Another Look At Birthday Spankings

My previous post on birthday spankings was a positive--or perhaps optomistic--look at the practice. The fact remains, however, that not everyone likes or is in favor of birthday spankings. Somewhat to my surprise, some of the people who don't like it are spankos themselves!




For me, any excuse to spank is a good excuse. And there's always the possibility that a birthday spanking to a vanilla lady just might awaken her inner spanko. I figure that's a win-win situation.


But--spankos who don't like birthday spankings???


It's true. Let's take a female bottom who is turning 25. The reaction from Tops is usually along the lines of, "You mean I can only spank her 25 times and then have to stop?!? That's not even a good warm-up!" I can see their point. And--after seeing pictures of some of the ladies receiving their birthday swats--I must confess that I'd prefer to spank them for 25 minutes rather than quit at the count of 25. Even adding the usual "one to grow on, and one for luck" doesn't seem like enough.


As for the birthday spankee, the argument goes, "Spank me for something I did. Spank me for something I should have done but didn't. But I have no desire to be spanked just for being born!"


I'm still a proponent of the birthday spanking, but I can certainly see why some people refuse to participate in the traditional celebration.


And on the Vanilla side--


I recently saw photos of some ladies taken after their birthday spankings. I expected pictures of girls rubbing their bottoms with a somewhat "ouchy" expression on their face.


Boy, was I wrong!


These girls had tears in their eyes, were seeking comfort from friends, openly crying--not at all like the "fun" aftermath that I imagined. I couldn't help but look at them and think, "Well, this is just wrong! You shouldn't get this kind of result from a birthday spanking!"


It's not that hard to figure out what must have happened, however.


The average vanilla might get a smack on the bottom now and then, but certainly not enough to where she gets used to it. So, if she's at her birthday party, and one of her friends decides it would be funny to deliver a birthday spanking--she's probably going to make it through that okay.


But if, say, 5 of her friends decide to give her a birthday spanking--one right after another, or all 5 at the same time--then, her poor bottom is not going to be up to the task.


Add in the presence of Demon Alcohol, and one slightly--or not-so-slightly--impaired individual thinking, "Well, it's a spanking, and spankings are supposed to hurt" who then proceeds to spank her like he (or she) is trying to permanently flatten out the birthday girl's round bottom--and it's a recipe for disaster.

It's a birthday party--it's supposed to be a celebration. A birthday spanking should be something light and playful and fun, not reduce the birthday girl to tears!


It should come as no surprise that this vanilla girl comes away from the experience with a very bad opinion of anything to do with spanking, and will want to have nothing to do with it in the future!


In spite of it being a tradition, a birthday spanking clearly isn't for everyone. And if you do plan on giving a birtthday spanking--please, use some common sense and take it easy on the "victim"! If there's going to be more than one spanking given, space them out so there's a chance for the birthday person to recover a little bit. Remember, you're not actually trying to hurt anybody--it's suppossed to be fun. Try to keep it that way!

Laughing my ass off. Mmkay, I have never received a birthday spanking. Actually I've never received a spanking at all, but you know what Doc? I can honestly say I'm now prepared to give out and receive a good old fashioned b-day pat. I think it's a dying tradition though because all I get are gifts. LOL

Unauthorized--A birthday spanking is kind of a gift. It lets you know you have a friend who cares. Of course, it should be never be given as a substitute for a gift. You should get both.... :-)

You've never received a birthday spanking? Or any kind of a spanking? All I can say is, dear lady--you are long overdue!

I'm glad to hear, though, that you're prepared to let that change. I'm more than happy to volunteer to do the honors.

(Although, since I live in Minnesota, I think you're pretty safe....) LOL

I've never commented before although I've been reading for a while now, but this is too good to pass up! I do live in Minnesota. And today happens to be my birthday. And I would get a lot more than 25 spanks.

Unfortunately, someone very close to me would not be thrilled if I had to ask someone else, so I guess I'll just have to practice my best begging skills on him ;-)

I enjoy your blog.

Dr. Ken said...

Joanna--Happy birthday! And thanks for reading the blog.

I'd be happy to give you a birthday spanking if nothing else works out for you! (Although, I imagine your begging skills will get you what you want!) :-)

Gosh...can't even remember the last birthday spanking I received. I hope that changes soon! My birthday is in October, in case anyone was curious.

Dr. Ken said...

Jenny--Okay, everybody, you heard her! Her birthday is in October--take a number and start lining up now! :-)

Ooooops....Dr. Ken, exactly how many times am I multiplying 38 swats??? I mean, I have to shop for just the right pillow to use after my birthday spankings....am I going to need more than one???

Dr. Ken said...

Jenny--one pillow will probably suffice. Just make sure it's extra soft and fluffy....:-)

Hmmmm... what did I get myself into? One day I will learn to filter between brain and mouth! Just because I think of a question, doesn't mean I need to actually ASK IT. My bottom will be pretty sore pretty often if I don't! Not that I mind that much...but I know an awful lot of people...many of whom would love an excuse to spank me...and it's not like the number gets smaller as one gets older...so even all in good fun, I could wind up with a very sore behind on October 14th.
