Spankos and subsets of likes such as bottom, breast and legs are all a part of a misunderstood community. We're lumped in with the the leather crowd. For s it could be slips,, pantyhose,uniforms, visible panty lines, school settings, cheerleaders of legal age . These were all discussed in print in my abnormal psychology book at university.
Then there's role/play. It's theater of the mind with real drama come to life.
Before the internet these fantasies existed, but were limited to the adult bookstores and mail order. Sadly, a vanilla who has no problem having the pain of needles continuously drilled into their skin looked down on a dear friend in the scene 'spanking between adults with a critical eye.
In closing, I would like acknowledge the efforts of the library who give us a place to express ourselves, contribute stories and most importantly communicate with others through comments. They make us all feel like we belong somewhere. Lastly, I would like to thank the pioneers who took me under their wing and helped me over eleven years ago to become a contributor with creative stories and inspiring comments. That is how we thank those who have passed and those who took us under their wing. That's why I spend time to comment on many stories like past members from Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. I try to acknowledge as an author, 'Cherry Red' every comment a reader has contributed because that's how we all can give back to this amazing site. A site that doesn't make us feel like the word that got my dander up in the first place. |
