Carly hated birthdays. There was nothing special about birthdays, if anything it was just a milestone in the relentless race against time. A race that she, and everyone else, was inevitably losing. Sure, birthdays were fun when she was little- when getting older felt like conquering the years. The parties were always carefully organised by … Continue reading Birthday Spanking

Long-Distance Discipline
Long-distance relationships rarely sound like a good idea. However, when the alternative involves searching, waiting, and a fair bit of loneliness, are they worth considering? On the vanilla friendship side of things, I have plenty of experience with long-distance relationships. I have long-distance friendships with my parents, my sister, friends from school, and former co-workers. … Continue reading Long-Distance Discipline
More Silly Questions
I was having a girl's day out with a good friend who had decided it was time to introduce me to the wonders of eyebrow waxing. We were about to enter the shop- on the threshold and getting in the way of fellow shoppers- when she stopped and turned back with a look of anxiety. … Continue reading More Silly Questions
Losing It- His Perspective
Her perspective can be found here He watched her from across the table, her small, trembling hands picking the drink up over and over, taking the smallest of sips before carefully setting it back down. There was purpose in everything she did, he realised, even the placement of the glass. Each time she set it … Continue reading Losing It- His Perspective
The Price of Honesty
It started, as so many odd and wonderful things do, with a chat in a pub. I had met a writer- a real one, someone who had devoted himself to this craft as a way of life, not just something to piddle with occasionally on the internet. After several pints, I had lost sufficient inhibition … Continue reading The Price of Honesty

These are questions I often ponder, and I am very curious to see the … Continue reading Spanking Survey
The Party
Lily gingerly picked up the tray of melting cupcakes, looking with disdain at the small pool of frosting that had slopped onto the back seat of her car. Despite her best efforts, her baking never would live up to her mother’s impossible standards. Not that her mother had ever let her disappointment show; she had … Continue reading The Party
Humiliation
Why did “humiliation” become a bad word? “Humility” has connotations of virtue, whereas as “humiliation” is more like “degrading” (I suppose “degradation” would be the more accurate word to compare it to grammatically. However, as a scientist, that one has chemical connotations that I can’t get over, so you’ll need to excuse the grammar today). … Continue reading Humiliation
Much to Learn: The Middle
With thanks to Paolo of Wholebean and I Mark and Sarah's story began here Sarah bounced up the steps to her front door before the motion sensor for the light even activated. Although a bit woozy from too much time at the pub, her happiness provided more than enough energy to speed her quick trip home. … Continue reading Much to Learn: The Middle
The Blind Leading the Sighted
It takes a lot for a sight to qualify as strange on the streets of New York City. That’s why the blind man being lead by the elbow didn’t even register as remarkable. The fact that the man doing the leading was finding his way with a white cane, however, gave me pause and a … Continue reading The Blind Leading the Sighted
