oh that’s quite nice! And no bids yet … hmmmm. Sadly, the paddles I have, the foyer I do not.
Johnny – Yup. Two to tango, and generally two to spank-o.
Al – My fear is part of why I avoided doing anything about it this long. I’ve tried massage and physical therapy with no results. I seem to be in good hands now. I hope that remains true!
Jeff – Fearing falling off the lap is a common concern. Poor Juliet received a spanking on a high stool one time and it was probably one of the toughest scenes not only for her but for Veronica as well who had to try to keep a kicking girl securely in place with one hand while spanking with the other. It was done because it fit the scene and for the visual impact. To date we haven’t tried it again because sometimes what’s aesthetically pleasing in a fantasy scene isn’t so great for the real life people.
I don’t see anything wrong with the warm-fuzzy aspect in my opinion just as long as the spanking is kept real. I like strict discipline, but with caring behind it.
Orville – Love the name!! I will definitely keep that in mind though my symptoms are all in my upper back and neck, not my lower back. If my symptom relief suddenly stalls, I will make sure to get a second opinion. I do not want end up in chronic pain or with limited mobility if I don’t have to.
Anonymous – Being strung up or strapped down does project a very different feeling than a traditional domestic position, doesn’t it? While we occasionally receive a request for girls to be suspended from the ceiling or strapped to an object, we’re more than likely not going to go down that path. Traditional inverted Vs and modified versions are more our speed.
Sarah – Yeah, we’re there with our arms shaking, shoulders knotted, and faces redder than our bottoms just like everyone else!
Lying with the upper body over the lap and the backside off the side of one knee I think makes it harder on the spanker’s shoulder after a while. I can’t be 100% sure as I’m not a spanker, but that’s what I’ve heard. It’s a shame we can’t be miniaturized for the duration of our spanking to allow us to lie on the spanker’s lap fully supported and safe, legs free to kick, with our bottoms in prime position to be dealt with.
Mo – I didn’t realize there was a major difference between the two scenes, but since I cringe to watch any content that I’m in, I’ll take your word for it rather than check myself! We at times tend to implore the use of a couch or chair’s large arm not only to help support the girl, but to encourage her to keep her head up. Nothing is more frustrating to me than to miss out on great facial reactions because the girl is allowing her head to hang low, away from the camera, and often get completely hidden behind long hair. It’s tough on the neck and not really that natural to try to crane upwards in that true inverted V variation of OTK so we’ll try to find ways of keeping the girl somewhat higher. (More comfortable and results in less nagging from us saying “look up, look up, look up.”
^Mike – Oh my goodness! That must have been quite a scene to witness and no doubt made a big impression on you.
I hope to continue to get a little creative with positions. In a relatively recent update, Beverly and I had to kneel on the ground and support our upper bodies on an ottoman as Veronica smacked our bottoms alternately. Probably a little far fetched for how a scenario would turn out in real life, but in spanking vids, you have to use a little artistic license. If we wanted to be totally true to life, the spanking probably wouldn’t have happened at all and we would have been grounded!
Pandora – I never would have guessed that you have back problems as well. You always look so lithe and graceful. You must truly give your all to your scenes and photos!
Mark – Maybe I’ll take a breather from the true inverted V for the next shoot and by the time the following rolls around, I’ll be in better condition to go for the traditional position if it’s called for. I’d hate to forgo it altogether.
Stevie – So many nuances to even just one apparent position of OTK.
One danger I think of what you termed as the weaker position for the sub is high flying kicks a la Chloe Elise. With her long legs, she has the ability to easily send kicks to the head of even the most determined spanker and if we were to have her positioned so that her toes were already off the floor, the spanker best wear a catcher’s mask. LOL!!!

I’m a little taller than most, so I’ve learned to appreciate the well padded backs and arms of couches, depending on how high. I’ve even been given the courtesy of choosing. Putting your weight there allows you to grip the edge of the cushion while firmly planting your elbows.
The real blessing is in being able to curl your knees a bit, to take pressure off the lower legs. After all, you’re going to be there for three or four minutes. Also, a bit Victorian, I do try to keep my ankles crossed, for the first three or four . . . modesty.
And I do kick, up and down, not at the spanker. Limber joints and burning buns, aaah, ouuu, waaa . . . .

The focus during a spanking should be on the sensation/pain felt on the bottom. The spankee shouldn’t be thinking of her neck, or how to stay balanced… etc-etc. Not that only one position will work. Most will work just fine… so long as it’s a short spanking. But for those longer sessions… a comfortable position should be picked.
We prefer an over the lap position… where the spankee’s feet and head are at the same level and are supported (by a couch/bed)… and her bottom is over the spanker’s lap.

I agree!
I think it’s a good thing to be in comfortable postition, so both the “Spanker & Spankee” can focus on the main objective, and that is “The Spanking”.

I would never want your back to be in pain during a spanking! Your backside is where I want all of your attention focused! Your a Sweetheart! Know that?

A little late (again) but…I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing pain and discomfort…and not the kind you desire either. I hope the situation doesn’t progress and become even more uncomfortable for you. Truth is, I’d hate to never again see you kicking and fussing over a spanker’s lap. I’m certain that most folks who know and love you feel the same way. There’s only one Pixie, and I hope she’ll be around to take many many more bare bottom spankings in the future. Here’s a warm hug, in the hopes that it helps

Hey Pixie, Try Alexander techniques, it’ll work out all the kinks (no pun intended) In your back, and give you proper ways to stand, sit, and lay, in any position.
Actors use it a lot so that they can play crippled, or hunched characters, without hurting their backs. They offer classes all over, I know some great places in LA, Let me know if you need a referral

Pixie, first of all let me say how much I admire your acting out in the scenes. You seem to be a natural for this and it makes such a difference.
Surely the problems you have had shouldn’t be part of the punishment? It’s your bottom that is supposed to hurt, right? So I see nothing wrong in making the spankee comfortable. Also, lying face down on the bed and having a good taste of a leather belt is not a bad option, either…
Take care,
