Mrs. Lion has unpacked almost all of the kitchen. We now have a table and chairs set for meals. The pots and pans are hanging over the counter, and our dishes are unpacked. She’s getting used to her “atomic” (induction) range. It’s incredibly fast heating pots. It’s also Mrs. Lion’s birthday and we will have some Carvel ice cream cake to celebrate.

All of our BDSM and sexual activity is on hold. If I’m up for it, Mrs. Lion said I can have an orgasm. Yes, please.

Moving is exhausting. We’ll have to work hard to restore our normal rules and punishments. The spanking bench is covered with stuff pulled from cartons but not put away. The massage table and waxing stuff are scattered or still packed. I’m just learning to find my way around our house. Before we can return to fun and games, there is a lot to do. It’s been almost two months since Mrs. Lion spanked me.

I hope we can find our way out of this mess soon.

Happy birthday, Mrs. Lion!

I started writing this post several times. I never got past the first few paragraphs. Nothing seemed right to talk about. A lot has been running through my mind. Mrs. Lion’s birthday is coming up in a couple of days. I’m feeling old and helpless. No, not because of her birthday. We are in our new house, and the combination of new surroundings, my declining eyesight, and boxes everywhere, I don’t feel safe anywhere except in bed or at my desk. I haven’t been anywhere other than the ensuite bathroom for over a week now.

Mrs. Lion is doing her best to work and unpack. It could be months before I can safely move around the house. This situation is depressing. I feel alone and trapped. My lioness is doing her best to clear the rubble. It’s a daunting task, and her energy is limited. She’s working hard to make things as normal as possible. I wish I could help.

These practical issues are more important than the sexual/recreational activities we love. It’s been almost two months since she’s spanked me. I had an orgasm a week ago. It was one of those “sneak attack” orgasms that arrive without warning and produce very little in the way of pleasure and semen. We plan to try again this weekend.

It’s not fair to make a list of what isn’t happening. Moving is traumatic. My to-do list includes reviewing the Mature Metal waist chain and its extremely short male chastity device. I’ll do that as soon as we can get some manscaping done. I’m way too furry for photography.

Meanwhile, we are doing our best to survive and dig out of the sea of cartons. More in a day or so.

my flat ass and legs
This is my body. I have a small, flat ass.

Once in a while Mrs. Lion references my flat butt. She’s right; it’s very small. It won’t even let me wear a belt. Jeans just slide over my narrow hips and down my legs. I have to wear suspenders. I hate them. I’m also not too fond of how I look from behind. It’s taken me years to discover what style jeans to buy that don’t look baggy in back (slim fit). Yeah, I know that this is a problem women usually complain about. Well, guess what? Guys like having nice rears too.

Obviously rear-enhancing undies

Apparently, almost no one has discovered this male vanity. One company, Obviously underwear, has. I received an email advertising “Underwear fabric with butt shaper effect.” I was intrigued. Obviously is the famous maker of pouch underpants. Each pair has a roomy pouch for cock and balls. I have a bunch of them. They are very comfortable and look good in front. Now, they are claiming butt improvement.

The image on the site is impressive. I yearn to look that way in back. I’m sure I won’t, but maybe, just maybe, my rear will have some shape. Mrs. Lion says she likes my ass just the way it is. I don’t doubt her, but I suspect she might like to see more shape when I stand up. Based on the pictures she has taken of me riding the spanking bench, I exhibit some nice roundness when my butt is presented as a target for her paddles. Unfortunately, the shape goes away when I stand. I ordered some of this new butt-shaping underwear. Maybe it will improve my rear view.

My butt has a nice shape when I ride the spanking bench

When I start obsessing over things like the shape of my butt, it’s a clear signal that I am way past horny. Since I suffer from erectile dysfunction, this strong need doesn’t translate to boners. That doesn’t change how my hormones are stirring me up. Mrs. Lion said that she knows where some Edex is. I’m hoping she will unearth it and give me some relief. I’m not as anxious for her to find the paddle collection. Of course, she doesn’t need a paddle to spank me. We have a ton of pervertable kitchen and bathroom items that will make me yelp when she hits me with them. Her sore shoulders may be keeping her away from that particular activity.

