A Great Spanking - And Maybe More - LOL

I asked the Duke for the spanking I said yesterday to you guys that I needed, and then for the first time in a while, I felt all stupid for having to ask for one because it's been so long since I've needed to ask for one.  Like, well over a year I think because it was just impossible to find a way to do them with out little one being so clingy.  I'm 39, shouldn't I be able to get my crap together and not need to go to him for stuff like this?  Shouldn't I be grown up enough to be able to handle my world and not need rescuing?  I know I find some of my responsibilities overwhelming, and I spend the day in "decision and control" mode, but shouldn't I just be okay with that and put my big girl panties on?  So I ended up embarrassed.  So I took my request back.

Me - You know what?  Forget I said that?  Really.  I'll be okay.
Duke - No, if you need one, you're going to get one.
Me - No, I'm good.  I just need to admit I'm adult and suck it up.
Duke - You're still getting one.
Me -  No, it's okay.  Thank you though, but I just need to remember I'm 39 and act like it.

30 minutes later, with little one squirreled away at the other end of the house with my Dad, the Duke comes into our bedroom where I'm doing something.

Duke - Over the bed.
Me - No, it's okay (I didn't say this disobediently, just honestly trying to tell him it was okay.)
Duke - Over the bed.
Me - But, really...
Duke - Over the bed (now said very firmly)
Me - Sigh (and I put myself over the bed, desperately needing this, and sad that I do)

He brings my shorts and panties down once my butt is up in the air.  We don't really talk, we both know why we're there.  He uses the flogger I made a week or two ago that I showed you guys.  I now realize he was being gentle in testing it out before, because now it's biting into my skin, and when he purposefully hits the same spot several times, it becomes unbearable.  Still, I hold my position. 

That is until my skin starts raising in places and the Duke starts to run his fingernails over the raised patterns.  Have I told you that that is a new thing of his the past several weeks?  And have I told you I am the worlds most ticklish person in the world?  I CANNOT keep my position if he tickles me.  When I am tickled, all my breath leaves me in one fast exhale, and instantly my body jerks away and tries to breathe air back in and I can't.  If left like this for even five seconds I get an instant migraine from the desperate fight my body does to bring air back in.  Thankfully the Duke knows this, and stops well before the 5 seconds.  

And then back to the spanking.  Harder, and his aim is getting more direct, he's quickly learning how to control the flogger, and my bottom is paying for it.  And then, our little one's giggle outside our door and we stop, dead still.  She and my Dad go into her room, which is right next to ours with very thin walls.  Unspoken, we know the spanking cannot go further.  I ready my heart, knowing it didn't release, and there is no choice but to stop.  A heaviness sits there.  I would get up, but I am still busy processing for a moment.

Somehow the Duke must have known I needed more, even though we couldn't use even our quietest implements.  So, he gets a plug, one I don't feel emotionally ready for, and somehow he can see that too.  He talks me through taking it, it's large, it's metal, it's cold, it's unyielding, and he keeps talking to me and soothing me, and my submission emerges beneath his ministrations.  He says comforting words of encouragement that I can do this, and praises me as I accept this, his will over mine, and I start to find my sweet spot of peace, accepting that I am his, and he's going to take care of me.  It finally slides into place and all my control evaporates.  I let it go, and just sink into the moment. 

Afterwards he rocks my world with pleasure, an unspoken command that I am to remain completely silent.  And I do.  Thank goodness our bed doesn't squeak!  And I sit there afterwards, in the glow of being shown how much I am his, and how much he has me, and then look at the clock.  Shoot, it's the EXACT minute we told my Dad we would be out by.  I sigh heavy and rush to find my clothes because the Duke has tossed my underwear and shorts and I can't see where.  Finally I find them in the now messed up bedding.

I leave, the Duke cleans up the toys and puts them away, and then comes out into the living room.  I scoot down from my place on the edge of the sofa, he takes it, and then I lean into him.  Needing just a bit more of his strength.  His arms go around me, and helps me sink even further into the freedom of letting go and giving control to him.  I went to bed happy last night. I felt this morning a bit jipped over the spanking having to end.  But in writing this all out, I'm reminded of all that happened, and that jipped feeling is completely gone.  I needed to have control taken from me last night, and the Duke thoroughly came through.  I am so blessed.

