Emma Bishop is an English spanko and lives in the Midlands/South East area of England. You may know of her spanking adventures from her website The Trouble with Emma. I caught up with Emma in October 2009…

Hi Emma, I’ve just been reading your blog. What is your spanking school?

Spanking school? Well, I think in my blog that’s a turn of phrase when I talk about having mentoring i.e. ‘going back to school’? It’s not an actual place but a situational state. I have had on/off periods when I was ‘back at school’ and it’s about having that discipline.

I know you’ve said that you do a lot of improvisation, when you are playing do you trust the other person enough to just roll with it from the outset? Or do you say in advance what you’re going to do?

That’s a great question! I have been so very lucky with the people I have worked with, and those I have seriously role played with in that without exception all have been natural leaders. Playing opposite a strong authoritative person naturally gets me into my space and I’m so ‘there’. My job is easy, who wouldn’t be with such great actors to play alongside Yes, I trust them because I am strong on trusting my instincts and going with the flow. I never rely on a script but just feelings and my method acting style.

Can you tell me a bit about the UK spanking scene?

The scene? Well, I’m not really a scenie. I go to events and parties but its most often social or some kind of PR for me. Here goes though… My view is that the UK scene is probably more open than most. There are forums such as British Spanking, Fetlife, Informed Consent and ALT. People can buddy up either online or pop along to a munch (daytime meal/drink in a vanilla setting) or, go to an organized non-professional party run by shared kinksters. On the professional side, there are private 121′s pretty much as the oldest trade has always been (lol!), and parties run on a professional basis. Additionally the girls appear in spanking movies and photo shoots. Now is that enough info for a non UK person?!

Haha, awesome

Oh, I went to a party in Copenhagen once when I was shooting there and it was VERY cloak and dagger like something out of ‘Allo Allo’ lol!!

Or like Eyes Wide Shut?

Haven’t seen that yet, Nicole Kidman?

Yeah, and Tom Cruise, the book’s good too. Check it out.

Yes I will, if its anything like The Secretary (which I can bore you for ages about parallels and how spooked I was when I saw it), then I’m sure it will touch a nerve!

Wow, cool, I DO want to ask u about The Secretary but first, how did u get to go to a cloak and dagger spanking party in Denmark?

I was doing a shoot there and my friend/associate at the time managed to find out about a club on the outskirts of town. It was more of a BDSM type party but run by people who knew each other really well, very much like a family type atmosphere in a village hall lol! When we got there we were quizzed on who tipped us off, how we knew them etc and eventually managed to talk ourselves in.

It felt like being in an old style western though being looked at like “Hey Sheriff, lookey here, there’s a stranger in town!” (hee hee)

[They had some] some good props, spanking benches etc, like a play room in a small BDSM club anywhere really. Apart from the skæreost lol (just kidding!!) That’s Danish cheese

Did you like that party?

Well, I had a bit to drink and we played semi privately. I was tied to a stand and it was more erotic play, light flogging etc, and of course the cane. We got invited back and to their Summer Camp but I haven’t been able to go. [It’s] a nice memory now.

Now you’re a part of their community, cool. Sounds like fun! Do you like BDSM as well?

I’ve been embroiled in oh-so-long debates about what constitutes ‘BDSM’. At one time I said I was only into spanking and can still clearly see a line between BDSM and DD (Domestic Discipline). I am more heavily in the DD camp but over the past few years have dabbled into BDSM territory. Things like hot candle wax, Estim machines, pony play and bondage. When I tried them I giggled and had great fun. I’d always thought of it as being heavy and that I had to be deadly serious and in the headspace. Once I realized it is also about relaxation and that I can also relax and enjoy it as an experience, it was easier. Now I am curious and admit I like a bit more of it!

BUT.. I’m not a slut/slave victim or doormat guys so please, no more lewd attempts to get me to turn That goes to a few who have dated me and one in particular who asked me if id mind having shit thrown at me, as his previous slave loved it!!

The secretary is one of those iconic movies, I’ve seen the poster everywhere, but I’ve never watched the movie. Were you into spanking when you first saw it?

Oh by far, hell yes! But, I didn’t realize that I had had ‘the secretary’ experience myself until I saw it in the film. The moment when she waits for him to come back and punish her, and waits, and waits. I cried when I saw it and was shaking, it was a weird experience like “OMG that happened to me, I know EXCATLY what she is feeling! He didn’t come and a denial experience like that is one of the most painful things that has ever happened to me as a submissive.

I’m going to buy that DVD on Amazon today, does she get spanked?

Ok, look out for that moment. Yes, but the spanking looks very un-authentic. To the viewer it is erotic enough to hear it and know it’s going on but to any experienced spankophile we all know it was heavily staged. Maggie Gyllenhaal is actually a great actress, I have seen her in movies since and I admire her for taking that part she was superb in it and got the character and her feelings and emotions spot on.

I would have love that part since I have now acted a lot more for real.

You mention acting, how’s that going?

Slow lol!! I don’t have a time limit on anything but will take every chance I ever get. It’s rather like being an Olympic athlete, staying in training and being prepared are the most important tools. It is the hardest thing to break into though. As someone said.. “Acting is a terrible way to make a living but a wonderful way to live a life” ..So true!

As for spanking movies, I am always ready for the call but am not out there chasing them. I hope my so called bad girl reputation goes before me and that is enough of a challenge

Think Katherina and Petruchio haha

Hehe. Your first ever spanking was with a retired headmaster who placed an ad for girls to spank. At the time, had you had thoughts about spankings, and just saw an ad in a paper or online? Or had you started talking to other spankos?

I had always had thoughts about it, but all private. I thought it was something not to talk about and didn’t know there was a whole world of people into it. I guessed that if people were advertising then it must be relatively safe as they probably had to give their personal details to be able to post an Ad. I was very naive for a long time and looking back got into some scrapes that could have been hairy but thankfully I only ever met lovely safe trustworthy souls

That’s good! So, reading some of your answers it seems to me that the scared feeling, is a big part of spanking for you.

It is the height of the whole experience for me, but it has to feel real, or else I draw on my training to trigger it. When I really am scared, I am there in a personal way and it affects me such that I take a long time to come down afterwards. That’s has only happened a few times in my career but that’s as it should be, Special moments by their nature need something far out to make them happen.

I know that you weren’t spanked growing up but that you recall one time when your dad took off his belt and that was all you needed to be good. So, I guess as a child, and when your dad took off his belt, that made you scared, and stuck with you so when u saw the ad you had to respond.

Yes it was the taking off of the belt feeling. The waiting, the telling off, the anticipation, the not knowing, that is the most real experience anyone can have I think.

So it is scary, but it’s also a safe scary, so you know that whatever happens you’re going to be ok. It’s not like crossing the road blindfolded.

Well at the moment I don’t look that far ahead and remind myself it is just ‘play’. If I did I would lose a lot and I doubt it would all appear as ‘real’ as it really is for me at the time. When I tremble, cry before punishment, scratch my skin and wrangle with my hands so hard they are marked when I am waiting for punishment , it is all what I am really going through. These things have actually happened so I am not going to pretend I am a great actress. The difference is that now I know how to make it happen in the same way if the other person isn’t able to bring that out of me.

But I have never used a safeword if that what you mean.

Ok. Coming down from the high, is that the subdrop? How long does it take and how does it feel?

That depends on who, what, when and how.. OMG hard to quantify. In my most serious moments, I have been found outside the room crying, sometimes in a chair or wherever I may fall, often on the floor in a heap and being inconsolable. That has scared people who I have worked/played with who of course genuinely care about me. I can’t help it though and hate myself sometimes for being too serious about it all but the cathartic release from it is something I need at that time so I have to have that space. When it happened to me in a serious acting role and I came out of a performance and had to say goodbye to a character I grew to love, I cried a lot the next day. I know now it isn’t about being spanked, or pain.

Do u like implements? What’s your favourite implement?

OTK hand spanking always, but only when its given ‘right’. The cane I love now as it tests me, but I hate it when it doesn’t feel right, it feels like I have been deprived. I’m not so into heavy straps, just things that sting more, and absolute not into deep bruising.

I know that you were once dommed by Leia Ann Woods, what was that like?

Lol yes Leia. The movie isn’t out yet and I’m not sure if/when it will be but it was something that surprised me. The gorgeous Leia, an absolute icon in the scene, taking on a role I didn’t expect her to be in with me. As it happens, and I told her this at the time, she is an expert with a cane and one of the best. I was soooo surprised but that is the benefit of good training, I think, and also she has the advantage of being a naturally brilliant actress.

Generally do u prefer men or women to domme you?

Men or women? Well, I loved watching Miss Brown in the Red Stripe videos and she is someone I would love to have worked with because she has what it takes to get me in the moment I think. Lucy McLean was fantastic too and as she spoke to me and told me she was ‘telling my parents’. I was sooo in the moment. She also knew what and how to do it all. I can mention three other brilliant women I’ve been dommed by who have totally done it for me in terms of finding my headspace. Sorry I’m rambling but I think as long at there is authority, control and getting me to know my place with them then I can be there with both….fence sitting I know but hey!!

Is spanking a sexual thing for you?

Easy to answer. Erotic, but the level of that is based on the other person, and sensuous. Sexual? If that means do I want to have sex with the person afterwards then I’d have to say “No”. The sexual bit comes later when I’m thinking about it, nursing a sore bottom or sent to my room I clearly separate spanking and sex but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it.

So, you get sent to your room, think about it and get turned on, then you want to maybe have sex with your partner (not necessarily the person who spanked you)?

Well, nothing is in any particular order lol and I can’t say that I always feel sexy after every spanking but if I do I can safely say I would only want to have sex with my serious and lovely boyfriend Definitely not on camera though in a movie!

If there is such a thing as spanking superstars, then Amelia Jane Rutherford is definitely one of a very select few. The English bondage and spanking model goes by the name of Amelia for spanking and Ariel Anderssen for her bondage work. Amelia has worked with nearly everyone from Firm Hand Spanking to Clare Fonda to Dallas Spanks Hard.

This interview took place in February 2009.

When was your first spanking?

It was very late I’m afraid. I was thinking about spanking for a long time but the first time I was spanked was when I was 23. So I waited a long time for that to happen.

When I was about 18 I realized that my childhood was definitely behind me and the time when you are most at risk of being spanked is in your childhood. And I realized that mine had certainly passed with no spanking happening. And I remember thinking at the age of 18 sort of thinking “oh no, I’ve missed that opportunity, obviously no-ones going to spank me now because I’m a grownup”. I remember thinking that’s really sad and I started wondering what job I could go into that would make it more likely that something like spanking would happen. I couldn’t think of one at all. I thought maybe the army, I’d get captured and tortured but that really wasn’t what I wanted to happen. No I wanted spanking. And so no, I remember being quite in despair really.

Was the first time with a boyfriend?

