I’ve always been a quiet girl by nature – shy, reserved, constantly reminded to speak up in class (though I could shriek my head off while playing with my friends on the playground). And when I first engaged in adult spanking play, I was just as quiet. Sure, I’d make bratty wise cracks and if I received an emotionally charged true discipline spanking, I’d even cry, but I wasn’t really a screamer or a kicker. I was too inhibited to make much noise and in some of the discipline sessions I’d received, my punishments would be increased if I struggled so I learned to control that to the point of being almost motionless.
When I decided to try my hand … errr bottom at being a spanking model, I worried that my lack of reaction would be a problem. If I felt inhibited in front of just the one person spanking me, imagine how I’d be in front of the spanker, a few cameras, other models, the crew, and the eventual online audience. Most spanking models I’d seen were highly reactive; screaming, thrashing, even cursing, but that just wasn’t me. But one girl I found that was more my style was Jennifer of Real Spankings. She had an amazing pain tolerance and could take an incredible spanking and while barely making a peep. Like me though, when her limits were pushed, tears would flow. Since she was a very popular model despite her quiet demeanor, she gave me the little bit of confidence I needed that maybe I’d be acceptable too.
It took a while, but over time I became more at ease with being spanked (on screen or off). I realized my yelps and squirming are desirable for a good scene. Slowly my natural reactions began to surface knowing that I was being spanked in a safe manner and that nothing bad would happen for making noise. I’m still not a summon-the-police style screamer, but I’d say compared to what I used to be, I’m pretty darn demonstrative these days.
Some of the girls that we’ve worked with at PB are naturally reactive like Sarah Gregory or Sarah Jane Ceylon (maybe it’s something to do with the name!!) and some are more reserved. Often the girls that are very quiet the first time we work with them come out of their shell by the second. I think it can all be such an overwhelming experience the first time around that inhibitions run high. It’s not that the girls aren’t feeling their spankings, as occasionally they will call a stop to the scene early because they are at their limits even when they haven’t cried out or flailed much.
Based on member feedback, there are fans of both the major reactions and the quieter squeaks of distress. Although we do encourage the girls we work with to kick, reach back, yell, and whatever else might come naturally to them, it’s good to know there are fans of both large and small reactions. While I certainly enjoy a dynamic scene complete with lots of genuine fussing and reasonable distress, I will always have a soft spot and great admiration for Jennifer who took her spankings so stoically.

WOw PIxie,
I didn’t know that about you.
Pernaly I like screaming and fussing. But the best is tears.
Even if the girl in question just bites her lip and cries tears are best.
Good Night PIxie

I for one also much prefer a few spontaneous yelps, whimpers and “OW!”s — perhaps followed by some quiet sobbing — to full-scale screaming. A bit of symbolic struggling (kicking, banging fists on the chair legs / sofa / mattress) is nice, but real, physical resistance is also a turn-off for me. I don’t like it when the spankee is actually trying to get away, and the spanker has to make a real effort to restrain. The best scenes for me involve an atmosphere of reluctant acceptance: The spankee doesn’t actually want to be spanked, but either knows deep down that she deserves it, or at the very least knows that struggling will only make the end result worse for her already-suffering bottom!
Also, you mentioned cursing, and made me realize how much I dislike “bad language” from anyone — spanker or spankee — in spanking scenes. While I’m otherwise no prude, one of the major reasons I love PB so much is its overall wholesome tone.
Another great, thought-provoking entry, Pix! As always, keep up the awesome work!

Pixie–
Big reaction, small reaction–doesn’t matter to me as long as there is SOME reaction. My worst spanking experiences have come from playing with someone who winds up being a total stoic–not a sound, not a movement. I enjoy the reactions–they’re fun to watch in a video, and in a real spanking situation it helps me gauge how the spanking is going.
If a spanking with no reaction whatsoever made me happy, I could go out into my apartment building’s parking lot and whack a Buick….

