January is almost over, and February is about to begin. I don't know whether you have any material to post for "Romantic Spanking Month" this year, but I have a couple of things planned.
I was wondering, do we have a definition of what exactly constitutes a "romantic" spanking? For me, I think an important determining factor is the nature of the participants. The categories would be (A) a potential couple, (B) a dating couple, or (C) a married couple.
In most "Romantic Spanking" stories, there is some kind of conflict that threatens to end a loving relationship (maybe even before it has a chance to begin). The conflict is resolved and the couple fall in love or stay in love as the direct result of a spanking. A great example of that kind of story is
McLintock!. Both of the spankings in that movie led to a positive outcome in the course of true love.
There's another type of "romantic" spanking that has been at the center of most of my "romantic" stories. In this kind of setting, there's no real danger to the couple's relationship. They may
pretend to squabble... maybe over something "
naughty" that the woman has done, or is accused of doing. The man will turn the woman he loves over his knee and apply a firm hand... or a hairbrush... or a paddle... to her quivering derriere, ostensibly to "punish" her for her "misbehavior". However. there are clear erotic overtones to this kind of spanking. He might even admit that he enjoys putting his hand across her shapely bottom. And when the spanking is over. the woman may find herself eager to make love to the man who has just reddened her pretty backside.
Katie. in particular, really doesn't like to be spanked and tries to avoid spankings (to no avail, thankfully!)... but there are times when she can't help but be aroused by Bullmoose! Occasionally a visceral reaction overcomes her, when his masculine hand makes contact with the soft femininity of her nether cheeks! Yes. There have been times when her cries of pain and shouts of indignation have morphed into screams of ecstasy! Bullmoose, for his part, tries to limit Katie's spankings to the times when he can justify them as "discipilnary", but he can't deny the pleasure he feels, holding her across his lap.
A third type of "romantic" spanking might be more properly called an erotic spanking. The woman hasn't been "naughty". and the man knows it. Together, they've devised a roleplay/foreplay scenario.
I've got a story in progress that stars Katie and Bullmoose, and another one that stars Kaylyn and Jack.
Before I post them, I've got one more entry in the "Burns is Back" story. There's nothing romantic about Burns. When he delivers a spanking, his motives are strictly lecherous... and hypocritical.

His fans love that about him!