Yes. He’s my ex boyfriend. So my first spanking was with someone I now have no respect for and no relationship with. And, of course, looking back my first spanking was rubbish because he didn’t know what he was doing. But, of course, at the time it was the most exciting thing in the world. But I suppose, while that was the first time I was spanked the first time it properly happened was when I went to my first spanking shoot, because then I was working with a professional who knew exactly what he was doing. I remember I was very very frightened because I thought I don’t actually know how much this is going to hurt. You know, I’d watched a lot of videos but I’d had no idea how bad this was going to be. [The shoot] started and I thought “oh no, I’m not into this, this really hurts”. But then afterwards I enjoyed remembering it so I thought “no, the kink’s still there!”

Why do you think that professionals spank hard and boyfriends and girlfriends don’t?

It’s very interesting how much variety there is in how hard spanking is considering it’s the same thing, everyone’s using their hand, if we just talk about hand-spanking. And I think obviously loads of people play around with spanking in the bedroom. Even if they’re not particularly into it. And, I guess, that kind of spanking can be quite light and quite playful. But if you’re really wanting to make a good video or if you’re really wanting to play seriously it’s a whole different experience. And in my experience of doing it for fun and at work it seems like people who have been doing it for a while, I’m not sure what happens to their hands, maybe their hands get desensitized. Because actually spanking someone, if you’ve never done it before, really hurts your hand. I tried it a couple of times. I don’t like it, it’s not my scene, but I tried it and the pain in your hand is much worse than the pain of being spanked. So I think these people who have been doing it for a while get like this weapon on the end of their arm. And, you know it’s scary, you know if you meet one of those people.

Do you prefer playing for fun vs. working?

When I’m playing for fun I like things to feel quite serious. So, I don’t like playful spanking ever. I like it always to feel real and always to feel like a serious event. So, I’m sure there are people who can take it harder at work than they want to in their personal life, for me it might even be the other way round. In a movie I’m always a little bit distracted by trying to do a good job and trying to look nice. But, in my private life, I can concentrate on nothing except the spanking. And so then I think maybe my tolerance goes up in private.

Something about subs and dommes…

Sometimes when I’m playing or even at a video shoot I sometimes feel quite guilty because the person who’s getting all the sensation of the spanking, which obviously for people who like it is great, is the sub. So the sub gets all the sensation, most of the physical experience of the spanking is felt by me, the bottom. Sometimes I think, because I’m not a top and don’t switch, that I just can’t see what you get out of it if you’re the top or the domme. And I guess I never really will. Some people try to explain it to me but it just seems like such a removed way of getting pleasure, but for me I’m getting the sensation, I’m getting the endorphins and I’m getting the adrenaline and that’s lovely. I wish I could see it from the top’s point of view but I guess I never will.

You said that people who give a lot of spankings get harder hands. Has your bottom developed a tolerance too?

Well, the first time I did a spanking movie it was moderately intense but not over the top at all and my whole bottom went black, pure bruising for over a week. And then the next few times I did a spanking video the same thing, terrible bruising. And then my bottom started to recover much faster and bruise less. Now it has to be something quite severe in order to get really bad marks for more than a day. Unfortunately the pain I feel is exactly the same as the first time and I don’t think that’s ever going to change now. I do know girls who have been doing it for long enough that their tolerance keeps getting higher and they need more to get themselves to the same level of excitement. But for me every time is kind of like a first time, but my bottom is telling a different story really.

What is it that you like about a spanking?

Some masochists or submissives say it’s about the pain, and for those people even hurting themselves they can get some pleasure from it. So from time to time they might not have a partner and they say “oh well, I just do so and so to myself”. Now that doesn’t appeal to me at all because for me it’s all about being controlled. So for me I can have a really fun spanking session or BDSM session and there doesn’t actually have to be any spanking there can be all these other things that make me think all my control has been taken away from me and that I’m being punished. So, it’s not all about the sensation, although I like the sensation. I think I would agree with people who say it’s all about the feeling afterwards rather than the feeling at the time. Certainly during the first spanking I ever experienced that’s exactly what I felt, I felt my gosh, this is just horrible, then afterwards I thought “mmm yeah it’s horrible” [cheeky grin] So yeah I think I might be one of those people who isn’t a true masochist, it’s much more from my temperament that I get my pleasure I think.

It’s tricky talking about the things I like as well as spanking because I know that some people that love spanking don’t like the other stuff that for me goes along with it quite naturally. So all my life I’ve fantasized about spanking alongside being kidnapped, tied up or abused or just treated really badly by someone in authority. So, for me there’s a really wide variety of stuff that I like to do and I like to do in movies. But for me I either have to do straight spanking in movies or I have to go and do a bondage movie. And there’s not much that does both unless I was prepared to do hardcore work, which I’m not. So at home, because I get to do loads of spanking movies, I tend to like things that are a bit more subtle and a bit more psychological. So, at my house there are lots of house rules that I have to keep. And it wouldn’t make a good movie because it’s far too subtle and not very visual, but it gives me a lot of happiness. And for me it makes me feel very similar to how being spanked makes me feel.

It sounds like a really subtle form of roleplaying.

My fantasy life involves a lot more storytelling and the stories I tell in my head are kind of complicated. I certainly know people who could totally fantasize about a hand coming down on their bottom and they way that felt, but for me I need to know why, who the person doing it is so all this has to be constructed in my head before it starts to be a fantasy. So my fantasies are quite complicated and that’s one reason I really like making spanking movies because you get to play out the whole story leading up to the spanking. Which is why I like to make spanking movies a lot more than I like to make spanking clips. Because a five minute clips just doesn’t have time for a great big story about what a naughty girl you’ve been, whereas a movie definitely does and that’s where I get a lot of my pleasure from.

Favourite spanking fantasy?

My favourite spanking fantasies change quite a lot but they split into two branches.

The first is getting spanked for something I definitely did by someone who has the moral high ground by someone who is quite kind but very stern. A good example of this would be your classic school fantasy. I’ve just been appalling and this kind teacher, who’s getting no pleasure in having to punish me, punishes me anyway, just for my own good. That’s really hot.

But, the other branch of my main fantasies is being treated really badly and being very much the innocent victim. And, in that kind of fantasy I’m wearing a white dress and am very scared and very victim-y and the person doing the spanking is a cruel Viking warlord or something and definitely does not have the moral high ground, just has the power.

So those are my two favourite families of fantasies. If I’m looking for a fantasy I’d always go to those two first.

Chicken and egg theory. Does porn create certain fantasies?

In my experience porn doesn’t create a taste in you. I feel like you already have sexual tastes and go find something that matches it. Because certainly I’ve watched examples of porn that weren’t my thing and it did nothing for me. I’ve watched balloon fetish and it hasn’t spoken to me personally. No, I feel like your sexual identity is fixed by the time you’re old enough to see porn. I can see that if you got hold of it when you were very young it would certainly affect you. But when I hear people talking about the power of pornography to change people they’re always talking about other people, it’s not changed them. I don’t see porn having the power to do that myself, for me.

Spanking implements?

Before I got spanked if you’d have asked me what I fantasized about being hit with I’m not entirely sure because all I remember is fantasizing about the scenarios so when I moved into doing spanking stuff professionally I wasn’t sure what the options were implement-wise. But then I did some research and I discovered that the cane is really the thing to be scared of. So the first time I was caned I hated it but it was the thing I found myself thinking about the most afterwards. So, for me it’s very complicated, the things I like most are the things I hate most, and the things I can take and feel ok with I guess don’t excite me so much.

So, there’s the intimacy of hand spanking and I think that most spankees would agree that it’s the most personal of all the CP implements and if I can’t be hand spanked I rather have the complete opposite extreme and have the most formal, terrifying scary implement.

I don’t like paddles because I just find them a bit too scary and not in a good way. As the paddle’s going back and I know it’s going to hit me in my head I have this picture of my pelvis just splitting in two from the impact. Whereas no other implement makes me feel like that so there’s something about the paddle, it just seems like to heavy an implement to me to meet with flesh. But everything else I actually like.

Any kind of fantasy you haven’t done but would like to? And why?

My fantasies change quite a lot so I don’t ever think I’ll get to the stage where I’ll have run out of spanking fantasies and move onto something else. I like the idea of being spanked by someone who isn’t English, just for being English for all the crimes we’ve committed over the centuries. That just came out of nowhere and I feel like I’ll always have fantasies like that, that just come out of nowhere. No I feel like I’ll never get to the end of the fantasy world.

Favourite Position?

My favourite position is an unoriginal one, it’s probably what most people like, and it’s over the knee. And I like it because you can be held down while you’re spanked, which is one of my favourite things. So normally if you see my movies you’ll see my arm flail out like that to protect my bottom. And it’s not usually not because I want to protect my bottom, it’s usually because I want them to do the best thing which is grabbing my arm and putting it behind my back. So, I think that will always be my favourite position.

But, that said I like formal punishments, so really formal exposed kind of positions, maybe on a trestle or over an A-frame, something like that would make me quite happy as well because it feels quite judicial, which I like.

Men / women spanking you and why?

All my fantasies all my life have been about men spanking me. Never fantasized about a woman spanking me and I guess that’s simply down to the fact that I’m heterosexual. The idea of a girl doing it never really did much for me. That said, as a professional spankee, I do scenes from time to time with a woman doing it. And I have found that it is certainly a different experience for me but because it’s a woman for some reason I really feel this responsibility to be quite brave. I don’t mind making this big fuss and crying all over a man but I’m certainly not prepared to do that with a woman spanking me. So I feel a lot more competitive because a lot of the ladies who are spanking you as a top started off as a bottom so I certainly don’t want them thinking “oh dear, she’s not very tough, is she” So, actually the experience is very different, less sexy but quite interesting for me.

So, spankings are sexual?

I don’t think that if spankings weren’t sexual for me, I don’t think I could take the pain of them. Because I don’t have a high pain tolerance, some people just do, and I don’t. And I know that from time to time a shoot will happen that really isn’t my cup of tea or I’m not feeling particularly comfortable with the person doing the spanking or something else has gone wrong or I’m not feeling very well.. and I notice that because I’m not finding it very sexual at all, all I can notice is how much it hurts. And this doesn’t happen very much at all, but on those occasions I’ve thought “bloody hell, what am I doing? This is a terrible way of making a living” So no, if it’s not sexual I can’t really take it to be honest.

In that case, if you don’t do porn but you do spanking, isn’t that the same thing?

You could certainly argue that shooting spanking movies is like shooting porn, and I can’t argue with that. I can’t argue with the fact that for some people it would seem like exactly the same thing. To me I suppose I wanted to do it so much I didn’t really care. As a mainstream model I’d worked out what my limits were and I so wanted to do spanking that I don’t think I can afford to care what people might think it is or isn’t. I’m just going to do it and I’m going to do it under my terms, which means that I’m not going to suddenly have someone using a vibrator on me just because they’ve been allowed to spank me. I’m not going to do open leg shots just because I’m doing spanking work. I’m going to do spanking and that’s going to be it. And something that I’ve been quite strict about is not shooting sexual scenes, so I don’t like to do scenes where my character is supposed to be getting sexual pleasure from being spanked. I want to keep it as a quite straight punishment scenario. And how sexual people find that to watch.. well I hope they do find it sexual, of course, but for me it’s a world away from shooting something that is explicitly sexual because I think the sexuality of spanking is much more complicated and hidden that the sexuality of a porn film.

