Is spanking gradually disappearing,and also are mistresses getting younger,what has happened to the well built more mature mistress as they seem to be collectors items
Spankos seem to have distanced themselves a bit from general BDSM but there are plenty of spanking centered groups still out there.
Ms. Betty A well built more mature Domme who does not like the term Mistress and thinks the age shift is because more information is now available to more people earlier in life.
I'm not a switch, but I can promise you that spanking and paddling are alive and well. We have a guy at our munch group who can take every bit of spanking/paddling that a person can dish out. My right arm is on the sore side this morning.
In the past few years ... seems like spanking is not considered all that far "out there". Not that it is mainstream .... but studies have shown that approximately 10 to 15 percent of people are OK with the idea - or curious - even if they never have participated in it.
Chicago: Crimson Moon is alive and well. St Louis has Beat Me in SL in the springtime, there used to be a huge spanking contingent there. Here in Detroit, the dregs of the spanko groups are run by the chest thumping creepy old guys.
Hibbie: Actually, I heard that Crimson Moons is shutting down soon. And add Scarlet Moons in Denver to your list, as well as Shadow Lane in So Cal, and Tampa Tanners in Florida.
Shutting down? Cripes I was at their very first party... but running a group is a big job, and even if someone takes over for the original folks, sometimes they change things in a way that isn't conducive to adding new people. That's what happened here.
