Handy Spanking, Behind the scenes & 3D VR

A daring newish site, well new to me but it has loads of good films and its very cheap to join. That’s got that bit out of the way but what’s it all about? Well it seems to feature two distinct things, hand held camera shoots and behind the scenes at spanking shoots. There are loads of hand held sequences taken from a number of different web sites, all in top quality and most in the MP4 HD format. Some of the films I have seen before on sites I am a member of but others are new to me, there are also a few of the behind the scenes variety.

I am always a bit sceptical with behind the scenes films, but I need not have worried. They are made during the actual filming sessions and apart from being quite funny in parts they also give a bit of an insight into the difficulty of shooting spanking films. On some films the cameras appear to have been mounted at the rear of the shooting area so they do capture all the shoot, on others the editor has taken segments from films, the bits that usually don’t get used and put them together into really interesting clips. So, I like the site and it does have loads of good films, no messing nothing fancy and it’s very cheap to join so take a look at handy spank cam.

The other quick mention is for Spanking Sarah who once again is doing something different, she has in her members area some FREE 3D VR versions of some of her films. Only a few at the moment but she says she is experimenting with them. I have some VR glasses so I was able to download and watch the films and they are very good quality and as I say they are free to her members.

Censorship in the UK a supposedly free country

The government’s proposal for age verification to access pornography is running out of control. MPs have worked out that attempts to verify adult’s ages won’t stop children from accessing other pornographic websites: so their proposed answer is to start censoring these websites.


That’s right: in order to make age verification technologies “work”, some MPs want to block completely legal content from access by every UK citizen. It would have a massive impact on the free expression of adults across the UK. The impact for sexual minorities would be particularly severe.

This only serves to illustrate the problems with the AV proposal. Age verification was always likely to be accompanied by calls to block “non-compliant” overseas websites, and also to be extended to more and more categories of “unsuitable” material.

We have to draw a line. Child protection is very important, but let’s try to place this policy in some context:

  • 70% of UK households have no children

  • Take up of ISP filters is around 10-30% depending on ISP, so roughly in line with expectations and already restricting content in the majority of households with children (other measures may be restricting access in other cases).

  • Most adults access pornography, including a large proportion of women.

  • Less that 3% of children aged 9-12 are believed to have accessed inappropriate material

  • Pornography can and will be circulated by young people by email, portable media and private messaging systems

  • The most effective protective measures are likely to be to help young people understand and regulate their own behaviour through education, which the government refuses to make compulsory

MPs have to ask whether infringing on the right of the entire UK population to receive and impart legal material is a proportionate and effective response to the challenges they wish to address.

Censorship is an extreme response, that should be reserved for the very worst, most harmful kinds of unlawful material: it impacts not just the publisher, but the reader. Yet this is supposed to be a punishment targeted at the publishers, in order to persuade the sites to “comply”.

If website blocking was to be rolled out to enforce AV compliance, then the regulator would be forced to consider whether to block a handful of websites, and fail to “resolve” the accessibility of pornography, or else to try to censor thousands of websites, with the attendant administrative burden and increasing likelihood of errors.

You may ask: how likely is this to become law? Right now, Labour seem to be considering this approach as quite reasonable. If Labour did support these motions in a vote, together with a number of Conservative rebels, this amendment could easily be added to the Bill.

Another area where the Digital Economy Bill is running out of control is the measures to target services who “help” pornography publishers. The Bill tries to give duties to “ancillary services” such as card payment providers or advertising networks, to stop the services from making money from UK customers. However, the term is vague. They are defined as someone who:

provide[s], in the course of a business, services which enable or facilitate the making available of pornographic material or prohibited material on the internet by the [publisher]

Ancillary services could include website hosts, search engines, DNS services, web designers, hosted script libraries, furniture suppliers … this needs restriction just for the sake of some basic legal certainty.

Further problems are arising for services including Twitter, who operate on the assumption that adults can use them to circulate whatever they like, including pornography. It is unclear if or when they might be caught by the provisions. They are also potentially “ancillary providers” who could be forced to stop “supplying” their service to pornographers to UK customers. They might therefore be forced to block adult content accounts to UK adults, with or without age verification.

The underlying problem starts with the strategy to control access to widely used and legal content through legislative measures. This is not a sane way to proceed. It has and will lead to further calls for control and censorship as the first steps fail. More calls to “fix” the holes proceed, and the UK ends up on a ratchet of increasing control. Nothing quite works, so more fixes are needed. The measures get increasingly disproportionate.

