As many of you know, Backpage’s adult content has been censored, and they have been forced to take down any content related to the adult genre. You may see the notice posted by Backpage here.

The “buyer beware” caveat applied to any Backpage ad as it does to any online ad and response. Having said that, All Things Spanking knows that many of the advertisers who used Backpage are quality, reputable individuals or companies.

As a continuing service to readers, and as a means to help some of those caught in the vendetta against Backpage, we have initiated a new feature. In addition to our routine listing of Disciplinarian travel, we will now highlight (once or twice a month depending on response) their near term travel.

So, here goes with our late January 2017 edition of “Disciplinarians on the move.”
==============================================================
Jenn Davis of Seattle, WA, will have her eyes upon you in Dallas, TX on January 12 and 13.

Can those Texas tushies go beyond burnt orange to crimson red?

Jenn will then venture to Ft. Lauderdale on January 23 and 24 to bring her western swing to the southeast.

Dana Specht is a legend in the spanking community who has “long believed that corporal punishment is an excellent way to address unacceptable behavior in the life of adult men and women, a way to relieve guilt and reduce stress among those who understand their need to be disciplined by a true mother figure.”

Dana will judiciously evaluate any misconduct, and administer appropriate corrective measures. These typically range from old-fashioned, over-the-lap, bare-bottom spanking by hand, to the skillful application of the hairbrush, strap, paddle or cane.

Dana will be in Las Vegas from February 22 to 27 for the 50 Freaks Spanking Party.

Ophelia de Havilland is a UK-based Disciplinarian who “was born into a disciplined world. [Her] father was an aristocrat and ex cavalry officer, and extremely strict; it was common in families such as [hers] that children were seen but not to be heard. [She] had a Nanny, and it was h[the Nanny’s] duty to administer to all [Ophelia’s] daily requirements and to keep a firm reign on … behaviour. Consequently, [Ophelia] was frequently spanked from an early age until [her] early teens when Nanny was encouraged to use an extremely flexible boudoir cane.”

From such a disciplined upbringing was born a Disciplinarian who is cordial, quite communicative, but no-nonsense when it comes to handling naughty boys or girls. Ophelia is six feet tall, and has the ability to administer a memorable spanking whether by hand, cane, or other implement.

During February and March, Ophelia will be touring the United States. February stops are currently slated for Seattle (11 – 13), Portland OR (14 – 16), San Francisco (17 – 19), Las Vegas (20 – 21), NYC (22 – 26), and Dallas (27 – 28). As with any advance schedule, dates and cities are subject to change for a variety of reasons. Visit Ophelia’s USA Tour site often to remain up-to-date.
==============================================================

Sarah Gregory is a spanking model and Disciplinarian. After many years as a bottom, Sarah undertook her Top persona, and began administering discipline. She now considers herself 50/50 switch. Sarah adheres to a philosophy that many spanking enthusiasts espouse. That is that they can be effective Tops as they know what implements feel like, how it feels to be draped over a stern lap, to be bent over a chair, and what makes a good spanking for them. Hence, Sarah feels better equipped to give to others what they crave when it comes to receiving a spanking.

Based in Hartford, Sarah travels, and is pleased to meet with others when her schedule permits.

Sarah will be in Las Vegas February 22 – 27 for the 50 Freaks Spanking party.

Review Sarah’s travel page or email her at sarahgregory02@gmail.com for additional information or to inquire.

Cassie Hunter (The Hunteress) has come out of retirement much to the glee (or perhaps discomfort) of deserving subjects everywhere. She posted in her recent newsletter:

After more than a decade of Super Domme Service (yes I thought I was going to retire too, but it seems my loyal subjects in every corner of the globe cannot replace me!) I have decided to come back on the scene. Alas my life has moved on from the United Kingdom so I am now permanently based in Asia.  I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to return to the scene at all, I don’t really need to; but I have had so many emails from people declaring how much they missed me, that I decided to come back, albeit with a premium service. …

The Hunteress is available in Bangkok, Manilla, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Tokyo, and Sydney.