Pixie (also called Amber Pixie Wells) is one of the most-loved and well-known spanking models around today. The cute blonde is not only a spanking model, she is also webmaster, producer, director, photographer, and many other roles. The talented and lovely American from the east coast of the US tells us all about herself and thoughts on spanking on her blog aswell as starring in, designing and directing Punished Brats. Pixie was kind enough to answer these questions in January 2010…

I’ve been reading your interview on spreview and you say there that you’ve always had a high pain threshold. Do you like being spanked very hard and having your limits tested?

It’s not so much that I want to constantly test my limits but that I want to be spanked hard enough that I do not in any way have to fake a reaction. I want to truly feel punished even if it’s within the context of a scene.

Also on the limits topic, everyone is different but I’ve heard a lot about subspace and how you may not be able to say stop whilst in the middle of a spanking. How does this affect you and how do you stay in control of yourself during a scene?

For those very intense scenes where that might occur, I have to feel 110% safe and trusting of the person that is going to be giving the spanking to know to check in or be able to read my body language to know when enough is enough.

How do you like to be spanked in a scene? How is this different, if at all, from a private spanking with your husband?

I like my scenes to be disciplinary in nature. They can have an element of humor or be straight forward punishment for a misdeed, but I love the discipline aspect as opposed to moaning in pleasure sexual spankings. The spankings I receive from my husband cover a wider range. Many times he’ll give me a few swats just for fun or mock discipline (a spanking for a silly excuse), sometimes full, hard punishment sessions when I need them, and on occasion more playful spankings that lead to romantic activity. That sort of spanking is reserved for my hubby only.

I’ve heard someone say that there is a skill to being a sub in a scene. Are you better in the scenes you’re in now than when you first started out? What changed?

I always strive to constantly improve in everything I do – from improving on camera performance to lifting heavier weights at the gym to growing a bigger garden. Never stop learning, never stop growing. So yes, I hope that I’ve improved since I first started.

What I think has changed most is my comfort level with the camera. I always knew that I had an ability to take a hard spanking, but I was very intimidated by having to speak on camera and react to the spankings. I was afraid I’d say something stupid of that my reactions would look awkward. Now, I really enjoy the opportunity to take on the role of a sassy brat or a ditzy cheerleader. I have far less of a problem speaking up and I enjoy getting to cry, yell, kick, and squirm through my spanking. I think it helps convey the intensity of what I’m feeling to the viewers better that way.

As a fan, it seems to me that a lot of the time female tops spank harder than male tops. It seems that the men are too respectful. Any truth to this? What makes a good top?

I haven’t found this to necessarily be the case. I have received and watched very hard spankings given by both male and female spankers.

For me, a good top is one that holds safety as his number one priority, respects limits, and is eager to find mutual interest within the scene so that both he and the bottom are happy and satisfied after the spanking.

Do you have a fav scene / type of scene on Punished Brats?

This may sound silly, but I really like getting to play the ditzy, naughty cheerleader. Perhaps this is because that is the total opposite of who I was in high school. I was the quiet, straight A, band geek, wallflower who would never cause trouble. I also love getting disciplined by a school authoritarian and it’s even better when I have another girl getting punished alongside me.

Which of the brats on Punished Brats are hot at the moment? Anyone to look out for in the future? As a producer/director what makes a good brat?

I’d say all of them are hot!! We are very fortunate to have had amazing girls and big fan favourites such as Lily Anna, Bronte, Mischa, Tina Tink, and Lilly Page come and work with us this past year and we look forward to having them back again throughout 2010. Of course we will also be introducing some fresh faces as well. We have a new brat Lorraine filming with us for the January shoot and a few more girls lined up for the spring.

We like the girls to be reactive and have a bit of sass in their character. We don’t want them to quietly submit to their punishment and then lie motionless throughout their spanking. We want a bit of fire in their personality as a fire is lit on their bottoms.

Your blog is amazing, I like the pretty photos and discussions/rants. Do you enjoy writing it?

I absolutely love writing for my blog! I’ve never been able to keep a journal or diary before, but the interactive nature of the blog thanks to all of the wonderful readers who provide feedback and comments motivates me to post faithfully. I greatly enjoy having a place to share my thoughts about spanking as well as my day-to-day life and vanilla pursuits and the opportunity to relate to others that may share similar interests. The sense of community is fantastic.

I must admit though that at times I can find blogging stressful. I fuss over what to post – am I posting enough photos? Too many? Will what I say be interpreted correctly or potentially be inflammatory? What topic can I visit that I haven’t already written about? The occasional panic of OMG, my next update is due and I am short on time and/or ideas. Yeah, I get a little stressed, but it’s certainly a labor of love and I only stress out because it’s something I’m passionate about.

You were saying in a rant that the sub shouldn’t be too eager to jump over the top’s lap. Let’s be clear that we only approve of consensual spankings. In terms of a spanking fantasy, is being forced to submit to a spanking against your will a fantasy that you’ve had?

In general, of course it’s more than fine for a sub to jump over a top’s lap. Within the context of consensual play, the sub wants to get spanked. But if you’re doing a role play or a scene in which the spanking is supposed to be punishment and it’s not desired, it seems odd to me to say “no, please don’t spank me” and then do an eager swan dive over the knee to get spanked.

My fantasies tend to run towards discipline, school discipline being a major favourite of mine. I’m not looking for something terrifying or torturous, but I do like a strict authoritative figure to order me into taking a spanking that I’ve earned but do not want.

There seems to be a few different kinds of subs, some like the physical feeling of being spanked, others like the “roleplay” (getting told off) part and others like the humiliation or the attention or the loss of control. What is it about spanking that you’re into? If you like the physical feeling do you like the pain as it is happening or the feeling afterwards?

I like the anticipation of a spanking. Not necessarily the telling off, but knowing that my fate is sealed and I’m about to be punished. I then hate the initial pain of the spanking, when the sting and burn is at its worst. My enjoyment of the experience reaches another peak about midway through when I am feeling each smack of the spanking, but the skin is warm and my adrenaline has kicked in so more of the “thud” feeling is registering. Towards the end of the spanking when I’m not able to take much more, it’s once again very unpleasant. When the spanking is all over, I do enjoy the feelings afterwards. I’m relaxed, totally spent, and I even enjoy the deep muscle soreness that may linger for a few days reminding me of the spanking I took.

Pandora Blake is a pretty, brunette spanking model from the UK. She has appeared on many spanking sites including British spanking websites Northern Spankings and Bars and Stripes. Not only does she let us see her getting spanked in her scenes, but Pandora also writes about her thoughts and experiences in her excellent blog Spanked, Not Silenced and also her personal website Pandora’s Bot.

We caught up with Pandora in April 2010.

When was your first spanking? How did you get into it? What turned you on to it?

I’m going to have to answer these separately, I think. I don’t know what turned me on to spanking, but I know that fantasising about kinky stuff was one of my very first memories, and I was very aware of my secret desires all through my childhood. I was first turned on to spanking at a very young age. By the time I started school my guilty interest in it was already fully formed.

My first consensual spanking experience was actually as a top. When I was 13 my best friend was 15, and she and I used to fool around. We never dated, but there were lots of clandestine caresses after lights out. She preferred to play roleplay games – I guess she felt safer being in character than accepting that she might be bisexual or gay – and one night, one of our roleplays led to spanking. I initiated it and I put her over my knee. She let me smack her a few times, but she was very nervous in case her parents (who were asleep in the same house, would you believe!) overheard, so I stopped and let her up. I found it very hot, but at the same time I knew that what I wanted most was to be spanked myself.

I got my chance three years later. I was friends with a boy who liked me, but at that age I was pretty sure I was gay, so I’d told him nothing would happen. We talked a lot, and realised we shared a lot of interests – including spanking, bondage and other kinky stuff. We browsed anime and BDSM porn online and eventually he asked if I’d like to play sometime. I thought it over, and a few days later came back and said sure. I was so desperate to experiment, this seemed like the chance of a lifetime. He was my friend, and I trusted him. But I made very sure he understood it would be just as friends, because I didn’t have romantic feelings for him.

It turned out to be the most incredibly intense scene. We played a silence game I’d fantasised about. He whipped me with a riding crop and if I made a sound, I got two more strokes. The whipping eventually ended somewhere over a hundred when both of us had lost count. I was so aroused I could barely speak. We played again a couple of weeks later, and after that I accepted that I must be bisexual after all, and we got together. We had great fun for a couple of years, but split up amicably when I went to university.

I’ve just been reading your blog. You’re very frank and descriptive about your sexuality and lovemaking, and it’s very well-written indeed. The thing that leaps out at me from reading “About Me” is that you have 2 Doms. What’s it like having two Doms?

Thankyou! It’s lovely of you to say so.

Having two Doms – you know, I’m really not sure I can generalise. I imagine it’s totally different depending on who your partners are. It means I get to share my life with two different people who share different aspects of my interests and stimulate me in different ways. The two D/s dynamics are very different. They’re both very good for me, but I get different things from each of them.

It also means that if one of them is stressed or tired, I can lean on the other one for strength and patience to feed back to the person who needs it. And it means if one of them isn’t in the mood to spank me, I can always ask the other! The arrangement is founded on mutual trust, respect and lots of communication. We have an IRC channel just for the three of us, and we hang out and chat in there most days.

What do you mean by “feminist ethos” in your spanking films?

This is such a huge question I think I’m going to have to write a book on it someday! I’m trying to answer this question through my blog at the moment. Firstly, I think it’s about treating all your models, but especially male and female spankees, with dignity and respect. That means treating them like royalty during the shoot, and not calling them a “dirty whore” in the marketing for the films. It’s also about presenting kink and sexuality in a positive, affirming way – so no women being spanked for being “slutty”, or anyone being made to feel ashamed for their sexuality.

I’m trying to overturn some of what I see as sexist standards in the industry. Feminist spanking porn should focus on the female gaze – that’s what women are looking for in erotic material. It means sexy male tops and spankees, as well as sexy female ones. I want hunky male tops with voices that will take my breath away, and vulnerable boys who have beautiful spankable bottoms. For me, it also means writing scenarios with interesting, plausible stories, and characters who have developed personalities and aren’t just a bit of flesh. And most importantly, it means everyone involved in making it should have fun, should never be made to feel pressured or uncomfortable.

Some of the porn I want to make is very edgy and intense, so if I’m filming a very nasty non-consensual scenario, it can be difficult to communicate this ethos through the stories themselves. This is why blogging is so important, so that the models – this is especially important for submissive models – have a voice which transcends that of their mistreated character in the film. It makes the industry more transparent and helps everyone stay safer. And it means that even if you’ve just watched a nail-bitingly difficult scene, you can read the spankee’s version of events, and hear why they did it and what they got out of it. For me that’s a huge part of my enjoyment, especially with more violent scenes.