Website blocking needs to be opposed, and kept out of the Bill.

A look around at some spank sites

Well it’s been quite a week, loads of good new spanking content out there but I have as usual just picked on a few sites and taken pictures and text from them. For all these sites you can download direct from the web sites or you can go to This clips site where you will be able to not only download the full films but also get a look at some great free clips. I always think it helps if you can look at a clip first but I do understand why more web site owners are stopping clips on their sites. Anyway lets take a look.

Sarah Spanks Men

Part one of the film:This is a long story, Lola Marie tried to do my builders out of some money, she offered sex instead but it all went wrong and they ended up beating her and spanking her. I caught them at it and then I caned Lola. In this story you get to see the revenge I let Lola extract from these two builders who had taken advantage of this poor innocent girl. I let her use two different paddles on their bottoms till I felt they were sorry for their actions. Part two of the film:.Lola has given both Mike & George a very effective paddling but I am not satisfied. I can’t have men taking advantage of any of my girlfriends, not even if the silly girl was to blame. I will only be happy when these two builders have been really punished and that’s something I will take on myself. I select two canes, one thin and whippy the other thick and thuddy and I soon have Mike whimpering like a girl.

English Spankers

When Sarah employs a maid she expects her to work hard for her money, not to daydream and spend time talking on her phone to various boyfriends and what makes it worse she is moaning about her! In this household punishment comes swift and very severe as Jasmin finds out. Her long skirt and frilly panties are soon set aside, her bottom is spanked over tights before these are ripped apart and her bare bottom gets a hard paddling with a thin leather punishment instrument. This magnificent bottom turns red and Jasmin is one sorry girl. (I love this film, it has one of my favourite spankees Jasmine Lau and she really is good playing opposite Sarah)

Redstripe Films

Mr Loverage is not a patient man at the best of times and when his new secretary is persistently late he knows her needs to set about a program of retraining. This starts with a good hard over the knee spanking. Her tight skirt is raised and her panties removed so that she may feel every swat of his big hard hand, and she does. He leaves red marks that will be with her for days and a very sorry secretary. This is a real classic spanking film from a well selected list of films that should be in every ones collection.

VICTORY FOR PANDORA

Well it goes to show that if you have the courage and commitment and the knowledge that what you are doing is the right thing you can overcome all obstacles. I do not think there were many people in the spanking and fetish scene who thought that Pandora Blake would open the box, shake out the worms and then be able to crush them. She did, she took on the establishment and won and this was not just a victory for her but for freedom of thought and action for adults everywhere in the UK. She showed that if you have the conviction that what you are doing is right you have to fight, she did and we congratulate her.

Pandora Blake, award-winning activist and feminist pornographer, has won her appeal to Ofcom against ATVOD and can reinstate her site Dreams of Spanking, which was banned under the AVMS guidelines in August 2015, triggering widespread anger among free speech advocates as well as porn fans.

The controversial Audiovisual Media Services Regulations came into effect in December 2014, banning consensual sex acts from online porn including facesitting, female ejaculation, and spanking that leaves marks. Pandora Blake took part in the ‘facesitting protest’ outside Westminster, and also spoke on Newsnight and Women’s Hour challenging the sexist and regressive nature of the regulations. She believes that speaking out made her a target for censorship.

ATVOD – the Association for TV on Demand – were tasked with regulating online porn in 2010. While porn critics often focus on the ‘mainstream’ industry, ATVOD made a point of targeting independent niche and fetish porn producers, including a disproportionate number of female filmmakers. In January 2016, Ofcom shut down the quango amid rumours that it was acting beyond its remit.

Pandora Blake said, “The point of Dreams of Spanking was to make ethical porn based on my own fantasies. I’m not ashamed of being kinky and there’s no harm in adults sharing consensual BDSM films. The AVMS regulations effectively criminalised my sexuality. I was singled out because I criticised the new laws. ATVOD tried to shut me up, but they failed.”

“Now I’ve won my appeal I feel vindicated. It proves that it’s worth standing up to bullies. The war against intrusive and oppressive state censorship isn’t over, but this decision is a landmark victory for feminist porn, diversity and freedom of expression.”