So, those of you looking for a memorable experience, follow the link to The Hunteress’ website, and inquire. What do you have to lose?

I am not sure who these Dominants are, but I am certain that the cane was applied with vigor.

Princess Ammy, a renowned Asian-based caner and disciplinarian, has announced plans for an outdoor event during her next visit to the UK. She posts:

A scream was heard deep in the woods. Looks like this event will happen. The private venue in North Kent has been found. It’s 100 pounds for up to ten people so 10 pounds each. I need volunteers who will organize the event for the afternoon of June 26. The idea is it’s for those people who are into outdoor play with a corporal punishment theme. My desire is tying someone to a tree and caning them. The ultimate would be six or more tied to separate trees. Any volunteers to be an organizer for this non profit event?

Follow the link for details.

Princess Ammy, caner extraordinaire, is about to embark on a month long journey through Europe. She will be burning buns along the way. Check our Traveling Spankers page or Ammy’s FetLife site for her itinerary. Be careful what you wish for. This delightful, erudite lady plays for keeps!

Many spanking enthusiasts feel that this thing we do (TTWD) is a standalone kink divorced from BDSM. Others feel it is a sub-genre of BDSM. Regardless of your take on adult corporal punishment (CP) and spanking, it is clear that BDSM and spanking are becoming more mainstream and accepted. Many concepts and safety issues apply to both BDSM and spanking. Both are enjoyed worldwide as evidenced by the following recent articles related to practices in Japan and India.

Follow the title links to read the entirety of each article.

From Youth Ki Awaaz (YKA):

I Peeked Into India’s Secret World Of BDSM, And This Is What I Found by Shambhavi Saxena

… “As with the LGBTQ community, people think BDSM is a curable disease rather than an orientation,” … And this is four full years after the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) rectified this view. In the same vein, … many people assume kink is connected to childhood abuse, which then manifests as ‘sexual perversion’ in adults. …

From The Daily Beast:

Is Japan’s Naughty Knotty BDSM Scene Too Dangerous? by Jake Adelstein

… There’s a saying in Japan, Nama byoho wa kega no moto. That is, Half-baked knowledge of the martial arts is the cause of great injury. …

Miss Juliette is a Los Angeles-based Spanker. She recently agreed to chat with us, and we are so pleased that she did. Erudite, well-spoken, and quite adept at delivering the type and severity of spanking required in any situation, Miss Juliette opened our eyes to many things. And, yes, “Juliette” has an “e” at the end despite the space-mandated truncation imposed by FetLife where it appears as “Juliett.” As Miss J said to me, ” … It has gotten many a young man like yourself in some trouble. My advice: ” Don’t forget that “e” … or do forget it! Be careful what you wish for.”

You may read more about Miss J or contact her via her FetLIfe site or email.

ATS: You have stated that you consider yourself a “therapist of sorts.” Many disciplinarians are now becoming involved in “life coaching with a twist.” This is a growing segment of our community. Could you comment on how that is done and received by the client? Are most clients receptive to this, and do they respond well? Are the issues being addressed generally corrected?

Juliette: Every situation is different, but generally speaking:

1. Client has goals. A to-do list is generated from those goals. Some goals are huge like “Get healthy” and others are a one item to-do list.
2. Disciplinarian holds client accountable for those goals. This involves communication, scheduling meetings, and updates.
3. The severity of the discipline is married to success of achieving those goals.

Everyone can benefit from having a coach. The world’s top achievers have coaches. As a life coach, I don’t always tell you what to do, but I do expect you to stay accountable for the goals that you set for yourself. As humans, we all have a need to progress, to create meaning in our lives. My meaning is helping people succeed, and helping them correct course when they don’t.

ATS: Is your enjoyment for administering real discipline connected to the coaching? What is it about this aspect of spanking that attracts you?

