Way back in Tumblr’s heyday, a young woman (she was 19) reached out to me to talk about maybe getting a spanking. We chatted on and off for a while — years — and even almost made plans to get together for a spanking. That is, until COVID hit and put the kibosh on those plans. We’d also discussed one of us taking the train to where the other lived — she doesn’t drive. There was never anything sexual between us — she told me up-front that she was attracted to women. That’s fine; I’ve spanked several women who aren’t attracted to men. A spanking can be not about sexual attraction for me and still be satisfying.

Finally, in 2024, this woman (who is now 33) attended the Oasis Labor Day Spanking Party and had a great time. It was so great that she made plans to fly across the country and attend my spanking party, GASP. That meant I’d finally get to meet her in person.

I’m usually extremely busy at GASP. I don’t take a lot of time for myself, and what free time I do have I usually dedicate to my partners. However, I didn’t have any plans for Sunday afternoon, during the F/M mixer and play party — and this young woman is solely a bottom, so she didn’t either.

We met up in the suites and I spanked the seat of her panties for a while.

That sounds so clinical, doesn’t it? It really doesn’t convey the weight of fourteen years of wished-for spankings (on her part) and wanted-to spankings (on my part). It doesn’t convey how many times we missed out on meeting up, how many conversations we had, how many jokes we’ve exchanged or stories we’ve told. It was more than just a hand spanking; it was the culmination of years of friendship, translated into the rhythm of my palm on her bottom. I spanked her moderately, and then I spanked her hard. I spanked her until she kicked her legs; I spanked her until she was out of breath. And, when it was over, she was very well-spanked and my hand was a little sore.

Never let it be said that online-only friendships aren’t real, especially in the spanking community. It doesn’t matter how long you wait; odds are good that when you do meet the spanking will be most satisfying for all involved.
