Announcing: Dana Specht Signature Paddles!!

The Very Beautiful Dana Spect showing off her new paddles.
(Posted with permission)

Cora and I have enjoyed meeting many people who share our passion in the Female Led Relationship Lifestyle.  Many are you, our treasured readers.  But occasionally we have been honored by getting to know some of the superstar celebrities associated with 'That Thing We Do'.

Recently we have had the honor to get to know Ms. Dana Specht.  I'm aware that most of you know her by her videos, pictures and her website.  Its almost impossible to browse some of the Female Spanks Male sites without seeing her beautiful face, sometimes dishing out some firm discipline to a naughty boy or girl.  She is truly an icon.

Well, not only is she beautiful and one of the most famous Female Disciplinarians on the planet, but she is also a very generous and gracious Lady.

Cora and I posted a story behind my reproduction of one of the 'OTK Spanking Paddles' that Nu-West/Leda made available during the mid 1990's in a post on January 5 of this year.  The original has shown up in many of the pictures of Ms. Specht and in some ways she is now associated with that paddle.  In that post we shared the story of e-Mailing Ms. Specht and asking her for the basic dimensions from which I thought I could reproduce it.  Instead of just replying with the width and length, she traced her original and went to the trouble of mailing it to us.

So tracing in hand, I went to work making some reproductions.  They are made out of 3/8 inch 7-ply birch plywood.  The stock I purchased at my local woodworking store allowed for me to lay out 7 of these paddles.  We kept 3, and shared a pair with James and his wife of the 'Spanked Male' blog.  The other pair went to Ms. Specht.  It was something that I felt I wanted to do to show our gratitude.  Happily when she received them she replied back that they were 'exact replicas' of the originals.  I had been able to reproduce one of her favorite paddles, which until now had been unavailable.

At the same time she graciously complemented me on my ability to reproduce the original paddles, she also asked me if I would be willing to make a batch of them for her to sell through her website.  At first I thought, "... it wouldn't be worth my time".  Making these (and other) paddles takes quite a bit of time as I tend to want them all to turn out 'perfect'.

I delayed my answer to Ms. Specht's request and thought about it.  Ms. Specht shared that she knew that many of her fans and clients would love to own one.  So after thinking about it, I decided to reply that I would consider making a batch and see what might happen.  Consider it my contribution to our passion for the Female Led Relationship lifestyle, since most of Ms. Specht's fans and clients are more into the F/M thing.  Its a comforting thought that some of the implements I made might be responsible for a woman to roast the backside of her naughty husband or boyfriend (or even girlfriend).

So now I am pleased to announce that Ms. Specht is now in possession of the first 'batch'.  And these paddles have her signature proudly displayed on the handle.  Indeed, these are a unique tribute to Ms. Specht, herself and now you can have one.  They will be offered though her website and I have added it to our list of 'FLR and Other Related Resources' which is located on the right side of our blog.

Well, at least until supplies run out.  Note that these are not mass produced but are hand made.  Its a process that involves no small amount of time and effort.  I won't go into the details of their production but just know that there is a very limited supply of them.

Before the first run was shipped to Ms. Specht, I was able to snap a few photos of Cora posing with them and just today, Ms. Specht provided a few pictures too.  So here are some pictures of Ms. Cora and Ms. Specht showing off the new paddles.  Indeed, its an honor to post pictures of these two beautiful women with the fruits of my labor.  I am sure that there are going to be some very sore bottoms out there as a result.

Spanked For Inappropriate Cell Phone Use

But Wait!  I don't even use a cell phone!

Here is the story:

Yesterday Cora suggested that we take our three pups to the beach for a walk.  We live just a few minutes from an area that is quite nice this time of year and there is a walkway for a considerable distance along the shores of Puget Sound.

So we packed up the 'girls', three very sweet English Springer Spaniels and headed out.  Once there we attached our leashes and Cora took 'Vixen' and I took 'Devi' and 'Gypsy' on a double lead.  Then off we went.

There is an area along our path that includes a number of benches and a community gathering center.  Its sort of the focal point of the area and on weekends there are lots of organized activities taking place there.  However, yesterday it was nicely quiet.  Or so we thought.

A man was sitting on one of the benches but it was perhaps 30 yards away from the route we were taking at that location.  He was engaged in a conversation on his cell phone and seemed oblivious to his surroundings.  Sitting next to him were his two dogs.

