This morning, just before I left for work, Lion said he did a stupid thing. He forgot to remind me that yesterday was punishment day. Uh oh. Poor Lion butt. I guess I know what I’ll be doing later. Fire up the paddle!

As you can see, I don’t remember punishment day myself. This week was a short one for us, not only because of the holiday, but also because we took an extra day off to avoid the holiday traffic. Yesterday didn’t seem like Thursday. It didn’t seem like any particular day. Not that I usually know what day it is anyway.

Lion forgot to remind me on Monday too. I let that go because it was a holiday. Sadly, yesterday was not a holiday. Lion’s buns will be red tonight. And it’s probably about time, too. I think he gets complacent when he hasn’t been whomped in a while. He did get a play spanking on Wednesday but that’s nothing like a punishment spanking. Without any maintenance spankings, I think it’s easy for Lion to forget what it feels like. He gets used to following the rules. He takes it for granted. And then…WHAM! It all comes crashing down.

In his defense, he was dealing with an eye condition. He had a doctor’s appointment and medicine was prescribed. It wasn’t a normal day for him. And blah, blah, blah, excuses. 2.0 doesn’t want to hear about any eye problems. 3.0 certainly wouldn’t give a darn. And when does Lion 2.0 emerge? Or has he?

I suppose one could argue that Lion 2.0 showed up once he was no longer interested in masturbation. Well, I may give him 1.5. Maybe 1.8 since he follows most rules most of the time. What’s the next criteria for making it to 2.0? I hadn’t thought about it till just now. We’ve paid so much attention to Lioness 2.0, it seems only fair that there be a Lion 2.0. At the very least, Lion should be striving for it.

What do you think?

small blue apanking paddle
This is Mrs. Lion’s little blue paddle. It’s lightweight and a perfect size for close work. Click the image for a link to purchase this item (No, we don’t get a commission!).

Wednesday night’s pick from the Box O’Fun was a play spanking. It was interesting and exciting. Mrs. Lion used a small, flexible , rubbery paddle that she prefers for close work. After some nice hand spanking, she used this toy to spank some hard-to-reach spots like the sensitive skin inside my crack. She also focused closely on my “sit spot”. I didn’t yelp once!

She systematically pulled each cheek back and gave me several swats on that tender skin. Then she focused on the “sit spot” where my butt always meets a chair. Each swat was carefully placed to have the maximum effect. It was a bit like when she puts clothespins on my balls. She carefully locates the spots where she knows the pinch hurts the most. 2.0 is a methodical lioness.

The spanking turned me on. I was nearly fully erect by the time Mrs. Lion had me turn over for some teasing. It had only been four days since my last orgasm. Nevertheless, I was ready for another. Mrs. Lion didn’t disappoint me. She gave me a beautiful orgasm. What a sweetie!

That’s one more card out of the Box O’Fun. A lot of unpleasant activities lurk inside waiting for the poor, unsuspecting lion to pick.

I often read “I’m Hers” a femdom blog by the husband in a marriage not too different from ours. I enjoy his take on FLR’s. In a recent post he complained about the lack of comments to his posts. He threatened to stop blogging because he felt that he was essentially talking to himself. I understand that feeling. We get very few comments here as well.

For a long time it bothered me that our blog  isn’t very interactive. Some loyal readers click the “Like” button after each post to let us know we are being heard. I like that a lot. But not very many bother to do even that. When I read other blogs with much smaller audiences, I see long rows of “likes” and many comments. You can get an idea of the relative popularity of a blog on alexa.com. The link shows our current rating. If you type in the domain of any site you want, you can see how it stacks up.

We have other tools that actually count how many people visit and what pages are read. So I know we have readers. We just don’t have many contributors. That’s too bad. I love learning how others see things. That’s why I read all those blogs. Each one has a different take on the subject it covers. The ones that are explicit, sexual reads tend to get the most comments. Spanking blogs get lots of comments.

The number of comments is not an indicator of readership. Some of the blogs I read have a small, loyal reader base that actively comments on each post. That’s truly cool! I know that we have loyal readers who slog through what we write every day. I’m grateful to them. They are like invisible friends. I know they are there; I just can’t manage to see many of them.

Over the years I’ve struggled with this lack of regular feedback. We’ve written over 3,100 posts and have published 3,400 comments. Most of our posts garner no comments at all. I choose to believe the lack of comments is not a measure of our quality. It may be that our posts feel like an ongoing story and our readers follow each chapter but don’t want to insert themselves in the narrative. How’s that for putting a spin on things?

