As I was lurking on a forum the other day (yes, I’m a terrible lurker), I saw a regularly posed question pop up. “Do spanking models really enjoy getting spanked or are they all doing it for the money alone?” Well, as with most everything, there isn’t a simple answer. From my experience, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. There are models that truly love getting spanked and happily engage in play off camera (long before, long after, and/or in addition to becoming involved with the industry). To the other extreme, there are those that aren’t into spanking at all, but are willing to endure it in exchange for pay.
And then there are plenty that fall somewhere in the middle – people who are open minded and wish to give spanking a try, those that have only ever fantasized about spanking before, those that don’t like the actual spanking but enjoy the after buzz, those who have a strong interest in the fetish world but not necessarily spanking specific, those that like it just a little, those that used to like it but not so much any more, and on and on and on and on!
But while I welcome open discussion about the models that might fall into any of these various categories, my question to you is this: Do you prefer watching scenes that feature models that fall farther to one side of the spectrum or the other?
In the post that I had read, there were strongly stated opinions as to what sort of person makes a good scene. Some preferred watching videos that featured models who were truly into the spanking lifestyle and were real players. This doesn’t necessarily mean the girl actually likes or acts as if she likes the discipline she is receiving in the video, but she is someone who has a genuine interest in spanking. While they still wanted to see the girl punished fully, have her cry out, and sport a very red bottom, this group of forum contributors liked the idea of the girl being a genuine spanko who understands and shares in this wonderful kink.
Those in the other camp wanted to see girls that are not into spankings at all. They felt these girls offer far more genuine scenes by experiencing all pain without even a chance of pleasure since spanking isn’t their thing. They believed there would be far less acting and more realistic anguish displayed by a person who has zero interest in being spanked except for a pay check.
My opinion is fairly neutral as in my own experience in having the pleasure of working with individuals covering a wide range of points along the spectrum, too many factors beyond true spanko or non-enthusiast come into play in making a good scene. I don’t want to delve too far into giving my own opinion as I don’t want to either influence anyone else’s nor do I want to potentially ramble on into other topics. So before I risk doing either, please give me your feedback on your preference.

Pixie,
I hope your Spanks….er, Thanksgiving was good. lol
I believe most of us want basically.. REALISM… in a spanking video. Although we KNOW that the spanking is consentual and the model KNOWS she is going to be spanked, she should not act like it. If she appears to go OTK willingly, it is because she is obedient and NOT because she WANTS to be spanked. Realism in spanking .. at least to me … means the spanking is punishment, not desired by the spankee, and should really cause discomfort (if not pain). Although there is a sexual side or interest involved, to some degree, to anyone who watches a spanking video … I, myself, do not like inappropriate touching or sex involved especially if the scene involves a relationship between the spanker/spankee that is NOT boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife or lover/lovee (I’m making up words again..lol)
As you’re aware, my personal preference is towards the more severe but I do NOT like bruising or welts or, what may appear to excede the spankee’s threshold/tolerance or what is neccesary.
If I comunicate with a person in the “buisness” I am thrilled when I find out that they are open, real and honest ….. as I have found you to be Ms Amber (Pixie) Wells!!! (Smile)

I definitely prefer women who enjoy it; while I enjoy watching spanking I wouldn’t like to think the spankees were not enjoying themselves.
November 27th, 2009 - 2:18 am
I pretty much come down in the middle as well. From scenes that I have watched, usually even girls (that being my spankee preference) who enjoy being spanked at some level react to the pain as if it is, in fact pain. I have enjoyed a few scenes where it appeared (from facial expression and other, ahem, visual evidence) that the model just responded to harder spankings by getting more turned on, but would probably not enjoy them as the norm.
Much of my spanking interest comes from the sexual aspect of it and just an appreciation of a nicely shaped female bottom, so while I partially agree with Linde’s preference for realism, if I am watching a girl getting her nicely shaped bottom reddened (i.e. if the spanking itself is realistic) , I’m likely to enjoy it even if she does too.
