Q&A: The Knight & the Queen


Thought I'd post this recent exchange because it's such a common question, and SO many couples are in this situation.

If you end up following my advice on it - PLEASE POST what happens in the comments!

READER QUESTION: How do I get her to WANT to spank me for REAL REASONS?

I've been reading Spanking the Male Mind in my spare time. I haven't yet presented it to my wife. I have approached her about wanting this before but she basically just chalks it up to nothing and nothing happens. 

My question: how do I get her to want to spank me? It's such an odd emotion, but I want to be controlled in this way. I have been spanked once by her on an erotic night once. But it was just a one time deal. 

I told her I want her to spank me when I mess up but she's afraid that since I want this that I will purposely do things to anger or hurt her in order to get spanked. I have been soul searching as it were to try and see if that is what would happen but honestly, I know that isn't my intention. I want her to do it to keep me in line, but only when I really do mess up unintentionally. I don't know how to explain my feelings about it. 

Confusing even typing this. I want her to put the fear of God in me if I forget to hold her after work or forget to feed the dogs, etc. I want her to command that I pull my pants off and lay over a table or a knee and spank me hard till I cry. But I just don't know how to get her to want to do this on her own. 

Yes, I'll admit I get some sexual pleasure out of it but I want both. I want to be spanked playfully sometimes but also when I mess up. And when it's a serious thing, I want her to humiliate and make me not want the punishment. You know, spank me so hard that I'm screaming for her to please stop. For some reason that night she did spank me, I felt so much love and adoration for her. I wanted to please her so badly after that. Sorry this was so long winded and all over the place. :( 

I'm just afraid to give her this E-book in fear that she will go the complete other way and think I'm messed up for wanting this for us. I don't want her to think i have mommy issues too cause that's not the case.  

MONICA ANSWERS: I suggest the Knight and the Queen route!

Okay, we all know that many women balk at the idea of spanking a man when he messes up because it would mean the end of him being her protector - now she becomes his mommy and that feels unsafe and taboo for many women. 

My gut tells me the best way to combat this is to go the Knight and the Queen route. You need to couch it in that kind of metaphor - where your job as the Knight is to care for and protect the Queen at all costs - and the Queen’s job is to rule the land, which, at times, means disciplining her knight.

Ramp up your masculinity and protectiveness, and let her know what you want in terms of that. And if she DOES spank you, don’t wimp out on her and get all mealy-mouthed and simpering and little boyish. That will just creep her out and make her never want to do it again. 

I say, even if she got you screaming and crying, when it’s over, stand up like a man, thank her and then grab her roughly and kiss her long and hard. And whatever happens after that, YOU be in charge.

About how to get her to do it for REAL REASONS, this is an age-old dilemma. Who says you won't mess up JUST to get a spanking cause you like it on some level?

My suggestion is for you to give her HTSYM and have a real talk about it. Tell her that if she picks things that REALLY IRK her - and, spanks you for it - YOU WILL SHOW HER IT REALLY WORKS. For one solid month. 

So, if you forgot to feed the dogs and she spanks you for it, for ONE SOLID MONTH you do that EVERY DAY. If you slip up - NO spankings for anything that month.

And don't keep reminding her you're being so good cause she spanked you. She'll make the connection. Don't keep talking about this whole thing after she reads the HTSYM book and your initial conversation about how all this works. 

Let HER TAKE CHARGE OF THIS IN HER WAY.

After a month, you might slip and then she needs to do it again. 

ALSO, you could both decide that if she spanks you SO HARD you are truly begging her to stop - that earns her an EXTRA MONTH of good behavior on that particular subject.


I guess what I’m saying, make it worth her while. 

I assume you also ordered “How to Spank Your Man” - I would give that one to her. That's designed to give to your wife - it’s written in a fun, non-pervy way that gives her lots of options and ways to go with this.


Good LUCK! And post your thoughts on this below!

IDEA: The Ladies Hairbrush Day Experiment!

I just had this idea while traveling on the train. I always wonder how many men on the train would respond if I spoke up and said "Who wants a spanking?" (I imagine 5 - 6 men raising their hand per car!)



So, I got this idea and thought I would invite all the spanking ladies here to join me. As a social experiment, sometime this week, when you know you will be in a public space for awhile (subway, train, waiting room, mall, etc ...) toss a spanking hairbrush in your purse. You know, a substantial wooden one with a flat back.

Then, while you are seated, casually take the hairbrush out, give your hair a few swipes with it and then ... leave it in your hand, almost as if you forgot it was there. Just sit there with the hairbrush in your hand, resting on your lap.