How did you become a spanking model? What was the first time like?

This is kind of a long story and I’ve actually already told it on my blog – do you mind if I link to that? The short version is that I started out doing nude modelling while I was a student. I already had a bit of experience of kink from playing with lovers, and after I’d done a bit of bondage modelling I was invited to do a simulated stills spanking shoot. I loved it, insisted on taking 6 real strokes of the cane, and have never looked back.

Do you have a high tolerance of pain? Do you bruise easily? What are your limits?

I’ve been told I have a pretty high tolerance. I tend not to enjoy a spanking unless I feel pushed, but my tolerance definitely changes from day to day. Some days the lightest of spankings will be a huge challenge – other days it feels like I can take it indefinitely. These days I don’t bruise easily, like most people who play regularly.

My limits would take a whole other essay to describe! One thing I never do with anyone is cunt punishment. In some ways I’m a bit of a pain slut, but my cunt is the one part of my body no-one is allowed to hurt.

How do you like to be spanked? What would be the perfect spanking?

It varies depending on the person and the day. I enjoy different things from different spankers. Right now, I would quite like a slow-paced, deep, erotic spanking. Very hard, very slow, with lots of caresses and murmured encouragement. Perhaps starting with hand and then moving on to my heavy leather paddle. I like earning the respect of my Dom by being brave and obedient, and then being taken to the next level and tested all over again.

Has your taste in spanking changed since you first got into it?

It’s definitely broadened since I started spanking modelling. I find most of the scenes I see in my work hot in one way or another, and I feel like my kink has expanded and stretched. It’s like the more you exercise that part of your brain, the more active it is. As I’ve grown up I’ve got better at identifying and enforcing my personal boundaries and not taking any shit from people, so every scene I play these days, I enjoy to the full. I feel like I’m getting kinkier as I get older, but thinking back to my childhood I was always pretty kinky!

Do you ever switch?

Not really. I switch sometimes on shoots, in certain contexts – playing the bullying prefect or angry older sister. I can’t manage to play a proper authority figure, although I might learn as I get older. I enjoy admiring the bodies of pretty men and women, and I definitely enjoy the physical act of spanking when I get the chance to do it. Psychologically, though, unless I’m acting I feel utterly silly and out of place whenever I try, so it doesn’t happen much.

I sometimes think that less corporal punishment happens than it used to, maybe in the future no-one will be into spanking. What do you think?

I actually think the opposite! My experience is that kink is becoming more common as it is better accepted and understood, not less. Whenever I speak to spankos who were punished at school there’s usually a conflict in them, a tension between the trauma of going through this humiliating, violent experience which they definitely didn’t consent to, and the confusing desire of being confronted with something they’d fantasised about. Consensual, kinky play is as different from non-consensual CP as good sex is from rape; I don’t think one is predicated on the other.

I predict that CP will remain in our collective imaginations for a very long time, and we will have a wealth of historical contexts to fantasise about long after our species has evolved beyond the point of thinking it’s okay to beat children. I hope future generations will be free to enjoy consensual kink without being haunted by the shadow of real abuse.

Whats in the future for Pandora?

Well, I’m hoping to launch my own tiny, pay-per-download spanking site this summer, although progress is being delayed at the moment by various things. That’s just going to be a very simple page, and I’ll continue working behind the scenes on the full members site, which will probably launch sometime next year.

After that – well, who knows? I’d like to continue modelling for a few more years at least, as I’ve got loads of scenarios I want to act out before I stop. I expect that eventually I’ll want to focus more on writing, production and editing, but at the moment that feels a long way off. I also hope to write a book or two at some point – there’s that one about feminism and spanking porn which needs writing, for a start! – but I haven’t given the plan much serious thought.

I hope my D/s relationships will stay strong and get deeper. I’ve thrived on living alone for the past few years, but there’s talk of my moving in with one of my boys sometime soon (I’m not telling which yet!). I wouldn’t be surprised if that means spanking became a much bigger part of my day to day life. The idea of having household rules and duties, and of being spanked every day regardless, is so thrilling and comforting, somehow. I’m looking forward to it.

Sophia Locke is a lifestyle submissive who has recently burst onto the internet. She may be new but you may well have seen her at parties and she has already worked with the likes of Ron Jeremy and Clare Fonda. While she may look different in every movie, one thing you’ll notice is that Sophia loves her wigs and can always be seen wearing one. Sophia is an intoxicating mix of BDSM, spanking and sex, she says that among the craziest things she’s ever done are having sex in public on a ferris wheel and in a restaurant, and a 7 Brazilian guy gang bang. You can find out more and catch all the latest news at Sophia Locke’s official website.

Sophia was kind enough to speak to us in June 2011…

You were saying on your tumblr that you’ve had the fantasy of being captured since you were much younger. Can you describe what it is you like about being tied up?

That fantasy has been with me for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I didn’t understand why I felt so strange every time a girl was tied up in a movie. I was always disappointed when the hero saved her. What turns me on the most with these scenes is the loss of control, the fear, and the idea of being used. I wanted the bad guy to abuse the poor helpless girl. I wanted him to rip off her clothes and make her vulnerable and scared. I also love the erotic energy that comes from struggling against someone. Of course I would hope to lose!

Can you tell us about your relationship to spanking. We’ve seen the photos of your bruised bottom after the pirate outfit spanking. It sounds like you’re not a fan of the bruising but you like being spanked. Everyone likes different aspects of spanking, what is it you like?

Actually, I really enjoy getting marks. It’s a nice reminder of what I went through every time I sit down for a few days afterward. The bruising that I received during my “pirate spanking” was pretty extreme, though. The reason it may have seemed like I wasn’t happy with it was because I couldn’t work on webcam while I was that bruised. I don’t want to scare away the vanillas!

What would be a perfect spanking for Sophia Locke?

I’ve actually had my perfect spanking! It started out with me requesting a OTK spanking from my Owner. He put me over His knee on the couch and it started out nicely. I decided to be a little bratty by trying to run away. I really enjoy the takedown and capture sort of play. He chased me around the room, grabbing me by my hair and forcing me down on my knees for more spankings. Each hit was more severe! He would tell me after each time that He was finished – our game was over. He used that line to get close to me again so He could hold me down and spank me more. Each individual spanking was almost over my limit of how much pain my body could take. Being on the edge of that pain eventually brought me to such a deep subspace that I was able to truly believe that I would never get away, that it would never end. I had tears streaming down my face and onto the carpet. I had given up. I felt like He could do anything to me and I would just take it. He played with my pussy for a while, telling me that He would loan me out to friends, that I could never escape Him. I have never been so turned on in my life! Of course, in the very back of my mind I knew it was a game. I could have never gone that far mentally (and enjoyed it) with someone that I didn’t trust so deeply.

Sophia gets spanked by Snow Mercy at a convention

Does spanking turn you on?

Absolutely! Because bare handed spanking can get very intense for me physically, it helps turn me on when there are mental aspects to it as well. I like being lectured while being spanked. When I did my scenes with Snow Mercy, she did a lot of lecturing. I was pleasantly surprised with how turned on I was!

You’ve been collared by M for a couple of years after you read his personal and liked it. What was it he said in his ad that was so scary?

I could tell by His writing that He was clearly intelligent, and He didn’t beat around the bush. He wrote about how long He had been involved with the scene and what He expected from potential submissives. His profile was aggressive without being arrogant. There was a part in bold that said, “I am the One who will expose you/ I am the One who will hurt you/ I am the One who will humiliate you/ I am the One who will cherish you.” It ended with: “you will learn to fear Me/ you will learn to serve me/ you will learn to love Me/ you will yearn to hate me.” It still makes me wet every time I read it. He also had blogs written by past slaves and submissives. They were heavy with public humiliation and punishment scenes that scared the shit out of me. All of that combined was the reason I contacted Him.

Do you have a D/s 24/7 lifestyle relationship? I’ve never understood how 24/7 can work when there are times when you’re grocery shopping, for example. How does it work?

As close as we can get to 24/7, yes. To use your example, I always push the grocery cart or hold the baskets when we go to the store. I have to ask permission to get any type of food or drink. Sweets and alcohol are considered treats and are usually not allowed unless it’s a special occasion. He gives me His grocery card and credit card at checkout, so I always complete the transaction. I am not allowed on the furniture at home without His permission. I also sleep in a cage and wear a special sleeping collar to bed. What I was hoping to get out of the relationship was negotiated before I was collared, so it’s completely consensual. The control over my life is what works for me, sexually. There are certainly large aspects to our relationship that are vanilla, though. I feel comfortable being myself and speaking as I wish most of the time. The main difference in our lifestyle compared to others is that He has the final say in what I do. Of course, there are times when I don’t want to do what I’m told and I can be quite bratty. I’m outspoken and dominant in my life outside of this, so that interferes with our dynamic at times. It’s hard work and a lot of fun, like most relationships.

Sophia playing with her Owner

Do you switch?

I don’t. I’m not interested in dominating men or women. What seems silly to me is that I know how it feels to sexually enjoy pain, but I still feel bad inflicting it on fellow masochists. Weird, I know!

We’re very glad that you did, but why did you go from being kinky in private to being kinky in public on your website?

When I realized I wanted to try webcam and video work to make a living, it was a difficult decision to actually act on. A lot of my life revolves around my sexuality, so it seemed like a natural thing for me to do and something that I have no regrets doing. It’s scary knowing that your face is out there, though. The dichotomy between my vanilla work and lifestyle outside of work was eating away at me, so it was the right thing to do.

Your website seems to cover everything from sex to BDSM and everything inbetween. Which scenes do your members enjoy the most? Which are the most fun to shoot?

I’ve only shot a few videos. As far as webcam work goes, my guys (and gals!) like to personally have control over me. I give that to them in the best way I can while staying within my personal limits. It’s a really interactive way for all of us to get off!

I really liked the fun section, especially the Monday Night Fuckball. Do you actually play those games?

I do! I also play Jack Off Jenga, Battlestrip, Pussy Bingo, and a few others. They make my shows fun for me and the people watching. Monday Night Fuckball works like a football pool, but with more fun prizes than normal football pools.

Sophia Locke in a schoolgirl outfit gets spanked by Snow Mercy on Spanked Sweeties

I’ve not watched the movie yet but I gather you were spanked by Snow Mercy on Spanked Sweeties? How were the scenes?

I adore Snow! She’s such a professional and a really good person. It certainly doesn’t hurt that she’s very hot to scene with, too. The scenes were so much fun! I got very lucky, considering it was my very first spanking video shoot. Snow Mercy and I had played previously at a party, so I knew I was going to be comfortable with her. She’s very respectful of limits and really gets into it!

Is there a difference for you between being spanked by a man or a woman?