Some news of new films

Life gets in the way of my Blog sometimes, so much to do and there never seems to be time. I thought this week as I had not even had time to look around the spanking websites I would take a look at a couple of blogs and see what they have to say. I started with Spanking England as it looks attractive and has loads of new content reviewed. I have more or less taken their posts and reproduced them her for you.
SPANKING SARAH

It was lovely to see Satine Spark again recently. She made her first ever spanking film with us about six years ago and she comes back at least once a year to make some more. People can change a lot in that amount of years but I can honestly say that Satine looks as great now as she did then. Take a look at the latest films where she gets her bottom spanked and paddled by Mr Stern.

After the disastrous start to our Spankers cook book film I ask Satine to make a fruit cake. It is in fact a very nice fruit cake and when Satine invites me and the photographer to share it with her we are pleased to do so. We did not know that Mr Stern had need of it for his video and when he comes to shoot the film there is not a lot left of the cake. He is not happy and decides that a good paddling should be the reward for this rather thoughtless and naughty young lady. She has to touch her toes as he applies the paddle to her pert bare bottom. SpankingSarah

SARAH SPANKS MEN
Nigel returns to SarahSpanksMen this week to receive a cold caning. Nigel has been to see me before but he is back and this time he is more honest with me abou this needs. He wants to be cold caned. Now this is extremely unpleasant and very painful but that is what he wants, I agree to cane him. We pick a selection of canes, from very thin to quite heavy and I give him just what he asked for as he bends over my caning bench

ENGLISH SPANKERS
At English Spankers April May is back. April made her spanking debut with us some time ago and despite never being spanked before, she took to it like a duck to water! April has been sent by her boyfriend to see disciplinarian Mr Stern. She will not openly admit why she has been sent thus but the story does emerge after a while. She has been cheating on him and he wants to see her suitably punished. Once she owns up to this she is placed over the knee and spanked on top of her denim shorts before these are removed and her bare bottom gets the expert attention it demands. English Spankers

REDSTRIPE FILMS

Last but by no means least at RedStripe Films Ashleigh knows she will get further punishment for her bad behaviour and her almost criminal activities. She is not mistaken and the pyjamas she is wearing offer her little or no protection against the hard paddling she is going to get. Her bottom is pushed high into the air and this deserved paddling commences. RedStripe Films

An exciting compilation

Just had a preview of the series of films made with Pandora Blake & Thomas Cameron some years ago. Now Pandora has always been one of my very favourite spankees and Thomas makes the perfect master in this well shot portrayal of a young girls introduction into a life of sensual and painful service. The producers, Strand Video have now added this to their list of compilation tapes, they have taken a number of connected stories or subjects and put them together as a complete program and this I welcome. It is good to be able to go to a download and get the whole thing in one go.

This story is very well filmed and directed, the action is well distributed throughout the film and time is aloud for reflective reactions and the finer nuances of the dom sub relationship to come to the fore. I do hate to miss the words and the looks that we know will pass between a couple when they are enacting such an erotically charged situation and the looks on the face of the beautiful submissive as she awaits the kiss of the strap or cane. So, I do welcome these compilations and in particular this one. I understand it is available to the members of Spanking Mansion which is a part of Redstripe Films but it will also be available as a single download from The Spanking Library.

Below is the write up which accompanies the film. Enjoy!

This is a story about a young girls first visit to her new master. She has been given to him for further training in submission and her journey to knowledge is to be long and painful for her. She is taken to a lonely house in the middle of the night knowing that she will be trained to serve the man who meets with her and expected to give herself to him in every way.

Immediately upon arrival she is subjected to her first punishment, a naked spanking and punishment over the knee with a hairbrush. Next morning she finds out just what it means to be in service, she has not pleased the master, forgetting to wear her collar and other things. She is put through a very humiliating routine including walking naked and deportment, a riding crop is used to keep her moving. Next she is subjected to harsh punishment with a leather strap.

Over a period of time Pandora transgresses the masters rules and has to be severely dealt with, this will involve a harsh paddling and a long and very meaningful caning administered in a number of positions so as to totally cover her bottom. An excellent film featuring one of our foremost spanking ladies.

The spanking Mansion

I have just been looking at REDSTRIPE FILMS and found an amazing series. This does not seem to be something they have advertised too heavily but I really don’t know why. I contacted Sandy the lady who runs the site and she said it was an idea they had some time ago to let the girls get together to write their own scripts with the proviso they had to be a bit “edgy” and not something that would usually feature on the site.

