Practical guide to meeting a spanking partner!

Hello dear readers- I have returned - albeit for as long as my schedule allows, after a long hiatus. I have noticed my list of subscribers has grown - and I feel I owe it to them to generate a good post from time to time.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying the nice weather - we certainly had a better spring up here in the Northeast than last spring / early summer with all that rain. Here's wishing for a great summer!

Anyway, today's topic is a practical guide to meeting a spanking partner. It's my hope that those reading may also post their thoughts / experiences with respect to finding that special top or bottom.

For many, this list may seem fundamental, but for all intents and purposes people, finding a person who shares this interest does not obviate the basics when it comes to general etiquette and communication skills.

• Be polite - people into spanking are not devoid of feelings and general wants and needs.
• Don't be presumptuous - just because someone shares this interest, does not necessarily a match make.

When posting an on-line profile:

• Share some general interests about yourself. The spanking world is a wonderful one, but when a delightful bottom or heavy hand is attached to an interesting person - it makes the whole interaction far more exciting and meaningful.
• Don't oversell yourself. People are generally distrustful of folks who sell them hard-- be direct enough to get your point across (assertiveness is good) but not too pushy to look like a brute.
• Have a "recent" picture available. Come on people, it's 2010-- if you don't have a picture - you're either hiding something or not very serious about your interests. (Note: discretion is understandable for some people, so be patient with those who may be apprehensive to send out pictures with steamy e-mails until a level of trust has been established.)
• Do NOT assume because a person wants a spanking they are seeking to be a slave, slut or have low self esteem. It's certainly true enough that spanking is part of our sexuality, but express your limits / expectations with all of this.
• Be HONEST about your intent. There are a TON of time wasters and wankers on-line- and it's OK to be curious, but do not mislead.
• Network and discuss your interests with others who share in this interest.
• Be creative - for many the spanking experience is equals parts emotional / physical. In my experience females migrate to gentleman who are well directed, have a good vocabulary (communication is a MUST) and understand the emotional bond that comes with discipline. One word solicitations are about as thought provoking as "nice cakes baby".

Finally, HAVE FUN and when considering a real time meeting - ALWAYS choose a public place that allows either party the ability to bow out in the event that one person misrepresented themselves or their interests.

I'd also like some input from my dear readers with respect to compiling a list of sites that may have a personals section where spankos can meet.

Bottoms up!
