Spanking like sex, tends to be wild, frequent and go on for ever when in the honeymoon period of a relationship. So problems sitting down could result from either in the early days.

Life, the universe, work, illness and everything seem to have conspired recently to keep my Cariad and I either apart or too busy for much indulgence as it were.
We have seen each other several times this week, but not really had playtime opportunity when both able to be awake at the same time.

Today we had what I call a date day, so we made a bit of an effort to have some 'quality time' together.
When we have periods of lots of activity we worry about 'upping the ante' where I develop a hide like a rhinoceros and he gets repetitive strain injury and/or falls asleep in the middle of spanking me! Luckily it doesn't happen and we are newly surprised by either how well I cope after a period of abstinence, or conversely how quickly I can be made to squeal, hiss or swear (depending on mood and ambience)when we get to play lots.

A lot has to do with headspace and I guess various biorhythms. On spanking sites people have commented on varied sensitivity dependent on menstrual cycle, but it's not something I'd noticed personally.

Anyway we had a lovely time together. I seemed pretty resilient despite long break, but I seemed to get marked easily, which we rather like as we find it sexy. I know some worry about marks (especially those playing illicitly!) but like many people I can have quite dramatic reddening and stripes of the cane for a short while, but they quickly fade.

I think my Ann Summers cane is getting a bit past it, so I may have to look for a replacement! It's already been shortened once after losing its tip but it's quite handy for [ahem!] close attention...