They were quite surprised at some of the suggestions they received and started filming the series. It actually started in 2013 but they have only made around fifteen films to date. Well I really do think it’s a series they should continue with, the stories are really very good and it is obvious that a lot of time and trouble has been taken with the editing.

Featuring in the various stories there is Niki Montford, Aleesha Fox, Spanking Sarah, Suzanne Smart, Pandora Blake, Thomas Cameron, Mr Stern, Imogen, Bemby. I was just delighted to see Niki Montford, one of my all time favourite ladies and I have to say she was genuinely scared at what the girls, Sarah & Aleesha were doing too her. Pandora’s film was just amazing. Whatever this lady does she does to her very best ability and in these films with Thomas she is at her very best  I feel. Well shot, produced and edited these are classic films of the genre. The full range of films is available at Redstripe Films But you can take a look at some clips at the display site Spanking Mansion

It’s a funny, sad old world

It’s almost the end of another year in which almost the whole world was involved in unrest and violence of some description. Really one would have to say it was a very sad year. The situation does not look as though it will be getting any better either, we seem to have forgotten that we are all humans and all supposed to be equal.

We have wars and we still have starvation, we have people without homes, displaced and disheartened by the response from some of the world’s richer nations. What must these folk think when they have the British prime minister trying to impose totally unrealistic limits on how many of the world’s poorest people we can help.

When the American people look set to nominate a heartless, nasty, mean spirited bigot and misogynist to the highest office in the land and where the richest people in the world get richer every day. Just today we learn that the Euro bureaucrats  have voted themselves a 2% pay rise.

Where a member of the British house of Lords spends thousands of pounds of public money on taxis to the opera. Where innocent Americans are being slaughtered every day by owners of legally purchased guns, where England has to join in the bombing of a country because not to do so would look “not Good” with our allies.

Where a democratically elected leader of a British political party is traduced and ridiculed not only by the “free “press but also by members of his own party! Why, well he is a pacifist, he does not believe in dropping bombs on innocent people and he does not believe in having weapons of mass destruction in the hands of people who have proven they are not responsible. He believes in the redistribution of wealth and has respect for the views of the electorate and those he represents. What a funny old world we live in and some sobering thoughts as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Oh, yes that’s what Christmas is supposed to be about but, well maybe we have forgotten that as well.

Have a happy one and try to change things, you can, you have the power.

The pornography of violence available to 12 year olds

In the UK there has been and still is a lot of chatter and angst concerning the supposed violence of adult spanking films, made by adults, featuring adults watched by adults who can screen this from their kids

The latest Hunger Games film is out and available for your 12 years old child to go and watch. Well it’s just a bit of fun isn’t it or it could be as described by one of the films promoters “very violent” and he seemed happy that young kids can see this trash and indeed seemed to glory in it, but then he would wouldn’t he. Why is he happy, well it could be because the first instalment grossed £5m in the opening week end and this one is expecting to do better.

Here is the difference, this is violence, see below, this is made by adults, featuring kids, I class young teens as kids, and it’s designed to be watched by kids. Now am I living in some sort of parallel universe, is it acceptable for our kids to see the sort of violence portrayed in the most graphic way, violence that features the slaughtering of kids by other kids, necks broken, death by all manner of vile implements of war and torture.

This comes out in the same month as a group of very sick, misguided young people slaughtered innocents in the streets of Paris. What do we expect when it is open for kids in the UK to go along to their local Odeon and see mass carnage on the streets, see that it is OK to watch, it must be, mummy lets me see it! For some this will undoubtedly arouse thoughts of violence in their still forming minds. It’s ironic that in the UK the Odeon are showing this when their name is synonymous with entertainment and it was said that its founder Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation. I wonder what this Victorian gentleman would think about this offering!

As I say, maybe I am in the parallel universe and it’s OK these days for kids to see such mind bending crap, make no mistake they do want to see it and will be pestering parents to let them go and see it. Why not do your kids a favour and say NO!
Is there any correlation with consensual spanking between adults and filming it for the entertainment of other adults. Answers please.

We could give you a link to  a trailer but why spread the evil word.

