How Do You Like Them Tomatoes?

OK, its off topic but then its been a while since we have posted something.  Guess we have gotten carried away with all the summertime activities and our 'Spanking Activities' have taken sort of a back seat (pun intended).

One of our rather major projects involved clearing four flower beds and planting new things.  The pic above shows the 'fruits' of that labor, some beautiful tomatoes.  And they taste as good as they look!

I won't bore you with all the details of what else we have been doing.  However, there is a backlog of 'Discipline' slips piling up on our refrigerator and Cora will have quite a job getting through the backlog.  And if she were to check, she would find a few pairs of her panties missing, too!

So when we get back into the 'swing' of things, we will post some of the details.  Until then, here is one from our archives.

Hmmm, do you think Cora will try to match the color of my bottom with our tomatoes?

Rules

Today as I was reading e-Mail from the Yahoo Groups I subscribe to, a question was raised regarding what rules are in use by couples who have adopted a Female Led Relation lifestyle.  I replied that in our relationship, we apply the Two Rule system:

Rule Number One:
     Cora is always right.

Rule Number Two:
     When in doubt, refer to Rule Number One.

We do have a Contract but its probably a bit outdated and we haven't referred to it in months (perhaps over a year).  So mostly we go by the Two Rule system. 

Mostly we don't get into a situation where I have done things to really upset Cora (but we do have resolution when that does happen!), so mostly we just try to have 'fun' with our relationship.  Yes, I love it when Cora spanks me under these circumstances, but I hate it when she spanks me when I have done something to upset her.  Its probably more painful to me that I have done something to upset her that the actual spanking.  Although she can deliver a blistering spanking under those circumstances, if she really wants to.

So, here is what happens when I break Rule Number One.  Whether its for 'fun' or something 'real':

Cora's New Girdle, and a Spanking

Its been a while since our last post.  No excuses but not much has been happening in our lives that relate to our FLR.  We have been occupied by yard work, planting a new garden and organizing our movie and CD collection.  Pretty boring.

However, today we had several appointments and spent several hours 'out and about'.  Before leaving, Cora decided to try a new girdle.  Actually its what is known as an 'All-In-One' as it includes a bra.  However, this All-In-One is different than the ones she usually wears as it doesn't have long legs.  Thus the garters that hold up her stockings aren't covered up by the cuff of her Panty Girdle.

She wore this All-In-One under a pair of tight jeans.  And the Garter Bumps showed off nicely.  Very nicely.  There is just something sexy about a woman showing off Garter Bumps and its something that you don't see much any more.

Cora likes to dress up when we go out and very often wears girdles, stockings and heels.  It makes her feel sexy and powerful.  I could not resist and when we returned home, grabbed the camera and shot a few pix of her on our sunlit deck.  The lighting nicely showed off her Garter Bumps.

After we came inside, I couldn't resist.  She took off her jeans and blouse and the sight of her in her All-In-One was too much.  I asked her to take me over her knee and spank me.  Of course 'you-know-what' went 'you-know-where'.  It was very sensual.  For both of us.  Needless to say, Cora also felt in the 'mood' too and began spanking me with her hand.

If you follow this blog, you know that music plays a major part of our lifestyle.  Well, the Door's 'LA Woman' was playing.  Cora immediately got into sync with the music.  If you are familiar with this song, there is a part where the temp slows (Mr. Mojo Rising, ....).  The tempo gradually picks up and I found myself feeling Cora's hairbrush's stings building along with the tempo of the song.  When the tempo returned to the faster pace, Cora was paddling me quite hard along with it.  Ouch!  (But it felt soooo good!)

Needless to say, the lovemaking that followed was awesome.  I love this Woman so much and I especially love it when she gathers up her power and expresses it in her sexuality.

Northwest Paddling Festival

Cora and I live in the Northwest part of the USA, specifically in the Seattle area.  Well, the news yesterday indicated that there was a uniquely Northwest celebration occurring this weekend:

The Northwest Paddling Festival!

We had a nice laugh about it yesterday morning.  Then yesterday evening, completely out of the blue (OK, its more gray here in Seattle), Cora steered me to the table in our kitchen area.  "Bend Over!", she instructed.  Of course, I complied.

She then proceeded to go to her 'rack' and applied about half her rack (there are now 14 instruments hanging from it) to my waiting backside.  About half way through, she reached into the waistband of the pants I was wearing and bared my bottom for the rest of the selections from her rack.  One of these was the big paddle (ouch!). 

For her final selection, she grabbed our new Spencer Paddle.  With this one, she really let go. (I think this was partly a result of watching a video of some Ladies applying a particularly hard paddling to some naughty boys).  Whew!  That paddle is the one with all the holes and it makes a swooshing sound as it travels its trajectory toward its target (me, in this case).

So, I am certainly glad that Cora decided to join the Celebration of Paddling in the Northwest.

