Jacqueline,
I am a 32-year-old female who enjoys F/f spanking products and
also enjoys getting spanked. The thing that is puzzling to me
is that though I am definitely heterosexual, my spanking interests
lie only with other women. I love the idea of a slightly older
woman turning me over her knee and giving me a firm but maternal
type spanking. After the spanking I crave affection.
I really like it if she rubs some cream into my sore bottom
and then hugs, strokes my hair and rubs my back. The problem I
have is that many of the women I play with definitely want to
‘go further’ than me. I am in one relationship now
that is getting pretty sticky. Sometimes I wonder if I am a latent
lesbian but truthfully I don’t feel that way. I have had
many successful male/female relationships. I have tried to get
boyfriends to spank me but the experiences were never too good
for me. In the end, I guess I want a vanilla relationship and
girlfriends to spank me on the side. Honestly, all I want is the
spankings and then some affection. I do not want this to turn
into sex. Is this possible to get?
- Natalie
Dear Natalie,
Glad you wrote. Let me ease your mind a bit. Many females in the
scene like to spank or be spanked by other women. None of us would
identify with being gay. We just enjoy engaging on that level
with other women.
Many women like the idea of being spanked by a nurturing, motherly
figure. Others prefer a female touch. Let’s face it. Men
sometimes just don’t know their strength. When heterosexual
women spank each other, they can concentrate completely on the
spanking. Actual sex is not an issue. It’s the idea of the
affection. I think this is where you lie. You enjoy the idea of
getting spanked by another woman precisely because it’s
not sexual. In other words, you prefer to compartmentalize your
life. Spanking is on one area of sexual spectrum while regular
heterosexual sex is in another area with another type of person.
I think what you are after is fine, normal and natural for you.
I think there are many females out there who are like-minded.
Unfortunately, you haven’t found the right women. It seems
like you are picking females who want complete relationships with
another women. I’m not sure where or how you are finding
these ladies. However, you need to make it perfectly clear upfront
that you are heterosexual. I’m sure you are doing this but
you are not being heard. I suggest some long conversations and
lots of communications before you jump over a lady’s lap.
I know the spanking desire is strong but taking the time to get
to know somebody is worth it in the long run.Thank you for your
email and let me know if I can further assist you.

Ms. Jacqueline,
I love your site. A friend of mine introduced me to spanking a
few years ago, but I haven't had a real spanking yet or given
one. He really enjoys both giving and receiving and he's prepping
me for that first time. I realize why I love your site so much.
I was working on my Master's Degree in health studies with a focus
in sexual behavior. I have really gotten a much clearer understanding
about spanking and fetish. This is something that I have never
found in a text book. I realize that you also have a background
in psychology. I guess the difference with you is that you are
so passionate about spanking yourself. You present the topic so
well and professionally. How did you ever have the guts to 'come
out' and disclose such a personal part of your being?
You present spanking so well that I believe it would make just
about anyone enthusiastic about spanking. Including me, (someone
who never even thought about spanking) . I very much appreciate
your expertise and experience.
Sincerely,
Cindy
Dear Cindy,
Thank you so much for viewing my website and acknowledging the
effort we have put into creating something that we hope is helpful
to the spanking community. Your letter also gives hope to people
who want to teach a non-spanking person to join in and have fun
with spanking.
Spanking is definitely something inborn or developed from youth
but you're right - it can be fun on some level to everyone. It's
all in the presentation. People who feel comfortable and passionate
about something are hard to resist. They can truly spread their
joy in their behavior.
How is your boyfriend 'prepping' you? My suggestion is that
he demonstrate the kind of spanking he likes to receive by giving
you one. It should not be hard. It can even be light taps. The
idea of a spanking is much more than the act of spanking. It's
about attitude, verbiage and reasons. Once you experience the
receiving you'll have a better idea about delivering one. At that
time he can teach you about technique, intensity of the spanks,
etc.
Another good way to learn is to read stories and watch dvds.
The stories will give you language while the dvds will show you
technique. The internet is your playground of spanking. There's
lots to explore.
It wasn't easy for me to 'come out', Cindy. For many, many years
I thought I was the only one who liked spanking. I thought it
would be the secret that I took to my grave. But the spanking
desire is extremely powerful. So powerful that it can't be contained.
Once I started to play, I never wanted to stop. It's still that
way. I love the nurturing aspect of spanking and the role playing
that accompanies the scene. I also experience a great deal of
joy in 'spreading the word' and helping others feel comfortable
too.
It was a pleasure to hear from you. I think you are prepped
enough. Time for the experience. Let me know how it goes.