Oh, and it wasn't until AFTER all this that I remembered to tell the Duke about what my Dad said.  So we talked about what either of us would say if it happened again.  The Duke also said last night that he'd like to write on several of my posts each month again like he used to!  I can't wait.  I love seeing on the screen what he thinks.  Things he doesn't always think to share with me because it just doesn't come up.  So I'm excited. :)  It always brought us closer together.  This post though he said I could write on my own. :)

The Duke Judged :(

The Duke doesn't know yet what I'm sharing here, I am still processing.  It's not that I am withholding information from him, it's just that I had to be out when he got home last night, something that very rarely happens, and then the little one didn't go down until late, and it slipped my mind at that point.  He's now at work, and this is not something I want to talk about over the phone on his breaks.

My Dad was talking to me yesterday about how late the Duke has been going to bed.  My Dad is great, but he seems to have not noticed that he too stays up late and that is how he knows the Duke does.  I said some nights I wonder if he's waiting for me to go to bed.  Usually I go to bed a lot earlier than the Duke, but every once in a while I stay up quite late if my head is bothering me, which it has been for several weeks now.  I do have a doctor's appointment this afternoon which I hope will help with this.

So I told Dad that the Duke knows he can tell me to go to bed if he feels I am keeping him up or he thinks I'm up too late for my own good.  To which my Dad replied quite snarkily and seemingly in anger. "Yes, but does the Duke have to go to bed when you ask him?"

I was upset.  My Dad knows I am submissive to the Duke, though he does not know to what degree.  He has no idea that in the past week alone I've been spanked, I've been plugged, and that I've had my wrists bound (not all at the same time, though that has happened in the past too.) :).  But he does know I let the Duke lead me, and that I will obey him.  My Dad has always thought this was good before, and never said a thing against it.  So this floored me.

But I was also upset because my Dad sees our relationship, and knows that in our marriage, the Duke is often an over pleaser, sacrificing much for my happiness, even when I argue with him that he's doing too much.  That my Dad would look at him in such judgemental light was completely unfair.

So later on I said to my Dad that I thought he was being unfair.  That he knows the Duke quite well, and knew that the Duke would do just about anything I asked of him.  He agreed the Duke would. Because the Duke is this way, I very rarely ask the Duke to do things that are outside of needs because I don't want to feel in charge, but he will almost always do something if I ask.  Yes, he demands things from me, especially my obedience, but he is even quicker to give than take in our marriage.

So tonight I'll talk to the Duke about it.  I don't want to.  I don't want him to know that my Dad thought such things.  But, it's in my rules that I have to discuss anything that is bothering me with the Duke so that I don't bear my burdens alone.  I'm glad I have this rule, even though it can be quite embarrassing at times.  It leaves me vulnerable and free and I don't have to go around carrying all this guilty weight on my shoulders.  I hope he spanks me, I have this guilt over me over all this, though I know none of it is my fault.  I just, need to have all this taken from me when I'm already dealing with so much else in my life.  I rarely ask for a stress relief spanking, but I think one is in order.  Now to get the time to do it.  I am hoping we can find a way tonight.  I just really need to physically feel the Duke's strength right now.

Anal Play - The Truths

This is not really a DD post, but since this area of our relationship has played such an important part of my submission and in turn has helped me in DD and D/s, I just really feel I have to share.  I do go into some physical detail, so please, if this will bother you at all, skip completely over this post and rejoin me for my next post which will be a normal DD post. :)  But this is heavy on my heart, and I feel the need to share. 