Since we have no commercial stake in The Journal, the only logical reason for putting in the time to produce it has to be getting emotional satisfaction out of producing this daily opus. Mrs. Lion and I like to write. Our blog gives us the opportunity to chronicle our adventures in male chastity and our FLRD (Female Led Relationship with Discipline).  Are we writing for ourselves? Of course we are. But we both love the opportunity to open a dialogue with our readers.

A decent percentage of our readers use their phones to peruse The Journal each day. A phone is a lousy tool for writing comments. Could that be the reason our audience is often mute? A more disturbing possibility is that our writing is exclusionary. Perhaps one or both of our writing styles precludes input from our readers. A long time ago, one of our readers commented that my posts don’t invite comments. That hurt.  If it’s true, it has never been my intention to shut you out. The lack of “Likes” and feedback don’t make me want to stop. There are too many reasons why people who actually like what we say wouldn’t respond.

For one thing, the “Like” button isn’t particularly user friendly. You have to be logged into your WordPress account before your “Like” will work. That’s how WordPress set it up. Annoying! Comments require time and a keyboard to contribute. I get it. Still, if you get the chance please drop us a line or log into your WordPress account and give us a “Like”.

Thank you.

Lion’s choice from the Box O’Fun was spanking. I know he was dreading making a painful pick, but he was lucky. Not all of the selections are as wanted as that one. Next time will probably involve more pain.

The last time I gave Lion a play spanking, I started out kneeling and then moved to a seated position. I leaned on him while I swatted. Lat night I started out sitting. We both liked that I leaned on him. It may not be the best position for a “good” spanking but I like how close we are. Besides, I had a slapper that didn’t require long strokes. I even parted his cheeks so I could slap between them. It’s a very sensitive area.

I usually swat all over his buns and I did that last night as well. But I also concentrated quite a few swats on the sweet spot where he sits. Not that he really sits while we watch TV in bed. I just wanted to do it. I called it his “sit spot”. By concentrating the swats I knew the soreness would last a little longer. It wasn’t a very vigorous session. I just got him rosy. But Mr. Weenie was at attention when he rolled over.

He was nice and hard. Maybe not as hard as he’s ever been but certainly hard enough to tease. And tease I did. I know it was only a few days since his last orgasm but I don’t care. I like to give him orgasms. I don’t think it has anything to do with his being wild or not. There are times he’s very horny and almost begging to come that I don’t give in. Other times he’s not necessarily all that horny and I’ll let him come. There’s really no rhyme or reason. Something just makes me want to give him an orgasm more than other times.

Lion, wisely, doesn’t argue with my decision. Sure, he used to ask why I gave in so soon. He’s stopped asking. Smart boy!

Mrs. Lion and I make frequent, often-worrisome references to the Box O’Fun. This is a “gimmick” she invented to add spice to our play. She wrote BDSM activities, one-to-a-card on index cards. These activities range from a benign ball bondage session to tiny dollhouse clothespins applied to the head of my penis. She’s included everything we’ve ever done on one or more cards.

I’ver always managed to talk my way out of the meanest activities before the Box was created. Mrs. Lion is committed to performing what ever is written on the card I select. As you probably guessed, I can’t see what’s on the cards until after I pick one. They are folded in half. She keeps the Box locked in the same safe that holds the key to my chastity device. I can’t cheat and remove particularly odious “prizes”.

I like that we are going to use the Box again. Lioness 2.0 is going to push the limit on anything I select. I also like that. It isn’t that I want lots of pain. At least I don’t think I do. It’s more about how hot it is to surrender control to her with the full knowledge she’ll hurt me. That’s a big turn on!

The Box O’fun assures I will suffer a variety of activities. Each card I select goes into a storage box and isn’t returned to the Box until I have picked all of the cards. That means sooner or later those little clothespins will be decorating my cock head. It’s inevitable. I like that too.

The Box also has anal cards too. They tell Mrs. Lion to stuff various toys up my ass. Nothing’s been up there in months. In case you wondered, when Mrs. Lion thinks of something new, she creates one or more cards for the activity. That’s the other thing. There is more than one card for some activities. I don’t know which activities have dupes or triples. When we get back to playing with the Box more often, I’ll find out.

I like the gamification of BDSM. I enjoyed our Zapardy game. Spanking games are exciting too. I always enjoyed games where there were penalties I had to pay. I love when the penalties are inevitable. It’s no fun if I can talk my way out.

There’s one thing that we may have missed with the Box O’Fun. The box contains lots of mostly-painful activities, but doesn’t specify how long the activity should go on. Mrs. Lion may want to consider whether she needs to modify the game a bit to cover duration.

She also may have some new ideas as well. I’ll find out when I pick the right (un)lucky card.