The rules of the City require dogs to be on leashes.  In fact he was complying with the rule but rather than holding on to the leads, he had them held under one of his feet, not exactly secured.  You can probably guess what happened next.

Now, our dogs are quite docile and they play well with others; both human and canine.  In fact children love to come up and pet them and they usually return the favor with a swipe of their tongues and a wagging tail.  However one of the dogs sitting with Mr. Cell Phone decided to charge our 'pack'.  Naturally, Mr. Cell Phone's method of securing his leashes did not hold and quickly we had two dogs coming at us. 

Cora is a natural 'whisperer' when it comes to animals.  She grew up around horses and actually tamed several of the 'trouble makers' at one of the stables near when she grew up.  And for a time she groomed dogs professionally.  Even the naughty ones.

So it was absolutely amazing to see her kick into 'prevent mode'.  She shouted at the top of her voice, not so much for what she said but to get the attention of the aggressive dogs.  They immediately stopped and what could have become a bad situation quickly came under control.  I am sure Mr. Cell Phone was wondering why Cora was yelling at his dogs as he seemed to not notice that his dogs had escaped his grip and were attacking our girls.  Instead he was still talking to whomever was at the other end of his conversation.

When the dust settled and we continued on our walk, I could tell that Cora was probably still under the influence of an adrenaline rush.  And she was quite upset and incensed at the rudeness of Mr. Cell Phone, not to mention his total incompetence at being a responsible pet owner.

As we continued our walk a gentleman who had witnessed the whole thing injected some (very needed) humor by remarking how you have to watch for those 'attack spaniels'.  We both broke out laughing and I think Cora had calmed down.

Well, calmed down enough to complete our walk.  As the evening proceeded I could tell that Cora was still upset and frustrated with the events of the afternoon's encounter with Mr. Cell Phone.  I know one thing that would help vent her frustration.

However, before I could be proactive, Cora moved to the center of our couch and grabbed hairbrush and small OTK Spanking Paddle which hangs from a peg on the table next to the couch.  Next she beckoned me over her lap.

Naturally I didn't hesitate and quickly placed my self in the classic OTK spanking position.  Next she bared my bottom by pulling down the shorts I was wearing.  Then she started to relieve her stress.

To say that the beginning of my spanking was a warm up might be a stretch.  She landed about a half dozen slaps to my bottom with her hand, then switched to one of her implements.

I'm not sure which one she started with.  Her hairbrush and OTK Paddle are actually quite similar.  The Hairbrush weighs only about 1/3 of an ounce more than the paddle but the paddle has a bit more surface area.  After switching off one or two times, she exclaimed, "I sure like this Spanking Paddle; its one of my favorites."  She then stepped up the spanking and her OTK paddle was landing with a quite pronounced 'Pop'.  I think she was using the wrist snap technique as the impact was quite pronounced - both in its affect on my bottom and in the audio response. 

Cora is quite accomplished at 'modulating' her spankings.  She knows how to read me and often seems to hold back just a little, especially when she is administering a 'good boy' spanking.  However, as she was vicariously paddling Mr. Cell Phone, (and perhaps with her inhibition level dropped by a couple of evening cocktails), she was really letting me have it.  I think I could even detect a slight whistle as the air passed through the holes in the paddle as it descended towards its target (me). 

Finally, Cora stopped.  Her frustrations had been defused and transferred to my (now) stinging bottom.  I am still feeling the sting today as I am writing this and there is still some redness.  Indeed Cora had administered a good, hard spanking - to me direct and symbolically to Mr. Cell Phone.

My own head space was in a rather unique place during the spanking described above.  Cora was neither angry with me nor administering one of her 'just for fun' spankings.  So the intensity was similar to when I have actually upset her and the spanking is for 'punishment'.  But I knew I wasn't being punished.  So I actually found the experience rather erotic.  The sting on my bottom, the sound of the paddle impacting, the whistle is it descended and feeling Cora's tension dissipate was very interesting, indeed.

And I know she enjoyed it too!

She Spanked Me ...

... Finally!  It has been a long time since she gave me a 'good' spanking but it ended what was quite a dry spell.

Its been two months (almost exactly) since our last post but we have been diverted by the mundane things of everyday living.  Like taxes, re-financing, and the many, many details related to the change in our marital status.  Boring stuff, so there hasn't been anything to write about.

