Spanking News

We are getting close to the end of another year and so, like everyone else we can look back on the old year and try to work out just what happened. Just what did happen to us all?

We let the banks turn us all over then we let the government do the same and now we are letting the banks have another bite of the cherry just encase there is any fruit left on it. We continue with two major wars in countries where we are not wanted with the object being no doubt to inflict our form of democracy and governance on these peoples, the same democracy and governance that almost destroyed the world’s economic base but what the hell, they will like it when they get it. Not only that we can exploit their rich recourses and add to our wealth but that we expand our power base into every corner of the globe, if they are lucky enough we might ask them to become members of the EEC!
We had the chance to tackle global warming head on and because the rich nations have not yet found a way to make the undeveloped and developing economies pay for our mistakes we passed on by on the other side and denied the whole of mankind the chance to bequeath a better tomorrow to our planet and our kids. There are however those who will gain from this, the self same people who got us into the financial mess we are all paying for now, yes they are even trading carbon, well it’s there so let’s make money out of it.

You know, most of us here at Spanking Towers are children of the 60’s yes we are getting on a bit now and when we look back at what those happy hopeful years where individuality and flower power reigned free what have we left for our legacy?
It would seem not a great deal, we still have world poverty, we still have children living in poverty in the USA and the UK, we still have drug taking and the accompanying violence in our worlds capitol cities. We still have illiteracy and children leaving school not able to read or write but able to be locked away in increasing numbers for not having any sort of life to look forward to, we are still sending our young folk to be slaughtered in the most horrible ways in those same countries who don’t want us and we still sacrifice everything for the gods money and wealth.   

Will things change with the coming of a new year? We sadly doubt it, we will all carry on in our own selfish way and think of ourselves first and others a sad last, we still won’t see the big picture, we will still allow those who we elect to govern us to continue in the same self serving way that seems to go with the job, we still let them reduce our freedom to do as we wish and to apply more and more state control over our lives and we don’t even think that our freedom is reason enough to get off our back sides and vote these people out of office and demand a new system, the same system they want to export to the counties they are having us invade.

Happy New Year

Antivirus company McAfee have taken it upon themselves to become the sole arbiter of the safety or otherwise of your web sites.

The first you will know about the mayhem and mischief that McAfee are causing is when you, if you use their antivirus program, or one of your potential customers tells you about a notice in red that flags up every time someone goes to your site. This is what they will see:

McAfee TrustedSource web reputation analysis found potential security risks with this site. Use with extreme caution.

This is based on a supposed automated scan of your site and is posted and actioned without being checked for accuracy and before you as the web site owner or webmaster have a chance to check or to comment. When you try to get McAfee to fix the problem it turns out that this can take them up to TEN WORKING DAYS! What a great thing to happen to any site over the Christmas/New Year Period! So for at least ten working days you will be losing business with no way of recouping your losses for the libellous and defamatory statements made by McAfee.

Don’t you just love a company like this? This company must be snowed under with complaints if it takes them ten working days to deal with a complaint!

How dare they do this to legitimate businesses who make every effort to ensure that their servers and all their programs are free of any viruses or malware?

Maybe they are so big that they feel they can’t be challenged in this, maybe they don’t care that they are not only costing you as a web site owner money but that they are also damaging your reputation.

We have listed below a number of web sites where you can go to read more about this arrogant and malicious company and its software and to register your dissatisfaction with this company. Hopefully a class action can be instigated against them for defamation and damages.

Let me quote from http://siteadvisorclassaction.blogspot.com/2008/06/mcafee-site-advisor-run-amuck.html

“Yes, thousands of small business web site owners are shaking their heads wondering how in the world McAfee Site Advisor can ruin it’s business by rating it as a malicious web site. And now they are wondering how in the world Yahoo can simply put its head in the sand when it comes to the inaccurate ratings they publish in their search results. For me, the site that I have spent eight back-breaking years building is now being torn down by a false positive RED rating (for supposed spamminess) by Site Advisor (happily and blindly republished by Yahoo) and a McAfee support team that won’t act”.