- Jacqueline
Jacqueline Omerta,
I found your web site recently. Your articles are convincing,
especially the ones on ‘Spanking and Guilt’ and ‘A
Spanking Is Not a Beating’.
My first experience was when I watched a girl spanked on her
bare buttocks many years ago. It kind of pulled the trigger for
me.
Guilt and shame: I was and still am enchanted by everything
that has to do with spanking and enemas but I only found out that
there is a word for it, when I was a university student: perverse.
That was a blow to my self-esteem. Not that I felt guilty so much
but I was ashamed for decades until I came to the point that I
realized spanking is one form of eroticism. It is rooted in our
nature and the only real problem is to find a suitable partner.
Many women do not even know their spanking and anal capability.
Instinctively they refuse.
You are right: To be a homosexual or a transvestite or a leather
fetishist is becoming OK but spanking and enemas are not. Sixty
years ago spanking was part of a good middleclass education and
enemas and thermometers were health tools. That has changed drastically
because Sigmund Freud suspected it of being sexually arousing.
The moralists changed position. If spankings or thermometers are
erotic, they must be ousted. The advantage of it is, that we are
now aware, that spanking has an erotic quality and we can enjoy
it provided we are not moralists.
And, yes I agree, hand spanking on the bare, over the knee is
the ultimate form of spanking.
- Hans
Dear Hans,
I’m so glad you found our websites and the articles. You
are so right. The internet is a wonderful way of connecting like-minded
people globally. I think that is the best thing to come out of
the internet: a way to communicate instantly and efficiently with
others.
Sorry that spanking has caused you some pain in your life but
I’m glad you are working through it. All of us know that
spanking is a fine, enjoyable and intimate experience when we
can find the right person.
- Jacqueline
Dear Jacqueline,
I have written to you on a few occasions and you have been kind
enough to write me back. I hope that all is well with you and
that you are in good health. I have a small problem and could
really use your advice.
I have started dating a woman who wants to be spanked and she
wants me to do it. I have never spanked anyone before. I have
always been the one getting spanked. I mean I am not stupid but
I know that done wrong someone could be hurt bad or at the very
least have a bad and lasting memory.
So what should I do as I do not know where to send her. Any
help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
- Lawrence
Hi Lawrence,
I’m so glad you wrote about this. This question is very
important because it brings up some real issue about rigidity
within our community. Some people in the spanking community want
to play one role only. Especially within certain groups men are
expected to be the spankers while women are expected to be the
spankees. I personally think this way of thinking is extremely
outdated and very narrow-minded. It is also very unfortunate since
we are a minority group and ideally we should be supportive to
our members.
Our spanking community has developed its own ‘standards’
that are often contradictory and unsupportive towards its members.
The truth about spanking is that it is not gender specific. Many
like to get spankings as much as they like to receive. Women who
traditionally like to get spankings oftentimes really embrace
the top role when it’s presented in a positive fun way.
When we do not allow others to experience spanking in the ways
they wish men who like to be spanked feel badly about their needs
and women who want to exert their power squelch their desires.
What’s wrong with taking on the top role for a change?
I bet you could do it better than most. You have been on the receiving
end so you would instinctually know the more pleasurable areas
of the buttock region on which to administer a spanking. As far
as worrying about ‘hurting’ her, I think you know
about safe words and communication.
I think your reluctance to do this lies more within you. Somehow
you feel wrong or uncomfortable giving a female a spanking because
you identify with the male sub role. However, in reality you are
being selfish. When someone likes a spanking, they like a spanking.
She’s like you. She fantasizes about the spanking sensation
and being allowed to let go. It doesn’t matter what gender
she happens to be. Both men and women like to be spanked.
The people who make the best spankers are those who have experienced
it themselves. Always start light and have her give you feedback
especially the first time. I am very sure you can do it and I'm
sure you would enjoy it as well. After all, you enjoy giving pleasure.
As you know, if a person wants to get a spanking they think of
it as a pleasurable experience.
After you spank her, then of course she can (and definitely
should) give you a spanking too. In fact, I would make that a
condition. By switching roles you can start on a relationship
that is based on equality and not unrealistic gender specific
roles.
Nice to hear from you.
- Jacqueline
Hi Jacqueline,
Thank you for responding to my e-mails, you are awesome!