As I mentioned before, the lecturing during our scene really got me going. With women, spanking usually feels more like a fun and silly thing. It can get intense but I feel more playful about it than with men. When I am spanked by a man (especially my Owner), it feels more animalistic and raw. It’s a different headspace that I get into. I feel the same way about those differences when fucking men as opposed to women.

What spanking implements do you like and which do you not like?

I actually haven’t had an implement used on me that I haven’t at least grown to like eventually. Some of my favorites are paddles, canes, floggers, and most recently a dragon’s tail.

What does the future hold for Sophia Locke?

I would love to eventually run a production company with my Owner that specializes in videos featuring women in submissive roles that truly enjoy the mental and physical aspects of submission. Right now I’m really enjoying my webcam work and look forward to doing more videos. I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to be picky about the people I work with as well as the scenes I’m in. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me!

You may have seen Lilia Spinoza on Clare Fonda’s new spanking movie “Exclusive Education 6″ where she plays a naughty cheerleader. On her website she says “I’m a full-time college student, part time belly dancer and model… My sense of humor ranges everywhere from dorky/ditzy to morbid/macabre, so I’m not easily offended, very easily amused, go-with-the-flow, and pleasant to work with.” Despite her day job of learning Lilia has already an impressive portfolio as a model and bellydancing and is set to take the spanking world by storm. While she may be new to spanking infront of the camera, she is well used to spanking…

I hardly know anything about you at all, can you tell me a bit about you please.

I’m a NERD, I draw fangs and smiles on my lab face-masks, I’ve been belly dancing since I was 13, I love roses, I like movies that don’t have happy endings, I put hot sauce and/or lemon on almost everything I eat, I love traveling, I LOVE tattoos and will get me some (eventually), I have sound effects, I was born and raised in LA, I want to move to Mars for its 25-hour-days, I like to draw (and am somewhat good at it), I’m a night owl, I like creepy/weird stuff, I’m a good listener, I like corny jokes, I would celebrate Halloween again on Christmas (and not just because it’s my birthday), I’m a visual learner/thinker and I would prefer to communicate via telepathic finger-painting if I could, Keroppi is my favorite Hello Kitty character, and I don’t like spam.

What came first for you, being a model or being a belly dancer? How did it all start?

Bellydancing came first. It all started when I was 13: My cousin was taking a Hawaiian dance class, and was constantly boasting about her tiny waist. Being the self-conscious, insecure, adolescent girl that I was, I too wanted a tiny waist, and I promptly went to my local parks and recreation center to sign up for Hawaiian dance. The class was full, so I signed up for belly dance, which I thought would do the trick as well. I kept at it, and after a few years, I got pretty good at it. It turned into an artistic exercise outlet for me. When I was 17, my teacher encouraged me to perform in showcases. I did, and it all snowballed from there.

When I was 22, I took my first steps into BDSM. I frequented the L.A. clubs quite a bit. Inevitably, I stumbled upon rope bondage, and quickly became an avid fan. I was lucky enough to meet and play with DonSir, who invited me to do my first photo shoot. It all escalated from there: I met models and photographers, and gradually started to shooting on a semi-regular basis..

We’re obviously not an expert at this but your bellydancing is very sexy, is it the same style as has always been danced or is that a modern style?

Most of my training has been classical Egyptian style. However, I also thoroughly enjoy bellydance “fusion”, which is the combination of styles and techniques of other dance forms with bellydance.

I like your portfolio, there’s one photo of you in a woolly hat crossing your eyes. Do you have any other special talents?

Yes! I can roll my tongue into a taco, and I can raise either eyebrow individually.

In Exclusive Education 6 (on Girl Spanks Girl) you appear as a cheerleader in Clare Fonda’s epic classroom spanking movie. Had you done any spanking before that? How did the shoot go?

I had done spanking before that: I had shot with Assume The Position Studios a few times prior to that. I had also done PLENTY of “recreational” spanking in BDSM. The shoot went delightfully well. Clare Fonda is wonderful to work with, all the girls were very helpful and friendly to each other, and the atmosphere was fun and easy-going. I had a wonderful time!

What made you decide to try a spanking shoot?

I had been encouraged before by a few photographers and some models to try it (they all said I have the butt for it). Additionally, spanking is something I really enjoy doing.

Do you like getting spanked? If so, what is it you like about it?

I love getting spanked! I like pain, I like the endorphin rush I get after experiencing pain, I like being submissive (to certain people), but I think my greatest contributor to my love of spanking is that I like having my bum played with.

What would be a perfect spanking for Lilia Spinoza?

I LOVE over-the-knee, bare-handed spanking; preferably by a male authority figure. After nice warm-up, I do like to progressively increase the intensity, with little breaks

Does spanking turn you on?

It depends on who is spanking me. My butt cheeks are like two giant “ON” buttons when the right person touches them.

Do you/would you switch?

Yes, I do switch. Although I haven’t done so for a shoot… yet

What other fetishes do you have?

I’m into Kinbaku (Japanese rope bondage), D/s, and pain in general.

What spanking implements do you like and which do you not like?

Bare hands are my favorite. My least favorite are paddles.

Any plans to do any more spanking shoots?

Absolutely I’ll be shooting again with Clare later this month.

Sometimes when I’m thinking up some questions to ask for this website I don’t know much about them other than having seen them in their spanking scenes on the internet. From reading Erica Scott’s blog I feel like I almost know her already and I think she may be the only person I’ve interviewed so far with an autobiography “Late Bloomer.” As the title suggests, Erica came to spanking later in life but seems to have taken to it like a duck to water. Erica is a lovely tall, slim brunette whom you may have seen on websites such as Shadow Lane, Northern Spanking and Sarah Gregory Spanking where she plays on camera, and she also plays recreationally. I’m sure everything I have to ask will either be covered either on the blog or autobiography but hopefully it’ll be a starter pack for people who don’t know Erica Scott yet.

We were lucky enough to ask Erica some questions in November 2011..

The blurb to your book mentions the troubles you had to overcome before you got into spanking. Are you better now?

I am much better, thank you. The eating disorders have been well under control for several years now. As for depression, that will always be with me to some degree, but as I said in my book, my worst days now are still better than my best days back then. Fully accepting my kink and immersing myself in the spanking scene worked wonders for my self-confidence and esteem.

Did you always fantasize about spanking, or what was the spark that put it into your mind?

No spark that I can recall; it’s always been with me, even when I was a small child and had no idea what I was feeling. You can add me to the endless list of people who, as children, looked up “spank” and all its synonyms in the dictionary, felt belly-flops when they saw a spanking scene on TV or in a movie, etc. I was kind of a strange child to begin with, so I thought this was just more of my weirdness.

I’ve just been reading some of your blog, you talk a lot about John and ST. Who are they please?

John is my boyfriend; we have been a couple since 1996, but we don’t live together. I met him when I placed a spanking personal ad in a local free paper (this was before I got on the Internet). This was shortly after I first “came out” as a spanko, so my relationship with him grew alongside my growth in the scene.

ST is my friend and play partner. He goes by the name “SpankoTango” on FetLife, which explains the initials. For a long time, I called him “New Guy,” but after a year, that seemed a little ridiculous. He comes over to my place every Monday and we have a spanking session, which I then blog about. Readers have come to enjoy that regular feature and I enjoy writing about our adventures.

In a recent post you were talking about getting spanked by ST and you were saying how you were trying to be quiet because you have a new neighbour. How loud are you normally during a spanking? Does muffling your cries change the experience of a spanking?

I am normally quite loud, as my fellow party-goers will attest to! When being spanked at a party or a shoot, I will holler, sass, swear, make a lot of noise before I settle into the scene and quiet down a little. But in my apartment, I have to be careful. I figure my neighbors can hear the smacking sounds, but if they don’t hear any accompanying screams or protests, they can’t quite determine what’s going on. I must be doing something right, because I’ve been playing in this apartment for over 15 years and have never had a complaint.

Muffling my cries has a bit of an effect on the experience, because part of my mind always has to be aware of my sounds and reactions and I can’t fully lose myself in the scene. But I’ve been doing it for so long, it’s fairly automatic. That said, it’s really a treat when I get a chance to let go and be noisy!

Do you find that being spanked helps you deal with ordinary life better? If you go without being spanked for a period of time what happens?

It isn’t pretty, let me tell you. I am a very moody and mercurial person, and regular spanking helps me release stress and manage my wayward emotions. If I go without spanking for a while, not only do I miss the sensation, the special attention, etc., but I can feel angry, weepy, restless, depressed, prickly… sometimes all of those. Like I said, it isn’t pretty. That’s when my blog gets particularly snarky.

For me, spanking has the same effect as vigorous exercise; it releases endorphins along with the stress, and I feel much calmer and happier afterward. Unfortunately, the effects are short-lived and I always need more!

What is the “Spanking Court”?

Spanking Court is the brainchild of Alpine Sierra Studios, run by Cali and Heinz. They’ve been shooting for over a year and their premise is simple: People with a dispute, a claim, an issue that needs resolving, come to the Court and present their case to the judge. Topics addressed have included speeders, rude neighbors, perpetrators of malicious pranks, exam cheaters, and errant wives. The judge passes sentence (a number of strokes from 100-300 with the implement of his choosing), and the defendant is remanded to the bailiff (Dana Kane) and the court disciplinarian (The Villain) for the punishment. The sentencing room is formidable, with spanking benches and two walls filled with implements. The spankee has to count the strokes out loud.

I was lucky enough to shoot with them this year, a story arc with six scenes. My last scene was shot on November 5. Spanking Court has been headquartered in Hollywood, CA, but they will be relocating. I will miss them, but hope to be flown to their new location sometime next year for more. You couldn’t ask for a nicer, more fun group of people!

Can you tell me what is it you like about getting spanked?

In a word: everything. But I guess that’s a boring answer.

Physically, I love the sensation of the impact, the pain that blends seamlessly into pleasure. The feeling of his hands, his thighs under my belly, the sound of his voice. Physiologically, I love the endorphin surge and all those delicious feelings that ensue. Emotionally, so many things… the power exchange. The pretense of not wanting it when we both know I do. The game of it: the tease, the anticipation, the banter, the push and the pull, the struggle—all the while knowing that he will win (and because of that, of course, so will I).

It’s sexy, it’s naughty, it’s (somewhat) forbidden and it’s fun.

What makes a good spanker for you?

Powerful hands, dexterity with implements, a calm voice and demeanor, a strong presence that commands to be taken seriously. A man who knows the difference between assertion and aggression, confidence and arrogance, and who can read me and know when it’s time to push and when to back off a bit. Someone strict and firm but caring, who knows how to caress as well as chastise. He respects limits, but knows when he can challenge them a little.

But what takes him from good to excellent is a mutual attraction, an emotional connection, and trust.

Do you/would you switch?

I do not; it’s not in me. I have a toppy personality, but I don’t have the capacity to inflict pain, no matter how much the other person wants it. I tried many years ago with John (he is a switch). I got dressed up in black lingerie and heels, and he had me flicking him with a riding crop. What a joke that was; every time he flinched, I’d stop and blurt, “Oh, honey, are you OK?” Some top!

