Thanks for the welcome Billy.

You are right about us wanting to fit into groups. I am happy to be part of this group and already feel comfortable!

Hats off to you BV. I could not agree more with your answer to this thread.

P.S. I'm glad you kicked that pneumonia pal-I was praying for you.

To me, spanking is where someone is hitting someone else's bottom! BDSM is a wide range of bondage, discipline, submission, dominance, sadism, masochism and probably some other things.

I think it's really fluid though. In my travels through the internet I find spanking sites that have things I don't like and BDSM sites that have stuff that really turn me on. But I would say that I'm more into spanking and submission than I'm into bdsm if I had to slap a label on myself.

Hi Indigo Velvet,

Yes, the act of spanking is one person striking another person's bottom, but I doubt that it is that 'bland' for very many people.
What about the trust and confidence that both parties must have in each other in order to safely engage in such an activity?

As I have been told many times 'Anyone can strike a bottom' and this is true, physically anyone can do that, but doesn't it take someone a bit special, someone you trust, someone you know that they will not take you beyond your limits, to make it a worthwhile experience?

Isn's it worth anything to know that you are being spanked because someone cares enough about you to spank you, rather that just be spanked for the sake of smacking a bottom???