Juliette: It’s the connection that I crave. There’s a give and take that can only happen during an OTK spanking.

ATS: You lead the FetLife group Professional Disciplinarians and Life Coaches. How is this going? Are Disciplinarians and clients better able to communicate and share ideas given this group?

Juliette: It’s going great, but I’d like to see more involvement from the client side. I think most Disciplinarians are natural communicators.

ATS: Like you, I grew up in the South where spanking was part of the culture, and expected. Aside from spanking friends as a kid, what other things did you do to engage or entertain your interest?

Juliette: There are things to do other than spanking?

ATS: Fair enough, Miss Juliette. You began honing your skills at a young age. Moving on now. There are many positions in which to place a spankee to access the “target.” Which are your favorites? Why?

Juliette: OTK is my favorite. I like the connection and feedback I get from that. However, it’s limiting in terms of leverage. So, I will often sit upon a squirmy spankee, which tends to keep them in line. I’ve also been known to grapevine legs to keep them exactly where I want them. One of my favorite positions involves placing the spankee’s head between my calves, with the bottom raised high in the air. It’s a very submissive position to be in, and difficult to maintain. It’s not for everyone. In fact, I use it sparingly. It’s a privilege I’ve only offered a select few.

ATS: What are your favorite implements?

Juliette: I prefer wood above all else. It’s hard, unyielding and predictable.

ATS: For sure, Miss Juliette. A good spanking with a wooden implement leaves no doubt.

ATS: Many enthusiasts believe that a disciplinarian should know what each implement feels like, and experience a spanking with it. Although you are strictly a spanker, have you felt your implements? Could you elaborate on why or why not?

Juliette: I think that’s absurd. Does a heart surgeon need to have a heart attack to know how to operate? Does a therapist need to experience every form of tragedy to coach a client through theirs? Of course not. What a disciplinarian needs is a basic understanding of human anatomy, especially the specific location of kidneys, tailbones, and the difference between hip flesh and butt flesh. She needs a basic understanding of physics; where to stand when delivering a paddling to ensure even application. How a cane works. How to hold a belt to keep it from whipping around and bruising hip flesh, or heaven forbid, hip bone. She needs a certain amount of physical stamina to lift her arm over and over and over again for each individual swat, especially for an OTK spanking, where gravity is not on her side. She needs to be observant, to see if her spankee is in the right emotional state. She needs to be a good listener because every client is a different person with different needs. And most importantly, she needs a heightened state of self awareness. No two clients receive the same spanking, but I still spank the way I want to. It’s a balancing act, my needs and their needs. A disciplinarian has to know when to finish. A spanking, a session, or an arrangement.

ATS: Have you done videos? Any plans to do so? Where might one see or obtain these?

Juliette: Ha! You wish. No videos. Never. My privacy, and that of my clients is of utmost importance to me. Perhaps you think all sessions are ” Whack, Splat, Thanks for that” (I just made that up right now. Yes, I’m a genius). I have a few clients, many of whom are high profile, who book me for days on end, or longer. Now, don’t go getting any funny ideas, it’s just spanking, talking and eating. The last thing my clients need is to be seen at a restaurant with a well known Disciplinarian. They can introduce me to their friends, colleagues, or what-have-you, with complete confidence that their privacy will remain just that.

ATS: Do you travel away from your home to spank? Where do you go? Any plans to do so?

Juliette: I LOVE to travel. I have a few clients around world who fly me here and there for some proper discipline. I’ve been all over, but Dallas, Vegas, and Chicago tend to be my hot spots. I have plans to head to Kentucky for the first time coming up. I want to be clear about the fact that I don’t accept sessions with everyone who solicits me. I have a very narrow set of interests, and no amount of money will entice me to bow my boundaries. Having said that, I have been known to offer discounts, and even prepaid block sessions to those who have financial need, and show a commitment to improvement. I figure if we BOTH invest in your success, then we both succeed.

ATS: Do you remember the first adult spankings you gave? What were they like? Could you tell us about them?