Then ... look around. What men are staring at the hairbrush, if any at all?

My hunch is that a non-spanko guy won't even notice it, it's perfectly normal for a woman to have a hairbrush in a public place. BUT, I would think that one who is in need of a good old-fashioned hairbrushing will be riveted to it.

Am I right, fellas?

AND, if you find one staring, then look directly at him, knowingly and sternly, and start tapping the hairbrush on your lap. See what happens! Report back!

What do you think? Who will try this with me?

MORALS: Is spanking your man naughty or ... nice?

As you all know, I am fairly open-minded when it comes to sex. I think sex is a wonderful perk that comes with being alive and that most of the things that turn us on are pretty mysterious and fascinating. Aside from the gruesome and those involving non-consent, I am very understanding, even if it's something that doesn't strike my fancy.



That said, I still have times where I think ... "Am I a bad person for thinking like this?" or, most likely, "Am I a bad woman for thinking like this?" In the lovely "madonna/whore" society I grew up in, nice girls don't go around spanking men and putting things in their butts (hmmm ... there's an idea.) I even have trouble dating more than one man at a time. Some swinger, huh?

But the truth is, it does bother me at times. Mostly when I'm in the company of a man who I suspect would think I was not such a nice girl for loving what I love to do. When I feel the "morality police" breathing down my neck, I must admit it's hard not to wonder.

But then I imagine the alternative.

EWWWWW! BOOOOR-ING.

That's when I am reminded why I think the way I do and how much more fun life and sex is because it's in my life. ESPECIALLY as time goes on. I can't imagine how vanilla couples stay interested in the old "in and out" after decades of it. It boggles my mind.

I just spent the week with a very dear vanilla couple who has no idea of my intimate predelictions and I have to tell ya ... it was a real snooze. Even when the gal and I had our obligatory "girl talk" it was sooo vanilla. Then, once at the table when we were hanging out doing a crossword puzzle, her hubby yelled out, "Well, you could SPANK me." And she just laughed, in that way that non-spankos do when the subject comes up and went on chatting. I wonder how serious he was, though.

I know that you guys wrestle with the "morality" of it all when it comes to approaching a vanilla mate, but do you ever feel that way even withIN a spanking relationship? Like, "Oh, we are sooo bad?"

OR, do you have judgements about a woman who loves spanking you? Oh, I know you LOVE it, but do you think just a little bit less of her because she's not a "nice" girl?

And Ladies, do you ever have such thoughts about yourself?

As always, I am curious to know what you all think and feel about this. What's your take on it?

The ever curious,

Q & A: What does a lady like to see or hear?

Hmm, what humiliating position
shall I put him in tonight?
frank b asked this;

He would "love to know what things a lady likes to see and hear from the man she spanks. Is there an attitude or position you find more erotic. Do you prefer the spankee to take the punishment silently or do you prefer the moans and cries. Is there a position you find more interesting. In short how do we men make it more tempting."

I've polled a great deal of women who spank men  on this very topic and this is what I've heard from them ...

What do you like to see and hear?


For some reason they really like for their naughty man to protest the spanking as much as he can and to be horrified at the prospect of having to go over her lap like a child and have his pants pulled down and his bare bottom exposed. The more he verbalizes how humiliating he finds it and how unacceptable that is for him, the hotter it is for many ladies. But he has to submit, not because of her brute strength, but because the alternative is something he simply can NOT live with.

In a scenario:
A favorite is the young man (high school senior or college freshman) who has committed some heinous act (drunk driving, peeping tom, stealing her undies) that he couldn't bear his parent's knowing. His only alternative is to follow the lady's every command and take his medicine as she sees fit, no matter how embarrassing it is for him.


In real-life:
For many women it would probably be that if he doesn't submit to a real punishment spanking for some really bad behavior she feels he's committed in their relationship, then he doesn't deserve a play spanking ever again. Since I recommend you never spank a man who hasn't expressed an interest in this past-time we must assume that the gent in question craves play spankings and it would be unthinkable for him to forfeit that out of his unwillingness to pay the price of his actions.


To HEAR:
Many of the ladies have reported that they like to hear him protesting and whining and begging her to please stop. And if he get's snotty or rebellious about his spanking, that's a great reason to really light into him, which then makes him whine and beg. After a certain point, some women get aroused by hearing him moan and whimper because he's so turned on by the same very spanking. And even THAT embarrasses him.