I read an article last week, and it has not settled well with me ever since.  It stated that after a study done of sexually active women, only 6% of women feel comfortable with anal activity, and that most said they weren't because of either fear, or past bad experiences.  My heart has hurt over this.  6% is a pretty small number.  I know the numbers are said to actually be higher in alternative lifestyles, so it's probably that DD and D/s couples practice a lot more than vanilla couples, so maybe everyone here already knows this.  I know I've read on blogs in blogland that several DD couples practice.  So if you love anal play, you may find this post boring and you'll already know the things I talk about. :P

Now, if anal is just not something you're into because it holds no interest for you, that it totally fine. :)  We all have our likes and dislikes, and they are different from person to person.  I never want to try to persuade you to think about something that you don't want to as I wouldn't want anyone to do that to me.

But, if you are afraid because of things you've heard, or it's been bad in the past, can I take a few minutes to talk to you about it in case I can help you at all?  You might still decide it's not for you, and that's okay, but I'd like to be able to help take the fear away if possible.  And if you have questions at the end, you can email me at the address to the right of my blog.  And if you're male and have questions, you can write the same address but put "The Duke" in the subject line so I can make sure it gets to him.

Anal play causes such a submissive spirit in me like nothing else does, and brings me such immense pleasure, that it just is something absolutely beautiful to me, and something I often even crave with every fibre of my being now.  Give me the choice of intimacy with anal play, or without, and I'm always going to choose with.  Always.

So, as most of you know, your bottom is used for relieving yourself in the bathroom.  But did you know it also has a lot of pleasure nerve endings?  These are the same nerve endings that run to the clitoris.  And that once comfortable with it, some women feel more pleasure over all in a sexual experience if anal play is done along with other sexual play?  Some women can even orgasm from anal play alone I have heard.  I can't admit to that myself.

But how do we get there?  How does being afraid of anal play turn into something we enjoy someday, and maybe even love?  I mean, the anus is tight, very tight.  Aren't we just asking for a world of hurt if we attempt to do anything other than pooping from it?  How does such a tight place go from barely fitting a finger inside to comfortably taking a butt plug, dildo, and maybe even eventually a man's genitalia?

Well, it's several different things, and I will try to make each one as easy to understand as possible.

First and foremost, you either need a partner that YOU COMPLETELY TRUST and is going to listen to EVERY SINGLE THING YOU SAY, and let you COMPLETELY SET THE PACE, or you need to be able to physically reach into position to try these things on your own.  If you can't trust, then this will probably be too hard because the key to anal play is relaxation.  If you're so tense that all you can do is clench, then it will be harder for you.  Nervousness is one thing, but you don't want fear.  If you're with someone who is just going to force you, that's probably going to hurt too, and we want to do this without it hurting you.

So, you will need at least one thing to start.  Lube.  When you are starting, you cannot use too much lube.  Have sheets you don't mind getting a bit wet with lube, or put a towel down.  If you're going to use any silicone toys, I suggest using a water based lube so that it doesn't start to break down your toys.  Metal and glass can use any kind of lube.  If it's plastic, and you're not sure, go with water based lube.  When you lube, lube the outside of the anus, coat the part of the item that will be inserted while making extra sure to leave where it will be held dry so it can be held well, and if you can comfortably fit a finger in, lube the inside of the anus as well. If lube gets onto the part of the object you will be holding, wipe it off with a cloth or paper towel until it's dry.

When you start, try to be in a position that naturally exposes your butt that you are physically comfortable in and won't quickly get tired in.  I find up on my knees with my shoulders to the mattress the easiest, or on my side with my knees about half way up between my waist and chest with my leg that is on top a few inches closer to my chest than my lower leg.  Find what works best for you.  If you find it too hard in one position, try another to see if it is easier.  Don't be afraid to try several positions.

Next, you want something long enough that you can firmly hold a couple inches outside the anus at all times, and thin enough that you aren't afraid of trying it.  My literal first thing I think we tried was a normal bic style pen without the cap.  We used the dull side.  Make sure whatever you are using is one piece, and won't break apart.  You don't want to risk losing something up there. ;) 

Make sure whoever will be holding the object has a good firm hold on it.  Lube can make it seem like the anus can take something in quicker than it can, so especially if you are using something that starts small and gets bigger the further you put it in, like many butt plugs, have a good hold so that you don't accidentally let it go in faster than you intend.