I have been kind of working through my mixed feelings about
spanking. Like I said before though, your articles, and even the
content on the letters section helps to normalize my desires for
consensual spanking. (If it helps to use any part of my letters
in the letters section, that is o.k.) I have been seeing my therapist
for probably a year and a half, she knew I liked getting spanked
as foreplay. She didn't have any issues with it until lately when
I started playing with my current friend. He is more experienced
in the scene than any of the other men I have been with. We play
with safe words, which I only used on the first time. He has bruised
me a couple of times in play, but I am o.k. with it.
My therapist seems to view it as abuse because of the bruises.
I informed her that the spankings were consensual and mutually
enjoyable. I am seeing the bruises as being similar to the bruise
from a hickey; I have fond recollections of our play when I see
the bruises. I still enjoy spankings when I do not get bruises.
I don't think it is too extreme. If he ever gets abusive or doesn't
stop when I use a safeword I will dump his ass. What is your opinion
about bruising from spanking play?
My current partner does know how to spank me, although the only
past play I have had is with guys who don't have a clue. I have
never been to a professional yet. I will work on my end to make
that happen. It's almost a reverse psychology thing, I am going
to learn to organize my life so that I can make a trip to California
so that I could get spanked, go figure.
I am attaching a couple of photos. One of my rear view in panties,
which I hope is appropriate due to the nature of our discussions.
I found a 2002 article about your spanking sessions in some of
my old literature. I remember seeing the photo of you when you
have the glass for tears and I was actually afraid of you. The
reality is you are really a caring person, but I am still aware
of the fact that you can give wicked spankings.
Again I appreciate all of the assistance you have given me.
I feel honored that you are even taking the time to dialog with
me.
- Carol
Hi Carol,
I really enjoy dialoging with you. It seems like you have had
some very intense experiences connected with spanking. My only
concern is about keeping you safe. However I know from your past
you have learned to screen play partners first and meet them in
public places. I am sorry you had that one bad experience years
ago. Most people would think it’s amazing that you still
want to pursue spanking after that one horrific experience but
I understand the spanking desire is that strong. I am keeping
what you wrote to me confidential though it’s important
for anybody reading this to know that on occasion meeting a stranger
can result in something dangerous. People please screen, screen,
and screen. Meet in a public place and let somebody else know
where you are going.
You have a beautiful bottom that I will certainly enjoy spanking
one day. You didn’t look that bruised; only well spanked.
Most therapists simply are not schooled about spanking. They
mean well but they don’t understand the deep layers and
complexities of this fetish. Some view it as abuse. Others view
it as an addiction that needs to be treated like alcoholism. Neither
is true. We need to accept what we like and incorporate it into
our lives in a way that is comfortable and fits. The only times
spanking can become dangerous is when we are compulsive and take
chances. When it’s between two consenting adults who stick
to spanking, it’s a fun, healthy, erotic outlet.
The bruises are fine as long as you want them. The buttock area
is very resilient and can take a good amount of spanking. However,
you never want to let the bruises go to deep or you can get edema
(blood clotting). Some of like marks as a kind of souvenir. I
think that’s where you’re.
I’m glad you found someone you enjoy playing with. I’m
glad he treats you well and seems to know how to give a spanking.
Thank you for your thoughtful emails and I look forward to meeting
you one day.
- Jacqueline
Jacqueline,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn about spanking.
The more I learn the more comfortable I get with my feelings.
My ultimate goal is to become comfortable enough that I can approach
my wife in some fashion and work spanking into our lives. The
scariest aspect is that I’ve been married for 15 years and
spanking is the only part of me that I have kept from her. Now
I feel it’s necessary to let down all my barriers and defenses.
My biggest fear is that my wife will be repulsed and reject my
desires and feelings.
I related to the ‘subspace’ feeling and the article
written by Vinnie on your website. When I’m spanked I go
into another dimension that connects with some deep needs. It’s
definitely about why I’m getting spanked and getting some
absolution. It’s also about spanking being erotic and fun.
I really and truly feel something deep when I engage in spanking
interaction. When I’m on top, I feel like I let someone
really let go. When I bottom, I feel like I get lost in the experience.
I also find spanking to be good stress relief. I compare it to
the feelings that some people have described in getting a deep
tissue massage.
As always thanks for listening.
- Robert
Robert,
Yes, it's frightening to share such a very confusing but very
powerful part of your life and sexuality. Even to a partner whom
you are close with. The fear of them not understanding or worse,
rejecting can be overwhelmingly frightening. So much so that it
feels safer to keep it inside. That's why so many of us do that.
