Elizabeth showing off . . . her hair
This was written in 2005 and first posted on bondage.com.
For the last few months I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Elizabeth Carson, who uses and abuses my ass for our mutual pleasure. Not long ago, she wanted to paddle it hard. This post is centered on two sound clips from that paddling, each just over a minute long, which I have combined in the sound file that plays on this page.
An important point for newcomers to this delightful activity is that this is advanced play. Elizabeth and I are both very experienced, and this was our third encounter. When the bottom is inexperienced, or simply has a lower pain threshold, Elizabeth would never use this kind of a heavy paddle, turning instead to her hand and the milder implements that are less punishing. So, if you are intrigued by being spanked but this particular scene sounds scary, remember that Elizabeth, like all competent tops, tailors the spanking to the bottom. Well . . . let’s say she doesn’t administer *much* more pain than you can bear.
Shall we begin?
Elizabeth had already hand spanked me and then used a crop, a cane, a loopy johnny, and a dragon’s tail on my suffering ass and thighs. At this point she decided to paddle me, and our story begins here. To set the scene in your mind, Elizabeth looks gorgeous in black leather, her pretty face sometimes bright with pleasure, sometimes frowning as she ponders, “The crop or the cane?” Then smiling again as she says to herself, “Of course, first the crop, then the cane!”
I am dressed for the occasion, wearing the outfit Elizabeth likes best, the one I was born in. I am bending over her spanking bench, a padded item about the height of a sawhorse that gives me something to rest on. I am not tied. The room is warm yet I am shaking.
I recommend you listen to the sound clips first before reading the rest of this post. If you can play them but have trouble making out the words, I’ve included a transcript toward the end of this post.

Sound clip notes
I have three pages with sound clips
Pages 1 and 2 each have short segments from the paddling with transcripts
Page 3 has the complete paddling, but it will take longer to load
Take your pick!
To better understand these clips it will help to know that Elizabeth and my relationship is based on spanking, not sex. She’s married and she doesn’t have sex with her BDSM partners, although I had privately been thinking it would be lovely if she would play with herself during a scene. I knew the chance of it happening was close to zero—maybe even less than zero—and I took a gamble by mentioning the possibility, but that’s me all over, I am always drawn to the risky path.
Technique note #1, listen to how she alternates talking with whacking, and how the whacking itself is by turns more or less severe. The first part of the sound clip describes our playful entry into this part of the scene. This isn’t real role play, it’s all in jest, but it keeps the communication going between us and gives her a continuous read on how I am doing. I love the banter here about how many whacks she’s going to give me and whether or not it will make her aroused.
The second part of the sound clip takes place about five minutes later. Technique note #2, she responds to my suffering by telling me how much she is enjoying it. Tops interact with their bottoms in many ways in scene; some are cold and silent, some scold and belittle the bottom, etc. I personally tend to be encouraging, saying things like “I know that hurts a lot” in a sympathetic tone of voice, or “You’re doing great” (meaning, “Hang on, I’m not done yet!). There isn’t one right way, but most bottoms have likes and dislikes in the matter and a competent Top knows how to vary his or her verbal play to suit the bottom. Elizabeth emphasizes the pleasure she derives from my pain. I find this tremendously helpful, it’s comforting and encouraging to know that one of us is enjoying it!
There is also an important technique point that is implicit. This paddling came at the end of a long scene, so I was very well warmed up. It’s impossible to overemphasize the importance of warmup . . . it’s the royal road to spanking bliss, without it there is no way I could endure a paddling like this. Even with it, I’m sometimes hanging on by my teeth. Thank you, Elizabeth!