Chalk my up as a “reaction” person. When I was exploring this spanking thing when all I could do was watch videos or look at magazines, I always loved the actors with good reactions and great facial expressions. Kiri Kelly was one of those actors - loved her. Pixie, you’re in the same category, IMHO.
There’s nothing like a facial expression, especially in a still photo, that says, “I’m being punished and this doesn’t feel that great”.
August 15th, 2008 - 7:15 am
great post pixie the girls at pb take theirspanks in different ways that is why we enjoy seeing the cuties love from tim
August 15th, 2008 - 9:57 am
I absolutely love reactions! Towards the end of the spanking when the fervent “I’m sorry”s are flowing really conveys how effective the spanking was. My favorite has to be reaching back, as it just seems so natural to want to protect yourself from pain. A good chase is also a nice touch.
August 15th, 2008 - 10:44 am
Speaking as someone usually on the receiving end of things, I have to admit to being quite stoic myself. I don’t really enjoy watching girls who fuss a lot, though some whimpering and kicking is always nice to see. Too much of it makes me think someone is faking it, which is a big turn-off. Unless the spanking is severe of course, in which case those poor girls can react as much as they like because it’s justified
I also think being quiet while being spanked has something to do with being new to things, or not knowing the person who’s doing the spanking very well. If I feel comfortable with the top, I start reacting. But on the other hand, “pride” sometimes stops me from reacting too much as well, as if to say, ‘Hmpf, it’s not hurting anyway, you know…’ while you both *know* it definitely IS hurting…
Interesting topic, especially because I’m considering trying my hand at being a spanking model myself
August 15th, 2008 - 10:50 am
Really makes no difference what the reaction is… so long as it feels natrual. If it’s a total act, it totally doesn’t work. Have to say though that your best reaction is the look you can give! You are a quiet girl with a very kind and easy manner. You… well… look like a harmless Pixie! But when you flash that look, lol… it’s like… oh, she DOES have some dagger in there!

I do like reactions but they have to be genuine.
When I see a spanking model trying to control their natural response to physically react, I do tend to feel a sense of increased respect towards the model for such self control.
As for for verbal reactions, let rip, I love giving out a damn good AAARG! myself if the spanker has earned it from their skill of application.

Dear Pixie,
Just a simple note: thank you for being such a good friend to us. Believe me, people recognize goodness when they see it–that’s why they write to you!
With LOVE

Whacking a Buick might actually elicit more of a response (car alarm) than is allowed by some models I’ve seen. Personally, I think stoicism negates the submissive aspect of spanking itself. It’s rather like taking a beating from someone you don’t respect, then flipping them off as you leave the room. Waste of everyone’s time. Still, it’s quite understandable that a model would be inhibited, especially early on. I have a video wherein one girl really lets herself wail and cries like a baby, but you can see the other two models against the wall in the background exchange looks, snicker, and stare, unaware they’re on camera.
Growing up, we probably all knew of some kids who seemed to instinctively know how to fake their way through a spanking, thus giving their parents “more” while getting less themselves. For any actor, there’s always a fine line between acting (faking done very well) and real reactions; it’s part of professional development to know which is most appropriate where. Unfortunately or fortunately, there are no Spanking Models Acting Schools to help models get over their inhibitions and become convincing spankees, thus each is left to sort out for themselves how to relax back into their own skin. You, Pixie, are a true professional, and I’m glad to have happened upon you when you’d become the joy to behold that you are today.
August 15th, 2008 - 12:17 pm
I love GENUINE reactions. Struggling, kicking, crying, yelling, tears… As long as it looks REAL it’s GREAT.
I love spankings when they are given as they were in the 50/60ties.
A naughty girl is pushed by an angry mom or aunt to a chair where she is uncermoniously plonked over the knee. Her skirt if pulled up, her panties are down and Whack! Smack! Whack! Smack..!! Left Right Left Right
She yells and begs and screams and turns and twist, but mom is relentless and gives her a darn good, well-earned spanking.
All of this happens in one or two minutes of firm non-stop spanking.
Such scenes do it for me, but you seldom see them. Even better when there is a sister who’s next and witnessing the scene with a frightened look on her face.
A similar spanking follows and after a while in the corner mom cuddles and pampers her naughty daughters, showing that she loves them dearly.
The movie closes with the girls (in pyjamas, but with their pyjama pants down) having each other over the knee to apply some soothing cream to the well-reddened buttocks.
But I’m aware that I’m only one of the many members with my very own fantasies.
In summary, the more genuine the spanking looks the better it is. And that counts for everything…!
Reason, clothing, environment, ages, straight backed chair, firm smacks right from the beginning, on the bare, etc etc…
Hope other members like this as well, so that we can ask PB to provide us with such a video..