I think your slow very methodical approach of gently broaching
spanking with your partner is a good idea. Sadly, when something
sexual is not a turn-on for your wife, or perhaps misunderstood,
even a close partner may have the wrong reaction. Meanwhile I'm
really glad that we have met each other and you are allowing yourself
to enjoy spanking in a safe, controlled environment. By that I
mean this is strictly between the two of us and we are interacting
in an appropriate, professional way to help you explore something
that is meaningful to you. The more you understand, the better
your chances will be of getting your wife to understand and embrace
spanking.
- Jacqueline
Dear Jacqueline,
I am a married male 54 and my vanilla wife is 50. She hates my
fetish and flat out will not indulge in a real spanking. She tried
once for our first wedding anniversary, but not since. She would
rather start a huge fight with me about being a sicko and will
not play.
She does claim that she does not want to lose me to another
and she would call it cheating if I found some one in or out of
cyberspace. I need my favorite past-time, a lady bent over letting
me beat her ass for for punishment, sex or just for killing the
time of day?
What is a guy to do with a real itchy palm that needs a bare
and very warm naughty bottom under it to do?
Warmest Spanks,
Rex
Rex,
You are experiencing the very same dilemna of many readers on
this website. You have a desire that others find disconcerting.
In turn, you feel angry and unfulfilled.
I know you have a problem. You like spanking but your wife will
not particpate and will also not allow you to find other partners.
In reading between the lines, I take it you want to stay in your
marriage and not venture out so I will give you some suggestions
on how to get your needs met.
First of all, about your wife. Do you say things like ‘beat
your ass?’. That phrase even to me, a spanking person, is
off-putting. No one wants to have ‘their ass beat’.
Most of us prefer the idea of being ‘spanked over the knee’.
Spanked is more friendly than beat. Over the knee is sexier and
more intimate than being ‘bent over’. Perhaps a friendlier,
gentler approach to spanking will get your wife to re-engage.
The first step might be to have an open discussion with your
wife and re-open the whole subject. She obviously knows you like
spanking. When a woman who is committed to her man, knows that
he loves something but then turns him down, suggests some deep-seated
anger in the relationship or a real aversion to the concept of
spanking in general. Which is it? What do you think? Did she have
some abuse issues in the past? Was she physically harmed early
in life? All these issues need to be factored in and discussed
with her.
You guys are in a committed relationship and I never advocate
going outside a marriage, especially when a wife is all ready
involved with the spanking issue. But now you guys have a true
conflict. You have a need to spank. She has a need for you to
not engage with other women. This conflict has to be addressed
because you both clearly have needs. The more your needs are denied,
the angrier you both will be. This unresolved anger will end up
surfacing at other times and other ways to the point that one
of you will explode over nothing. It’s like a tiny flame
that smolders endlessly. One day this flame will come in contact
with a flammable object and out of nowhere it will explode into
a lethal fire. Get my point? Stuffing feelings of anger never
works. This is not healthy for you or your wife.
I suggest you guys re-open your talks. If necessary, hire a
trained therapist to listen and help you sort this out. In the
meantime, you will have to have solitary spanking activities such
as reading spanking stories, watching spanking movies, etc. This
is something that is not going outside of your marriage and is
absolutely necessary since the spanking fetish does not go away.
Spanking is something that you enjoy and is an inherent part of
your sexuality.
I would be happy to answer your wife’s email, if that
will help. I have been very successful in working with couples
where one person is the born spanko and the other is ‘vanilla’.
Glad your emailed me, Rex. Now it’s time to start the
dialogue with your wife.
- Jacqueline
Dear Jacqueline,
I am dating a female with an irresistible bottom. She wears nice
tight jeans that really plump out her assets. When we are out
I can’t stop myself from touching her ass. I rub it, pat
it, fondle it but I want to spank it so bad.
I know this girl has no desire to be spanked. It’s driving
me nuts. Should I just give her a few whacks and see how she responds?
Or, should I simply tell her about my desires and see what she
says? I can’t take this much longer.
- Carmine
Dear Carmine,
Such a waste for a girl to have such great assets and not want
to get spanked!!
How does she respond to be touched on her buttock region? Try
and notice her body language when you touch and fondle her there.
You might want to give her a few playful whacks and see what happens.
I’m a big believer in communication. I would tell her
in a casual way that you love spanking. Explain that you are an
‘ass man’ and this is simply another way for you to
express your own sexuality. Keep the conversation about spanking
light. Talk about spanking as a fun, playful, erotic activity.
If you feel confident and approach the topic in a positive way,
I think she may respond. With a bottom like hers, she probably
attracts spankos all the time. She may have been spanked before.
Who knows? And that’s the point, Carmine. You have to speak
up in order to get what you want.
- Jacqueline
