Aunty Agony

There is often a great deal of debate in spankophile circles around what is and what is not spanking. Of course, the dictionary definition talks about "slapping the buttocks," and some people stick to that description no matter what! Take this comment posted in response to a drawing of a girl tied down and tawsed on Spankingblog a couple of days ago:

"It seems to me the meaning of 'spanking' is being stretched beyond definition. If canings and tawsings and such are called 'spankings,' what would you call whippings or floggings? And the illustration ... also depicts bondage. This is 'spanking'?"

Well, like everything else, spanking is in the eye of the beholder. In fact, Aunty was most surprised to see someone even suggest that bondage and spanking should absolutely be separate.

From the time Aunty first began thinking about spanking, she would imagine a pretty boy lying across a bench or chair, tied down to help him maintain the expected posture.

Conversely, when Aunty is on the receiving end of a spanking, she prefers not to be restrained in any way, taking pleasure in the sheer will-power required to stay in "bottom-well-presented" position.

All that being said, Aunty was totally thrilled by the above picture found at Dallas Spanks Hard. It shows an achingly pretty girl, with bright red-bottom, her eyes smudged and puffy from crying, tied securely to a bench. These are ingredients that make spanking magical for Aunty.

Of course there are other intriguing spanking scenarios. But this picture comes closest to what your Aunty considers spanking.