Juliette: I do. They were epic. Tears and recriminations, and millions upon millions of encores.

ATS: Do your family and vanilla friends know what you do, and what do they think of it?

Juliette: The majority of my friends and family do. My mother – she is so funny. First, she’s a stunner. Beautiful, smart, and sweet. She suspected I was doing something off the beaten path (so to speak!), but had no idea what. She sat me down and told me she was a flower child, and didn’t mind if I was making love for money. Now normally I get really offended when someone calls me a whore, but Mama is a charmer. So after I dried my tears of mirth and thanked for the belly laugh, I explained to her that I am a Disciplinarian, which is kind of like a dominatrix, but without all that annoying leather and horse whips. In fact, I told her, I bill myself as a “rent-a-mom”.

As years went by, I was happy to indulge her curiosity. Finally, one coffee date, not too long ago, she told me a story about her short stint as a professional Disciplinarian. She was a taxi driver, back in the day, and a fare offered her an enormous sum of money to cap the trip off with a spanking at his place. Mama’s an open-minded soul, so she gave it a try. I have never been prouder of my Mama.

ATS: What do you like about spanking? Dislike?

Juliette: Everything. Nothing. I don’t think I understand the question. What is there to dislike about spanking? Other than it really makes me hungry afterwards. Hence the “no pictures/video rule” because I have to eat, and I prefer to eat without random strangers begging me for spankings. Which they would if they ever saw my face. I just have a face that makes people want to be spanked.

ATS: Is all of your work related to corporal punishment, or do you also practice broader aspects of BDSM? What might those interests be?

Juliette: I’m not into BDSM. I do, however, love a good foot massage, and I also have a few cuties who come clean my house, and wash my car for me. It’s been a while, but I’ve had a few transitioning clients. The focus with them is on spanking, but with different goals. Although, now that you bring it up, I look really good in leather pants. But I always wear a nice dress.

ATS: Miss Juliette, I imagine you look nice in anything you wear, and are quite effective when administering a spanking in any of it. Again, interested parties may contact you via your FetLIfe site or email.

Thank you again for your graciousness in granting this interview. “Keep those paddles popping!”

All Things Spanking has converted its Thursday Thoughts feature into a new column (Disciplinarian Discussion) that will run on a regular basis. Disciplinarian Discussion will feature posts from various Tops, bottoms, models, etc. who will comment on areas of particular interest to them or their unique expertise. As always, questions from readers are welcome (send email), and we will forward them to a guest writer to be answered. As with Thursday Thoughts, these posts will be archived on our Guest Writers page.

Our initial guest is Miss Sultrybelle, a Glasgow-based Disciplinarian who has a reputation for being a “hard and accurate corporal punishment” practitioner. From reviewing a number of the clips she has posted, I can attest to her proficiency and power. I can also attest that Miss Sultrybelle is an extremely pleasant, responsive person who has been kind to All Things Spanking over the years.

Miss Sultrybelle’s observations are on caning, and her approach to it. You wanted a discussion of aftercare from a proficient caner?

There are many skills needed to be a good top, one of the most important in my opinion is being able to read the physical reactions of your bottom. The more times that I play with someone the easier it is to read them. That is why I generally play softer and less intense the first time. Over time, I will build up the intensity of each session.

Every stroke is measured and planned; from the distance I stand from the bottom to how far my arm will stretch out once fully extended. I take a lot of pride in CP. These are my personal high standards.

I prefer to cane from cold with no warm up, but I will only do it with consent. In many sessions, I spend a long time slowly building up before I use decent force. In some cases, I will never use much force as the bottom is not ready for it or has realized through previous experiences that they are not into heavy impact play. Many people have admitted that they seek me out due to my reputation for administering hard canings. I definitely attract masochists.

Miss Sultrybelle’s videos can be obtained at her Clips4Sale site. She also has a new website after being locked out of her old site for some unknown, non-communicated reason, and losing her historical content.