I topped once on video, very briefly, and I still can’t watch that scene. I will never do that again.

Some people say that going from bottom to switch is a natural (and somewhat inevitable) progression in the scene. Not for this girl.

What spanking implements do you like and which do you not like?

I’m more partial to leather than to wood. It’s hard to say which implements are my favorites, since there are so many sizes, shapes and materials and no two are quite alike. I do love a man’s belt; not just the feel of it, but the snapping sound, the ritual of his unbuckling it, yanking it from the loops and doubling it. Hairbrushes hurt like crazy, but they work well with OTK and their classic look in a spanking scene is undeniable. I like some thinner, lighter wooden paddles that pack a sting, but one of my hard limits is the thick, heavy “frat-style” paddles.

Generally, if it stings and snaps, I like it, but if it strikes with a dull thud and feels like I’m getting hit with a 2 x 4, I’ll pass on it.

What does the future hold for Erica Scott?

I have no video plans at this point. Every time I do a shoot, I think it may be my last, because I’m a lot older than most video bottoms and my “career” has been a bit of an anomaly. But then someone or another always comes along and yanks me out of retirement, so who knows? I absolutely adore shooting, so I hope that will continue.

I’m toying with the idea of collecting all my “Correspondence Hall of Shame” entries from over the years and creating a book out of them. And of course, lots more blogging and lots more spanking!

You can see and read much more about Erica Scott’s spankings at her blog: Erica Scott: Life, Love & Spanking and you can find a copy of Erica’s book here!

Sub Carrie is a professional submissive (and switch) working in the Victoria area of London, England. As you can see from the above photo, Carrie is a tiny and petite lady with big, natural breasts, a round bottom and nice figure. Her website SubCarrie.com has plenty of photos, articles and stories, plus all the info you’ll need to have a session with Carrie if you’re in the London area.

Sub Carrie was kind enough to answer our questions in April 2012…

Can you tell us about your relationship to spanking. When did your interest in it start? Was there a specific trigger or just a gradual enlightenment?

I started my discovery in spanking around 10 years ago. I had worked in a fantasy/massage apartment in London and was very interested in spanking as a few clients had spanked me. In those days the internet was not a good source of information. I done my homework and noticed that a lot of Mistress’s worked in the Baker Street area. I enquired and lucklily for me a Mistress was looking for an English girl to train in the art of submission. I trained with her for 5 years gradually building up from hand spankings to severe canings. It triggered a great deal of satsifaction knowing that I could take harder implements.

I’ve just been reading some of the stories and articles on your blog. Do you write all the stories and articles yourself?

All the stories on my blog are actuall day to day stories that I act out in the services that I provide. I decdided to write the blog as I am always being asked by new and old clients what can they do in a service with me. The blog entries are true life scenarios that I act out. I blog 3 times a week and I pick the favourites on that day. Now that it has been going for over a year I do have special requests from clients for example can they be in my blog! This is very exciting for them and me. As you can see from my blog each entry has a photo of me or a client (if they give permission) of what I am wearing just to give the reader a idea of what I can wear as each client wants soemthing different. I write everything myself and try to be as honest about the way I feel when I am getting punished it is so much fun playing the role and then writing it down. I enjoy sharing my experiences with all that read it! It has become very popluar and I have lots of more stories to come!

What do you like about being spanked?

I love being spanked and my limits pushed. I love the control of a man bending me over his knee and spanking me. I have often had compeitions with some of the men that really want to spank me very hard. Usually I say something cheeky like “I bet your hand hurts more before my bottom will.” I usually win! This is just my naughty side coming out! The role-play adds excitment to the proceedings as well as the red bottom that appears on my back side it is very erotic.

It sounds like you enjoy the roleplaying aspect of spanking. What kind of scenarios are most popular?

The most popular is of course school girl. I think it is very popluar as a lot of men associate their first sexual enouncter with a girl from school and she was usually in a school uniform. It does not mean that all then men I see are pervets because this is not true. They always say Carrie I want you to be a adult school girl. Which I accept but any age play I am not comfortable with so do not allow that. Other popular ones are of course secretary and I acutally used to be a secretary so it is quite easy for me to slip into this role! French maid is popular as well as police woman I think a lot of men find the uniforms a great turn on. I always like dressing up in anything that my client wants it just adds a little bit extra to the fun!

What would be a perfect spanking for you?

A perfect spanking for me would have to be over the knee with my knickers down or off! It would have to be hard as well as I do love to have a hot bottom afterwards.

Does being spanked turn you on?

Yes spanking turns me on. I just love to feel the instant hot feeling that comes with a spanking and the carassing of my bottom in between and if the hand slips into in between my legs even better.

How did you get to be a professional sub?

I was trained for 5 years by a very experienced Mistress. I was trained in the art of submission by her and was her slave. When she retired I then set up on my own and by then was professional.

What is your apartment like in Victoria? Do you live there too?

My apartment in Victoria is a very short walk from the station and is fully equipped. I have a Fantasy Room with school desk, gym bench, spanking/caning bench, blackboard, ropes, bondage equipment, implements etc. I did not want a dungeon as a lot of men feel a bit threatened by a dungeon. I also have a mirrored bedroom for some more fun. The apartment is discreet clean and most of all has everything a man could wish for. I do not live here it is just my work place.

For someone who hasn’t already experienced a session with you can you describe what you are like as a sub/bottom?

If you have not seen me before I always ask for clients to get details of fees etc from my secretary. Once you have made a appointment she will suggest that you email me direct so that I can be prepared to what you like/dislike for example do you want me to be noisy when you are spanking me or quiet. I can take high levels of pain in fact I have taken before 100 strokes of the senior cane followed by 40 strokes of the wooden paddle. I do advertise “If you can give it, I can take it.” This is not a lie but the truth by bottom can take severe punishments and I heal up very quickly. I can be bratty, good girl actually what ever you want I can do as long as I know what you want.

Can you tell us a spanking fantasy that you might have at the moment.

I have lots of fantasies that I think about but I have done most of them. My favourite is being a slave girl and trying very hard to please my Master. I usually have to work on my concentration levels otherwise I do get punished for being useless. I love to learn different positions for my Master and pleasing him.

What implements do you like and which do you not like? What’s your most dreaded implement?

My favourite implement changes all the time. If I have had lots of the cane in a month I sometimes like the feel of leather on my bottom. So a good tawsing feels lovely on my bottom. I do not hate any implment but I can tell you now that I have been bought some leather straps recently from a regular who had it specially made for me. They are around 3 inches thick and at the end of them they have metal in them. I received 10 of them on my bottom and I can tell you something it was the hardest thing ever to hit my bottom. I dread that next time. For me the hardest is the American Wooden Paddle. Again I have just had one made for me it looks like a mini cricket bat. After 40 of those on the bare bottom it stings like mad. This bruises my bottom so I usually get this on a Thursday to give my bottom time to heal over the weekend. I must be brave as I have tried giving this in a switch session and after around 2 the men say please no more! This is not for the faint hearted!

When did you become a switch? Do you enjoy being on top?

I have always switched when asked to do so. When you receive a spankings and canings, sometimes you will get a newbie and you will have to show them how to spank, cane etc. I am very accurate and always respect peoples limits. I do enjoy switching as it gives my bottom a rest sometimes lol!

Would you say that in general you spank clients harder, or clients spank you harder?

This one is tricky depending on who is spanking you. Some men spank really hard, then you get some men who just want to spank me but not hurt me, more of a fantasy. Generally I spank hard but again depends on what the other person wants and a lot of men cannot be marked.

I think I have a trapped nerve in my back, it sounds like you might be the person to speak to?

If you have a trapped nerve in your back I would recommend a good massage from me.

What does the future hold for Sub Carrie?

I have had lots of interest from different sources regarding my blog. It has become very popluar and I enjoy my work so much. I am not retiring yet as I am having to much fun the future looks bright for Subcarrie. Thank you for this interview and I hope everyone has a spanking good time!

Jenni Mack is probably best-known for being a cute, redheaded spankee, but you’ll find Jenni on both sides of a spanking. Jenni is not only all over the internet in spanking scenes as a top and bottom, but she can also be found at parties with her Ma’am where they both take sessions. The Arizona-based switch has appeared in scenes with some of the biggest names in spanking since bursting onto our screens. She can not only take a very hard spanking but she can dish out hard punishments too with equal ease.

Jenni was kind enough to answer our questions in May 2012…

Your blog’s title is “My Dirty Little Secret“. Why is it called that?

At the time my blog was born, I was in a very transitional period in my life. I had decided that I wanted to pursue my spanking interest beyond just having fantasies about it. I had repressed the desire for a number of years, thinking I was wrong, dirty, and quite the pervert. Through some tough experiences, I was forced to take a good long look at what I wanted and needed to be happy. Spanking and being ‘out’ sexually was the answer for me at that time. What started out as ‘My Dirty Little Secret’ evolved into a journey of personal growth and self acceptance I am quite proud to walk with all of the kinky folks I have met.

What do you like about being spanked?

I am a greedy girl when it comes to spanking and happily say that all of the above would suffice to explain the very least about what I enjoy in spanking. The best part for me is the connection and energy with the person I am playing with (on the Top or bottom side) It’s all about chemistry.

Does being spanked turn you on?

Oh my God, YES! Spanking is my sex and has been for a very long time. Vanilla sex doesn’t do anything for me and has never been a turn on. I am one of the lucky ones who can orgasm just from a spanking. Nothing turns my crank more.

How did you progress from being a spank-o to going to parties, doing sessions and appearing in spanking movies?

My development in the spanking community actually happened in reverse order. I appeared in my first spanking movie for Shadowlane called Mischief Makers 3. That was my first public spanking and was very adventurous for me to do. I remember thinking, “Oh God, thousands of people are going to see my butt!” That was a huge stepping stone and really hard for me to wrap my head around at the time. I was always known as the shy girl with her nose in a book and to see my face (and bare bottom) on the internet for everyone to see was such a huge high. From there, I began doing sessions with my Dominant, Miss Chris, and later that same summer went to my first Spanking Party at Shadowlane. My life has been a stream of parties, events, teaching classes, doing videos, and living my kink everyday 24/7. I am very grateful everyday to be able to live my dream.

For someone who hasn’t met you at a party or seen one of your movies can you describe what you are like as a sub/bottom?

I have a wide range of personas I assume as a bottom. It very much depends on the Top I am playing with, my mood and the role-play (if any) as to what bottom head space I assume. I enjoy the occasional bratty scene and when the Top can ‘put me in line’. I am also very much into pleasing the person I am playing with, so I can be quite compliant and contrite when OTK. I have a very high pain tolerance and I’m especially passionate about canes, leather, and whips. When my Dominant and I play, She can take me on a journey to a level so deep inside myself that the room disappears and pain blossoms into waves of pleasure that I transition into an euphoric state. It’s really a beautiful experience.

