It's the Unaspanker!Read a good manifesto lately? Meet Robin Whittle, a man who has spent an alarming amount of time on a project called "Fondly and Firmly - The Gentlemanly Art of Spanking the Woman You Love." via cruel.com

I wish I had a fetish. It all sounds so interesting. But nothing weird gets me excited.

*sigh*

...as opposed to spanking the man you love

... or spank the monkey.

... or just Spanky.

The Unaspanker could probably use a bit of Aunt Keri's brand of discipline. Or maybe that's what set him off in the first place.

I think this guy should hook up with Mary.

Why this post? Is this supposed to be something new that some of us have not been doing for some time? This is old hat down my way for many of the guys. And we have a much higher rate of marriages that do not end in divorce.

It sounds like Postroad could use a paddling...

It's been done before (and probably better).

Not to mention all the how-to books that exist out there in erotica/sexuality land.

Sorry about this mindless thread, but I felt the need for something goofy and flame-free today. There's a pretty heavy discussion about the current state of mefi over here.

I'm a day late and a dollar short here, but my brain isn't what it used to be: cruel.com is an rcade production. I found this out because he is featured on page 70 of the April issue of Wired. I'd also like to thank him for the great java books.

Yes, gimli you were right about my initial interest being on the receiving end - but reverse engineering these aspects of the female psyche has been fascinating and rewarding. I don't like the "unaspanker" title at all! My site is thoughtful, serious and playful. It has helped couples overcome serious problems and achieve harmony, respect and intimacy. Your thread here has lead to a likely breakfast show interview on New York's WYPX-106.5 FM. Thanks Jason for the link to bright Mary. Did you think of us being harmonious on account of her 64 k byte requirements for prospective mates and what you might have perceived as a tinge of prolixity in my writing?? I promise I make it as concise as possible.

My apologies if I offended you with the title. It came to me as I realized how voluminous your writings were on the subject. Also, catchy phrases often help generate participation here. I may not agree with you on this issue, but I truly meant no harm. Good luck with your interview. Do they webcast?