The Leda Ladies - Volume One

It arrived Yesterday.  We ordered our copy from Amazon.  I guess Spanking has gone 'mainstream'.

The full sized book is very impressive with over 60 pages of the famous Leda Ladies.  Many are shown in 'action shots' and a bit of the history in included in the narration.  For those of us who love our ladies when they dress up in girdles, there are plenty of the Leda Ladies wearing them.  And there are also photos of some of the (lucky) men being bent over some of the creative 'Spanking Benches' including the famous "Dreaded Box'.  (I must spend some time in the shop and complete ours).  For those of you who are fans of Leda (and I know there are many of you out there), this is a must-have.  I know we will be looking forward to future volumes.

When the doorbell rang from UPS delivering the package which contained our copy of 'The Leda Ladies', we had been preparing to go 'out and about'.  Cora never leaves the house unless she has fixed her hair and is dressed appropriately.  And today was no exception.  But this time she decided to wear one of her short, black, very tight skirts.  Naturally, under it she was wearing one of her All-In-One panty girdles along with black stockings and a pair of some of her favorite 3-1/2 inch heels from 'Classic Pumps'.  In my opinion, she was dressed to the nines (maybe nines-plus).

I must admit that I am one lucky guy.  Not only have I found a Lady to lead our relationship and spank me when needed, but she is also a very attractive Lady.  She has recently gained back some of the weight she lost since the infamous 'Emergency Room' incident last September.  So she is again filling out her jeans and skirts quite nicely. 

I am so thankful that Cora is not obsessed with looking 'skinny'.  Instead, she knows the power of a Womanly Derriere.  I know I am helpless when she wears some of those wonderful tight skirts.

While out and about, Cora received lots of attentive stares from the guys.  And while in line at one of the stores we visited waiting to make our purchase, another woman walked up to Cora and complemented her on her attire. 

Upon return to home after unpacking our 'stuff' I perused our new book.  I was really enjoying the photos and suggested that Cora take a look.  And take a look she did.  A very inspiring look.

After kenneling our pups for their evening meal, Cora sat herself in the middle of our couch.  She had already retrieved one of our recently acquired Nu-West/Leda hairbrushes off her rack.  She directed me to drop my pants but to leave the underwear on, as she wanted to be the one to remove them.

Cora then proceeded to hike up her skirt and over her lap I went.  She then tucked her fingers into the waistband of my undershorts and pulled them down.  I waited for her next move with my bare bottom submitted for whatever she had planned.

Cora then proceeded to deliver a hand-spanking.  Now, this was not a 'Discipline' spanking, so I just relaxed and enjoyed it.  We were both in comfortable positions and Cora was starting out lightly, providing a rather nice warm-up.  I must say it was very erotic having my bare bottom presented to her along with the sensations from her stockings and girdled lap.  Very erotic!

Cora proceeded to increase the intensity of her hand spanks.  Then she reached for her hairbrush.  And took off where the hand spanking left off.  The intensity of her hairbrush was certainly getting my attention.  I had to concentrate on remembering to breathe.

I have no idea of the time but I was certainly in the 'zone'.  Cora continued to spank me with that Nu-West/Leda hairbrush.  She has found that she likes the ones we recently obtained over the older one.  And indeed, she was enjoying it.  Needless to say, my bottom was on fire.  But I was really enjoying it, too.

Finally she indicated that she was done.  However, I wasn't.  So I asked her for more.  She had no trouble complying with my request.   Cora has an ability to 'read' me and has always been able to know when I am starting to really feel the affects of her strokes.  In the past she has usually stopped at this point.  However recently, I have encouraged her to go beyond this point and push my limits.  (Actually its probably more pushing her limits).  Anyway, this final floury from her hairbrush left me with a very red and sore bottom.  Just the way its supposed to be.

Later, in our post-spanking de-briefing (!), we discussed what had happened.  Not only was I left with a warm feeling (in so many ways!), but Cora had thoroughly enjoyed it, too.  She indicated that she felt a tremendous stress release and a feeling of refreshment.  And maybe even a little aroused.

This morning, as I am composing this post, I am still feeling the effects of last night's spanking.  And I am loving the memory of it all: Her tight skirt, the exposing of her stocking clad lap, the hand spanking (I so love how intimate one of those can be), and finally the burning of my behind from her hairbrush.

Thanks to Leon for a wonderfully inspiring book.

Stressed Out Cora

Cora had a stressful weekend.  Things were fine but she got stressed out, nevertheless.


Stressed Cora


 I anticipated that she would be stressed and thought I'd present her with one of our 'Requests for Discipline' slips.  I filled one out and left it on her pillow on Sunday morning.  I was sure that a little spanking 'play' would help.

Well, it turned out the rest of the day Sunday just produced more stress.  When things finally came to a conclusion at about 4PM, we adjourned to our deck and enjoyed our 'cocktail hour'.  The conversation was wonderful and Cora was able to 'download' lots of stuff that had built up.  Being able to communicate is one of the most beautiful parts of our relationship.