nice to see charlie in the latest video she istoo lovely to spank almost what a darling . iagree with funbun love to you pixie from tim
August 15th, 2008 - 1:28 pm
Funbun,
Not me personally, I love a good old fashioned M/F spanking any day of the week!! The more M/F there is the happier I am.
Like yourself though, I am only one of 1000’s of Punishedbrats members so therefore I understand that they do what is best for the company. I would love to detail my favorite scene word by word, but to be honest, that is for me to act out on my own time.
The overall product of PB suits my taste perfectly, I just bide my time waiting for the ‘better’ scenes that come closer to my personal likes.
Richard Windsor.
August 15th, 2008 - 2:14 pm
I agree with T & S about your “daggers” look. I wrote a blog once about “signature expressions” (mine’s a smirk) and I said something like, “Pixie has the best ‘drop dead, you bastard’ look of anyone in the scene.”
I love it.
As in all other aspects of spanking videos, reaction preferences are individual and varied. Me, I like to see a fair amount of reaction. It doesn’t have to be wild kicking and flailing, but I like to see a bodily response to the strikes — a jerk, a twitch, facial expressions, etc. Stoicism may be a self-protective mechanism, but it’s not as exciting to watch.
Plus, if the model is still and goes within, doesn’t fuss or react, then the spanker tends to look like a brute, and that’s exactly what you don’t want.
August 15th, 2008 - 2:37 pm
Another great topic!!! I have to agree with Funbun. What is happening needs to feel real with real reactions to what is happening on screen. The conversation needs to flow smoothly and the spanking needs to feel justified and appropriate to the situation. I’m not a spanking model although I have thought much about it, but I do enjoy what is termed topping from the bottom. I have increased my individual tolerance and find that I can not only take, but DESIRE a more serious and intense spanking and I have a wonderful man who is able to READ my body language. When I squirm or kick it is real and a reaction to what the spanker is doing. In a movie it can be intense or mild as long as it is portrayed realistically.

Much like Jeff, I’m not a fan of true resistance, swearing, or loud screaming. In video, such a spanking becomes more of a “beat down,” and in RL it seems more like I’m committing an unwelcome assault. For me, the most interesting spankings are the familial/domestic discipline kind, where the spankee has at least submitted to the point of going OTK and, finding themselves forced to endure it, yields to their physical and emotional distress. That translates, depending upon the severity and duration of the spanking, to a certain amount of kicking, yelping/whimpering and, hopefully, crying. But, as many have already said, whatever the reaction it must at least seem genuine, or it becomes a turn-off.
August 15th, 2008 - 4:17 pm
I like seeing more reactions, seeing the spanking actually get to the young ladies. I think it’s important that she not be able to stay composed. In my experience what girls hate the most is the humiliation of losing their composure, and letting the adult know that he/or she is really getting to them. I would like to see more scenes with teasing from the other brats.
August 16th, 2008 - 3:40 am
I think a person being spanked should show his/her natural reaction; It’s not good if he/she deliberately shows a false reaction: the spectators will see this (btw sometimes I do in spanking movies).
August 16th, 2008 - 7:39 am
Sometimes, an immovable object (the stoic spankee) meets an irresistible force (the truly determined spanker), and the result can be pretty hot: As a kid, I watched a younger cousin take a long, hard bare-bottom hand spanking without moving or uttering a sound. She lay there tight-lipped and grimly determined not to yield but her mother, who was not to be denied, dug in and spanked harder and faster. After several minutes, the girl finally just broke down and cried, but her mother made sure she knew who was boss and spanked even faster for a couple of minutes longer, turning the girl into a writhing, pleading mess.
Obviously, that is going to be a very rare thing to capture on video and still come off as “genuine,” unless the spanking goes way over the line into bruising and flowing blood – which I definitely would not want to see PB ever do. The closest I’ve seen anyone come was Maria’s audition at Scarlett Hill some years ago, and it became a very hot scene while still remaining “just a spanking.”