Gently push the object in.  The anus has a natural slant to it, as the anus directs the object into that angle, don't fight it.  Learn what that angle is so that you know with each new toy the best angle to insert it in.  If you fight this angle, it will only end up hurting.  If you are pressing in, and the object is not going anywhere, chances are you are going against your body's natural angel. Try pointing the object slightly toward the belly button if you are unsure.

Every time you insert something new, take your time.  Insert it SLOWLY.  As in it might take a minute or two, or even longer for each inch that goes in.  If an item widens as it goes in, you might want to pull out a bit, and back in a bit, slowly going further in every few times.  Once you can get the object in as far as is possible, or desired, move it around, twirl it, push it back and forth without it coming out, and you can try getting it out and in again too if you're comfortable.  Do this until there is no fear in you and you feel you can relax every muscle in your body.  If you're tense, try stimulating other sexual areas to help loosen you up, and maybe even make you crave what is going on back there.

Do not be afraid to work up slowly, in one session, or over several months.  Don't be afraid to only be able to advance up by 1/16th inch by 1/16th inch at a time if that is all that you are comfortable with, or 1/4 inch at a time if you are comfortable.  The goal is to set your pace by what makes you feel comfortable.  If you're afraid and can't relax, then you're not ready for the next step, and that is TOTALLY okay.  It is also totally okay if you only reach a certain size you can take, and you can't physically or mentally go larger.  Some people find that pushing out when they get to larger sizes than they've tried before can really help.  You use the same muscles that you would use to poop, pushing out in the same way, just not as hard as you would when going to the bathroom.

If you get to a point where it starts to be uncomfortable, you can ask yourself if you want to stop, or see if it will ease. If there is pain, always stop.  If there isn't pain, but you're scared at all, or wanting to stop, then stop.  You always want to be wanting to be there when doing anal play.  If you don't, it has to stop so that you're not against doing it next time.  Never allow yourself to get to the point that you'll never want to try again.  Even if you decide you never want to, don't allow yourself to get to the point that fear caused it.

Give yourself time, and allow set backs.  You may reach a goal you are really excited about in size that you can take, only to find next time you can't quite get there again.  It's okay.  You will get there again, but don't force it in if your body isn't able to take it.  And as you practice more and more, the more your bottom will be more likely to be able to take the same sized items every time.  Now this is if you're using things 1-2 times a month.  If you go several months without any anal play, you may have to go back a bit in sizes and work back up.

One thing we tried that we read once was once I was comfortable with a finger, the Duke then hooked it inside and imagined my anus was a clock.  He gently pulled at all 12 hour positions, gently increasing how much he tugged as long as I wasn't hurting each time he went around.  This may or may not work for you.

One note is that if you are using something like a butt plug, it will get smaller at the very end to help hold it in place.  You just have to relax again when it is taken out, and gently, and even more slowly than you put it in, tug to pull it out.  You can help push it out as well if you feel you can.

Over the course of time I was able to take anything the Duke wanted me to take, and it was all because he lovingly took his time with me.  He listened to every time I said I needed to pause, or stop.  He always trusted me to know what I could and couldn't take.  Now, I just relax completely when he asks me to do anal play.  I never tense at all now.  My body know instinctively that I'm going to enjoy whatever he decides to do.  I submissively climb into whatever position he asks of me, and away we go. I now go mad with anal play.  It drives me crazy with desire.  It makes me need and want the Duke with everything in me.  I absolutely love being in that place physically and emotionally.  I am not saying everyone will, even if they get used to anal play, but that is how it is for me.  I am so blessed by the connection it helps create between us.