Then yesterday, things began to pick up.  First, I had set myself up to be 'caught' first thing in the morning.  She did catch me but nothing happened.  However, in my early morning Internet searching I found some activity on 'FetLife' regarding some people who were attempting to organize a gathering (or munch) of some like minded people in our area.  What caught my attention was the fact that many of the people in the conversation were into the F/M side of things and two were women who identified themselves as women who liked to spank naughty men.

So I checked into their profiles and found that both had encouraged contact.  Since both Cora and I are interested in meeting others who are into the Female Led Relation lifestyle, I sent each one a message.  One of the ladies didn't reply until yesterday afternoon but I was able to exchange a couple of messages with her as she was on-line at the same time I was.

Not wanting to keep anything from Cora, I left my computer and went to where she was watching TV.  I explained that I have been corresponding with a couple of women who identified themselves as 'Spankers'. 

At first, she smiled but then scooted herself from her usual position on the far end of the couch to the center.  She then told me to grab her hairbrush and small OTK paddle from their pegs on the table next to the couch.  I guess she didn't wanted to be left out of the 'Women Who Spank Men club'.

I was then instructed to 'assume the position', which I did.  However, being in a slightly playful mood, I left the shorts I was wearing in their upright position.  Cora expressed her displeasure at the fact that I hadn't bared my bottom for her and I replied, "You do it".  After all, its something that I find rather erotic- to have your bottom bared by a lovely lady like Cora.

So, I raised up and she solved the un-bare bottom problem quickly.  She then delivered a few spanks with her hand. 

Of course those felt rather nice but it didn't take long for her to switch to her small OTK paddle.  And not to be outdone by women who we haven't even met yet, began to administer a paddling with no lack of enthusiasm.  After a sufficient number, she switched to her hairbrush.  She then went to work on my defenseless bottom.

Not having been spanked for a couple of months, my bottom was quite sensitive and I was Oooo-ing and Ouch-ing quite a bit.  However we both were laughing, too as this was definitely a spanking for 'fun'.  But don't get me wrong, Cora did deliver a very effecting spanking.  This morning I am still feeling the aftermath of her hairbrush and paddle and there is still a redness and a couple of marks.

Later yesterday evening, I returned to my computer and sent another message.  I included information that Cora decided to assert her authority and spanked me as a result of my 'flirting' with other women.  She replied that she was amused that I had written my last message with a sore bottom.  Of course I shared the entire dialog with Cora.  At this time we are working on setting up a time when we can all get together.  I am sure there will be more to follow.

Spanked For Being 'Too Geeky'

There was a time when knowing about math, electronics and things to do with science was looked upon as being 'uncool'.  In fact there was a term used to describe those of us who could be described that way: 'Nerd'.

Fortunately today things have come around, especially with the way we use technology today in so many things we do every day.  So the so called 'geeky' people are quite a bit more in demand and some even find that quality endearing.  I think Cora would not disagree that she likes that part of me.

Well, over the weekend, I was in my 'geek' mode much more than usual.  I was involved in being one of the instructors for a class in technology and when I retured home, Cora said that her internet radio wasn't working.  That meant re-setting our wireless router and going through a rather time intensive process of going through all the menus to restore our in-house network.  Not difficult but time consuming.

With all the preparation for teaching the class and having to face the failure of some of our own technology, I was so deeply engaged in 'geek mode' that I may have come across with an attitude that caught Cora's attention.  And an attitude that she thought needed her attention.

I went to work and an hour or so later things were working fine.  However, as soon as I announced to Cora that they were working again, she grabbed me and led me to a stool in our kitchen.  "Bend over and put your palms on the seat of the chair", she instructed.  She then bared my bottom and stepped over to her 'Rack' and grabbed the leather paddle, which she likes to start out with.  Soon I was feeling the leather being applied to my backside and the first vestages of a fire being lit in that location. 

After getting me 'warmed up'  (well, maybe 'warm' doesn't quite go far enough), Cora then went for heavier artillery.  Her next choice was the Spencer paddle (yes, the one with the holes) and I soon heard its characteristic whistle just prior to feeling the affects of its impact. 

Yeow!  But that wasn't enough for Cora to drive home her dissatisfaction with my attitude.  Her final choice was the PurpleHeart paddle.

