Saturday Spankings - June 21

Still going strong on our A to Z posts. It’s great to be able to blog everyday and have people come by. I hope you’ll enjoy today Saturday Spankings.

To continue from my snippet from last week, from my first book, Cassie’s Space, Tom wants to know more about the beautiful, young Cassie he has just spotted. The guys explain that Cassie is a rich widow. Tom wants to know more about her marriage and Andy explains…

“Her old man wanted a merger with the guy’s company and I think he threw Cassie in to sweeten the pot. That sick old bastard knew the guy beat her and never said a word to him. Once she escaped her family and the abusive husband, I guess she decided she’d take care of herself. I just don’t know if she can keep it up.”

“Quite a story,” Tom mused.

“She’s quite a woman,” Andy agreed. “But honestly, Tom, she’s got more baggage than even you could help carry. She’s not for you, you’ll get hurt and I don’t want to see that happen.” Andy and Steve wandered off, leaving Tom watching me and thinking of all they had said.

Without even knowing it, I had made an impression on the man I would love for the rest of my life.

Blurb: Cassie’s Space

Meet Cassie, a former wild child, who meets her match, and creates the match of a lifetime. To nearly all who know her now, Cassie is a vivacious, sweet southern lady, who is the epitome of grace and proper behavior. Look a tiny bit closer and you’ll see that Cassie has another side – the one whose language could make a sailor blush as she drinks him under the table.

 Thanks to her loving husband Tom, who even after thirty years of marriage, never hesitates to put Cassie over his knee when she strays too far from his view of ladylike behavior, few people other than close old friends know this side of Cassie exists.

Cassie and Tom show that love and passion are not the sole property of the young. Love and passion grows and changes with age. While aging may bring on challenges – the love and passion between these two people only grows stronger.

Don't forget to check out all the snippets out here this week.

R is for research

Scientist research so many things now, why are we ignored? I certainly grew up thinking/assuming that anyone who wanted to be spanked was strange. Why on earth would anyone want to be hit? I can understand that some people with extremely low self esteem would feel they needed to be ‘punished’. But if you look around blogland this is not who you are seeing.

Nearly everyone I’ve met here I would consider a strong, competent, confident woman (mostly women, thought I’ve met some lovely men too). They either love spanking for the stress relief, or for erotic reasons or the physical sensation of it. Those who are in a DD relationship are not ruled over and intimidated. In 99% of the cases I know about this type of relationship was instigated by the women.  They all knew they could take care of themselves and probably most the people they know. They have thought about this, they have read and made an informed decision to, not only voluntarily give up some control, but also agreed to be spanked if their partner decides to do so.

We love this and it seems so easily understood in our minds – yet there are still so many people who think we’re crazy. I wish we had scientific proof that we could point to and say “See for people wired like us, it can be wonderful!” But I think we’ll wait in vain. Even the talk shows won’t touch us without making fun of us.

Anyone out there willing to start their own talk show – I’ll be glad to be a guest.

Q is for Queer

I'll have to date myself here. I remember when the word queer had nothing to do with homosexuality. It meant strange, weird, unusual. At my first job we sometimes wrote 'PDQ' at the top of the clients card - it stood for 'pretty damn queer'. This meant than they were weird or hard to get along with, not that they were gay or lesbian.

As it changed, queer was used as  a derogatory term for homosexuals. Until very recently I still thought that was true. My son tells me that this is no longer the case. He says queer is a perfectly acceptable and often you will see the group listed as LGBTQ – Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender, Queer (or sometimes you’ll see this as Questioning).

I still don’t use the term myself, because while it might be thought of as fine in NYC, in the small southern town where I live it’s still used as a derogatory term by some. Do any of you find it difficult to keep up with what is politically correct these days?

P is for parenting

Do you have a daughter? Would you want her in a DD relationship? Tricky question isn’t it? We read and write about this life style. I think most of us are certainly drawn to it, but for our baby girls? Of course, it all boils down to what they want and the man they pick.

My daughter knows what I write. She hasn’t read much, but she’s aware. When a friend’s husband told his wife that she shouldn’t wear a two-piece bathing suit out in public my daughter was ticked! Coming home, she ranted to me, “She’s a grown woman. What right did he have to tell her what to wear? No one is going to tell me what to do.” I nodded to show her I understood her annoyance, actually I think she’s right. At least she’s right for her age, twenty-one. I want my daughter to be independent. I want her to be able to make her own decisions and stand up for what she thinks is right. Now if she marries a really good man who truly has her best interest at heart and should she want to give him the gift of her submission is some ways, she would have my blessings. But if I had any doubts - if I ever felt he was not acting in her best interest, heaven help him.

O is for Other (than Cassie)

I’ve wondered if I should I write something other than Cassie. I’m deeply into the Cassie series. Writing these books has been a dream – a fantasy of mine, for almost fifty years now. She came to me when I was just a kid and she was grown, nearly forty back then. We’re now MUCH closer in age. Until I began blogging, the thoughts of really writing this series was just a dream. I knew I’d never really write a book. I just enjoyed all the stories in my head.

The one question I’ve wondered about, but never asked -  should I should drop the series now and try my hand at other writing? I’ve written other spanking stories, but nothing book length. The reason I’ve never asked is that I worry many will jump up and yell, “Yes! Enough already! Try something else.” But since I really only have to answer to myself about this, and since I love writing about Cassie and Tom and the gang, I’m probably going to keep going for a while.

N is for Nick

Nick and I’ve been married for thirty-one years.

·      - Nick is six years older than me.

·      - He has his masters in economics and engineering.

·      - He came of age in the midst of the Women’s Lib movement.

·      - Before I asked him to spank me would have been horrified to think of ‘hitting’ a woman.

·      - When I showed him some spanking stories he was sure they were written by men and not women.

·      - He began working at the age of thirteen as a golf caddie.

·      - At his job as an adult, he went thirty-one years straight without taking a sick day. Then he was laid off (great company loyalty). Since he’s been back at work he’s gone another five years without taking a sick day.

·      - He cooks and cleans and does the laundry. He does the yard work and takes care of the cars.

·      - He ties me up, blindfolds me, shaves me, spanks me and most of all, loves me with all his heart.

I am the luckiest woman in the world!

M is for marriage (not mine)

 I’m married and I’m happy about that. But I’m even happier that my son is married. Many people were against my son’s marriage and for the life of me I could never understand why? He picked someone intelligent, funny, hard working, and good looking. They dated for over nine years and moved to New York – my son’s life long dream, after he graduated from college. I’m so glad he had someone, my boy was raised in a small southern town, and didn’t have to learn to the big city and all it’s ways all by himself. They are so good for each other, they care and love one another so much – why are so many people against them simply because they are both men? I don’t get it.

I am pleased to see that the vast majority in blogland don’t hold these feelings.  Maybe it’s because many of us feel we are hiding a secret of our own and we know how it feels to be looked down on and ridiculed just for being who we were born to be. Do you have strong feelings one way or the other?