What implements do you like and which do you not like? What’s your most dreaded implement?

I am highly allergic too wood! I break out in horrible red splotches J teasing. While I am not a huge fan of wood, I can be worked up to taking a decent paddling or hair brushing. My most dreaded implement, one I live in fear of, is the tawse. I hate, hate, HATE having that ‘thing’ used on my hands. As a spanko, I like any and all play on my bottom. When I am in need of discipline, though, Ma’am will tawse my palms as punishment. Needless to say I am an Angel….most of the time.

Do you switch? Do you like being on top?

Yes! I am very much a bottom with switch like tendencies. I enjoy topping and taking people on a journey. I derive my pleasure in seeing their needs met. I am also a bit sadistic in that I enjoy giving a hard caning or strapping to a bottom that can handle what I can dish out. Again, it’s about the connection and I like to think I am helping someone by giving them the experience that they need.

If spanking hadn’t been invented have you thought about what you might be doing instead?

Probably pondering some other way to get myself off. *laughs*

Really, I would be a mess. Spanking and kink are both fundamental parts of who and what I am. I found my Family of Choice, my loves, and myself through the Lifestyle. I don’t think I would have been very happy, authentic, or even who I am supposed to be without it.

I like your new tattoo, is there a story behind it?

It has been a decade in the making . I spent 17 hours under the needle of a wonderful local Artist who has tattooed all over the world for the last 30 years, Sting (www.stings-tattoo-studio.com). I had the Kushiel’s Dart rose (my birth flower), an antique key (my personal symbol), and Ivy (Ma’am’s personal symbol) tattooed on my back. I affectionately refer to it my Marque, which in the BDSM Lifestyle is the equivalent to a collar or promise of submission, service, love, and divine trust.

Ma’am and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary at Darkcon back in January. Along with teaching classes, we did a performance art piece in front of a mostly vanilla audience from the book Kushiel’s Dart in front of the book’s author–Jacqueline Carey. For anyone who is familiar with that series–Ma’am and I did the scene from The Longest Night between the characters Melisade and Phedre.

What does the future hold for Jenni Mack?

Right now, you can expect to see more of my Top side in future videos and more of my bottom side in homegrown videos with my own Dominant. I am planning on attending TASSP, CRIMSON MOON, and SHADOWLANE this summer. My Ma’am and I will be taking sessions at each event, so I hope to meet some new folks in need of a good bottom warming!

As for my vanilla life—I will be enjoying some much needed time off. Ma’am and I have a vacation to Thailand coming up. Time in the garden and with my two puppies is in order, along with poolside-wet-bare-bottom-spankings my Ma’am oh so loves to give!

You can see and read much more about Jenni Mack at her blog, My Dirty Little Secret.

While readers of this website may only be aware of Snow Mercy from her internet spanking scenes, Snow Mercy’s blog tells us that she’s also “a professional dominant, fetish model, multimedia artist, radio personality, film & television actress, photographer, videographer, video editor, film director, scholar, humanitarian, and world traveler.” With naturally dark hair and porcelain skin it seems like Snow was born for the world of kink. Not only is she beautiful, tall and shapely but she is also very intelligent with a great sense of humour. Snow works as a dominant at The Dominion and has many interests outside of spanking, as we discovered. Snow Mercy was kind enough to answer our questions in June 2012…

I’ve read that you had an interest in BDSM from a young age. What came first for you, the spanking or the BDSM?

I was primarily into spanking and simple rope bondage as early as 4 or 5 years old.

Did you start off with one fetish and broaden out or did you try everything from the start?

I started with spanking and rope bondage, mixed with role play. Later I met someone who was skilled in many areas of BDSM, some of which I had no idea that existed, like mummification. That’s the time when I really dove into bdsm. He and I started going to local Hollywood BDSM clubs where I picked up more skills.

What was your first BDSM experience? Top or bottom?

Bottom for many, many years. It never occurred to me to be a top until I started working at The Dominion, L.A.’s longest running dungeon.

Is there any conflict between getting spanked and being a dominant?

Well, in the strict sense of BDSM, yes there is conflict. A domme is not someone who gets spanked. It’s a submissive role to be spanked.

You are tall, shapely, beautiful and sophisticated. These matters always depend on the level of tolerance of the other person, but do you also bring the pain?

Thank you! You are very kind. I’m a sensual sadist. I am known to dish out pain when it is carefully negotiated in a safe, sane way. I’m very strong and can deliver quite a lot of impact.

There will be dominants who have different styles but generally, what makes a good domme?

This question, “What makes a good domme?” is often discussed and I hear a lot of opinions. I’ll attempt to give my take on this subject.

A “good domme” can be any gender, size, shape, age, and can come from any background. Anyone is eligible. It seems the single, unifying qualities I see in good dommes are confidence, self-control, responsibility, humility, and compassion.

Confidence is probably the most important quality I try to teach to people I mentor who wish to be dommes. It’s easier to be confident if the person understands how to use implements with skill, knows the limits of the environment/sub/self, and is open to the experience.

Self-control—some dommes lack it and this can lead to boundaries getting crossed, injuries, and feelings being hurt.

Responsibility for the safety of others, the relationships involved or evolving, play space, finances, environment, schedules, etc., make a domme into a good domme. There is always a time and place for everything. If a domme makes His/Her sub miss work because a scene was too demanding or has visible marks, or if a domme leaves behind a play space a mess isn’t being responsible.

Being able to admit to mistakes, being able to make compromises like, “No, you don’t have to call me Master in front of your grandma,” being able accept constructive criticism, and not boasting are very desirable traits in a good domme.

Compassion. If a domme lacks compassion…run away!

I often hear, “The best domes were the best subs,” but this isn’t entirely true. Some dommes I know and respect never played as a sub.

I could probably write a whole book on this subject, but I’ll end here.

Is spanking just a form of BDSM or do spanking people want different things to normal BDSMers?

I often find spankers/spankees will separate themselves from BDSM. It might be because BDSM involves so many forms of play that if a pure spanker includes this label, then it’s assumed the person is interested in more than spanking. However, I believe spanking is a form of BDSM. Specifically, it’s a form of impact play.

I’ve read that you met a dominatrix at a fetish club and decided to apply to The Dominion after plucking up courage. How did you get into being in front of the camera in spanking movies?

This is true. Before I ever considered doing spanking movies, I spent a lot of time doing fetish modeling. I also did a lot of acting here in Los Angeles. So the cross-over was natural after Dallas of dallasspankshard.com asked me to star in a movie. I had gotten to know and trust Dallas, so I felt comfortable working with him on a movie. It seemed like a good way to branch out and reach an audience that shares my enthusiasm for spanking and make new friends. It worked!

How would you describe your relationship with spanking?

Happy and healthy!

What do you like about being spanked?

What I like depends on the person, situation, the relationship, my mood, etc. All of it interests me. Sometimes I want to send somehow back home with lasting memories, so I deliver an especially hard spanking. Sometimes I need a good release that only strict discipline mixed with pain can offer. It varies.

Does being spanked turn you on?

Yes, but shhh…don’t tell anyone.

What would happen if your dominant self met your submissive/bottom self?

Oh, boy, that would be an epic moment. I’d make sure to have plenty of film to capture what unfolds. I can see it being rather intense…maybe some wrestling would be involved to overpower the submissive one…we can only dream.

Can you tell us a spanking fantasy that you might have at the moment.

Don’t you think Katy Perry deserves a good spanking on stage while wearing one of her silly outfits?

What implements do you like and which do you not like to use and receive?

My hands are my favorite spanking tool, followed by the strap, both as top and bottom. I don’t like using what we at The Dominion call the “lollipop” because it breaks skin so easily. We have a paddle used for ping pong that is very large thin plastic that I adore for both top and bottom play.

Anything spanking-related you won’t do?

I don’t like breaking skin.

What’s your most dreaded implement?

I HATE Dallas’ “pimp stick.” It’s evil.

I’ve heard you’ll be interviewing and spanking a new lady on Spanked Sweeties!! I like hearing what people have to say about spanking (obviously, lol) but I’m also looking forward to seeing more of you topping because a girl-girl scene with one beautiful lady topping another is just very sexy. Do you watch your scenes back? Do you like porn?

I’m happy to hear you are excited about my new interview on Spanked Sweeties. I don’t want to give anything away, but I interviewed Porcelain and I think you’ll be happy with it. It’s my first interview on the SS site as the one doing the interview. Be sure to watch it!

To tell you the truth, I don’t usually watch my own work, fetish and non-fetish. I am my own worst critic so I tend to not watch my own videos. I was there at the shoot so I know what happened, right? It’s nice to see how I look so that I can learn from it and make improvements, but I also don’t always have access to my work—many sites require passwords. There are a lot of videos I star in that I’ve never seen. I also don’t watch TV nor do I watch movies in general. I guess I’m a bit odd in this way.

Porn is great and I’ll watch it sometimes. However, I’m rather lucky and find myself in real-life situations that are on a porn-level. So I don’t find myself watching much porn lately. Tough life I have, right? I’ll sometimes watch rather exotic porn that I am too embarrassed to mention to spice things up. Some of my friends are porn stars so we’ll watch it more for a laugh to tease them…oh, it’s a fun life I have.

Your “About Me” on your blog there is a list of some of your interests. For those that don’t know, it’s a long list including radio, TV and charity work… and there’s also music! I love your new single “Dig Dig Dig (Gold Mine)”. You’re on your third album now, which is very impressive. Can you tell me about how you got into making music.

I’m was raised playing classical piano as a child and I am a flamenco dancer, which requires me to use my shoes and hands as percussion instruments. I’ve always been around musicians and have been in relationships with many professional musicians. It seems I’ve gravitated towards people in the music industry, but I never really considered myself a musician until recently. Last year I met legendary record producer Kim Fowley, who has worked and influenced some of the biggest names in music like KISS, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett (he discovered her), and so many others. (Google him for the long list of people he’s worked with.) He has dozens of gold and platinum records, and it’s his livelihood to record artists. So, in a way, I had no choice but to record with Kim. It’s what he does, and of course he’s going to produce albums using me as an artist.

I was just thinking whether being creative with fetish is the same as being creative with music. Does the music scratch a different itch?

Both take creativity and require me to be very emotive. People can relate to music in general, but not everyone relates to fetish. The majority of my music discusses fetish, like my songs “Dominatrix Doll Deluxe” and “Pleasure and Pain.” Both can be found on my first album called “Goddess of Love.” I sing what I know about and I try to make it fun, but it’s not the same as doing a scene.

I’ve just learnt that you have a PhD in Physics. Being a doctor of physics is just about the opposite of what you do now. Did you like the science?

I have a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology. It’s a single degree that encompasses several fields. Yes, it’s very different from being a pro domme. I like science and appreciate it, but right now I’m taking a break from it as a career. I definitely use the skills I acquired in school in my day-to-day life such as critical thinking skills. I’ll return to making a living in science when being an entertainer is no longer lucrative.