To SEE:
Some women like a man to strip totally naked while others like to have the gent keep his shirt on because they like to have his butt framed by the material. It's seems even MORE naked and embarrassing to them somehow. When she tells him to, she really enjoys seeing him arch his back and present his butt high in the air for her, his sweet spot just for the taking. (some men think this means to stand his butt up higher with his legs, but it's really all about the arch as if someone slipped an ice-cube down his spine.)


Sometimes, a surprising amount of the ladies have admitted that like to see him present his butt and also open his legs wide so that he is totally exposed. They enjoy seeing his vulnerability.

Does that answer your question?

I always like to add to my research so,  I ask any of you ladies who are reading this, what do YOU like to see and hear? (I know that many of our readers ladies are a little shy about visiting a site or posting on a blog, so if you gents want to relay what the women who have spanked you have told you about aural and visual preferences ... go right ahead!)

PS. Oh, and in light of the economic crisis I am extending my discounted Stimulus Package for my two books PLUS the bonus "The Tea Party" book which reveals even MORE about what a woman is thinking when she spanks you!  Enjoy!

QUICKIE: What's the difference between a strong woman and a "bitch"?

There's an old joke that the definition of a bitch is a woman who just won't listen. And sadly, what makes it so ironic is that it may well be true.

This question has been dogging me in writing the book. So many women are accused of being a bitch by men if they make demands, get angry or take charge of situations. And yet it's these very things that turn you on.

Is it just certain men who think like that or have you thought or called a woman a bitch at some point in your life. If so, what prompted it. And how does it differ from a dominant woman.

Is it that the same behavior that warrants being called that - suddenly get desirable when a spanking is attached to it?

What's up with that? I'd like to clear it up for the women.

POLL: The Wilder Report I (Where did this all come from?) continued ...

Yes, YOU! For those of you who arrived late, THE WILDER REPORT is an almost scientific study I created to discover the origins of this wonderful pastime. This may be the only study of it's kind ever attempted! You can find it in the Archives under September 2006.

I only have about 100 USABLE responses on it and I would love to have 200 or more.


Here's how you post;

CHOOSE the LETTERS from my opening post first,
then your GENDER & your AGE


Like so:

A, K, L
Male 56

Then write your personal comments here, if you like.


If you have not posted exactly like this - your post CANNOT be counted! If you realize that you did it wrong - you may go back and REPOST (copy and paste your incorrect post underneath your answers so I'll know which one you were.)

Now from my stats I happen to know for a fact that we have at least 500 people checking in here almost daily, and that's a low estimate. (Yup, this is a pretty popular blog!) My point being, I need more of you to participate.

The questionnaire is lots of fun and there are plenty of fascinating true accounts already entered into the thread. If you are reading this post then I want you to go to THE WILDER REPORT and follow the instructions TO THE LETTER! Understood?

I have to be stern on this ... this study, as informal as it is, is very important to me. And I'm sure you're just as curious as I am to find out how this all came about in our heads.

So go to September, scroll down, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, pick your letters and start typing. Make sure you add your GENDER and AGE, too!

POLL: The "Original" Wilder Report I (Where did this all come from?)

Hello Gentlemen (and Ladies), Well, you know how fascinated I am by all of this so I'm very curious about how this craving started with you. I always ask the "spanko" people I meet and have noticed some trends. Some of you have had this desire since you were very small, some in your teens, some as young men and some ... very recently!

I would love to know what the percentages are - just think of me as Kinsey. (Well, I'm a bit cuter than Kinsey was.) Anyway, even though it's not very scientific, it covers everything I have heard to date.

This ... is the WILDER Report.

I'm going to list possible answers and I'm going to ask you to:

1. Type ONLY the letter(s) that apply to you at the top of the post.
2. Under that, type your gender and current age (feel free to post anonymously.)
3. If you'd like to add something (a comment, your experience, whatever) then skip a couple of spaces before you type it. This will make it easier for me to tally without having to search through your writing to find your choice.

Like so:

A, K, L
Male 56

Then write your personal comments here, if you like.


If you have not posted exactly like this - your post CANNOT be counted! If you realize that you did it wrong - you may go back and REPOST (copy and paste your incorrect post underneath your answers so I'll know which one you were.)

Thank you for your participation!

POLL: "Who ARE you? Sort of"

A three-dimensional question mark. For anyone ...Image via Wikipedia

It helps if I have a demographic of sorts. You can post anonomously, if you like, but I would just like to know the following.

Age, Gender, Marital Status, US State or European Country, Occupation

so it would read like this ...

47, M, Single, Connecticut, Pilot

or

35, M, Married, France, Lumberjack (ARE there French lumberjacks???)

Will you help me? I need to prove how men of all ages, from all walks of life are fascinated by this.
