The Spanking Blog

Too Severe???

I recently received a comment regarding my private discipline video in which it was suggested that the spanking that I gave to Monica was simply just abuse, I chose not to approve the comment.  I recently received this follow up comment as a result of me not approving the original:

“Too harsh a comment for you was it? Not someone who likes to hear the opposing view? That is weakness MM...not strength.”

I would like to fully acknowledge that there is indeed someone out there that feels I went too far with that punishment.  I have encouraged this individual to write me a full e-mail, which I will post as an actual blog post, not just a comment.  I am hopeful that this person will respond to my e-mail, for I think it is important for all voices to be heard.  Here is the e-mail I sent to this individual, I hope they will take me up on my offer:

“Greetings,

I feel as though with the comment that you sent, that you were passing judgment, not trying to engage me in a dialog.  I do not think you considered all the facts, including that this is someone who personally enjoys discipline of this nature.  She is also someone who really wants a scene that is hard enough to produce tears, in which she has never achieved.  I would be more than happy to explore your feelings on this matter, either privately or publicly.  If you would like to give me a more detailed version of why you feel what is portrayed in that scene is nothing but “abuse”, I would be more than happy to post it as an actual blog post, on my front page, and not just as a rarely read comment.  I feel there is a place for everyone to have their own opinion, and I do not feel that mine is necessarily more relevant than someone else’s.  I believe that people enjoy aspects of spanking on many different levels, from playful erotic spanking, all the way to very painful disciplinary punishments.  I believe there is room in this world for both… and everything in between.  As long as the activity is between adults and is safe, sane, and consensual, it is not my place to judge what someone else desires and achieves excitement from.

While I appreciate your point of view, I would just prefer you expand on it, and make your case with more than just a couple of sentences that seem to come across as though the activities I engage in are somehow wrong within this particular kink.  Send me your thoughts and let me know if you would like them to be viewed publicly, and I will make sure that everyone who visits my blog can read your opinion.  I will give you complete anonymity and will not include any reference to your e-mail address. I will indeed respond with a post of my own.  I can assure you I will treat you and what you have to say with much respect.  I fully realize that the harder aspects of this particular kink do now appeal to everyone and it is not my desire to encourage people to take things to a level that their partner is not comfortable with, or does not desire.  I do appreciate your input and look forward to a future dialog regarding the severity of spanking and what might be considered too much.”

Cheers,
Michael Masterson