I’d noticed that one of your tattoos looks like some kind of atom or molecule. What is it please?

You are right, I actually have both tattoos. They’re my little secret, but anyone who does their research can decipher them.

On your fetlife… Do you have nice feet?

I have been told by many people that my feet are rather nice. I’ve even won the “Most Beautiful Feet” category at Foot Night International, which is an organization that hosts parties for foot fetishists. I spend a lot of time and care on my feet to keep them looking their best.

And, Latex, what’s good about it?

I feel like a giant doll when I wear latex because it’s so shiny, slick, and smooth. It’s like a second skin and shows off curves.

What does the future hold for Snow Mercy?

My life has been so unexpected that I honestly cannot predict where I will be in the future, but I can give a vague answer. I hope to continue bringing happiness and joy through my work, whatever that may be. I hope my future includes more artist projects, more traveling, humanitarian work, and lots of love. Of course, the future holds lots of spanking, but that goes without saying. =)

Miss Cassie is a sexy blonde Professional Domme who specializes in rope bondage. We were introduced to her via her appearances on the Clare Fonda websites, but Miss Cassie does plenty more, as you’ll read. We think Miss Cassie’s fans will recognise her personality from this interview in which she gives us some full and frank answers as well as educating us. These questions are meant as a follow up to Miss Cassie’s bio. Miss Cassie was kind enough to answer our questions in June 2016…

Did you have an interest in BDSM before you became a fetish model and started performing as a rope bottom? What first attracted you to the idea of BDSM?

It’s hard to explain what caused my initial intrigue because I really don’t know, I can only guess. I grew up watching westerns and recently while watching reruns of Daniel Boone realized just how much rope bondage and other things that could be BDSM related appear in the old western shows of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s. My favorite cartoon as a child was Dudley Do Right, which involves a lot of classic Damsel in Distress (DiD) scenarios. Some of the things I saw I tried on my siblings and friends when we played. Then of course there was my fascination with Harry Houdini the escape artist. When I was around 8 or 9 years old I stumbled across my uncle’s Wicked Wanda comics, that’s when I realized that sex happened outside the traditional Husband/Daddy/Wife/Mommy ideal my very sheltered world wanted me to believe and it was really naughty. I had my first BDSM spanking scene when I was about 27 years old. I was walking with my lunch date back to his car, he was an older gentleman and was quite respectful, certainly seemed benign. When we got into the car he told me just how much he enjoyed our lunch and was wondering if I would be open to indulging him in a role play game he really liked. It peaked my curiosity and since he didn’t want sex I said sure why not. He asked if he could give me a bare handed spanking on my bare butt laying across his lap while he called me dirty names. I liked it.

I imagine being a rope bottom is a bit like riding a rollercoaster. Were you nervous at first? How was your first time?

I wasn’t nervous as a rope bottom, I had a boyfriend who after the initial circus fuck stage of our relationship was over asked if I was open to trying something kinky. That was my first introduction to a safe word, sensory deprivation, bondage, spreader bars and blind folds. I was in my early thirties and it gave me a thirst for bondage I didn’t know had.

You teach various aspects of BDSM, I imagine it’s very different from teaching in a school/college. Rope bondage can be very pretty, and obviously restraining, but it also seems very technical, especially with something like suspension. With the right teacher can anyone pick it up? How long have you been involved with rope?

Rope Bondage is a skill like a sport or art form. You can learn many aspects of it, not every one feels the need to suspend, most just want to learn some things to enhance the intimate relation between them and their mate/s. I share an opinion with many of my fellow riggers that one should practice as many ties as possible on the ground before ever considering taking their rope bottom off the ground, for most people that’s about a year of practicing, taking classes and studying. We all know that a good teacher can be really helpful but it’s all going to come down to how much a person wants to put into learning this skill. It does require some spacial reasoning, physical coordination, memorization and discipline, so it is possible that this may be difficult to learn for some people. I’ve always played with rope a bit, circa 1992/93 when my boyfriend tied me to that bed I developed a passion for rope bondage and became very interested in learning more about BDSM. I been seriously involved in rope for almost 25 years.

What would be the one piece of advice you would give to anyone thinking about getting into rope bondage?

If someone is interested in learning about rope bondage, please get some education about rope bondage safety, some instructions for some basic ties (like a book, video, tutorial, classes for example) and learn a bit about basic anatomy so you don’t cut anyone’s circulation off, put to much pressure on a nerve area, bend a joint the wrong way or past your bottom’s ability to bend. Make sure you have some safety scissors and have cell phone signal when you play, just in case something happens beyond your control and ability to handle.

In your experience do people who are kinky go from one kink to another, or do they tend to find out what they like and stick with that?

Some people just know their kink right away and that’s their bliss. Many other’s are curious or under educated and need to learn or transition to what really speaks to their inner kinkster. Like anything in life, people grow, grow up, discover new things or re discover old passions. Sometimes they just move on because it was a phase or fad to them, not what they were seeking or it wasn’t what they thought it would be.

I imagine a lot of what you do now is teaching/instructing/doing the tying, are you still on the receiving end?

I’m rarely ever on the receiving end. Sometimes I’m asked to bottom for different projects, the last film I rigged for I was both the rope top and the bottom, I rigged one of their actors, then tied and suspended myself dressed in typical DiD wear, then a quick costume change and I was a Femme Domme Fatale who tied a helpless man to a rack torturing him in all sorts of delightful ways. So occasionally in a professional capacity I will switch. On the lifestyle side of things I’m a Domme, I pretty much had the masochist beat out me years ago, so I no longer feel that need to submit.

Do you prefer top or bottom?

I prefer to Domme/Dominate/Top.

How does an online session work?

For on line web cam sessions and/or lessons, we chat briefly via email or phone about what they are looking for, rules and negotiate the fee which depends on what they are requesting. Then we schedule a session and take care of the agreed upon session fee.

Are you still learning in terms of kinkiness? Is there anything that you want to try out that you haven’t already tried?

Kink Education, yes I’m always learning new things. BDSM is an old tradition and I’ve been very fortunate to meet old guard, new guard, leather traditionalists, old school mistresses, new sensations and there are always new toys. I do have some things I desire to learn, things that are no longer in vogue on a different level, but for now that is my yummy delirious secret for me to savour as I see fit.

This website is primarily focused with spanking. It seems like during a spanking it would only take a handkerchief or neck tie to ties someone’s wrists or cover their eyes. Once you do that you’re almost at BDSM. Is it a similar buzz to be restrained on-the-fly during a spanking and getting restrained in BDSM, or is it a completely different feeling?

Some people like to mix spanking with restraints and some don’t. Just like some are only into bare handed OTK and others love paddles, brushes, switches, belts and other implements. The feeling is as individual as the people that are playing. I’ve played with total spankos with absolutely no need of restraints and played with those that if I didn’t restraint their limbs I was at risk of injury because of their flailing. BDSM is in the eye of the beholder, I know lots of people that do kinky things in their bedroom and have no clue that it may be BDSM stuff. From a practical stand point other than securing limbs because you have a kicker, there doesn’t seem to be many who combine the two things together.

Any spanking experiences growing up?

I did get spanked as a child until I was around 10 years old for discipline reasons, nothing particularly exciting most people spanked their kids then as well as the nuns at my grade school when necessary. Most spankings were bare handed, the last couple of years there was a progression of wooden paddles. We were allowed to keep our pants on, the worst part was never the spanking. It was the freaking mind games and yelling that went with it to teach you a lesson.

Did you start off with adult spanking as a top or bottom? How was the first time?

As an adult I started from the bottom, see question one for my first experience.

We’ve seen you in some spanking scenes on the internet. For you what would make the perfect spankee? Or, who would you like to spank? Or, who most needs a spanking?

I prefer to spank but I like to play too and I love an ample booty. One that has plenty of well distributed padding so I can spank from mid thigh to the meaty gluts, a beautiful female booty that has just the right amount of bounce so you can make it twerk and dance. I’m more into who wants a spanking then who needs a spanking.

I think it’s possible to be a spankee without doing any acting, technically all you’d have to do is lie over the knee. But, I think being a top requires some acting skills with the scolding and such. Are you naturally strict?

I can be very strict and stern. I like discipline, manners, protocol and order. I’m also capable of complete kaos and spontaneity. Depends on my mood and the other players involved in the scene as to what direction our whimsy may go.

What makes a good spanking scene?

Energy, commitment and passion make for a good spanking scene. If someone is just going through the motions your can tell, makes me wants to do something to get a reaction out of them, like poke them with a hat pin, lol just kidding. I’ve been very lucky that the women I’ve played with really enjoy what they do. I’ve worked with some fabulous directors and cameramen that really know how to make the spanking experience fun, full of life.

Anything spanking related you’d refuse to do?

I no longer switch or bottom for clients professionally because many years ago a man came in who wanted the typical school girl discipline scene. He promised he would warm me up properly before using paddles. He had some very, very hard wood paddles with no give. I had been spanked for so long I could really feel how hard he was hitting me. I was so bruised I couldn’t sit down for almost 2 months, after him and a few other untrained sadists I made the decision to only Domme professionally after that and the only people who touch my booty are other professionals who understand if you don’t damage the talent.

Do you like it when people top from the bottom?

I won’t play with anyone who tops from the bottom, I will either call the scene or gag them.

What does “call the scene” mean?

Call the scene means stop or end the scene.

You have a show on Talking Sex Radio called “Naughty or Nice”, sounds like a lot of fun, we’ve just listened to the show with Jack Steel. Can you tell us about your show please?

My show “Naughty or Nice with Miss Cassie” was on the TSR Network from Feb 2014 through June 2015, the TSR Network is currently on hiatus and I’m not sure when we will return to the air. It was a live web tv talk show with a chat room for our audience to talk, comment and ask questions. I interviewed so many people in the Kink community and Kink friendly communities. It was a total blast and my guests were fabulous! I had Mistresses, Dungeon owners, BDSM Educators, BDSM Celebrities, Musicians, Photographers, Fetish Models, Toy Makers, Activists, Tattoo Artists, Body Piercers, Event Promoters and others. We learned, we laughed, we shared, we had so much fun!!!!

Have I missed anything out? What does the future hold for Miss Cassie?

I’m currently a Professional Dominatrix and I’m on staff at Sanctuary Studios LAX. I also teach rope bondage classes there twice a month and I teach every week on Wednesdays in North Hollywood at The Lair de Sade. I love teaching, please go to Miss Cassie Loves Rope if you’d like to find out more information about my skills, sessions, lessons, classes and how to contact me for sessions, lessons, classes, performances, events, modeling/acting or rigging. For the future I have many projects I’m working on and expect to launch soon, so stayed tuned this is going to be a fun ride!

This is our first interview for a while but Miss Cassie’s awesome answers have inspired us to attempt to do some more quite soon. Thanks Miss Cassie, and we hope everyone enjoyed the interview.