An unexpected great benefit that we hadn't anticipated was that it helped the anal fissure I've suffered from since I was a child.  Knowing about it, and that it could easily tear as it often did, we took a lot of time getting me from taking something small to being able to do larger items.  Now, as long as we do anal play at least every 2-3 weeks, my fissure never bothers me.  Sometimes we forget and go longer, and then it can take a while to get back, so it's been great adding this to our lifestyle as a help to me. :)

Anyway, I hope that even if you never want to try anal, reading about this can help take away the fear.  Your body is beautiful, with so many ways to experience pleasure at the hands of the right person.  That article just made me sad as it shared so much misinformation that people have about anal play.  It isn't naughty, it doesn't have to hurt, it can be pleasurable, and it's okay if you learn to love it.  In turn, it's totally okay as well if it never floats your boat. :)

Bruises

I sit on bruises the past few days.  Which is funny, because anywhere else in my body I don't bruise, no matter how hard I've bumped or landed on something.  But here I sit, and proud I am. :)

It's funny, but that is how I feel.  Proud.  The Duke tried out the new loopy over the weekend, and when it bruised, I expected them to go away quite quickly.  But they haven't, and I'm actually glad.  I can feel his dominance every time I sit down or shift in my seat.  I feel his love and care and protection.  I feel owned, captured, secure, safe, and oh so deserving of his attention.  I think I will actually miss these bruises when they are gone... so then I may have to ask for some more. ;)

He didn't use the loopy hard, it's just that it hits such a small area, and he didn't do a warm up, that it just created a scenario for bruising... one I may ask him to repeat.  This wasn't a punishment spanking, it was just testing out the new implement.  I think I WILL have to HIDE it though next time I need a punishment just in case. :P

If you'd told me before DD, D/s, that I would be so proud of bruises, I would have said you were crazy.  And the funny thing is, now that he knows they don't scare me the few times they have happened, he too loves them. :)  Oh, that man of mine. :)

The Surrendered Wife Ebook on 80% OFF!

So, I can't remember who all has talked about the Surrendered Wife book by Laura Doyle, but I put it in my wish list a few years ago when a few different blogs were talking about it.  It has been $16.99 ever since, and I just can't put that into a book right now.  So imagine my surprise to see today that it was $2.99 Canadian!  It is $2.79 American.  I can totally afford that.  So I bought it just in case it's only on sale for a few hours, and will look at it this week to see if I will keep it.  If you want to get it, please check the price, as I don't know how long the sale is on for.

On Amazon.ca - $2.99 Canadian

On Amazon.com - $2.79 American

On Chapters.Indigo.ca - $2.99 Canadian

It is probably available at other stores too.  I looked at Barnes and Nobles, I don't have any experience with them, but I couldn't find it on sale there.

We have two other books on submission, but would love to hear of ones you've read and liked. :)  Have any books helped you in your dynamic, even if they aren't DD? :)

We've Been Through So Much Together! :)

I am reading the last of the posts I have to put back up that we took down, I will probably post them at the end of the week that ones we are putting back up.  Some, for personal reasons, we are keeping down, at least for now.  It was an emotional day rereading some of the posts.  These were posts about our son.  I will not be mentioning his name here, and ask you not to as well if you remember his name. :)  The posts with his name in them, and in many of the comments, I'm debating if we'll put back up because it would be easier for people to know who we are, and that matters more now that we have a little one to consider.  And speaking of her, I was also reading the post where we announced to you all that we were pregnant.  You all had so many wonderful things to say.  You guys have made us feel so loved and welcomed.

I just want to say thank you to everyone in this community.  To people that read here, and people that openly support us.  You have seen us through good spankings, and bad.  Through times where we just couldn't find out roles, to times we were really rocking our roles.  We just love being here.  Changes are happening in our dynamic, we're getting back to where we were 3-4 years ago, and it feels great.  I can't wait to be sharing it all with you guys.  You are one great family to belong to. :)  I am sorry that time does not allow me to get to many of your blogs right now, but it is my goal to strive for that more and more in the future.