 We at spanking news have been contacted by one of our readers who was very concerned at some of the images available on a social network site.  He had seen our recent write up about the World Fetish Forum and wrote us an e-mail.  We have included an extract from it. 

‘I hope the forum you are referring to is run better than Spankolife.  I was a member of this site and enjoyed the free facilities it offered.  When it first opened it was a great place to meet fellow spankos from around the world.

However, as time has passed, I have found more and more images on the site which depict children.  You can also tell from peoples profiles that they are not as they seem.  Spankolife sems to be a haven for people with an unhealthy interest in minors.  I did complain to the site moderator and some of the pictures were removed, however, it seemed like almost daily that these images were reposted and allowed to remain on site’

Now, as you know,  we at Spanking News would not just take one persons word for this.  So, we secretely joined the site to see what we could find.  Unfortunately it did not take long  for us to see that our readers concerns were more than justified. We were on the site for less than a day and found three members who had pictures which would be deemed illegal in the UK.  They were not actually photos but were computer generated graphics showing distressed children in various states of undress.  Other members had noted their disgust at these pictures being on display yet they still at the time of writing this, had not been removed.

Now, it takes a lot to shock us old boys, but shocked we were!  There is no doubt that the majority of the users of this site are  normal spankers like you and I but there is no disputing that there is an unsavourey element lurking and being allowed to hide amongst them.

Whether you agree or disagree, child spanking in the UK is illegal and pictures of such have no place on an adult spanking site.  I know some people participate in age play, but I am sure they would be the first to condemn these awful images.  No wonder  society labels us if we allow these sorts of people to hide amongst us.

We asked the owners of another Forum what they thought and they gave us the following quote.  “Each morning I go though every new photograph and picture added to ensure that it is something I am comfortable to have on my site.  Child pornography is   a  worrying aspect, I will be extra vigilant that these sorts of people are unable to infiltrate our site.

Lets hope that Spankolife cleans up its act before the authorities shut its doors, when it has done so we will be very pleased togive our favourable review of the site.

I was somewhat surprised today to see on a spanking forum that SOL Digital services Ltd, the owners of the SpankingOnline empire had gone into receivership!

I could not believe it so I did some checking and it is true!

One of the casualties of this has been the producers of the Strictly English spanking films who had a marketing deal with SOL Digital whereby SOL sold their films online via their SpankingVids.com web site. It seems that Strictly English were not paid for nearly a years sales!

The owner of Strictly English posted on the forum:

“A few months ago Spanking Online (who operate Spankingvids.com) told me they were going into liquidation, which would effectively wipe out any debts they had including what they owed to Strictly English (about a years worth of subscriptions to spankingvids.com).

I offered to work with their new set-up but I’ve never heard back from them again. I was about to serve them with a long overdue DMCA, but now I don’t need to as they have done the decent thing at last & taken the site down.

I’m sorry for all the fans of Strictly English who supported the spankingvids.com site but as none of the revenue was coming back to Strictly English the situation could not continue.”

I find what appears to be a cynical  defrauding of a fellow quality film producer a reprehensible act by SOL Digital. I only hope Strictly English can survive this financial meltdown.

What I would like to know is, how can what appears to be one of the largest spanking site empires get into such financial difficulties? How long did they know they were in trouble? Why if they are in receivership do their sites now say they are based in Denmark and are still trading? Are they going to honour their bad debts?

And finally, how can Dino and Peppe, the owners of Sol Digital, sleep at night after shafting Strictly English?

You would think, what with the expanding popularity of the spanking genre, that it would be easy for producers to find good locations to make spanking films in.

• The reputable companies pay well for good locations, usually in cash
• The film makers leave the property in the same condition as they find it.
• The owner of the property is usually invited to watch the film being made and even sometimes to participate in the film or film making process.

The requirements for a film location are usually:

• Reasonable sized rooms (15ft+ rooms)
• Good state of decoration and furnishing – if you have a period house all the better!
• Ideally not overlooked so that windows can have curtains open
• Not near a noisy road, factory or airport
• Not located where spanking sounds will disturb the neighbours
• Reasonably near to rail and motorway links for ease of travel for film crew and models.
• Adequate nearby parking for several cars – film equipment is heavy!

