Dear Aunt Kay,
My wife Jill (see "coverts make the best" real people letter 6/17/99) asked that I write this real people letter as an additional part of my protracted punishment for missing an important deadline. In my occupation I take on a number of long-term creative projects. I had been working on a particular project for several months and missed the initial deadline back in the spring. By mid-summer I still hadn't quite finished up the project and was having trouble completing it. Jill and I agreed that I needed some additional incentive for finishing.
We agreed that she would write a "shadow deadline" down on a sheet of paper (that I would not see) and seal it in an envelope. If I were to make this unknown deadline I would be rewarded but if I missed the deadline, I would receive a "punishment spanking" and extra chores as my wife's slave for a period of time of her choice. She indicated that this period of time would be prorated and the more I missed my deadline by the longer I would be subjected to the punishment of extra chores and more demanding discipline and rules to obey.
This week I finally finished the project and last night Jill sent me to the basement with all our spanking implements. I knew this wasn't a good sign and that I had probably missed my deadline. After all the implements were neatly arranged on the fireplace mantle she ordered me to stand in the corner with my shorts down and my shirt lifted. She then lectured to me saying "Since you haven't acted responsibly like an adult you are going to lose your privileges as an adult for a while. You have acted irresponsibly like a naughty boy and thus you will be treated like one, young man. And since you haven't shown self-discipline tonight I will show you the alternative--which is real discipline and that means you'll be getting a real spanking and that means it will not stop when you want it to stop or anywhere near when you want it to stop, or for that matter you will not know when it starts either. You made everyone else wait 5 months for the project. The good news for you is you don't have to wait 5 months...but I will make you wait to concentrate on why you're going to be punished and to ponder the fact that you're going to get a spanking you won't forget tonight!" With those words she left me standing in the lonely corner to wait.
After a long wait in the corner with all the spanking implements lying beside me on the mantle, the cold floor laying under my feet, and thoughts of the punishment to come reminding me of my impending date with a harsh dose of discipline, the wait seemed to last over an hour. Jill says it wasn't that long, however, and I'm certainly in no mood to question her. When she did reappear, my wife had the envelope in hand and asked me to open it. Upon opening it the card read:
Your Red-Letter Deadline is.....................a deadline beyond which time lateness in finishing your project will result in a period of disciplinary actions to be carried out at the complete command of your wife, who may 1) treat you like the naughty irresponsible boy who does not keep deadlines and 2) require disciplinary slave labor. The date of your deadline is.........................
I opened the page to the date August 24th and knew I was in BIG trouble. There on the inside were the discipline time guidelines specifying that for the first 8 days late I would perform chores for my wife for 1/4 day each, for the next 15 days the rate would be 1/3 day, for the next 20 days 1/2 a day, and each day thereafter 1 FULL DAY. She asked me to do the math and write down my extra chores period. I did and had to read out loud that I would be subjected to 31 DAYS of disciplinary chores at my wife's command.
She then ordered me to lay over a padded foot stool and get ready for a real spanking. She also handcuffed my hands together in front so I couldn't reach back to protect myself. She sat in a chair next to the stool and grabbed the large black spencer paddle and began relentlessly paddling my bare bottom. She spanked me hard and fast and without any warm-ups and was relentless! I kicked and squirmed, but she placed her leg across the small of my back to hold me down and I couldn't get free. She lectured as she continued to bring the paddle down for hard smack after smack and I buried my head into my tied hands and was near tears. She surprised me with her strength and her resolve to really spank me good.
After well over 100 hard smacks, she gave me a break to read the long list of chores I would be performing for her for the next 31 days. After I read the chores, I had to bring her the Hollerin Hollow Cane (highly recommended! ouch!) and back over the stool I went. Each swish made me wince terribly as they struck into my already tender bottom. She caned me with a stern demeanor and harshly and after the caning she instructed me to stand in the corner and read my next list--it was a list of spanking games we would play 3 nights a week at 9:30 when I finished performing her chores. All of the games were stacked to Jill's satisfaction, and she delights at the prospect of playing spanking games at her every whim.
She then spanked me some more with a belt and asked if I was ready for dinner yet. I meekly replied yes but she said, "Too bad because I'm not. I'm ready to do some more spanking!" She still had great stamina and spanked me with a fraternity paddle, a wooden spoon, and a hairbrush--ouch!! To remind me of my punishment I was not allowed to put my shorts back on and I spent the rest of the night bare. Later in the mirror I saw that Jill had literally *blistered* my bottom and I still wince as I sit or get up from sitting.
The Shadow Deadline punishment was more than I ever imagined it would be and I still have a month of extra chores.
As intense and dreadful as the spanking itself was, I have to say that your DWC philosophy has done wonders for our already wonderful relationship! Not only will I be sure to make my next major project deadline (I sure won't want to repeat this spanking again) but it has added an exciting new element to our relationship and allowed my wife to take complete control which is satisfying to both of us. She never feels compelled to complain, since a spanking is more effective, always an option, and something that we've both agreed is necessary when she feels it is warranted.
Perhaps even more encouraging to some of your readers with "vanilla" spouses or lovers is that Jill has demonstrated the adage "converts make the best...spankers" beyond my wildest dreams.
We incorporated spanking into our relationship very slowly and I showed her the DWC page. I did not pressure her into giving me a hard spanking the first time. Our first attempt did not live up to my unrealistic expectations, and the spanking was "too light" compared to what I had hoped for but rather than be disheartened, I let her know how intensely pleased I was that she was willing to explore new things and that I'd be glad to pursue such things at her pace. This is I expect where most men miss out by not letting "her" dictate the pace. How things have changed---now Jill spanks with the demeanor, force and confidence of someone who is completely confident and absolutely in control!! And believe me she has perfected the art of discipline (perhaps even too well)!
She is completely in charge and neither of us would want it any other way. Our relationship, always wonderful, is even better with Jill absolutely in charge and a complete convert to the DWC philosophy!
Thanks Aunt Kay, your site is great!
