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.

About that talk with Nick...

I couldn’t make up my mind what I wanted to say. I mean, it’s been a decade we’ve been working at this, yet so many times it’s just gone. It’s so easy to get busy and let it go out of our lives. Nick is usually will to dole out a spanking because he knows I like it, but he’s never understood discipline as it is in my mind. That’s no fault of his, I don’t understand it either.




I hesitated to go to him for the hundredth time asking and trying to explain again. How to you convey the truth that for a born spanko TTWD is a need and not just a desire? It’s not like food and water where you’ll actually die without it. It’s more like sunshine – you can do without for a long time, but when it’s not in your life you’re not as healthy, you begin to feel dull and listless, your body yearns for it. It that way TTWD is truly a need for me.



The idea of talking with him stayed in my mind, but it’s an easy thing to put off, after all I’d put it off for the first twenty-three years we were married. I didn’t write out what I wanted to say as I usually do, I didn’t ask him to let me know when he had time for a discussion. I just decided, day after day, to talk to him ‘in a few days.’

So I guess you can imagine my surprise when he took my hand Friday morning and said, “I think we need to talk.” as he led me to the bedroom. “Go ahead and take off your clothes, you seem to listen better that way.” And while I was still stunned, he bent me over the bed and began spanking as he talked.

He said he knew it had been a long time since I’d had a real spanking. He’s well aware of how life gets in the way. But he’d picked the one thing in which I need his help more than any other. I don’t want Nick bossing me around, telling me what I can do, or when to do it or how much to spend or anything of that nature. I’m too old to listen about things that don’t really matter to us. But health issues – yes, I need his help, his dominance desperately!

While he spanked – hand spanking, stinging but not harsh – he pointed out that I’d stalled completely on the weight loss the doctor insisted was so important for my overall health and especially my diabetes.  He was right, after being frightened initially a year ago when I was diagnosed I lost fourteen pounds. Then I stopped trying. I haven’t gain those pounds back, but I haven’t lost any more.



Nick then set a goal – a very reasonable and doable goal. There is a firm dead line each month – with possible reminders along the way. But he told me if I just blow it off and he’s not seeing the effort there will be a paddling that’s not the fun, giggling kind we often dream of. He says it will be serious, because the health issue is serious.



*A note for newcomers, Nick is the most reasonable of men. He know that weigh loss often reaches a plateau and stops for a while. But he and I both know that’s not why I stopped losing, I stopped losing because I stopped trying. This also has nothing to do with how I look, this is for my health and nothing else.

Bless him, I hope he’s serious. I need the help I need the atmosphere of TTWD to keep me thinking and trying and being optimistic. I look forward to the short, sweet, stinging spankings that will remind me to pay attention. It feel like the sun is trying to peek out again.

The last things he told me to do that morning before he let me up was to plan on emailing him by Tuesday with ideas I felt would work for me on the weight loss front, things I was planning to do and not do that would jump start me in the right direction. I love it when he insist I email him. I mean, of course I can email him any time – but the idea of being told to email, told to tell him how I’m doing or what I’m thinking, that’s one of the most loving things he can do for me.

So you see I never got around to having that talk with Nick, he had one with me and that's so much better.

    1. I so hope he's serious. I want to get this done, but I haven't been able to make myself on my own. Having him behind me means everything.

  2. Wow PK! So very proud of Nick...your health is definitely important and so happy he stepped up. I loaded a free app on my phone called Lose It and have lost 25 pounds since last April...Jz is also using it. It is easy to use and helps with reasonable goals. I entered that I wanted to lose 1 pound a week and enter my weight once a week (Sunday morning). Sometimes I have lost a bit more sometimes I have gained a bit but being consistent has helped a lot. I am very visual and I love the charts it shows me. Sending lots of positive energy for you.

    Hugs and blessings...Cat

  3. Hi PK, wow,I'm smiling reading this. Good on Nick! Your health is important and I'm so glad Nick is willing to help you with your goals.

    I love how you likened the need for ttwd to the need for sunshine. Wonderful analogy. I hope the sun keeps shining for you :)

    1. I just want it so bad - and not just the slap on the but but the feeling that we are doing TTWD together. It makes me feel so much closer to Nick.

  4. So happy Nick has stepped up to help you improve your health PK. Don't ignore it as its very important. You want to live a long, healthy retired life and be around when you finally have grandchildren.
    I also love your analogy to ttwd being like sunshine. When its not around it feels like the sky is grey.
    So get moving girl and eat the right food. We should all encourage each other I reckon as I also need to do this for health reasons.

    Hugs Lindy xx

  7. Oh, Happy Day! I know Nick does not know any of us a bit, but do give him a huge thank you from your friends out in blogland. Reasonable goals and firm consequences will have you smiling as the pounds drop off.

    We let things slide over the holidays, and Sam has recently "helped" me get back on track. I was writing a post about it, in fact!

    Much Love From Ella

    1. The guys never really realize how much we depend on them. It's NOT his responsibility, it's mine. But it's so much easier with his help.

  10. That's is just the best ray of sunshine anywhere! My "expectations" are all health related so I do understand where Nick's coming from as my DH is happy to remind me....meet the "expectation" or meet with him😀! You have this and he has you.

  11. PK, I'm so happy for you; you've always said you respond better to the stick than the carrot and now Nick is providing the incentive you need to tackle your weight loss and improve your health. Yay for you both!
    I love your sunshine analogy too.

  13. PK, I think this is wonderful! :) Nick sure surprised you, and his love for you is so evident here! Nick knows what you need, what you'd like, and wants you healthy! We all do! You can do it, and while you are, you have a whole bunch of us cheerleaders across the globe! I'm happy for you both!

  16. Dear PK, please allow me to be a little provocative. I am curious. What if you actually attain your goal. There will bo no spanking. And what if, theoretically, you remove all your flaws for which you are spanked... All spankings will be over. You like the spanking and you need it. It's rather a prize for you than a punishment. I am with you on it bacuase I like giving it very much as well and I am most excited when my girl wants it needs needs it. But for me it is a very poor motivator - or punishment - because there is pleasure coming with it, so it's no deterrent all, is it? That is why I have no believe in punishment spanking for anyone who likes spanking because, it's no punishment whatsoever. To put it most illustratively, I would be most opposed to giving a spanking to a womean for a speeding ticket because I think I might seriously put in danger her health or life.

    1. Mobby, You have brought up some great points here and I would like to give you my thoughts on what you've said. Your question was raised by Nick at the beginning. I want to do a post on this tomorrow or the next day. Please come back.

    2. Oh, I am back, not about to leave, and I am curious about your thoughts. This is a topic that has intrigued me for a long time.

      btw, I am reading my own post and getting ashamed at the grammar mistakes I left in it. What does it call for? ;) But, I can be excused, it was well past midnight when I was writing that :)

    3. Mobby, the post will be up at midnight - no spanking needed for a few grammatical errors (though if you're feeling guilty, feel free to ask your lady for a few swats.)