Now, Cora doesn't often go for the PurpleHeart paddle as its one of our more 'intense' WAD's (Weapons of Ass Destruction) but it is one of Cora's favorites mostly just because it looks so 'pretty'. 

Well after she applied a number of strokes from it, I was feeling pretty sore.  In fact I can still feel its affects as I am typing this post.  Happily feeling its affects. 

Of course I couldn't disagree with Cora's assessment of my behavior.  I am just glad (and very lucky) that my Wife loves me enough to step up and hold me accountable when I need it.

We Loose One of the Pioneers - Ed Lee

My E-Mail has been filled with the news that Ed Lee, Owner and Producer of Nu-West/Leda passed away on January 6, 2013.  Rather than repeat the details, I would suggest you take a look at their website, Nu-Westleda.com.

I never had the privilege to meet him but he was very helpful when I asked for permission to post some of his pix.  He even designated Cora as an honorary 'Leda Lady', a highlight of our three years of blogging.

Rest In Peace, Ed

The Threat of Discipline

First, thanks to all who left comments and wished us well on our marriage.  We want to especially thank Hermione who featured us a couple of weeks back.  That was real special.

The Threat of Discipline

We have a cat.  Well, actually the cat lets us live at her house.  The Cat's name is Sheba and she has been with Cora longer than any of the men in Cora's relationships.  I hope that will change but Sheba has a dozen year head start on me.

 

Like so many of our Feline Friends, Sheba is very much her own cat.  And she thinks she runs things and should be able to do anything she wants.  Including indulging in the pasta that Cora just cooked.

Besides having me figured out and often knowing what I will do before I actually do it, Cora knows her cat, too.  So after preparing a pot of pasta, Cora set on the counter to cool.  Knowing Sheba, Cora covered it so it would be safe from little kitty claws and went off to another room for a minute.

Wrong.  Cora heard the cover moving and immediately dropped what she was doing, ran to the kitchen only to find Sheba removing the cover.  Naturally this angered Cora. 

Of course, we don't use corporal punishment on our beloved pets but sometimes a little discipline (or threat of discipline is needed).  In the case of Sheba, a small spray bottle of water works wonders.  Usually all that's needed is just to bring it out of the cupboard and make it visible.  It always works. 

So after this little incident, Cora decided to see what would happen if she 'threatened' me.  Cora walked over to her 'Rack' and pulled down the largest paddle.  She then turned to me and asked, "What would you do if I threatened you with this?"

Feeling a bit 'playful' I merely dropped my pants and bent over in front of her.  There is something special about presenting ones bottom for a little discipline.  Naturally, Cora responded with a rather hard swat of that paddle.  Then she gave me another one.  Ouch!  That large paddle packs quite an impact due both to its weight and size.

Mostly that paddle stays on Cora's Rack, probably mostly for 'show'. She does use it but its a rare occurrence. But this time we both had some 'fun' with it although I ended up with quite a sore bottom even from only a couple of swats. But we both had a great laugh over it and quite frankly, I loved being 'threatened' with it. I'm sure Sheba may not have seen the humor in it, though.



One thing for sure:  I am sure enjoying being Married to Ms. Cora!!!

Got Married, Got Spanked - Part 2

First, thanks to all who left comments and wished us congratulations.  We really feel like we belong to a tight knit community and it feels like we are among friends and family here in the blog-o-sphere.

So we left off with our Minister, Karina stating, "You may begin".  And begin we did.  After a quick pause to re-set cameras, Cora sat herself down in an armless chair that Karina had so graciously provided.  She then beckoned me to her with her crooked finger. 

Over her lap I went and Cora proceeded to lay that hairbrush on my backside.  As a courtesy to our Host and the couple who were our 'Best Man' and 'Matron of Honor', Cora left my bottom covered.  However, that did not deter her from a rather enthusiastic application of her hairbrush.

But rather than describe it, here is the video of it.  We were also able to include very special parts of the ceremony described in the previous post including the 'Passing of the Hairbrush'. You can view it in High Definition by pressing the little HD button located at the lower right side of the screen.  And the flashes that you see are from the Best Man taking pictures with my still camera.

So, thanks for letting us share this special time with you.  We feel so very fortunate to have been able to set things up the way we did and our very special thanks to Karina who not only willingly went along with our request but enhanced it, making our ceremony one we will remember forever.