Although, that does bring up the question: How do you punish a naughty brat who {i}likes{/i} to be spanked….{grin}

November 27th, 2009 - 3:28 am
Well, pixie, wow the real pixie wells! I feel like I’m talking to a movie star! Lol. Anyway…it seems to me that this is really all personal preference. As for me, its all about what mood I’m in, sometimes I really like those fun, sexual, playful spankings. But I would say my interest leans heavily to the real, serious, discipline style, punishment spanking. Tears, apologies, scolding, etc, and also the forgiveness after!(it seems most videos forget that part!) I feel that if the person receiving the spanking truly feels they deserve it, and accept their fate, it doesn’t really matter whether they are in it for the love or the money. However, I know this isn’t the case usually. I really honestly never know in most movies, how sincere a model is and how much of it is “acting” (in well made movies that is, we’ve all seen the terrible fakes too and I know I’m not alone when I express my distaste!) I guess the final point is that I really do agree with your statement regarding realism. If the situation
merits sexuality, then show it! As long as the situation is believable and all those participating buy in, I’m usually happy! I must say tho, *blatent flattery to follow…* I have yet to see an Amber Pixie Wells movie I did not enjoy! Keep up the good work sweetie! Such a good girl! Love the blog too, although I wish I wasn’t so addicted, lol, every few hours its “I wonder if pixie updated?” I should get a life! Lmao. Thanks for the honesty in all you do hun! Keep it up!

For me spanking is about punishment and therefore pain. I don’t need to know if the person getting spanked enjoys it or not in their personal life but for me to enjoy a spanking video the spankee needs to at least be acting as if they are in pain and do not want the spanking but are being compelled somehow to take it. Of course having said that there are good actors and actresses and lousy ones, there are real spankings and staged spankings.
Give me the real deal and I’m a happy spanker.
Thanks to you Pixie…you make us happy.

I guess it’s like anything else, it can be fun, it can be a drag. I like my iob, but I also like my day off. I think if I was told, “Spanking scheduled for Tuesday at 3 pm” It would seem more like a chore then fun, [no matter how fun it is!] The real pro’s make it look easy Pixie ! That’s mean you btw. =0)
November 27th, 2009 - 9:29 am
This is a good question for discussion, Pixie.
On the one hand of course we’d like maximum realism, while on the other hand we’d like the reassurance of knowing that no innocent girls were harmed in the production of the videos we enjoy. And that means the actors need to be somehow complicit in the process. And somehow it feels better if that’s not solely because of the money we’re paying them.
November 27th, 2009 - 9:54 am
Hi Pixie, Nice to talk with you. I like most of the
spankings you produce, although I prefer the bare bottomed otk the most. I’d lke to make a suggestion: Why not have the person getting spanked appear not to want the spanking and be forced otk and then givena good spanking.
All in all I love the spankings you guys get. Keep up the good work.
Dave
November 27th, 2009 - 9:57 am
Good question Pixie.
I have often wondered which spankees are truw spankos and which are simply there to earn a buck: there must be both! My preference would be for them to be spankos rather than simply employees. And of course, even if one is a spanko, spanking still hurts and there cannot fail tobe an element of realism if the spanking is hard enough – perhaps just about pushing the limits before the safe-word creeps in. Even if the spankee is being paid it must still be consensual – otherwise the scene is portraying assault, and possibly actual bodily harm. I like the scenes to reflect reality – ie punishment for a supposed infraction – even when one knows that they are (mostly – I don’t know about Dallas and his spankees – you included – who claim to be seeking redress for actual infractions in the past) fictional.
And of course I am quite happy for spankos to be paid for heir modelling.
November 27th, 2009 - 11:31 am
Hi Pixie,
I prefer spanking models who have some interest in spanking other than just getting paid. It gives me a feeling of being able to relate to them better.
Having said that, I enjoy seeing them all, regardless of whether or not they enjoy spanking, and if a girl is brave enough to do it for the money, that’s fine with me. But, I think the girl’s attitude comes into play. I remember reading a model’s response to an email (not mine) in which she stated emphatically, that she does not enjoy getting spanked, but does it only because it is her means of employment. I was very disappointed.
You have never disappointed me, Pixie. I love your work. Thanks for all you do.