Yet despite these reasonable requirements, film makers seem to have a perennial problem finding new locations. It seems that there is  a marked shortage of suitable properties.

So, if anyone would like to hire their property out for a day (approx 9am-4pm) then this producer would love to hear from you!

You can contact me here

We have been looking around the sites and the spanking scenes on offer at the moment and are struck by the lack of variety and the distance there seems to be between the what the film makers present to us and what we do in our own spanking life and scene, OK we all love the school girl film and the naughty secretary; well that’s always a good standby. Why can’t we have some thought put into the scenarios though, it must be pretty damn boring for the girls and the film makers themselves to be always enacting the same few lines and scenes.

Why not look at a few of the scenarios used by real people. A feature of lots of peoples spanking play is the ‘roll play’ and the different scenarios this presents. This is where you can have some serious fun or some serious SERIOUS fun. Maybe you like a laugh with your spanking, OK this can be the way to inject a smile and to keep the session light, nice when meeting someone for the first time or trying out your little kink on someone who may or may not share your views on spanking or being the subject of a spanking. Better through a nice roll play situation than throwing them over the arm of a chair and beating their bum till they say either ‘wow that was great’ or call for the cops and have you carted off to the pokey.

There are some things we don’t want to see on film or depicted on web sites. You have to draw a line in the roll play sand I think, the rape fantasy and the kidnap with violence scene, which I have seen discussed on some of the blogs, is where I draw my line.  Some sad person out there might get the idea that this is acceptable behaviour and can be applied to all the ladies he may meet, no better left alone I think.

OK someone is going to say what about the schoolgirl scene, mature ladies dressed as schoolgirls? Well that’s just it, they are mature ladies and they do dress up, they do not say they are young girls and available, they are play acting and make it clear that they are play acting. With the rape and kidnap fantasy the whole object is that it is supposed to be a real as possible and to look as uncontrived as possible.

When it comes to story lines and costumes then some of the Eastern European sites do have a big lead over the British produced material, I am not sure I like everything I see from these companies but I do like the fact that they put thought into costumes and storylines and indeed locations. It is a fact that they are able through legislation in different countries to go to those places where it is not possible for the British producer to go. Our thought, moral and behaviour police will be after you before the first DVD has stopped spinning, when will the British public at large say enough is enough get out of my bedroom, playroom, and dungeon?

 No we have to ask that you Mr. Producer find somewhere in the middle and come up with good stories and locations. We have the very best spanking models in the world in the UK and I for one want to see them in good stories, acting out good lines and making me believe the whole thing is happening just for me and not to some tired and wilting formula. Do I have an example of the sort of thing, yes I do and it comes from one of the newer web sites. I have borrowed these clips from Spanking Sarah and it shows just one part of the full story. It is based around a girl who goes out on the streets, has sex with a stranger for money, goes to a religious looking disciplinarian for forgiveness and finds that the way to absolution is long and painful. The story has the locations, the costumes the application of thought in the production and editing and all these bring out the best in the excellent actors. More of the same PLEASE.

Social networking seems to be all the rage at the moment, face book seems the most popular but there are loads of other vanilla sites where you can post all your personal and intimate details and hope to meet like minded people or at least to have some interaction with them.

There are a number of sites associated with the fetish scene and a new one has just come on line primarily aimed at all of us with the wider fetish community, not just the spanking lovers. The World Fetish Forum is still in the early stages and design work is still ongoing but this can be a good time to join the community, make yourself known and as an early member get more uploading space for yourself. As with all such sites this is a free experience, too few of those I say!

We have to acknowledge that there is now more of a cross over between spanking, CP, S&M Bondage and some of the more esoteric kinks, witness the rise of the sex and spanking sites mentioned in previous articles. That it’s a good thing can’t be argued, it is always good to meet new people and get a new slant on something we all love, maybe in chatting to others we do decide to try out new things, to widen our experiences and to maybe help us in meeting new people.