Meanwhile, we need to do a lot of unpacking. We are nowhere near livable yet.

the WordPress nazis strike again

WordPress is the content management system used by millions of bloggers and other website creators. It’s produced by a company named “Automatic.” It’s available as a free application you can install on a computer. That’s what I use here. It’s also available as a turn-key blog on wordpress.com. There is a free version as well as paid, more powerful versions available. The other big provider of blog software is Google. They offer turn-key blogs much the same way as Automatic.

What you might not know is that Automatic also offers a plugin called Jetpack. This plugin offers additional features for standalone WordPress installations. Some of the enhancements are free; others cost money. I’ve been a Jetpack user since we started this blog. Last week, I got an email from the “Trust Department” at Automatic informing me that unless I remove sexually explicit content from my site, they would disconnect the Jetpack plugin. Fucking nazis!

I immediately blasted back with an email informing them that I would not change content and they could shove Jetpack up their corporate ass. I’ve done so. As a result, we temporarily can’t manage notifying subscribers of posts, and we can’t show related posts. We also lost their backup service. However, we have that covered another way.

Another chastity blogger, Denying Thumper, was a paid WordPress.com subscriber. The content nazis shut him down without warning. They did that to Collard Michael as well. Both found new homes on hosts who don’t think sex is a crime.

It’s a shame that such narrow-minded people run Automatic. Over the years they were a friendly source of help for bloggers at all skill levels. The WordPress content management system is still the best way to create a blog. A huge chunk of the Internet uses it. It seems irresponsible for Automatic to attempt to censor content. If a website is not breaking the law, why should a corporation try to censor it?

At this point, it doesn’t look like Automatic can censor sites like ours that use the freeware version of WordPress. They might want to try, but too many outlets distribute the free software. Still, there’s something horribly wrong with a company as important as Automatic using its ability to shut down customers as a way of repressing perfectly legal sexual content. Sex isn’t a crime. Pictures of naked people aren’t obscene. I’m disgusted by Automatic and its Hitlarian approach to doing business.

If you have a WordPress.com website and pay for it, send me a note (Contact Us), and I can point you to a much cheaper resource that protects your privacy and respects your content.

We are in our new house. The movers finished last Thursday. We are living in a sea of boxes. Mrs. Lion has been working to get us unpacked enough to function on a semi-normal level. My office is a cacoon of boxes with my desk and computer in the middle. Our technology is almost fully installed. Our VOIP phones are working, and both Internet services are up and running.

Between looking for a new house and moving, our more personal activities have fallen behind. I mentioned that I hadn’t been spanked in a long time (42 days), and she replied we hadn’t done other things, either. She’s right. It’s been 21 days since my last orgasm. I suppose the math suggests that I need a spanking twice as much as I do an orgasm. My imagination has been going on both subjects. Of course, Mrs. Lion has to be up for doing something. She’s been sore from packing and unpacking. There’s also the matter of finding where the paddles and Edex are packed. Mrs. Lion mentioned that the paddles are in cartons marked “Personal,” but she hasn’t seen any sign of them yet. Edex is also buried somewhere.

If she wants to spank me, Mrs. Lion can improvise with my hairbrush, I suppose. The spanking bench is conveniently located at the foot of our bed. There is plenty of room to use it right where it is. How convenient for her!

The priority has to be getting our new house set up. Still, it’s getting more difficult to avoid getting grumpy over the lack of below-the-waist attention. Yes, I know it isn’t a priority, and I accept this reality. I’m doing my best to accept it gracefully.

I’m not sure I ever got a hairbrush paddling. I have a paddle-shaped hairbrush that I’ve been using for years as a hairbrush. I’m pretty sure it can deliver a good spanking, but will require more effort than Mrs. Lion’s too-efficient paddles. I’m confident that one way or another the spanking bench will be used in the near future.