Vann
November 27th, 2009 - 11:50 am
So thought-provoking!! To me, spanking is something that happens in little movies going on in my head. But, even with my lack of experience, I would vote for the side that loves spanking instead of just being paid for it. The feeling of surrending to a loving but firm top seems to be the most appealing thing. I want the top to experience the same emotional release that I’m being given. It’s all about supporting each others’ spanking needs..
November 27th, 2009 - 12:22 pm
I have a fairly narrow defination of what a spanking is and that usually involves someone OTK, bare bottom getting a long spanking with a brush or small paddle that leaves the entilre bottom bright red and has a lot of horizontal dancing.
The phisical contact between the top and bottom is important to establish an emotional connection
When I see someone bent over a chair of other object, or just bent over while a stap or cain is applied , or are left with a bruised and bloody bottom, the parties not touching each other, I consider that a beating, not a spanking.
I have seen spanking with the person on a bed being spanked with the spanker placing a hand on the spankees back while paddeling away, that is an exception I still consider a spanking and it does let the spankee more freedom to wiggle.
As to models, I have wondered if the spankings start out clothed because her bottom is still red from a previous session.
That if they went straight to bare bottom, except for the first shoot of the day, it might look strange to see an already red bottom.
Of course, that would not matter if the story contained a series of spankings within a short time period, say getting spanked every hour for something really bad five times or so.
Lee
November 27th, 2009 - 12:51 pm
My fascination is less with the actual pain, but more with the bare bottom and physical contact with it. Spanking provides the necessary excuse to bare the bottom and “fondle” it. I enjoy a good story line, but do not enjoy severe or brutal beating. It really makes no difference to me whether the bottom is doing it for pay, however I would like to think there is a certain amount of enjoyment on her part from the activity.
November 27th, 2009 - 2:01 pm
Pixie very interesting post ,it helps if the girl is a spanko .enjoying your new vid here ,love and spanks from tim xxxxxx
November 27th, 2009 - 2:19 pm
hi punkin,
acting, acting, & more acting.
whether a girl is really in pain or just acting is moot with me.
the story is everything[for me].
the set-up[what's she done],…the lead-in[taken by the arm. ear, or just told to go otk],…the spanking,…and the aftermath. all have equall weight in my book.
as for sex,…as long as it’s it’s not too graphic & done with a modicum of taste it’s o.k. with me…..doesn’t fit with the pb’s theme tho.
yet another great post.
hugs, extra petting & ear scratching for the shelter orphans…from,

November 27th, 2009 - 2:33 pm
Pixie, you always come up with thought-provoking questions. I greatly prefer the model to be 100% spanko, though like you say, there’s a lot of complexity, and it’s not a black and white issue.
Ideally, I want to see a model who thinks about spanking in much the same way I do. Because I haven’t explored spanking in real life nearly as much as I’ve thought about it, I’m not locked into ideas like it must be pleasurable or sexual or what exactly. So however she experiences it can be exciting or interesting. It’s really how she thinks about it. If she wants to be involved in the scene, it works for me. But if it’s just for the money, I probably won’t connect with her unless she can really sell me on a more committed involvement. That might only be because she’s an enthusiastic actress and totally immersing herself in the character and scene. In many videos I like, I really have no idea where the model behind the role is coming from, so if she can sell it, I’m buying. However, if I do find out that she’s not a spanko, and doesn’t get that kind of fulfillment out of her participation in the video, it’s somewhat a disappointment.
November 27th, 2009 - 3:10 pm
This is a very good question.
Although I have nothing against spankees that do it just for pay (as long as their limits are respected but that goes for the enthusiasts as well) I do like to be a fan of spankees, follow them around websites and compare their “taking it” styles etc. For them to be followable they have to be around for a while and I suspect that it is the enthusiasts that are more likely to follow a more extensive career in the video production world. So for that reason I would rather see more enthusiasts than spanked just for the pay types.
Prefectdt
November 27th, 2009 - 6:16 pm
Right smack in the middle for me.
I personally love to be spanked and have done videos on that spectrum. I love to be spanked and I’ve worked with a company I didn’t want to, because I needed the cash. I’ve done both.
