Items of interest regarding all things spanking

Dressing The Part
by Darren aka Laurel Aspen

Does dressing-up feature in your spanking activities? Just how important is presentation? Are jeans and a T-shirt sufficient, or should the participants dress especially for chastisement? Surely the important thing is the people, not their clothes? Why diminish an intense emotional encounter with pedantic caveats about apparel?

Fair points all, but perhaps there's more to spanking than just, er, spanking... ritual, rules, and quite often role-plays, may be intrinsic to the event. Acting out a convincing scenario of a wayward servant disciplined by an irate master can only but be enhanced by a maid's uniform. And the master's authority all the more plausible if he's wearing a suit not beach shorts. Many encounters (in spanking films if nowhere else) are ruined by sloppy blokes - apparently dressed from the washing basket - lacking any sense of occasion or respect for their partner. Arguably, the greater the effort the more memorable the experience.

So why do many people don special spanking garments? An unscientific trawl through the spanking net and its many forums yields a variety of reasons.

For many participants spanking involves an element of theatre and intrinsically the adoption of a particular persona. Regarding M/F interactions - for no other reason than they are what I know best - it's clear some folk like to immerse themselves in a fantasy scenario and an appropriate sartorial ensemble helps them enter character. As they put on the outfit so they become that person, their authoritative or submissive alter ego.

It may be a complete costume, traditional female subservient tropes seem to figure frequently, the secretary, the nurse, the maid - not strangely the doctor, Maitre d' or CEO - gosh but we're old-fashioned. Uniforms appear to be perpetually popular, in the US the cheerleader, in the UK the, careful, adult schoolgirl.

Others favour specific items of attire. Of late pyjamas (or 'PJs') seem on the ascendant. I can't see the attraction myself and there's often a (to my mind) disquieting association with easily misunderstood daddy/little girl dynamics but hey, different strokes etc...

Tight 'dangerous curves ahead' figure-hugging jeans don't float my boat either - but I can see the attraction and sliding them down must be akin to unwrapping a wonderful present.

I suspect the unwrapping element may also be the basis of the enjoyment of grown-up clothes; the slow, teasing lifting of her skirt to reveal the sensual secrets beneath.

Stockings and spanking complement each other like strawberries and cream. For older aficionados they may conjure an association with a time when spanking (more likely punishment than erotic) was commonplace. They're both pleasing to the eye and practical - it's so much easier to pull down a stocking-clad woman's panties than if she's wearing tights (pantyhose across the pond) although they too have enthusiasts and are said to be excellent at ensuring smacked bottom cheeks stay good and hot.

One online acquaintance wears high-heels to be spanked. "You'll usually find me in flats," she says, "at home and work, not least because I've never really mastered the art of walking in heels, but there's something delightfully naughty about putting them on for a bottom warming. The frisson of excitement at what's to follow, and the vanity of knowing they make my legs look pretty dam good."

Is a senior lawyer compromising her professional status by dressing as a secretary? "Of course not," says my own favourite lawyer and lifetime champion of gender equality. "It's a game, a release from responsibility and above all my choice." Judging by their writing, famous spankees, such as writer and filmmaker Pandora Blake, or editor and illustrator Paula Russell, appear to agree. So do 'Bogart and Bacall' at 'Our Bottoms Burn':
...a little spanking FUN? Plan a night out on the town, dressed to the nines, knowing there will be a red behind (or two) when you get home. Do something fancy...
A conclusion similarly endorsed in a recent article advocating spanking in once radical now mainstream Cosmopolitan.

Dressing for a spanking clearly won't work for everyone, and there's a good argument to say the painstaking ritual of preparation kills spontaneity. Others claim a punitive spanking should be naked to emphasise embarrassment and humiliation. Conversely putting on glad rags helps ring the changes and for those of us fortunate enough to be in long term spanking relationships stops proceedings becoming (whisper it) boring.

To take the author's specific circumstances as an example: For some spanking is an impromptu event, an opportunity to be grasped when and wherever the mood strikes. For others spontaneity has to be planned in advance. Our domestic and caring arrangements dictate domestic discipline by prior appointment.

A time and date is designated. I pleasurably plan my modus operandi; my spankee apprehensively ponders her fate. The answer to the concern: "I don't know if I'll be in the mood on Sunday" is to consciously create the requisite state of mind, by preparation and anticipation, dressing for pleasure.

Sometimes my infinitely better half will receive a note with specific instructions on what to wear, alternatively she may be granted leave to exercise her imagination and surprise me. Spanking usually takes place at home but on memorable occasions she's had to rendezvous at a cafe, embarrassingly forced to discuss her forthcoming chastisement in public, or book into a chic hotel, where the room furniture was most inventively employed.

I take responsibility for organising and directing proceedings and wearing something to suit an authority figure. She follows a mutually-agreed set of rules: Makeup is de rigueur, not the usual day-to-day 'lippy' but delicately applied eye shadow and carefully chosen scent. Lingerie, not underwear, something carefully chosen by her, and paid for by me, is essential, complimented by sheer nylons, definitely nothing practical or everyday. High heels, to enhance her long legs and compliment a smart skirt and top or dress complete the look. Confidently complicit in her erotic submission my significant other doesn't believe her feminist principles to be compromised by emphasising her femininity; she simply looks and feels wonderful.

