Do you sometimes need a break from spanking thoughts?

Yes.

My spanking thoughts sometimes get to the point where they're overwhelming. Sometimes it gets to the point where I am ashamed and disgusted by my interest and want nothing to do with it though that's a rare extreme. Most of the time it's like a hobby, something I think about when I've got the time and inclination.

Yes, I have had this feeling a few times. It's probably the ideal time to be on the receiving end...to cleanse and purify, to beat away the sinfulness.

Absolutely, but I find that VERY hard to do.
My obsession with spanking has screwed up more potentially good
relationships than I care to count.
I find it very hard to share my "secret".

At times. But then I purchased Kindle and ready access to hundreds of thousands of books at my fingertip, intruded a little, ok a lot in my Internet time which included BL and LSF.

It helps having a job! If I didn't, then I think I'd have to introduce some kind of spank-rationing! Someone once said, "What you focus on, expands" meaning (well, yes, that too!) that the things we think about grow in importance for us, and those thoughts breed more thoughts, ad infinitum... so what is already an alluringly enticing and often feverishly exciting topic (spanking) can become an obsession ... which may, for the sake of balance (always healthy), require some curbing occasionally ... or else! (Damn! There I go again)

It certainly does.

When the blogging gets too much I go on fictional holidays. So far I have been to St Lucia and Guadeloupe! Allegedly! Whereas in reality I am stuck in rain-soaked England!

At the moment I am in the middle of a huge obsession, and I have to agree with the english Master, thank heavens for work! I often feel I need a break, and I've tried various forms of thought control, but they never really work for me. I guess I rarely want a break, but I do feel I need one. It's good when other absorbing demands are being made on me. We've been going to a lot of live music recently, and that certainly provides an alternative. Except that we spent a weekend at a folk festival and now in my head I'm doing versions of some favourite folk songs a la fessee.
Actually I also agree with markomat: I'm afraid of screwing up my relationship with my lover

A break? Goodness me no!!

I try to come to the library every day. Lately I haven't stayed long due to things changing at home with my son getting back to his old self. I guess the time away from here is enough of a break, but I can't just stay away altogether. Well, maybe on holiday/vacation. I hope to start writing again soon.

There's enough going on in my life at the moment that I don't need to consciously take breaks from spanking thoughts. My mind is getting plenty of exercise on its own.
