The Black Forest Boarding School
by mati

In his article in Vol.1 No.7 of the Wellred Weekly, What is it About Adult Schoolgirls?, edb asked: "Why do older women like to dress up, regress to their schooldays and play the role of a naughty schoolgirl?" He offered some answers to the question, but a few days later the Black Forest Boarding School opened its doors again during the Whit-weekend and so I thought this question could be explored further. As the Black Forest Boarding School is offering co-education we can perhaps ask more generally: "Why do older people like to play the role of naughty students and why do they like to do it virtually in public?"

I don't think much needs to be said about the school setting. Nearly everyone spends most of their formative years in school, so it's not surprising that many of our good and bad memories are linked to school life. But why should anyone want to play out these fantasies in a semi-public environment?

We may get an initial answer to this question if we examine the reasons that lead to the development of the Boarding School in 2007. Rainer, who is the owner of one of the oldest and biggest German spanking sites, Spankingfreunde Community, initiated this event after he noticed that newcomers and single people often had little chance to take part in the activities of spanking parties as they were unsure how to start playing and how to make contact with other visitors. So he thought that a role-play event, where everybody has a specified function, would make it easier for newcomers to get involved and would also give everyone the chance to actually spank somebody or be spanked. Some obvious advantages are:

  • The teacher (headmaster, caretaker) always has the opportunity to dish out some punishments, unlike at a spanking party where he would need to go around and specifically ask half a dozen unknown women, or however many are available, to let him spank them.

  • The students are able to control the situation through their own conduct. If they want to be punished, they can break the rules and if they want to avoid a chastisement they just need to behave. In addition, they have the choice between receiving their punishment from the teacher or, if they don't like a specific teacher, they can go to the headmaster's office instead. Nonetheless, even the most withdrawn student has the chance to be spanked at least once at the end of the play as part of some collective punishment or due to an injustice of some sort. Shy students will appreciate this regulation since onlookers will be kept away.

The Participants
Of the 25 or so participants who attended more than half of them had never before attended a spanking event and many had no or only little spanking experiences. It was also noticeable that although most of the attendees were married or living in long term relationships, they did not attend as couples, suggesting that they were not looking primarily for erotic adventures or a new partner, but simply wanted to enjoy spanking in a non-committal atmosphere. Most of this group were married to vanilla partners, although some were involved with another spanko but wanted to pick up new ideas or different experiences.

Some other interesting facts are:

  • More than 3/4 of the tops were very experienced and regular visitors of spanking parties, whereas most bottoms had no or only few experiences.

  • The ratio of tops to bottoms was approximately 1:3

  • The ratio of males to females was approximately 3:1

  • The ratio of male tops to male bottoms was approximately 1:2

  • All tops were male

  • Ages ranged from 25 to 75, with most of the participants being over 45, many of them over 60

Many of the participants stated their personal reasons to attend:

  • The 75 year old grey eminence, who still feels fit enough to swing a cane and is happily married to a kinky and understanding wife. She is unfortunately not well enough to participate any more, but does not begrudge her spouse having fun.

  • The fit and shapely senior lady aged about 70 who lived her kink when she was younger. She had heard of the event and spontaneously decided that she wanted to experience the bite of the cane once more.

  • The 25 year old student, who was more or less talked into participation by an online friend and wanted to meet some of her virtual friends in reality.

  • A few single males aged between 50 and 60, who had decided that it was about time to get into spanking.

  • The happy spouse, whose wife takes care of his discipline, but sometimes he likes to experience it a bit harder.

  • A man and a woman, who were each living in a kinky relationship, but wanted to get some new ideas.

  • A man and a woman, who were each living in a vanilla relationship, but didn't want to set their kink completely aside.

For me, another very important advantage in participating in semi-public events is that they offer a much higher level of security than private meetings with unknown people behind closed doors. Also, someone who is regularly attending real events is not really in a position where they can tell too many lies in advance and so hopefully one has a better chance of meeting people who are likely to be relatively normal and trustworthy.

Despite the wide range of ages and characters, the mix of participants was not entirely ideal as the large number of male bottoms weren't matched by a similar number of female tops. They therefore had to accept that most punishments would be carried out by male teachers, the male switches had to accept that they would have little opportunity to switch, the male tops also had to spank male students, and finally, the relatively small number of female attendees had to accept that they might get more attention than they were looking for. All in all, the situation was similar to other German spanking events where single females seem on the whole to be rare visitors. Anyway, as the male bottoms and switches turned out to be very nice guys, some of the ladies were happy to switch roles. In addition, the landlady and a close friend of hers were also willing to provide some private lessons during the weekend, and so ultimately everybody was content. Even the request from one of the men that he would like to receive a severe swishing from two ladies simultaneously in front of the class while being completely naked, was finally fulfilled to everybody's satisfaction.

The location
SMotel
The event was organized by a German spanking community, Spankingfreunde Community, together with the landlord and landlady of the SMotel, an old, rustic house which is located in an idyllic valley in the northern part of the Black Forest and equipped with everything kinky people can dream of. Apart from the main room, which is divided into a dining room and a classroom containing a large blackboard and vaulting-horse, it has seven bedrooms and each one is individually equipped in the style of a brothel, prison, school and so on. However, for the purposes of this weekend the whole house had been imaginatively transformed into an old style boarding school. The SMotel is run by a friendly couple who practice BDSM themselves and who established the inn several years ago, renovating and equipping the house over a period of time in order to give kinky people the opportunity to meet and play together. It's more of a hobby than a means of livelihood for them and the atmosphere between hosts and guests tends to be quite familiar, the fees more than reasonable.

General rules
There were only a few general conditions upon which the participants had to agree in advance, the most important being that corporal punishment would be involved. The female students agreed to dress with a pleated skirt, white blouse, white knee-socks and black shoes. Many of the male students wore traditional Lederhose, which most of them still remembered from their youth (until the end of the sixties German boys wore Lederhosen up to the age of 16 when jeans finally became more popular) and a white shirt. For German men Lederhosen are often an important part of their kink and there are quite a few communities which specialize in the combination of both fetishes. It is claimed by some that a caning while wearing Lederhose hurts just the same as one on the bared bottom although personally I doubt it. This appears to have resulted in the unjustified consequence that 'boys' were caned on their trousers, whereas 'girls' had to lift their skirts in the classroom.

Choice of uniform was largely up to the individual participants and no-one was forced to buy a specific outfit. The uniform was seen simply as a means of getting into the role rather than trying some kind of school conformity. Another stipulation was that every student could choose to receive their punishment in front of the class or visit the headmaster privately. Choosing the headmaster, however, meant that the number of strokes would be doubled and administered on the bare. Everything else was left to the initiative of the participants in whatever situations that arose. Teachers who wanted to participate were asked to prepare a lesson on any subject they liked.