I think there’s nothing wrong with doing it specifically for the cash or experience + the cash, but I also think even more highly of those who truly love spanking and do it as well.
That being said, I don’t think many models would do a shoot without getting paid or some other form of compensation (travel for instance) unless there was a said reason for it.
November 27th, 2009 - 6:47 pm
My preference is for the spankee to be a genuine spanko and to enjoy the act of being spanked, but not beaten of course. It’s also important for the top to be genuinely interested in the act and turned on to his or her partner without overacting the expression of lust or the desire to dominate.
I get little excitement from knowing the model being spanked doesn’t enjoy it. For me it’s not about realism, for nothing about adult consensual spanking is real. There’s always some element of fantasy and make believe; otherwise, it’s torture.
I also believe that both the bottom and the top should be paid. It’s not easy being spanked or to give a spanking on command, especially when we are not in the mood to give or receive one.
As a side note, Pixie you would make either a good journalist or therapist. You have excellent communication skills and your photography is first rate. Should you ever get tired of performing, perhaps you have another career waiting for you?
November 27th, 2009 - 7:49 pm
It’s better, I think, if the spankee ‘likes’ what is happening to her….but of course this does not mean that the spanking doesn’t hurt nor that she doesn’t want it to stop nor that it can still be used as punishment. ‘Liking’ it does not mean that it’s all just fun and fantasy……not at all…..in fact I would suggest that ‘liking’ it may in fact in some strange kind of way increase the embarrassment and punishment aspect of the whole affair…what do you think Pixie? Perhaps that could be another topic?
Aristotle
November 27th, 2009 - 8:15 pm
Basically I want both partners to be into it and to enjoy it. My preference is for play, fun, sensual, erotic and sensual with both obviously enjoying the sensations and reactions. That said, there are some whose films are more about punishment who I like to see because of who the person is or how she looks — you’re one, Samantha Woodley is another, Erica is another, Audrey is another.
November 27th, 2009 - 9:18 pm
I prefer both participants to be spanking enthusiasts, because I feel a greater sense of empathy with kindred spirits whom I know are sensitively responsive to the entire spanking mystique. My first disciplinarian referred to it as her ‘calling’ and I think our rapport owed much to our mutual enthusiasm for the pursuit. I guess you could even say we were ‘purists’ although I know that’s an odd term to use about a kink!! And money needn’t cheapen the transaction. I dearly love music, so paying my piano teacher is completely different than paying my utility bill.
Pixie, I’ve always wondered if when you started working as a spanking model you secretly hoped that it might ‘cure’ you, being regularly subjected to painful thrashings, week in, week out, for several years? Like a kid who goes to work in a candy store.
November 27th, 2009 - 9:24 pm
i want to be a spanking model but its not for the money
November 28th, 2009 - 12:04 am
Of course we the viewers generally don’t know that much about the models/actresses. I assume that actually producing the PB material is a lot more work than acting out a scene between two consenting adults.
I like scenes where the miscreant truly dreads getting spanked — I generally like all of the PB scenes.
Brats Gone Wild comes to mind, Ms. Gregory has a line saying that she would never do whatever again knowing she would end up being spanked. I do disagree with the previous comment to the effect that the best make it look easy. This line of work is a bit different. Sleepy Student was very good, partially because it looked like it was very difficult to stay in position. I particularly liked the story line in Brat Spat (today’s update) with Ms. Bronte suffering the indignity of having the other Brat laughing at her chastisement.
November 28th, 2009 - 1:50 am
Hi Love, Happy Thanksgiving. Now we’ve worked with real players and models who are there for the money to some extent. Most seem to have at least some interest in spanking, You know I don’t belive in vanillia at all. All want to work with us again. You are the truest of the true in the spanking scene, but all of your work is honest. When last we shot, you did a heavy disciple scene with Veronica regarding a story about shoplifting. We used the vile brush of mine and you cried.
To Mo, Keep watching Brat Spat.
One thing I’d like to note, real players are more capable to letting go. Giving into the pain and the story. Newbys often have trouble losing themselves into the story we are trying to produce.
