too hardcore for women?

Some friends of mine recently started a magazine called Filament. Billed as ‘the thinking woman’s crumpet’, it aims to buck the trend of consumerist, diet-and-gossip-obsessed women’s magazines which, despite their claims, are very rarely woman-positive…

Spankernet?

And finally… We hope you’ve enjoyed our choices over the past week of our favourite entries from other blogs. We’ve saved perhaps the best of a great bunch to last.
It’s a thought-provoking, touching piece that appeared last month at “The confessions of a spanked princess”. In it, Kelly explored some of the challenges of embracing […]

Not Amused

My daughter, the traitor, brought this home from her vacation. She tells me it is a leash for her stuffed Scooby-Doo, which does, coincidentally, fit into those loops at the end of the thing. As for the rest of it, it’s a damn cane, conveniently disgui…

Mayberry

The princess is home. She immediately launched into a deconstruction of her room, and Chris waited two nights while my mother was here and then expressed a desire to see me naked again. The inadvertent, unintentional two days since we’d last had sex ha…

“Abel’s Spanking Stories”

I know that many of you first discovered my writing through my website, Abel’s Spanking Stories. It’s been around since January 2002; in that time it’s had well over two million hits and lots of kind comments from very many readers.

“Inside the mind of Gloria Brame” is a veritable treasure-trove of photographs, illustrations and perceptive comments - and one of her posts is the fifth of our annual “Best of the kinky rest” selections. Not all of the material on her blog is spanking-related, but it’s invariably hot and often very witty, as with our […]

The harem caption competition

The ever-enjoyable Photino featured a wonderful harem illustration the other day, wondering whether anyone knew the source:

I spent an enjoyable half hour seeing if I could solve the riddle. I found one Google reference that appeared promising in an article entitled, “Slaves, Sex, and Ascetics in Rasdhan, ca. 1800–1857”, published by the Cambridge […]

Ask Bonnie

As the title suggests, Ask Bonnie is where I take reader questions and attempt to answer them as best I can. As you shall see, some are practical, some are fun, some are frivolous, and some are simply bizarre. Let’s take a peek…Question: Are you st…

The next of our summer selection of the blog posts we’ve most enjoyed in recent months is this, from the ever-so-dark “News of the Lash” – which publishes news accounts of real-life thrashings from around the world, interspersed with photographs from spanking movies and of “deserving young women, the sort who look like they deserve […]