Finally I'll unveil the prize of that delightful derriere, lifting her skirt, applying my palm to cheeks nicely framed by stockings and suspenders, slowly pulling down her panties to bare her bottom. For both of us it's well worth dressing the part.

I like to spank a naughty woman, who is sophisticatedly dressed. Be she in an evening gown, dress, or business suit. Her undergarments, can consist of bra, girdle, suspender-belt and stockings. Before she is ordered to disrobe, to bare her naked rear end, for her upcoming corporal punishment. Then, and only then with treasured pleasure, her spanking's begin. Yes, sexually, erotic spankings.

Good article. My idea of dress for the spankee both male and female, starts with role play or discipline. Which is it? A woman can get into a schoolgirl outfit, but a male has to come up with a bit of imagination. Perhaps short pants with suspenders.

I simply like the idea of a pair of jeans and panties resting around the knees or ankles on a woman I may be spanking. A skirt lifted and panties at half mast will do as well. It's all in sight and sound.

Interesting idea- the spanking event, similar to your j stories. I noticed the importance of "how she turned out."
I enjoyed your article.

In my opinion valued, by,at least me, I belive that nakedness should be a state that is reached by slow removeal of outter garments, not by the sudden appearance of a naked body. Thus panties should be worn and removed unveiling the object ready for punishment. A thong defeats this purpose.
To use a scientific term school uniforms suck.! Having been educated in mostly rural settings in the Great White North a goodly number of my fellow students were lucky to have had clothes on their backs and corporal puishment involved fists and the odd ruler or yard sticks as we used to call them.
Maid uniforms and business attire are fine though as long as the proper underwear is worn.Jeans are fine as long as the victim removes them herself.

A very well written article!
Thanks.

Adult consensual spanking bears a strong similarity to dance, or other dramatic performance. Each partner has a role to play, a script (planned or extemporaneous), a set, and of course a costume. Since this marvelous post is about dressing the part, I will focus on that.

Ours is an F/M arrangement. At the appointed time, I enter the spanking room in all black: t-shirt, slacks or jeans, black belt, black socks. Socks typically come off then belt and pants--any under wear--also black--I must remove. She has chosen my outfit and she delights in watching me take off my clothes, slowly, deliberately. I fold these items carefully, and lay them on a nearby dresser. While I disrobe, she may or may not comment on my physical attributes, my obvious nervousness, or my impending punishment, but she watches me with growing intensity. I hand her my belt, and she sets it aside to be used as she deems necessary. I retain only the black shirt, partially framing her target. I try to remove my clothing in a way that increases her pleasure but also that affirms, once again, my commitment to our arrangement, my willingness to endure pain and embarrassment, and my deep desire for her loving discipline. In making all these preparations, I have asked her to spank me, and she has chosen the time, the setting, her instruments of choice, and her attire as well as mine.

She wants to heighten my pleasure, so she has dressed for me. She has donned a dark blue skirt with red or white top, [occasionally the classic little black dress], a pearl necklace or, sometimes a gold chain coordinated with gold earrings. I might see stay-up stockings, sometimes conventional hosiery with garter belts, panties--and the super sexy Touch of Nina sandals with 3-inch spiked heels. (Once we visited a shoe store, with me buying high-heeled sandals for our spanking sessions. She soon ditched these for the Touch of Nina version, her tastes much classier than mine). She might choose tight-fitting jeans rather than a skirt--at any rate--when I hear the 3-inch heels on the hardwood floor, I know the time has come for our session.

Her feminine allure is intoxicating, over her knees I go, and I am soon held tightly between her thighs; I am not just compliant, I am in submissive freefall. She punishes my bottom in ways that are thorough and memorable, after which we embrace tightly and thankfully. We have both dressed for the part--her having emphasized feminine power, and me having emphasized a deeply compliant mindset.

Hmmmm...
Not as easy to answer as one might think.
Do I like spankees to dress up?
Well, I do like to indulge my fetishes from time to time, tight blue jeans are what do it best for me, but I can perv over a naughty schoolgirl too.
A smart secretary, a nurse (I spent much time in hospital in my late teens when there were many young and student nurses on the wards and all had to wear black stockings & suspenders, I suffered greatly from priapism!), a leather mini-skirt..
A one-piece swimsuit, ah yes...
I actually don't like make-up and certainly not very much of it if the spankee feels more comfortable wearing it.
When spanking, I usually dress in business clothes, of which I have many. Smart shirt & tie with suit & shiny shoes. Can be Boss, manager, or if I wear my tweeds, a teacher or headmaster.
The only time I have been asked to dress up to be spanked was at a fetish party where I had to wear a studded leather pouch.. I think these days my spankers feel that they are indulging my fantasy and don't insist on what I should wear. I do try to wear to please with nice tight jeans and kiniki briefs.