November 28th, 2009 - 2:05 am
Great topic, Pixie!
I think I lean toward saying that I’d prefer the models to enjoy spanking rather than just being in it for the money. Now by “enjoy” I mean that they get something out of it, whether it’s enjoying the actual pain/spanking or preferring the pre-spanking butterflies and the post-spanking warmth
That said, I’ll have to admit that I really don’t know much about the spanking models out there and it is entirely possible that I have enjoyed the work of some of those models who are in it strictly (no pun intended) for the money. If they’re experienced and good actors it would probably be difficult to tell.
On the flip side, I’m sure I’ve seen spanking videos starring die-hard spankos that don’t rank up there with my all-time favorites. So perhaps I’d be better off saying that I most enjoy videos where the spankee has or acts out somewhat submissive tendencies. Some bratting/struggling is all in good fun, but I’ve seen videos where the spanking model is fighting through the whole thing and that turns me off.
My favorite scenes, though, are the unscripted ones where the “actors” aren’t playing a part. I particularly love when spanking sites/production companies share their “interview” spankings or have spanking “tutorials” using their stars. The connection between the spanker/spankee really shines in these types of videos, and here I believe having a spanking model who *likes* spanking makes a huge difference.
November 28th, 2009 - 4:26 am
I’m so naive it never really occurred to me a girl would do it for a paycheck! This might explain why I seem to enjoy certain models and scenes more than others, as I always like to think she’s loving it really.
November 28th, 2009 - 4:32 am
But I do appreciate all the work spanking models do, to make it beautiful and fun for the viewer! You especially!
November 28th, 2009 - 6:51 am
At the end of the day the beauty of movies is that everything is staged and so long as it *looks* and *feels* genuine, I’m not sure that the reality is all that important.
That said I have a few thoughts:
The thing about models who are “into it” is that they can make better collaborators behind the scenes, so long as the producers are intelligent enough to let them contribute and are not just shooting content by the numbers.
On the other hand, there is a certain school of thought which says that models who are strictly cash-oriented give better reactions because they are not enjoying the experience on any level.
This leads us into discussing reactions more generally. In the spanking world there is a never-ending demand for “realism”. Leaving aside people who prefer what I would call hyper-realism (think Mood and to a certain extent Lupus Pictures), what customers generally want are decent reactions to the spanking – some minor struggling, a couple of cries along the way and a few tears towards the end.
The problem with some movies is that the models don’t react enough, due to either bad direction, poor acting skills or a combination of the two deficiencies. This leads directly to the desire of some people to beat the bejesus out of models so they have no choice but to react.
My point is that although mercenary models and lifestyle models perform for different reasons, the extra participation of the lifestylers is balanced by common industry deficits.
Anyway, all in all, I love reactions (but not crazy-brave severity), and I don’t really care how genuine they really are so long as it looks great on camera. I know intellectually that it’s probably all fake, but I can appreciate the final product regardless if it’s well made.
November 28th, 2009 - 11:26 am
The main point for me is whether the spankee qualifies as a good actor. To some amount, being genuinly into spanking can help with lacking skills as an actor.
A good actor may even hate what she is doing, a bad actor must love it because she is only able to play herself.
November 28th, 2009 - 3:18 pm
Sorry, I meant “for a paycheck ALONE,” in my first post above.
November 28th, 2009 - 4:38 pm
I just want to add that when a person is able to communicate with a model and then see her spanked it creates more of a personal bond between them. In previous blogs we were asked our opinions on reasons for a future shoot, Pixie. And then we all sort of felt we had an input into the actual shoot when it was released.
Having Davids input here is another plus for PB and makes us feel more of a group instead of just customers interested in a product.
I would love to see “outtakes” like they have in mainstream videos where we are able to get the spankee AND spankers feelings on the shoot and how they felt before and after. Also, bloopers are something I always enjoy in “Pixie Previews” and that might be a consideration for the future.
Let me just finish by saying that YOU (A.P.W.) are doing a lot RIGHT just by sharing and asking our opinions!!
That’s why we love you and PB Productions!!

