How many of you like to give/receive spankings?
What do you use them for? Enjoyment and arousal? Punishment and discipline? Both? Other reasons?
Do you like to be, or have your submissive, bound and helpless during the spanking, or do you prefer to allow/be allowed to squirm about?
I enjoy giving spankings, but I use the for various reasons. I tend to spank lightly with my hand or a flogger before or during sex to stimulate the sensations more. However, I like to hit harder and use a paddle or my new thick leather belt *beams with pride* for punishment. My submissive is not a pain slut at all, so pain is punishment for her.
As for bondage, I use a lot of mental bondage during spankings, especially punishments. I tell her to bend over and put her palms on the mattress and if she moves them, she gets five added to however many she's getting anyway.
However, during scenes, it's sometimes a lot of fun to tie her down before I spank her. She also enjoys being blindfolded, so she never knows what's coming. Spankings coupled with other forms of play (wax, ice, etc.) can really add new levels to her, and my, experience.