Whatever our motives for joining such sites, it can be as basic as just going to look at the pictures or the videos, I for one have seen some real eye openers since I began surfing these sites. Anyway, take a look at the http://www.worldfetishforum/ you do have to join to see inside but as I say its free and it is a good way to meet others who like just what you like, oh, they have a great live chat facility as well.

A very interesting article today on the Spanking Sarah  blog, it is good to see that there is life out there inside some of the organisations making spanking films. I for one have gotten pretty tired of the same old thing churned out by the bigger companies, the same story lines, the same school room settings, the same ‘uncle spanks naughty girl’ scenes, it can all seem a little bit the same.

When someone tries to get away from that it has to be applauded, let me take this from Sarah’s site “It is the whole ethos of this site that we do not get too bogged down in just one aspect of the spanking and CP scene, there are loads of things, closely allied to the dearest love in our lives namely botty spanking, that should and will be explored. What this will demonstrate is that within her site Sarah hopes to give pleasure to as wider audience as possible whilst doing just the things that she really likes to do. Her reasoning is that if she likes all these diverse things then there must be others out there who like them also. There are those who have said to her that she should just stick to spanking and CP films, that as far as they are concerned is all there is out there and that’s as far as it should go and no further. Some have refused to link to this blog whilst openly espousing things like rape fantasy and forced sex and discipline.  Well we all know that Sarah does not agree with this, that’s why, when a part of the story, we do not shy away from sex scenes or whatever it takes to tell the story but making absolutely sure at every stage that it is wholly consensual and only based around story lines that will not cause distress to some.”

I wholly echo this view and am always pleased to see a widening of the possibilities, as long as within the spanking site there is a fair amount of spanking and with the site in question no one can argue against that, then it is good to see that there is more to the genre than the hackneyed old scenes.

BDSM and dungeons will not be for everyone in the spanking scene that is clear but I think it matters how the scene is tackled, if it does not go too far towards the more restrictive side of the scene and concentrates on the CP and spanking then that for me is an added bonus in joining this web site. With the technology now giving us near High Def films on the internet, and certainly with some sites editing and production methods that can match main stream production we have the right to expect a better class of product and we also expect to see some of the boundaries pushed back a bit. All power to your right arm.

We all love to get something for nothing but where do you draw the line? Do you have pirated copies of software programs, Windows, Photoshop, games? Yes I guess that most of us have something that we have not purchased from the copyright owner or have ripped off from a web site.

Just at the moment there are a plethora of sites out there packed with spanking films and porno films pirated from the member’s areas of some of our best known web sites. There are other sites who just host the links to material which is then placed on so called FREE servers such as send space or rapid share.  It seems that the pirates think it is open day on other people’s property and when questioned about it think that because they are hiding there grubby little activities behind so called anonymous e-mail addresses and proxy servers no one can take them to task on it.

Well, we have news for them; certain companies’ are now trialling a piece of very clever software that puts unbreakable hidden code into movie downloads. The object is to go after the pirate, the one who originally downloaded the material. This code tells the copyright owner exactly who downloaded the material and therefore who has breached the copyright. As the designers say “By using advanced steganographic techniques our download management software encrypts in real-time, using a client-unique key, within the wmv or RealMedia® video file the membership username, the date, time and IP address of the downloader. With this information the originating site owner can identify the person responsible for releasing their film into the ‘wild’.

Our advanced steganography system imprints in every frame of your film the encrypted username and download date/time information. Our systems can still retrieve this information even if the film has been converted between various film formats (wmv-avi, wmv-mpeg, wmv- rm etc.) and in many cases even a single frame-grab, in several formats, is sufficient for us to retrieve the information you need.

At the moment these companies prefer to remain anonymous until they have had their first successful prosecutions for copyright theft and breach of contract. ‘Breach of contract’ you ask, well yes indeed, when you pay your money to join a web site and agree to the terms and conditions it will be part of those terms and conditions that you do not distribute the material or share it with others and that you do not use it on any free sites, this you agree to when taking on your membership. We have it on good authority that certain individuals who make a habit of this will be getting delivered to their home address rather large invoices for the illegal use and distribution of copyrighted material. It then becomes a simple case; they either pay the invoice or have to defend their actions in their local court. How many porno pirates will want to do this?