November 28th, 2009 - 9:32 pm
I’d rather they had some interest and some enjoyment from it as spanking models. If not it just seems mean to me.
November 29th, 2009 - 2:01 am
Dear Pixie,
I don’t know that I could tell the difference from just watching a video, so it probably doesn’t really matter to me one way or the other.
Although–and I’m not naming names, here–but you can definitely tell some girls know more about being a brat than others. They seem to have a wider range of reactions and a lot more to say.
For me, it really all comes down to the scene itself. If it works, if the spanking comes across as realistic, then it doesn’t really matter if the spankee is in it for fun or for money. They delivered a terrific final product, and that’s what most of us are looking for.
Hugs and spanks,
Dr. Ken
November 29th, 2009 - 10:22 am
I also prefer girls who enjoy it, I guess they play their role better (not enjoing it). And you are definitely the queen of facial expressions!
November 29th, 2009 - 4:03 pm
Very good question; as so often. You’re really a remarkable girl..!
I agree with Linde. My preference is the spanking to look as realistic as possible, which can happen with both inexperienced ‘first’ models or very experienced models who are really ‘in’ to it.
It’s my guess that the experienced ones have learned to ‘act’ more, whilst the newbies look more spontaneous. Both acting and spontaneity adding to the scene.
Those who “Just do it for the money” often show a kind of “professionalism” that in many cases kills it for me. There’s is hardly any acting (or play), no sponteneity at all and the spanking can easily become just a “bum-smacking”. Almost a machine like excersize.
To me the best spankings scenes are those where there is a short but good plot (reason), where both spanker and spankee know each other well enough to REALLY PLAY. Really getting into their respective roles…
I love to watch a video in which I can agree that the culprit needs a spanking, where the characters, the environment, the clothing and all other requirements are met and look as realistic as possible.
Where the spankee gets spanked like she would “in real life”…
Hugs, Erik

November 30th, 2009 - 2:12 pm
Another interesting topic , Pixie. I have to admit while I have seen videos where the spankee is clearly doing just for the money, and have enjoyed her reaction, I do prefer to see women being spanked who – as was stated in your article – is a genuine spanko who understands and shares in this wonderful kink.
I think the realism of the spanking, coupled with the fact we know the woman is into it, makes for a great video. That’s why I have enjoyed the Punished Brats movies so much. It’s obvious you, Sarah, Chloe, Beverly, and others are INTO spanking. As another person stated, the facial expressions are great! Keep up the wonderful work.
Hugs & spanks, Gord.

[...] Pixie Wells poses another insightful quesion on her blog. As always, her thoughts and those of her readers are a good read. Like It Or Not [...]
November 30th, 2009 - 7:36 pm
I don’t judge models who do it strictly for the money. I think some of them might be shocked, however, at just how much it hurts!
For my own preference, I’d rather watch someone who is into spanking for real, and loves doing shoots — the money is just icing on the cake. I believe their desire to be there adds a certain energy to their performance. Screaming in agony isn’t about energy — it’s about pure pain, and that makes me cringe.
I do like classic spanking reactions, though — struggling, fussing, kicking, complaining. Pixie, I know that you know what I mean when I say I DON’T like the “porn star” reaction — oohing and ahhing and lip-biting. Please.
November 30th, 2009 - 10:59 pm
Agree with Erica on the reactions. I do think that occasionally the reactions look artificial when a young lady starts whining after one slap. Accepting the basic premiss of your site (that we’re in a Leave-it-to-Beaver type world, where corporal punishment is rather ordinary) I would expect her to be stoic for a little bit, and then to lose her composure during her chastisement. I do like to see the models kind of out of breath, and really working hard just to stay in position. That is usually best in the scenes where the model is really bent over with her head down, using her hands on either the floor or her own legs to balance with her whole body jiggling with each spank.
December 1st, 2009 - 12:55 am
This post leads into a question I’ve been wanting to ask: why are the spankees in videos called models instead of actresses? They’re not modeling clothing or makeup. Their panties are not being advertised for sale, usually. They’re being filmed, and they’re acting a role, so to me they’re actresses. In fact they’re supreme actresses, working under conditions that other actors would never accept! Imagine trying to remember your lines, stay in position and not use foul language while you’re being spanked so hard that you start crying!