August 16th, 2008 - 12:59 pm
Having recently been spanked, myself, on a couple of occasions, I can speak from very fresh memories. Timing is everything. One, two, three, well paced and nicely overlapping, and a pause, then four and five. A gasp becomes a faint sob. That little loss of composure helps the process along nicely. Four and five come with tears, and properly so, for a “good tingle” now becomes more of a correction.
A cool breeze and a warm hand where nature provided. “Talking to” should begin after six, with questions and answers at seven and eight, and a “lesson learned” at nine and ten.
A deep breath and an honest burst of boo-hoos round things out. Eleven and twelve come more gently, they sting, but that’s mainly due to justice already delivered. By hand, of course, nothing else is quite as personal . . . .
August 16th, 2008 - 2:55 pm
In addition to being super cute, you are also a very good writer.
August 17th, 2008 - 12:08 am
I usualy am silent on matters Pixie. She may kill me for saying this. I knew that she was special on the first day we shot together. The eyes, quiet comments, reactions were so special that I made Punished Brats an East Coast company. There are some very intense spanking videos that we don’t own that are beyond amazing. Pixie can take the most severe spanking, yet never lose that cuteness. Our first shoot was 07/02/05. God, and that’s only Pixie as a performer. She is our webdesigner, photoeditor and so much more. Did i mention her intellect? Punished Brats as configured would not be without her, and Eric Blair Brown. I had already purchased studio time in LA. As one familiar with the work of Kerri Kelly, Peaches, Janet Beckwith, and so many more, Pixie ranks above them all. Geeze..I think I just raised her salery. Duh.
In truth, Pixie is a very special young woman of unlimited talent.
August 17th, 2008 - 2:35 am
Thank you for the topic: it has produced some very interesting responses. I am of a great fan of too much squealing - but I do like to see natural reactions - whether squirming to try to get out of the hold of he spanker (which ends up by being more firmly locked into position); trying to protect the target area (especialy when otk) - by reaching back with the hands (occasioning a firm grip on the ofending wrist) or kicking up with the legs (leading to a slap on the calf or thigh); facial expressions - especially he eyes which atre always the most expresive feature; pleading (especially in a parent/daughter scene) and of course tears where they are natural (of remorse as well as of pain). But in the end who am I to judge? Spankees are all different and what may be natural to one may be ham acting to another.
August 17th, 2008 - 5:12 am
As far as spanking videos are concerned, when a punishment gets intense I prefer minimum dialogue, with the facial expressions of the spankee saying it all. I’m not a great fan of scenes with excessive kicking and screaming – unless it is intended as a fun scene and is all part of the plot.
When I think about this, I guess that it’s important to me that there is acceptance, albeit reluctantly, on the part of the spankee that the punishment is both deserved and necessary. In that situation it’s unlikely that there would be a huge amount of struggling.
As for scalding, lecturing and backchat (or apologies and pleading), it very much depends on the scene and the circumstances leading up to the spanking. Compare –for example – Father Bear spanking Goldilocks, with a more intimate ‘mother/daughter’ type of scene. In the latter case, I don’t think there is so much need for continuous banter throughout the punishment.
I shouldn’t have mentioned Father Bear. Now I can’t get an image of Richard in a bear costume out of my head. I wonder why that is?
August 17th, 2008 - 11:43 am
pixie to me i like to see little Reactions from the spankee to where they not crying. crying is ok but not all time. you are right pb do have differnt spanking model who do Reactions differnt that what make them special in thier own way. sometime have keep in mind all time they get spanked Reactions may be differnt not alway do same one as before
to me also notice is lot of time they act or say what you talking about before they get spanked acting like they did not do anything wrong or did what spanker saying then once spankings start they kic and squirm then cry saying iam sorry which make me thing they really did do it and desver the spanking they are getting

Hi David,
I remember you telling me that you found this incredibly talented young woman, called Pixie and I befriended her as many have done, I’m sure.
She IS a great girl and makes PB one of the best spanking sites I have ever seen.
You told me that Pixie might be a second Rosaleen and I agree.
So accept the nice words of David, Pixie and YES DO take that salary hike..
I love you for what you’re doing..!!!