As far as the web site owners are concerned it is easier for them to prove breach of contract in almost every country than to challenge the copyright laws in some of the obscure countries that the servers used by these pirate sites are located. The penalties are also higher.

Is this the beginning of the end for web pirates? We don’t think so but maybe when the trials of this software are complete their demise will be a little closer.

It seems to be a bit slow in the spanking news office this week so I have published a blog entry from Redstripe Films. Sandy seems to have got the situation well worked out and seems to be giving her members just what they want. Anyway, thanks for letting us use this Sandy.

This week I have another real life situation for you. Not only that but another mature lady being punished the way she wants to be. As always I do try to feature those ladies who really want to experience spanking and discipline and film them for the very first time. I think and I know that loads of you agree with me that this is better than the pouting so called models out there who bend over just for the money. When a woman is being punished because she wants to be you just know that this is the way it should be and that this is the way she wants it. Let’s face it, many of the ladies on my site would not do this no matter how much money they were offered if they did not want to do it. For most this is a real life situation where at last they can live out that fantasy most have had since their very earliest years.
It took me a lot of time to realise that I wanted to be spanked, now I have progressed even further than that, I would love to have my breasts punished, I like to be lightly whipped between the legs and I just love it when I get pushed that bit harder each time I bend over for the strap or for the cane. Unfortunately because of the stupid laws in this nanny state we live in I can’t show many of the things I would genuinely like to do, it is once again a case of a controlling government getting into our bedrooms and telling us, yes us, mature ladies what we can and can’t do with our husbands, boyfriends or who ever we chose. I would have thought these people had enough to do messing up the country but maybe I am wrong, what do you think?

 Now to Collette, she is a big girl, make no mistake about that but feels the need to be disciplined and punished. Having first got into being spanked when she met her husband she progressed into accepting the need for regular discipline. I suspect that Collette would say that she is naughty more times so that she gets punished. She took her courage in both hands and gave this very revealing interview, telling us how she became interested in spanking and why she thought that she needed to progress from the punishments her husband gave to her. During this film you will see Collette spanked, whipped paddled and caned on her large but very firm bottom, you will see that she did indeed take a very hard, prolonged and good punishment. If any other wife feels the need please get in touch with me. If you want to see the free film clip then please go here.

Has anyone noticed the proliferation of spanking blogs? This seems to be the new way of communicating within the spanking community. Everyone who has the slightest idea of how to operate at even the most basic level should be able to find out there some blog software that gives them all the facilities they want and which they can master.

So what is the result of all this enthusiasm to get out there and be seen? As you might expect and as has become common place on the internet there is a load of dross, even it has to be said, mindless dross. So how do you find a good spanking blog, where do you look? It’s not easy; yes you can Google spanking blogs and you will get around 2,000000 replies but take it from a seasoned blogger the great majority of these are just not worth the effort and many of them will just be an insult to your intelligence.
There will be others which it is obvious have only been updated on a very occasional basis, yes I know you can say that of this news site but if you don’t give us the news we are not going out there to find it unless it is really interesting and something we can’t miss. We are a non profit making side line for a few mad spankos.

Another way maybe to find a good spanking blog you like and follow the links from there. One I like is Sexy Spanking; I like this because it is a personality blog, run by the young lady herself and not by or on behalf of some huge marketing machine. She has taken the time to look at loads of blogs from all over the world and has created some interesting links. Take the time to follow some, and you will soon find something that appeals to you.
Once you find some interesting blogs then follow the links from these and hey presto you are now in the spanking blogosphere and may the gods of all spankers look down on and guide you through the mass of material available to you. Another blog you may like to take a look at is The Cherry Red Report  Run by a US based spank lover called Dave you will always find new and interesting material, some a little quirky but always well illustrated and relevant.
A favourite of our office slave is  The Spanking Spot and we have to say we do agree with her, interesting and run by a guy who so obviously loves spanking and all associated with it. A real good feeling comes out of this blog, we need more like this.