This is actually a serious question, because I wonder if spanking “models” get the same protections and rights as regular actresses. Is it cheaper to pay “models” than actresses? Are there any benefits to being called a model rather than an actress? I’ve always wondered…
December 1st, 2009 - 11:59 am
Acting or re-acting?
How much is scripted and how much adlib?
I’m sure the senario is scripted, but if you want it natural, scripting the spanking would come off fake some how..
I don’t care for the “dead fish” spankee that just lies there and doesn’t move or say anything.
Or one that acks like she is being murdered when getting a few light slaps.
I get the feeling that, on Punished Brats anyway, once in position, what follows is a real spanking that the receiver getting and reacting to that fact.
The reason for it matters less.

I’ve had to think about this one. For the most part, I want the young lady being spanked to have some emotional to spanking. (I imagine most girls featured in spanking videos feel a sexual connection as well, but I never want that to be in evidence in a disciplinary or therapeutic spanking scene.) When I first thought about the question, the notion of doing it purely for mercenary reasons definitely seemed like a turn-off for me.
Then I thought of series of videos by Raven Hill Studios (which apparently no longer exists?) called “Resolved By Corporal Punishment.” These at least seem to be what they say they are: A young woman (who is not a spanking actress / model) has behaved irresponsibly (e.g., breaking something while drunk) and gotten herself fined or sued. The studio agrees to pay off the debt; the girl in exchange agrees to take a very real disciplinary spanking, on camera, and the studio sells the videos. I have enjoyed watching some of these quite a bit, and yet these are girls who apparently are not “into” spanking, and are in fact doing it for the money. The more I think of it, though, the more I realize the fundamental difference: In this case, there ARE strong emotions of regret and contrition involved, as opposed to just, “This sucks and hurts like hell, but I’m getting two months’ rent out of it.”

I’ve thought about the ‘model or actress question quite a few times over the years (being Ancient). The first time I encountered the term ‘spanking model’ was during the 70s, when just about all the spanking material I could find (or afford) consisted of pictures printed in magazines. So ‘model’ made sense.
A few years later, videotapes became available, and unfortunately quite a few of them featured spankees who didn’t know the first thing about acting. I’m sure that some of these were real spankos, but that didn’t make things any better when they went into a one-note kicking and yowling routine at the first smack and kept it going like the Energizer Bunny, often for 10 or 15 minutes straight, without changing either pitch or motion. I sincerely appreciated their willingness to bare their bottoms and be spanked on tape for my viewing pleasure, but I couldn’t help wanting more. (And there were honorable exceptions to the trend who gave more.)
It seems to me that we’re now living in a Golden Age of spanking videos — there are so many lovely women who are into the spanking scene personally, but capable of giving a stunningly good impression of a spoiled brat having a completely new, unexpected, and thoroughly unpleasant experience over somebody’s knee. And perhaps others, AFAIK, are not into the scene at all, but have the same talent and are willing to display it. Samantha, Lizzy, and your good self, Ms. A. Pixie Wells, and many others I haven’t got time to list, should all get (among your just deserts) very special Spanking Academy Awards.
Doesn’t matter to me whether you choose to call yourselves models or actresses, but you have to *be* good actresses to do what you all so wonderfully do. It’s enough to bring happy tears to an old man’s eyes.
It really is the acting that makes the difference for me. I do prefer to think that the spankee is getting a reward more personal than money out of the experience, but as long as she does her best to persuade me that what she’s getting is a horrible surprise, I’m satisfied.

P.S. Someone mentioned wanting to see more videos in which the spankee is forcibly yanked over someone’s knee and spanked. As I understand it, producers have to be careful to establish, in the script, that the spankee consents to be spanked so as not to run afoul of the same laws that require her to be 18 or older. That’s why we encounter so many challenges of the “…or shall we call your father?” variety. Perhaps this is too bad, but let’s be thankful for what we have. Take my word for it, compared to what we had 50 years ago it’s quite a lot.