QUOTES WITH THANKS

Parents need to know that although the bestselling Hunger Games books are enormously popular with tweens, there’s a clear distinction between reading about violence and seeing it portrayed on screen. Developmentally, the 10- to 12-year-olds who’ve read the book may find the movie’s visceral, sometimes bloody teen-on-teen violence upsetting — especially the brutal scene that opens the Games, in which several teens are slaughtered by their fellow contestants. Even young teens need to be mature enough to deal with the 20+ deaths in The Hunger Games; characters are viciously dispatched with various weapons — including spears, arrows, and swords — as well as by having their necks broken, their skulls cracked, and their bodies ravaged by carnivorous and poisonous creatures. commonsensemedia.org

this movie might be the most violent young-adult movie ever made. While all of the previous “Hunger Games” films are violent, “Mockingjay, Part 2” pushes PG-13 boundaries
Fox News

It’s violent and gory – so should under-12s see new Hunger Games movie? Critics attack film for glamorising violence. Viewers witness a man being whipped by soldiers and a public execution. With a public execution, a violent beating and frenzied animals, it hardly sounds like ideal entertainment for children.

But film censors appear to think otherwise – granting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire a 12A rating, which means it can be seen by under-12s if they are with an adult. Yesterday, critics attacked those behind the film for glamorising violence and exposing the young target audience to ‘unnecessarily graphic’ scenes.

A great sadness

What can be said about the wicked activities of a few criminals who devastated the people of that great city Paris over the week end. Whatever we may think about the rightness or other wise of some of the actions taken by ourselves America and other European countries it can never be right to deliberately set out to take the life of another human being. Not only that, it was done in the most cowardly way by people who have no moral scruples and certainly no attachment in any way to the religion they say they serve.

It’s just a little I know but we do have lots of friends in France, a country we love and visit often and we want them to know that the very best wishes of the British spanking community are with them in this dreadful time, and we hope that as the days go by they will come to terms and then to an understanding of sorts with what has happened to them.

Spankings not the real porn

Just by chance I looked at my diary today and it was with shock I realised that it will soon be Christmas again. No I am not going to say any more on the subject but I use it to illustrate how fast this year has gone for me.

I started the year full of hope, well I always do, I am quite a happy bunny by nature but as the year went on the realisation that it was not going to get any better slowly dawned on me. I know this is a spanking news blog but sometimes things in our world just get so damn bad and sad that we as ordinary citizens never seem to get a chance to say the things we secretly feel and want to share. I have not made many posts this last year, must do better in the next, and that’s not a resolution its just a hope that I can do better. Most of my posts have been to do with the spanking community and the terrible things that are happening to those who produce the lovely spanking films and web sites that bring so many of us pleasure.

In England we still have so many people and a state and “fourth estate” that think  have the right to interfere in what the people see and think and to try to influence the opinions they hold. They do try all ways, some very subtle and some not so, to impose their totally anti democratic will onto ordinary people. They are fortunate for they have the combined powers of the news media on their side, don’t think that just because one newspaper appears to be sympathetic to your cause today that it will always be that way, just look at who owns them!

We have had the whole debacle with ATVOD, all we are assured to protect children…Poppycock and anyone with half a mind knows it, we have welcomed social media in all its grossest forms into our children’s lives and taken few measures to protect them from the grossest insults upon their young minds, rather we have sat in the next room as our kids read the vilest things and then repeat and finally originate that same. We did not offer our kids any protection against that malicious influence that comes within the folds of  the social media sites. We sat and watched as they play on the most frightening and realistic video games, they become soldiers, killers, avengers, all in their young minds and we are then surprised when they go out and stab and kill each other.

Then we have porn. I am getting quite old now but when I was a kid I had porn, all my friends had porn, plenty of porn and in those days it was totally illegal, so what’s changed. Now it’s legal. Kids will always find porn, today using the computer skills of the average 10 year old nothing will be able to be hidden from the kids, they will always seek it and they will always find it. Governments cant keep data hidden and safe, telephone companies, the communications specialists cant keep data safe. The more they try to ban ‘legitimate’ well produced spanking porn the more the kids will turn to their skills and their thirst to look at that which is outlawed and driven underground, the easier it will be for them to come across the disgusting and depraved works of the extreme producers which know no boundaries and wont be voluntarily moderated and certainly will not be moderated nor stopped by any state intervention.

You would think that with the world in a crisis over the wars in the middle east, the famine that still engulfs lots of the world, the refugee families fleeing war and persecution and the child poverty at home, our government, busily trying to make the poor people even more poor, would have better things to do with their time and expertise. Let these clever people who work for organisations like ATVOD, OFCOM BBFC and all the other busy bodies and propagators of state control put their talents to something useful. Wouldn’t it be nice guys to go home at night and be able to say.” I just found a home for a homeless family, now they can live in peace in our country”.