Anyway, just, my thank you to you all for joining with us on this rollercoaster ride we've been on the past five years, and hope to be on the next fifty. :) - Just noticing now how MUCH I start either posts, or paragraphs, with the word "So."  SOOOO, lol, I'll be working on changing that annoying habit! :P

Quiet Tormenters - Part 2

So, as you saw yesterday, I bought a couple of quiet implements.  Today I was going through and putting up posts we took down a couple of years ago quickly, and am putting up only the ones that have no personal info.  In it I found the flogger I made.  Sadly, when we bought our own house, my parents had to move in soon after and we lost a lot of privacy.  Our items had to go into a shoe box in order to keep things hidden from them and the Duke's parents visiting often and using our room, and so we had to get rid of most of our implements because the shoebox just wouldn't hold it all and our other toys.  The flogger and loopy johnny were some that had to go.  So today I went to the store to find some rope, but I found none that were suitable.  So I got a fabric skipping rope. :P  And we had some left over line when I restrung our clothesline this summer, so I used it to make the loopy johnny.  I am putting a lot of trust in the Duke to use these appropriately to find which ones will work for us.


We need to find a few quiet implements, even one good one, because I'm needing more of the structure again, and he's needing to be spanking me more to feel his role.  He's craving our dynamic to return as much as I am.  This is very hard to do with several other people now living with us compared to just over three years ago when it was just the two of us.  We are between little one's room and my parents room, and even if we shuffled the rooms around, it would still be that we would be very easily heard. 

So we're finding ways to make this work.  Hopefully we don't get found out, and if we do, then I'll just lay it down for them and let them know that I need this, we need this, and if they can't accept that, then they can contact one of my siblings to live with.  I can't give this up.  It's been on the back burner for the past few years, and I need it back.  Sadly, yes, these look vicious.  But I am not sure I can find quiet implements that aren't.  I have considered a cane as well, but that just isn't in our budget right now. :P  I think the dowel in yesterday's post though is a good substitute. :P

And please forgive me if adding the posts back flood your feeds.  I have about 50 left to add, I really hope to do that this week so that you guys aren't bothered by the adding of them back anymore.

- I am writing again after the Duke tried these out.  The loopy left a couple of welts, and so I said I was going to unmake it.  The Duke was NOT impressed by that.  I said it hurt a lot.  And he said "Then you better make sure you never deserve it."  Eeek! Darn HOH hat.  Looks like he's found it again.  Why, oh why do I want this???  LOL

Quiet Torturers

So, was at a complete loss as to what to get the Duke for Valentine's Day.  I knew with help stepping up DD, and with it being hard with little and older people in the house, that it would need to be something we could do discretely.

So, I tripled our quiet implement collection.  The dowel in the middle is one we already had, it's 15 inches long.  The clear rod is a tilt wand (from mini blinds), and it's 12 inches long.  I wanted a longer one, but I couldn't find one longer that would fit into our little wood chest.  The last one is the plastic wand for a cat's toy.  I had to cut off the end to make it only 20-21 inches long so it would fit diagonally in the chest.  That one is springy, and is going to HURT!  The Duke tried one swing and I was in agony.  That one may just make a mistake and get lost, or find itself over a hot flame where it just melts into goo.  :P  Poor little thing. :


How was your Valentine's Day?  We didn't celebrate on the day because we were both sick.  Duke with the flu, me with a horrible migraine that actually sent me to emerg at one point this week.  Can't wait until it's gone.  So I gave him my gifts, but we're hoping to celebrate tonight with as long a date as we can be away. :)

Never Read or Saw 50 Shades of Grey

I have written posts, and deleted posts over the past month.  Not really sure what to write about because there isn't much going on.  We've all been sick.  Things are growing in our marriage again though.  The Duke is stepping up more, I'm giving in more.  I've had more spankings lately, all quick, and all to remind me he is in charge.  Only a couple a week, still way more than I was getting before.  I have a few rules being enforced right now because of health, and so far, I haven't had to be punished because of them.... lol, we'll see how long that lasts! :)

So I don't really have any great insights to share.  But I do have a question.  I have heard such mixed reviews about the Shades of Grey trilogy, and I wanted to see if anyone had read the books, or seen the movies?

From a DD or D/s point of view, what are your thoughts?  Part of me wants to check it all out, and part of me hears people talking about there being no consent, and so I would not be okay with that at all.  But maybe these are the same people who think there is no consent in DD.  Would love to hear your opinions, without stepping on anyone else's opinions.