August 17th, 2008 - 5:05 pm
Larry - Yup, it’s true. I kick and fuss quite a lot now and produce tears when I’m very emotionally connected to the scene I’m doing. I think it’s safe to say I’ve unlearned my conditioning to stay still and keep quiet.
Jeff - Sometimes we’ve received requests for the girls to really fight and physically resist. But since we don’t use any restraints in our domestic style discipline, I think some of our strong, fit girls would win and end up knocking people and objects over! Like you, it’s my preference as well that there be enough to show that this isn’t something the spankee wants, but not so much that it looks like a WWE match.
Dr. Ken - Definitely don’t want to look like you’re spanking an inanimate object. I’d think it would get monotonous for all involved if there was zerio reaction.
Radagast - Thank you!! I consider that very high praise.
tim - Yep, we are all individuals with different reactions, tolerance levels, looks, preferences, etc. and I hope that by having such variety we will continue to be able to offer something of interest to many.
T - I’d love to do a chase scene. How fun would that be? My spanker better make sure his/her laces are tied as I wouldn’t do a half-hearted jog. >:)
Irelynn - Being new can be a very big part of it. So much to think about aside from the pain in one’s bottom that it can be very distracting and inhibiting. All of that aside, I truly wish you the best of luck if you decide to pursue modeling. It really is a lot of fun.
Todd & Suzy - Oh thank you. >:) My best evil Cheshire cat grin spread over my face when I read that. Muahaha.
Prefectdt - I agree. I’ve been known to call a cut and ask spankers to please increase the intensity during a scene because I do not like ever having to fake a reaction. I hate doing so because I do not want to seem like I’m trying to show off or say that the spanking isn’t good, it’s simply that I never want to give a disingenuine response and so I need to feel every bit of the spanking.
dani - I’m always so happy others post here and feedback can be shared and responded to. It makes for a very insightful conversation.
Dreams of Horses - I too am glad that I was able to overcome my inhibitions and the training I’d received to not react. I think it’s much more interesting and fun for all this way!
funbun - Yup. Genuine reactions are always best. And I figure if I’m feeling like I might be getting a little bored from a spanking that isn’t making me react to my fullest, that is going to come across on camera and result in boredom experienced by the audience. I’m always curious to see how a new girl will react and how they might change over the subsequent times we work with her.
Richard - We try to offer a decent variety of scenes while staying within the scope of what the PB team has set for the site. Sometimes it’s hard to please just all three of our team members at once! LOL.
Erica - A few have been subject to my signature expression in scenes and in real life. In either case it seems to always get me in trouble.
I always thought that when the girl doesn’t react at all, it makes the spanker look like he’s being ineffective more than a brute. I guess it depends on how submissive she’s being at the time. If she’s lying there like she’s about to fall asleep, it communicates that the spanker isn’t spanking her hard enough. But if the spankee simply isn’t fighting or struggling and being submissive in her lack of reaction and yet the spanker keeps smacking away, then it does look near abusive.
Linde - Having someone that can read your body language is ideal. It can take away a lot from a spanking session to have to frequently stop and verbally direct, but sometimes it’s necessary until you’re both on the same page. Other times, it seems that two people just click and inherently know what to do.
Anonymous - Yep. Even if you are accepting of a punishment, it doesn’t mean you are going to like it!
Mo - I think losing oneself in the moment and losing composure can actually feel pretty good. A twinge embarrassing, sure. But it can also be such an adrenaline rush and a cathartic experience. I may be in the minority on this one though.
Alex - I see it sometimes too … in movies and right before my eyes. Most times each person will have their own little unique expressions of pain and discomfort which are interesting to observe. Other times I think it really is the person’s natural reaction to not move or respond at all which can get tricky.
^Mike - I would love to see a scene where a girl does her best to show it doesn’t hurt and then can’t help but react as the spanking continues. We tried that once but I think it was only a matter of seconds between the “it doesn’t hurt” and the “OW!!”. Didn’t quite work out but that was a genuine reaction. And as for over the line bruising and blood, there definitely won’t be any of that featured on PB. Punished Brats, not Bloody Brats.
Phyllis - Sounds like a pretty intense experience!
River - Thank you very much.
David - Ok, now I’m embarrassed. I had to work up the courage to approve the comment! Of course since it’s not spam, by my own rules I had to allow it. Thank you for all of your kind words though.
Winchester - I used to be quite good at escaping from my former spanker’s grasp. I would flip completely sunny side up to protect my bottom. Can’t say that I’ve ever tried that on camera though.
MikeP - Absolutely. Everyone is different and variety is a good thing.
Steve (UK) - Poor Richard. We do have a tendency to put him in the hottest, hairiest costumes we can come up with. But he is such a good sport and the best spanking Santa ever!
funbun - Tehehehe. Want to be my agent?
