I have been a wife and mother for over twenty years. Now I am becoming my husband's lover, too.
We owe it all to my fellow bloggers who gave me the courage to come out to my husband as a spanko.
I do feel like this is a New Beginning for us.

Love our Lurkers - Day two (just a little more)

I’m enjoying this two-day Love our Lurkers extravaganza! If you didn’t get by to read my post yesterday I hope you’ll read it today. I really mean all it says. I wanted to add my thought about answering comments. Its something I’m very passionate about. I can’t guarantee I’ll answer every comment left here, but I can promise I answer them more that 95% of the time.  If you take the time out of you day to come by and read what I have to say and then go one step further and leave me a comment, you better believe I’m going to answer that comment!

And if after reading all these invitation out here if you are still hesitant to comment on blogs, but you would still like to make some contact, I would love to have you email me. I’ve been around a long time and I’ve never broken a confidence yet. So if you want to talk or you have questions I’d love to hear from you. You can write me at elisspeaks@yahoo.com


Love our Lurkers day – I’ve had the good fortune to be here for all of them.  Nine years ago we often talked about how to get people to talk to us and LOL Day is the results of these musings. I remember feeling very self-conscious about commenting in the beginning. To me it seemed that those commenting must have known one another forever, and who wants a stranger butting into your conversations?

Out here no one is a stranger and we want to talk to everyone – if we didn’t our blogs would be private. We mostly all came here for the same reason – the idea of spanking intrigued us. We felt a little weird and strange about it, but we knew it was true. And we also knew – instinctively – that it was something you NEVER discussed with anyone!  That’s why I felt like I’d happily fallen down the rabbit hole when I found blogs.

Suddenly I was among like-minded people who freely and openly discussed spanking. The statement, “My husband spanked me last night and I’m still sore!” was met with congratulations rather than horror. Before blogs I would eye the wooden spoons in stores and secretively glance over at the paddleball paddles in the toy section. Now I can not only discuss pervertables – belts, hair brushes, wooden spoons, slippers, bread boards and the like, but we can discuss the merits of wood vs leather. My friends (Blondie) make and sell the best paddles ever and I’ve shopped with on line friends for everything from floggers to straps.

This is a special community of very special people – our secret desires might be looked down on by the general public, but here if you have an interest in spanking you are already one of us and you belong to the club. If you haven’t commented before please take the time to say hello today. You can stop with hello, or you may decide to blog yourself, either way you are completely welcomed into this community and we’re very, very happy to have you.

  1. Happy LOL day, PK. You know better than anyone that it changed my life when I stopped lurking and started commenting and got to meet wonderful people like you, who "encouraged'' me to start blogging and made it easier by setting up my blog. I can never thank you enough.

    Hi PK - I'm new(ish) to your blog - and since I haven't commented yet, I guess I qualify as a lurker, lol. I think you said it all so beautifully in this post - who we are, why we are here, the wonderful sense of belonging & acceptance we have and the special friendships we can make when we take a moment and reach out. Hope you enjoy meeting many other new friends - Happy LOL Day!

    Hi PK. I comment so seldom that I think I still qualify as a lurker. I found Blogland by accident (didn't most of us?!) a couple of years ago and it was so good to find a whole bunch of people who don't think being spanked is only for freaks. Hope you get lots of visitors today.

  10. Looking over my list of blogs, I checked Rogue at Roguesawakening off and ambled on over to PK. I need a few moments to catch my breath. To be in the presence of one of the original creators of LOL Day was tantamount to be able to come close to the Queen of England. My heart was a-flutter.

    The sun was coming up so I no longer needed the night vision goggles I wore to find my way to Rogue's and de-lurk for a surprise visit. That didn't go as planned and I scared her into spilling her wine. The neighbors in PK's community would probably call the police, so I quickly changed (behind a bush but please don't tell my husband) into my sexy black dress and heels. Adding a bit of lipstick and puffing my hair, I was ready.

    I calmly walked towards PK's place, New Beginnings. Looking around to make sure I wasn't seen, I pulled the gift out of my bag and left it for her to find. A gift certificate to her cabin in the mountains where she did all her writing and a note that read, "Dear PK. I hope you enjoy the 9th LOL Day! Love a lurker."

    Time for a giggle, grin and maybe a reflection over at Cat's. I walked off with a saucy giggle in my step.

    1. ROFLMAO! I love this comment. I certainly home you curtsied and kissed the screen before you commented!

SOMEONE needs to tell him about you changing outside in the bushes!

    Hello, I guess I do qualify as a lurker, but as an older not to tech savvy man I am uncomfortable with commenting. I of course go to almost all of the spanking sights and I do not usually comment because I feel uncomfortable in doing so. Part of it is also about being rather introverted as well. I hope you all understand.

    Replies
    1. Barkleygh, you continue doing whatever you are comfortable with. You are welcome no matter what, but we would still really enjoy hearing from you. We don't have many men reading and I for one would really like to know your thoughts. Think about it. You might chose a blog or two and comment, if it makes you uncomfortable stop - but you might find you really like it. I hope you'll keep reading no matter what.