Anyway, that’s just a starter pack of some good blogs, you will notice as you go around that some of the blogs have sadly become little more than adverts for the larger spanking companies, everything you click on will take you to a pay site, well that’s understandable, everyone needs to earn a little extra these days. One we like is Best British Spanking so if you like the look of what’s on offer and if you want to support a good blog the click a few links, you may find something you like and don’t mind spending a few hard earned pence on.

A little note in this morning from Sandy at redstripe films. Why has she not been featured lately, well the answer is easy, you have to contact us Sandy. Now that you have done we have been and had a good look at the recent up dates and have to say that you are certainly doing very well with the site. The last few updates have featured a really good mix of films with some top line mature ladies being well disciplined. My own favourite was housewife Annie, you should try to get some more films with her, she took just the most amazing caning from her husband that we have seen in a long while. The double caning session with the ladies in what looked like an up market hotel was also a big turn on and so it goes. As we say, give us the news and we will put it here, we get over 10,000 hits a day now and so why not take the time to contact us. That goes for all spanking fans and web masters.

“SEXY property guru Kirstie Allsopp’s new telly cottage is whipping up a Sensation, Sensation, Sensation“.Nice to see that the News Of The World is still exhibiting its old public spirited side and giving advertising to the deserving members of the sex and fetish community.

 The object of this weeks bit of advertorial may have been “Kirstie Allsopp  37 – voted one of the world’s sexiest women”  but it can’t be doing any damage to the activities of the lovely Ms Demmie either.

 It turns out that cheeky Kirsti has brought a cottage to quote the NOW “cheek by jowl with a kinky S&M DUNGEON where guests enjoy a bit of Flagellation, Flagellation, Flagellation”. The article goes on “the nearest property to her £300,000 house is a sex retreat run by a mistress called Ms Demmie, who specialises in female domination using needles, wax and canes”. “Strawberry Water has been an S&M retreat for ten years and is well known in the nearby village of Welcombe”.

Ms Demmie, 51, told us: “If the Tesco man stops in the village and asks directions for a delivery, locals will say ‘Oh, you mean the whips and chains place”? One villager told the NOW: “Everyone in the area knows there’s an S&M retreat. It’s been known to us in the village for many years, and the butt of many jokes, as it were.

 A worker at Helpful Holidays, which handles the lettings for Kirstie, said: “The amount of interest we’ve had in it so far is phenomenal – and that is only going to increase with the TV programme.” Let’s just hope that this bit of free advertising from the NOW does the same for Ms. Demmi but maybe she is not in such dire need, our editor wanted to revisit and was told he could not get booked in before the end of June. For those who want to book.

Sound Punishment announced today that their new film starring Irish newcomer Caroline Grey “Caroline Grey gets a 1950′s punishment” was filmned on HDV camera equipment and that all new films will now be in high-resolution wide-screen format.

This enhancement in quality will be welcomed by fans of this English spanking film site. The producers also revealed that they have some hot spanking films with brand-new model waiting in the wings

News from Spanking Sarah. Having only just started in the spanking scene this amazing lady has just made her first foray to a fully equipped dungeon. We understand that the films are not out at the moment but we do have some idea of what is going on from the very busy blog Sarah runs.
The dungeon was The Edge run by that lovely and very well respected Lady in the spanking scene Ms. Demie. Said Sarah, “Ms.Demmie made me so welcome at her beautiful dungeon, she is an amazing lady who lives her lifestyle 24/7, something I wish I could do. While there we made some films with the help of Master Raven, I would like to say he was a real gent but he did give me quite a working over, not only my bottom! Can’t wait to meet him again”.
Never having been in a dungeon before must have come as something of a shock, said Sarah “We were let down on our usual location, it is so hard to find places to shoot and then just at the last moment Ms. Demmie contacted us and said we could use her lovely place and I have to say we had just the most amazing time there. I experienced loads of new sensations and if any other lady out here is wandering just what it’s like to be given the dungeon treatment just get in touch with me and I will give you the lowdown”.

The films are promised for quick release on the web site so keep your eyes open for them but there are loads of other things happening on the site all the time so go take a look at the FREE FILMS
