Vetting

What is vetting?

If you’ve been to a spanking party before, you’ve probably heard this term, and have probably even been vetted: it’s the background check done to keep everyone at the party as safe as possible.

But it’s not just for parties, this is good for one-on-one play as well. 

How is vetting done? What should you expect? Well, there’s many ways to vet someone. But we discuss a few tips that we’ve used, have seen used, and have been involved with in the past, for both Tops and Bottoms alike.

So, if you’re interested in attending a spanking event, or even hosting a spanking event, or even want to keep yourself safe in one-on-one play (and who doesn’t?), and want to learn more about the vetting process, we hope this episode will give you some good tips to get started.

A Mystery at Paddleford Academy

At a private school, contraband is discovered. The usual suspects are gathered and interrogated. Will they confess? Will they throw each other under the bus? And what consequences will they face?

Join us for another radio play, adapted by Lizzy, based on The Mysteries of Verbena House, a Victorian spanking novel in two parts by Etonensis. This book has some interesting history itself, including a connection to another famous holiday season author. 

What is Paddleford Academy, you ask? Well, we may shed some light on that as well.

If you enjoy this type of programming, let us know, and perhaps we can include more in the future.

Happy Holidays!!

PTSD and Spanking

Trigger Warnings: Trauma, War, PTSD, Childhood Abuse. 

PTSD – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – a condition brought about by trauma and diagnosed by a professional. Please reach out to a professional to be treated and diagnosed. 

We have the brave Mark, the Very Bad Boy, and a military veteran, joining us to share his experiences as a male bottom into spanking with PTSD. Mark shares how he worked with professionals to be diagnosed and begin his well-being process. 

Triggered by loud noises, Mark still enjoys his spanking, but it has been a challenge to work through. Mark shares his journey, how he handles his triggers and how he worked with a professional spanking domme to gently overcome his fears from childhood.

Fortunately for veterans in the U.S., the V.A. offers quality resources, you just have to be able to get through all the paperwork, and fortunately, they’ll also have someone to assist you with that  as well! 

Please be kind to those around you, we never know what someone is going through.
Please be responsible and seek help. We all have our own timelines, but we are still responsible for how we allow triggers to affect us. We can’t control who or what is going to trigger us, but we can choose how to respond. There are professionals who will work with you, either with your mental health or, potentially, even a professional spanker. 

Thank you to all of our service members!!

Consensual Non-Consent

How do you get to experience Consensual Non-Consent? 
After years of communication <3 
After reading the room. 
After working with your partner. 

What is it? How is it done? What does this complicated term even mean? This is definitely a level 201 episode. We encourage you to listen to our listed episodes below if we’re just starting in the scene. 

Definitely listen to this episode as well. However, be aware that this kind of dynamic and relationship comes with time – we do not encourage you to practice consensual non-consent for your first scene no matter how much of a fantasy it may be.  Fantasies are very different from your very first scene. Maybe one in a million Spankos have had their fantasy fulfilled in their first scene.

You may get the opportunity to practice CNC during organized role play at a party or perhaps even while in character with your partner. Please remember you can always advocate for yourself and use your safe word. Have some self respect and remember to enforce your boundaries. It’s your body – your choice. It is a Privilege for those to those who gained access to your body. A privilege you can revoke at any time.  Go and have fun and enjoy all the spankings.
