But to me, nothing beats the warm, tactile feel of palm against bottom flesh. And it DOES help to be able to gauge the intensity of the spanking, by feeling it in the hand.

Cheers,
Dan

Funbun – I am not at all surprised to hear that the hand is tops with you. I have to agree with Rosaleen that you are a spanking purist!

Curtis – I can’t speak for others, but I sometimes prefer implements not only for the variety, but because I enjoy the different sensations, marks, and at times I don’t want the level of sensuality that a hand spanking may connotate. Odd perhaps, but true.

Stef – Your preferences as far as viewing seem to be very much in line with those spankings you like to receive. Do you find that you imagine yourself as the spankee when watching videos? I know that I often do and so my preferences tend to be similar as well.

Anne – Eeep! Having an implement land in the wrong spot can be a not-so-pleasant surprise! Taking it easy and slowly building up those skills is always best, but if the hand is a perfect fit for both of you, then perhaps there is no reason to take the risk of acciental ouchie bits.

Erica – Ohhh leather. Swoon!

And yes, when it comes to playing with the Bionic Bottom herself, I think it’s best for the top to use an implement or seven. I’ve seen what you can do to a hairbrush so those little hands better watch out.

Mark – Both are such timeless classics.

Chelsea – You have such an amazing collection of implements that you have lots to choose from if ever your hand needs a moments’ rest.

Linde – Do you enjoy the variety once in a while or does it make you appreciate the classic hand spanking OTK even more? Or both perhaps?

tim – How would you say the spankee reacts differently? Is it on a physical or emotional level? I think all implements are pretty good about putting a blush on the girls’ bottoms. That’s one of the things I like to watch myself when viewing a video – how the first few swats cause the blossom of red marks on a pale bottom.

Seatsorcher – No doubt! Those wooden implements can really start a fire so to speak.

Winchester – Since the hands (or at least the fingertips) have some of the densest areas of nerve endings, I wonder if it doesn’t sting the spanker even more than the spankee. Of course when I’m the one being spanked, I’m not sure I’d think that way.

007 – As I’ve said repeatedly, the hand is a classic, but there is a certain fun to collecting toys, isn’t there? Many of them are very pretty and of fine craftmanship. You can’t collect hands the same way. Or at least you shouldn’t!

Prefectdt – Thank you for your vivid description of your preferred position. I think it’s neatest to read what fine details of the position and the spanker’s touch make the experince the best for you and how even in a standing position, that little added touch on the neck can convey so much.

Steve (UK) – I’m with you about having just one implement for a scene to remain a little more on the realistic side unless the whole concept is to showcase different implements as in a Chelsea Spanks or Dallas video. However, in a standard single scene, it doesn’t make as much sense to get spanked with everything in the toy bag for one small infraction. That is just mean!

lilmissnaughty – But what about the cute implements youv’e found like the Tink paddle and the pink bear one? They are too adorable. But even cute ones aren’t as intimate and loving as the hand. And they are cute in their own way.

hairbrushman – Just a guess, but I’d imagine the hairbrush is one of the first implements to be selected in those cases of true punishment?

Robin – I can definitely understand why the hand would be the best for erotic/fun spankings, what with all those unique sensations … for both spanker and spankee!

Dr. Ken – That brush sounds super stingy! Although I’ve experienced many hairbrushes, I’ve only met with one clothesbrush courtesy of Richard Windsor and I’d promise to be good (almost) forever so as not to encounter that sting again.

Lurker – Lexan is pretty intense stuff. You must have a bottom of steel!

^Mike – Yes, I think the hand is perhaps the safest implements you can use because it provides so much feedback to the spanker and you have better aim and control over your hand than any sort of implement. I’m not a spanker, but even those times when I’ve just given a “brat whack” to a friend like Chloe, I am too chicken to smack hard with something like a school paddle. I don’t trust myself enough to not land wrong and I’d feel terrible forever if I really hurt someone.

Bonnie – Yay for variety! I have no doubt that you have a very impressive toy collection as well.

Todd & Suzy – I’m with Suzy – leather is awesome and thud over sting. Since you each like something different, would you say that both wood and leather get an equal amount of play (excluding the hand for a moment)?

Ed – Good point about how our preferences change over time. I think that is true with many of our interests.

Brad – I suppose the hand could be just as effectively used for a cool down as it can for a warm up! It is a nice touch and probably by that point the girl’s bottom is so sore that even the lightest pats will ellicit a response.

D – Yup. An implement isn’t always around within easy reach for those impromptu spankings. Nothing like a quick warning swat our in public too. Just enough to say that you mean business but not so much as to cause concern from onlookers.

Malcom – Sorry to hear that you have regrets, but that experience will help you in making a similar decision sometime in the future?

2Good – Thanks! I like the bit of added variety too of course. Even too much of a good thing can get montonous – like eating hot fudge sundaes for every meal, pretty soon you don’t want to even see another! I like the backtalk and reactions in a scene no matter whether it’s a hand spanking or an implement and so hopefully there will always be plenty of interaction in the scenes no matter what.

On a separate topic: I just voted for Beverly Bacci and would encourage others to do the same. I think all the models are lovely, and good luck to all.

Beverly has written to me a couple of times–she’s nice!!

Regarding your email from 11/22: how can you be so nice? Thanks so much! If you just need a friend, please consider me…I’d be especially fortunate, truly…….

Freelance writing can be lots of fun; lots of challenges! I’d be so happy to keep you up to date on this.

Again, how can you be so nice?? I appreciate you, dear one!!

Your messages are my special keepsakes. I’ve said it before……….

Also, with the hand, you can go on for some time, spank in rhythm, and you can spank someone long and hard, and sometimes put her to a nice bedtime sleep.

Now, some naughty girls, including the ones who get it regularly, warrant leather, wood (and perhaps ivory), just to get a rise out of them, and make a good impression, but I always like to finish with the hand and make them feel like it is very personal.

Some, not all, want rubs and hugs with the hand. Others like to keep in the disciplinary mindset for the moment.

I also prefer use of my own lap as opposed to sharing the pleasure with a bed, table or a chair. I guess I just like disciplinary intimacy.
