Windsor Wednesday Classic – 154

For the first time yesterday when I was planning my upcoming trip to Japan I thought about this blog. I’m coming up on my 13th anniversary and I have the site until May. For the first time ever it started to come to me, how much longer will I keep doing this? My overall interest in spanking has virtually disappeared and it isn’t a passing phase,  it has been like this for the last three or four years now. Whereas at one time I would think about spanking 24/7,  I’m at a point now where I barely think about it at all. The interest is still there, but unfortunately my interest now focuses entirely on what I enjoy. That is probably why the spanking party scene is one area where my interest has really taken a hit. It’s not a knock on anyone other than myself,  I’m the one not moving with the times.

I’m pretty sure that it is my age, even though I am only 56 years old, but I also think that having lost my entire family has also had a profound affect on me. It’s the whole mortality thing, there is still so much that I want to do in life and there are far more yesterday’s than there are tomorrow’s. An aside to that is that it has also made me a bigger asshole than I was in the first place,  lol. I’ve never been one to want to hang around people who don’t want me around,  but over the last few years that has got worse. The things that perhaps would have been worth fighting for at one time or another have also disappeared. I’m at a stage now where all fucks have been given,  if my company isn’t good enough then nobody will ever need to tell me twice. That is pretty much directly tied to my family,  I know who was there when I needed them and I know who wasn’t. If there was any advice that I could give to anyone it is that you never know what someone is dealing with,  and sometimes what they are dealing with is more important than you are.

So where do I see the blog moving forward? Well it isn’t all doom and gloom,  I will almost certainly renew the website in May of next year,  and then of course my blog will be 7 months shy of 15 years in May,  2021,  so I would have to renew then,  so for sure this blog will still be around for the next two and a half years. Is there a shelf life though? I’m beginning to think that there might be. Unless the spanking fairy hits me with her magic wand and it rekindles my interest in spanking a few levels then come 2022 it might be the end of this site. I think that 15 years of dishing out spanking material is pretty decent.

Like I said,  there is nothing imminent,  we will still be here for a couple of years,  but at some point all good things must come to an end.

Now,  for those of you who have expressed an interest in my vanilla travels,  during the past week I have started to tell my Trip to Japan story over on my vanilla blog. Instead of posting it here I now have a forum where I can post details of my travels and not juggle spanking in between. However,  that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to spam my writings on this blog. So far I have the first 4 chapters of my Trip To Japan posted on my vanilla site and they are as follows:

Part 1: MY TRIP TO TOKYO  –  My journey to and my arrival in Tokyo.

Part 2: THE NARUKO TENJIN SHRINE  –  The first morning in Tokyo and my visit to the Naruko shrine. Pictures included.

Part 3: THE STATUES OF THE NARUKO TENJIN SHRINE  –  Nothing but pictures of the shrine’s statues.

Part 4: 13,000 R/T MILES TO SEE A BAND PLAY  –  I went to Tokyo to watch the band BiSH perform,  I wasn’t disappointed. Many photos from the shows.

Now onto the part that you all came here for in the first place,  the weekly Wednesday spanking photo.

It has been quite a while since I last posted a vintage BIRTHDAY SPANKING photo,  so why don’t I dive into that folder again. The image this week is from Merry Hill,  N.C in 1973. Not that the lucky lady seems to be fighting,  but I can count 8 people taking part in her birthday spanking. Now as you all know me by now,  I’m quite observant. Firstly,  it looks like a paddle is being used to give the birthday spanks,  so even used lightly it is going to give quite the sting. The main thing that I am noticing though is the length of the young lady’s skirt. The skirt is at the top of her thighs and accentuates her bottom quite nicely,  I wonder how many of the 8 participants thought of raising that tiny skirt? I mean,  anyone at the back end can probably see her panties anyway,  why not let everyone see them?

This will be added to my BIRTHDAY SPANKINGS folder.

  1. I appreciate your more introspective posts. I recognize what you are describing. Although we all have are own path, your trajectory is familiar to me. Subtle sifts in the inner landscape leave one changed in ways not expected. Notions which once seemed impossible now become ones bedrock. I only hope you are better able to navigate these swirls and eddies than I was.

  2. Richard – these are some complicated questions that I don’t think can be answered in a short space. Both “The Lifespan of Spanking Sites” and “Spanking Party Burnout” are topics I’ve addressed on the CSR Bulletin Board, and even so I don’t think they’ve really been discussed enough to disgorge the complete answers. You and I and Spankboss probably have the three oldest non-commercial spanking sites that come immediately to mind, and we’ve outlived countless others already. (Yours and his are the only others I even have time to look at any more). I’m a little older than you (first spanking given in 1965!) so I’ll try to offer some thoughts and encouragement.

    To begin with is the obvious fact of our age. Spanking, along with other erotic concerns, is going to be most important to young people. You remember how it was – and how difficult it was to procure spanking material in the pre-internet age! But of greater significance than how hard it was to find good spanking stuff was our own youth which made the idea of actually spanking a female about the most exciting thing imaginable!

    But that’s a long time ago now, in human terms. I hate most colloquialisms, but part of our present ennui is simply “been there, done that”. I have no idea how many women I’ve spanked, paddled, and caned over the years, and I doubt you do, either. We’re not kids wondering what it would be like to smack some girl’s fanny, we’ve actually done it! And done it enough so that we don’t really need to do it any more.

    Then there is the effect on spanking of the non-spanking aspects of growing older. We are at a time when we are enduring the accumulated loss of loved ones and youthful dreams, when the end is in sight and things that once were possible aren’t even remotely feasible any more. Next to all that, spanking must shrink in importance somewhat.

    Yet through all that we’ve kept up our sites longer than many others who are younger than we. That probably means something. I still want to do CSR although personal commitments make it more difficult now after fifteen years, and I don’t see myself giving it up. Perhaps you’ll find it’s the same with this blog – you may post less than before, and very probably spend less time searching for spanking photos, but when 2022 rolls around you decide you’ve still got a few things to say about spanking. And if not – well, nothing is forever, although I would seriously like to find a disciple to carry on for me with CSR after I’m gone.

    I think I’ll repost this on the Bulletin Board so we can maybe get more people involved with this topic.

  3. web-ed,

    The age is definitely something that I agree with. Many years ago I always wondered what happened with my Father when he lost all interest in things that he once loved, but now I am beginning to understand it a lot clearer. You are 100% right in regards to erotic concerns, spanking was always tied to that and as I get older obviously the need for stimulation has waned dramatically.

    The accumulated loss of loved ones has had a big effect on me, though perhaps mine is simply because I lost all remaining members of my family all within a ten year span, so it is really fresh and painful for me. I’m going to come through it I know, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that it has been a struggle. When my last brother died it also helped me understand who was there for me and who wasn’t, and I had to have some self reflection because the results were vastly different to what I thought they would be, and I was a bit taken aback by that to be honest with you. Perhaps that is also why the lifestyle has taken a bit of a backseat for me because, I don’t know, maybe I think that it is a bit superficial.

    I’m pretty sure in the active scene that I have done everything that I have ever wanted to do, in fact one of the last scenes that I actually did was so good that I was quite content that I had achieved all that I wanted to achieve. There are of course things that I still enjoy and would perhaps do again, but my need to play at parties no longer exists.

    The one thing that I am blessed with though is my youthful dreams, those I still have. There is going to be a timeline on what I can do over the next few years, but I’m in a position to do it now so I have to go for it. I’m going to spend a month in Japan exploring the south and west of that country, then I have an eastern European trip planned and then a year from now I will be touring Asia. Almost all of my current focus is on travel, history and meeting as many people from different cultures as I can.
