I was thinking about Lion’s impending doom on the spanking bench tonight, and it made me wonder if there should be a difference between punishment spankings and maintenance (just because) spankings. We decided they should be the same, but I’m not so sure. Hear me out.

In either case, Lion is “making” me spank him. I should technically be just as annoyed at having to give him a punishment spanking as I am to give him a maintenance spanking. (It annoys me because I don’t like hurting him, and it gives me another chore to do.) Initially, I was thinking I should be more annoyed about a punishment spanking because he’s actually done something to earn it. He broke a rule, dammit. Now I have to punish him. However, now I’m wondering if the maintenance spanking shouldn’t annoy me more. He didn’t do a damn thing, but I still have to spank him. Sheesh!

The whole purpose of just because swats were to get me used to spanking him and to improve my technique. I think it’s probably working. I’ve been concentrating on the overall redness, but I can just as easily go for red and bruising. The only question is whether punishment and non-punishment swats should be the same. Well, it’s my question. Lion is happy with them being the same.

I guess, in the overall scheme of things, it doesn’t matter if they’re the same because they can never truly be the same. One session might result in a red Lion butt all over. The next might produce a bruise and an inability to sit without some discomfort. Apparently, I’ve answered my own question. Do me a favor and remind me when I rehash this topic in the future. It will save us both a lot of time.

I just spent a few hours mowing the lawn and adding fencing for the dog. After I put the last connector in for the fence, I realized I blocked off the area needed to park the truck beside the camper. Oh, well. Not a big deal. I can live with the truck being in the driveway. Lion, however, pointed out that the car needs to live there while we’re off camping. Damn. That’s a job for next week. It would just annoy me right now.

We didn’t play last night. Dinner was very filling and then the dog needed attention. It was 9 before I got anywhere near Lion. He said he wasn’t horny at that point but he had been earlier. So today we’ll get an earlier start. It may even be before dinner. I’m not promising. If I promise then something usually interferes. There are many things that could interfere. Let’s not tempt fate.

I hope Lion enjoyed his mini vacation from just because spankings. They are set to resume tomorrow night. We’ve both been so tired, he hasn’t been breaking rules and, even if he had, I wouldn’t have caught him. I don’t think I’ve regressed. I’m confident that I can pick up a paddle and take up right where I left off last spanking. Although, Lion said I was a little too high last time. Being too high or too low can cause problems. I don’t want to hurt Lion. I need to swat him right in the chubby cheeks. Or that would be true if Lion had chubby cheeks. My goal is anywhere between the top of his crack to just below his cheeks. Normally I don’t have any trouble limiting myself to that area. I think I was overcompensating for Lion’s suggestion that I hit higher.

Many years ago, I used to cane Lion. That has an even narrower target area. It made me very nervous. I don’t know how much it would hurt him if I strayed outside the safe zone, but I didn’t want to find out. I know there are people who don’t abide by Lion’s small target area. I’ve seen videos of canings that go down onto the thighs and up onto the back. Either they’re doing it wrong or Lion knows he doesn’t want to be hit that far from center. I’m just glad I can’t hurt him as much by spanking him.

Yesterday was hot. It was over 90° F again. I know. We’re wimps. I am especially guilty. I don’t know why but the heat has been kicking my ass this year. Even with the air conditioner, I was sweating. My mind was willing to play with Lion, but I didn’t want to get close to him. He’s usually a furnace. This morning, it seems cooler. It rained a tiny bit when I was out with the puppy around 5:30. Right now, it’s 72° but still a little warm in parts of the house. With the fan or air conditioner on in the bedroom, I think I’ll be able to get close to Lion tonight.

There hasn’t been anything going on around here lately. We’ve been dealing with stomach issues and tiredness. This morning I fell back to sleep watching TV. Clearly, the puppy is wreaking havoc on us. It’s a good thing she’s so cute. My goal today is to do some chores and then do Lion. He said he was horny, and he was fishing for intimacy last night. I was just too hot. The first thing I have to do, however, is get Lion out of bed. He went back to sleep after his eye drops. I’m telling you, we’re sleep-deprived.

Without promising that we’ll do extensive anal training, I do want to play with him anally. He seemed to have some fun the other night when we did a bit. I can even check to see if we have any ginger. I’m hoping it will get him even hornier, so maybe he’ll get close to the edge tonight. It’s still early in the cycle, but it’s possible. He won’t have an orgasm, but that’s part of the game. I need to get back into doing different things to turn him on. He needs more than just sex. I think I’m up for the task.

I fell asleep when I got home from work yesterday. Suddenly it was almost 7. Oops. I guess I really was tired. When I put the puppy in her crate, I reminded her that the goal was to sleep until 6. Yeah, right. She was up at 3 again. And then she was up well before 6. Luckily, she didn’t whine too much and let me sleep a little longer. Lion was up, so I let her out and was able to nod off until 6:30, when the alarm went off. And then I went to work. A two-hour meeting made me incredibly sleepy again. Argh!

The just because spanking for tonight was canceled yesterday. Lion and I have been having stomach issues for the past week or so. We’re at the point that we feel better, but that next meal might send us over the edge again. Part of my problem may be a lack of sleep. Do I have enough energy for normal digestion? I think it’s better to lay low for a while longer to let things work themselves out. Barring any setbacks, we should be good to go for Monday.

Is it inertia or self-preservation? Maybe a bit of both. Obviously, being tired can lead to inertia. By not expending energy to spank him, I’m giving myself a chance to recover. Lion, too. I don’t imagine he’d have too much fun being swatted when his gut is angry. Plus, I think inertia happens unconsciously. I am fully aware that I’m putting off spanking. The problem starts if I don’t spank him Monday without a reason. Believe me, I’m fighting hard against inertia.

We’re also entering the time frame in which Lion starts to be more interested in sex. I’m not saying he’ll be horny necessarily. He’s just thinking about it. Rubbing my weenie will feel very nice but may or may not result in an erection. If he does get one, he may not be able to hold it long. This is the period of time that I don’t think really counts as part of the wait, but I haven’t figured out a way to qualify it. He might say he’s been waiting 14 days, but for the first six, he might not have been horny at all. Doesn’t that mean he’s only been waiting nine days? So far, the only reliable way we have of counting is to start the day after an orgasm. Who’s to say he isn’t super horny on day four?

We’ve been pretty boring lately. Puppy, puppy, puppy, blah, blah, blah. Not much on the sex front. I thank you for your patience.

[Lion — My interest in sex comes back after a day or so. My ability to get hard may or may not return so soon. Today is the 5th day and I have definite sexual thoughts.]