50 Shades of Justice

Thanks to The Telegraph on line  for airing this little snippet

A female GP who left her businessman lover covered in bleeding welts following a caning session has been cleared of assault. The sex life of Elvira Blakemore, 41 and James Austin, a 57-year-old businessman, culminated in a trial at Croydon Crown Court, south London.

A jury was told how the couple began to experiment sexually after Dr Blakemore was said to have been interested in the fantasies portrayed in the film, 50 Shades of Grey. At the heart of the case was whether the caning amounted to assault or was, as the GP insisted, purely consensual.

The court was told the couple had enjoyed a whirlwind romance, having become acquainted via an Internet dating site,  After only five dates Mr Austin proposed marriage and the doctor moved into the businessman’s £3.6 million mansion on a gated estate in Locksbottom, Kent. They went on to have two sons.

Mr Austin told the court that the couple kept a cane in their bedroom and had also bought spanking paraphernalia at the Ann Summers sex shop.  The jury heard that Mr Austin signed one gift “personal spanker to naughty Dr Elvira” and she in turn signed an email as “personal spanker.”  But gradually their relationship deteriorated.

On one occasion, Mr Austin told the court, she hit him with the cane after he had passed out on their bed. “She was violently hitting me with the cane very many times on the back. There was a cut on my cheek also, but she just kept going and by the end there was blood on the bed,” he said. Having been hit between 25-35 times, Mr Austin rang the emergency services and paramedics told him to seek hospital treatment.

However Dr Blakemore, who was born in Chechnya and gave up her post as a GP to move in with Mr Austin, insisted the caning was consensual. “He told me to get on with it.. The point of caning is the contrast between painful stimulation and touching the body and he said, ‘Go on baby’. ‘‘I poured champagne on his back after. It’s part of the pleasure, the cold champagne cools the skin. It’s a nice sensation. James was making noises like he was enjoying it.” She was also accused of punching Mr Austin a month later. But Dr Blakemore was also cleared of the assault charge arising from that incident as well.

The couple have since parted with Dr Blakemore now living in Holland-on-Sea, Essex.

Neither was prepared to comment after the case.

It makes you think

This is posted from the blog of the lovely Alex Reynolds     Please take the time to read and assimilate the contents.

“Anonymous asked: I saw on twitter that you shot with another black model recently. I don’t meant to sound racist, but isn’t that getting to be a bit much?

You definitely sound racist.

There are over one hundred female models on Northern Spanking. They come from varied backgrounds, range in age from 18 to their 50′s, in size from XXS to plus, in education, profession, interest, sexual orientation, in gender identity and more. But until this year, a love of spanking wasn’t the only thing that these girls had in common: every female model on the site was white.

This was not by design or intent. When Northern was based in the UK (before I was involved) they hoped to find models of color to work with, but had few opportunities and were never able to make it work. When I got involved in Northern Spanking and started working on casting, I had a couple of goals. I wanted to help introduce new models to the spanking world, and I wanted to start the process of having racial diversity on the site. Recently, we’ve been lucky to shoot with three gorgeous and talented women of color: Adrianna Evans (who is mixed race, white and latina), Nuna Starks and, most recently, Cupcake Sinclair. All three girls are wonderful to work with, super duper pretty and just all around great spanking models. I didn’t hire these girls *because* of their racial backgrounds, but unlike some people in the porn world, I didn’t *not* hire them because of it.

So, let’s back up a little bit:
100+ white models
3 models of color
2 black models

But that’s “a bit much” for you? This is a thing that gets me: when there’s more than a token amount of diversity, people think that it’s “too much.”  And honestly, TWO MODELS is a ridiculously low number to even think of as being anything significant.

Honestly, the spanking community is ripe with microagressions against black people. There’s an assumption in a lot of the language used that all spankees are going to be white. “Pale bottoms turning red” is a trope that gets talked about a lot, and which took me, personally, a while to realize how offensive it is.

