Mrs. Fletcher

If you're like me, you enjoy coming across anything of a spanking nature in mainstream media.  So let me direct you to the HBO series, Mrs. Fletcher, starring Kathryn Hahn.

Mrs. Fletcher is a single mom whose son is going away for his first year in college.  She's about to become an empty-nester.  (The son is going through a transition of his own, from hot shot in high school to anonymous first-year college nobody.).

So how does Mrs. Fletcher make the transition?  Mostly, she watches a lot of porn.

A few scenes into episode 5, she's on her computer at the kitchen counter watching a spanking video.  We see a few seconds of that.  She closes the computer, stands up and leans against the counter, her back to us.  She reaches behind herself, feeling her bottom, and then gives herself a couple of experimental swats.  She then lays herself across the stool at the counter, mimicking the classic OTK position, and continues to reach back and spank herself.  From her facial expressions, we see mixed results--at times it seems like she's enjoying the sensation, at other times it's clear that it's more pain than pleasure.  To enhance the experience, she even tries running some dialogue out loud, alternating between the roles of spanker and spankee.

She then stands up, lowers her pants, and then goes back over the stool.  Now, as we all know, spanking the seat of the panties is very different than spanking over clothing--a face she quickly discovers, as her first swat seems to be okay, but the second swat elicits a loud "Ow!"  She gets up from the stool and moves over to the sofa.  She attempts a few more swats, but it's clear that the pain is winning out over any pleasurable sensations she was having.  She gets up and walks back toward the counter, pulling her pants up and ending what turned out to be a failed experiment.

Kudos to the makers of the show for including this scene and to Kathryn Hahn, who pulls it off so well.
