AS predicted, Mistress and Slave have been slogging through a stressful week following our return from our little beach getaway. Work has been demanding, and we've got the much anticipated wedding of my 2nd daughter come Saturday. More on that later this week.... but all the planning, organizing and angst over colliding families and sensibilities makes me recall why our wedding (the 2nd for both of us) organized as a last minute surprise for a select group of family and friends was much more enjoyable than this type of formal set piece.
The saddest part is that Slave had an unscheduled abstinence day yesterday, because I had to get up way to early to drive one of our Co-Ed's guest from across the pond to the airport. By the time the day came to an end - following dinner here for my getting married daughter and her fiance, Slave was way to fried for any nookie.
Luckily, I'm anticipating getting lucky in just a few short minutes, before we kick it into high gear for another brutally scheduled day.
I did want to leave you with this piece I stumbled on about a couple in a "domestic discipline" relationship who have somehow connected it to a Christian lifestyle. Spanking for Jesus.
Sounds as if these folks are not too far afield from the discipline that Tammy "enjoys" over at All Mine, or that others in the sex blogosphere write about. But instead of lending an erotic charge to their efforts, somehow they've based their use of the spoon, hair brush or palm on some notion that a good Christian woman needs to submit to her husband, and that the husband is free to use those means necessary to enforce that submission. The blog entry I read makes it clear that for these folks, it's not about sex, foreplay, etc. It's just to show who's the boss.
Yuck.
Why do we have to introduce God and mandatory gender stereotypes into what might otherwise have some erotic fizzle? Plus it seems to remove the consensual notion of the whole arrangement, which in my mind turns good sexy fun into bad and cruel abuse.
They have a blog, linked in the article, where they purport to explain their lifestyle. Am I missing something here?
Mick, good luck introducing the Jesus spanking to Molly. I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that one!

Mick,
ReplyDeleteI got my wooden spoon at Bed Bath and Beyond, not a religious goods store. No doubt my discipline is divine, but not that kind of divine.

Molly it sounds like your lovely bare bottom is in trouble Sunday:)
ReplyDeleteClaiming "Divine approval" and perhaps even "Divine mandate" is the ultimate trump card for many people. "God is on our side" is hardly a new concept for Americans who have used this to justify wars, slavery and oppression of all kinds. This kind of thinking for some relieves them of the burden of owning their own feelings and makes them immune (at least in their minds) from the criticism of others. Believing you have the blessing of the Almighty can be a powerful aphrodiasiac.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
Thanks... you're right, religion has been used to justify some horrific things. A little spanking may be the least of them.