I have been working on finishing up a couple of 'Spencer' paddles over the past week.  These were copies of the Nu-West/Leda paddles that I had purchased over 15 years ago.  One of the 'original' sits proudly on 'Cora's Rack' and its one of our favorites.  I decided to try a different finish on these two: Shellac.  Its an interesting finish and I applied about 5 coats, sanding between each coat.  Once the last coat was dry and sanded, I decided to apply some paste wax to finish it.

It was during our conversation on the deck that I was applying the wax.  I spent considerable effort with the polish rag and the result was a nice velvet finish.  I handed it to Cora who admired the smooth finish.  "Would you like to take it for a test drive?", I asked.  "Sure", she replied.

So, into the kitchen we went.  She had me bend over our table and began paddling me.  At this point she had let me keep my jeans on  "Don't hold back", I told her.  She started increasing the intensity.  Looking over my shoulder, I could see her wind up and apply what looked like a pretty hard swat.  Oh, and I felt it too!

"I want to compare your paddle with the original", Cora soon stated.  She pulled the original off her Rack and started paddling me with it.  It felt about the same.  After all, the new one was designed to be a copy of the original.  The new one does weigh about 1/2 ounce more (7 oz versus about 7-1/2 oz for the new one).  However, Cora found that the new one had a better 'balance'.  She continued to compare them back and fourth.  I was getting a very thorough paddling. 

Soon, Cora decided she wanted to continue paddling me but on the bare bottom.  Quickly, my pants were puddled around my feet on the floor and Cora continued her comparison. 

By this time I was 'warmed up' with the protection of my pants but now I was fully exposed.  She continued with an intense paddling.  It was burning like everything but I have to admit that I was enjoying it, too.  It was a combination of seeing her smile, not holding back and entering the 'zone'.  Wow!


Cora - Post Stress Relief


Finally she stopped and exclaimed, "Oh, that felt so good.  I feel like I have unloaded lots of stress."  And I am so happy that she receives such pleasure in paddling me.

Last Night ...

... She Spanked me!

I was attending to our video player setting up a video to watch.  (We have been on a Hitchcock kick).  I heard Cora behind me and she seemed to want my immediate attention.  OK.  I turned around and she was gently pulling me towards the couch.  She sat down in the middle (her usual position is on the far right) and pulled me over her lap.  I could tell what she had in mind and as I was being draped over her lap, made sure my bottom was bared for her.

As you may have noticed, we haven't been posting much as there really hasn't been much going on in our relationship in regards to our FLR.  Much of our energy has been directed in taking care of Vixen.  Thankfully she is almost completely recovered and we were so thankful that everything associated with the growth was benign.  And thanks for all the comments from our last post.  Its obvious that we are in good company when it comes to our love of our four legged friends.

So last night I guess I must have been in a 'mood'.  Not exactly in a depression but definitely energy drained and a lack of my usual passion.  Cora picked up on this and decided that a session over her lap was just what I needed.  Wow, was she ever correct.

If you have followed our blog, you know that Cora and I love our music.  Recently I discovered a device that allows me to use our wireless network to send music from the hard drive on one of our computers to our sound system.  I have been loading music from our CD (and vinyl) collection and organizing them into groups.  Last night, I had a group of 'classic rock' loaded and playing randomly.  (Its a really neat set-up).   At the time I landed over Cora's lap, bare bottomed and ready to be spanked, the song 'Venus' from Shocking Blue began to play.

Cora began hand spanking me.  Her cadence immediately fell into the rhythm of 'Venus' which has a very solid beat.  And I was getting a full four-to-the-bar hand spanking from Cora.  About half way through, she switched to one of her new Nu-West/Leda hairbrushes.  At first she hesitated a bit but soon she was back into her rhythm.  When Cora spanks along with music, she tends to accentuate her strokes more than she does without music (although I think she held back a bit with the hairbrush - Honey, you need to not hold back and just let go!).  I was definitely getting a thorough spanking. 

After I had resigned myself to getting a spanking from Cora, I just surrendered to her.  The position I was in over her lap with plenty of room on both sides of her was incredibly comfortable.  I just laid there and let the spanking sweep over me.  Yes, it was painful (I can still feel the tingle this morning as I am writing this) but it was something that I really needed.  In fact it was very enjoyable.  I know that many of the men who get spanked by their Ladies, don't actually like the actual spanking part but for me it was great.  I found myself drifting into space, knowing that I was being spanked by a Lady who loves me and can tell what I need.

'Venus' is three minutes and six seconds long.  It was interesting that it began at exactly the time Cora began her spanking.  And she stopped just when the song did.  I think the chorus goes something like:
     I'm Your Venus ...
     I'm Your Fire ...
     At Your Desire

Well, Cora is definitely my Venus.  And it was indeed my desire that she be my fire.  That fire manifested itself in the redness of my bottom when she was done with me.  Oh how I Love Her!!!