Newsflash: minorities are kinky, too. The spanking world doesn’t belong to white people. Yeah, there aren’t often many minorities represented at events, that’s true. Maybe it’s because people treat them in bullshit ways like this. Maybe it’s because they don’t see themselves represented in the spanko media and therefore don’t feel like they belong. Maybe it’s because disenfranchised people have fewer spoons left to spend on things like kink. But it isn’t because white people are the only kinky people, so if we could stop thinking this way, that would be a start.
When I was a young woman looking at spanking videos online, the girls that I saw often looked like me. There were several popular models with similar body types to me that I looked up to and was inspired by. By seeing people that look like me in my porn, I felt like I was being given permission to also participate. People of color need this, too. Representation matters.

Furthermore, you don’t lose anything when there’s a model on Northern that isn’t to your personal taste. Just don’t watch that video or buy that clip, problem solved. No one is a “crowd pleaser.” I get complaints about INSANE things: “that girl was too chubby”, “that girl didn’t have enough curves”, “I don’t like to see girls who look like they’re 12″, “ugh, she’s too old to spank”, “she’s not very feminine”, “that girl is too girly for me”…
Don’t find a particular model or video hot? Then please don’t watch it. There are literally over 400 videos that you get access to when you join Northern, with a cast of, as mentioned before, over 100. You’re not really losing much if you don’t like the videos that one or two models put out.

But seriously. If you think that having two black models is “too many” then the issue here isn’t with Northern and our casting policies. You might not want to sound racist, but you need to examine your own beliefs and see where they really fall. Many people have racist beliefs and feelings because of the way they were raised. I definitely have to combat years of conditioning in certain departments, but I acknowledge that what I was taught to think was wrong and that I need to move past it. I still catch myself making assumptions, but instead of brushing it off, I call myself out on it and remind myself that I’m wrong. I know that you can do this, too, anon, if you give it your best go.”

All sentiments we can agree with and Alex, as you already do, keep on featuring those models you think will be the best for your site, We love the diversity, that’s what keeps the world going round.

Something not very nice!

Oh dear something not very nice is happening out there in spanking land and I really don’t know if I should be happy or mad about it. The story started when a friend of mine who I know gets a lot of spanking material from pirate sites tells me that he has been ripped off.

Now he has always denied visiting these dodgy sites but I have always known the truth, but it was one of those things, he is a friend and as long as his activities did not affect me why should I care. Anyway, he came to see me this week and said that his credit card had been cloned or ripped off and that from the activity on his card it looked as though his details were all over the net. As I am a web designer and know my way around the net he thought that maybe I could help him find out what was happening. We did a few basic searches and he showed me the communications he had had with his bank and it soon became obvious where he had been got at.

He uses one of the well known pirate forums to find new material he may be interested in and took out a premium membership on a hosting site where he paid for this premium membership with his Visa card. We did a search on this hosting company and after following lots of dead ends we ascertained that this site was hosted in Russia. Hmm long way to go to get your money back.

Anyway, I have to admit to not having a great deal of sympathy with him, he knows I strongly disapprove of pirate web sites and the scum bags who operate them but I did not think he would be so daft as to entrust his credit card details to a bunch of criminals. Just goes to show. Anyway, the story does not end there, he spoke to other people who use these pirate sites and found he was not alone in being ripped off. It seems that not only are these guys ripping off legitimate spanking producers but they then rip off the idiots who download the material from their servers. It is well known that they download mal ware at the same time as they download the stolen films but to actually rip off credit cards seems to be a new thing, natural progression maybe. I pointed out to him that the money he paid for this premium membership was in fact the same as he would have paid to join the average web site.

The lesson is clear, don’t entrust your credit card details to people who have already proven they are thieves. You know it makes sense!

Important information for all lovers of fetish films

We hear that ATVOD have now ordered Pandora Blake to close her excellent web site Dreams Of Spanking. It had to happen, these are people who do not see things from the same perspective as us, by that I mean everyone outside their little bubble.

This country is currently going through a very insidious and clandestine cleansing of what this right wing government considers to be dangerous people, that would appear to be anyone who like to participate in or watch fetish films which feature spanking, bondage and many other of your favourite pastimes. We will not go into the politics behind it now there are plenty of excellent articles we pointed to in earlier posts. Pandora has chosen to take the fight to the modern equivalent of the burners of books and she is assisted in this by Backlash   they could do with your support and donations to a fighting fund, remember ATVOD are already using your money to persecute the producers of fetish sex films and either they or some other QANGO may soon be looking at other areas of your freedom.

There is a link below to a most excellent video produced by Hywel Phillips  it does help you to understand the ridiculous situation that adult film producers find themselves in. Be sure to watch it and share it. Every little helps, as they say
