I can't imagine being in a relationship with someone who wanted to practice domestic discipline.

Okay, well, I could, but that would be one short and hilarious relationship.

Unfortunately, I've met many women around here who would find it just and meet for their husband to physically punish them "if he had a good reason."

Thrive to spite them

There's a FAQ section for men that says

Isn't spanking just for kinky play ?

No, it is a great form of behavior modification and attitude adjustment.

I'd say it's definitely about having an excuse to beat your wife.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yet another COMM-ic.

shrift, I imagine that relationship could be "two people enter, one comes out"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Awesome news: I just finished paying off a student loan! OK, it was the oldest and smallest, but still! I called to see what my balance was, and it was $81! I kept saying, "No, I mean the whole loan balance." Yep -- eighty one bucks. Sweet! Now to deal with the remaining tens of thousands of dollars I still owe...

Art Crawl!!!

Woo hoo Jesse!

My teeny tiny financial milestone is that I've finally paid the overlimit amount on the credit card that I was overlimit on and collecting overlimit fees like crazy. I hope that this means that I can pay the damn bill off sooner.

Yeah, anyone who thinks that he can adjust my attitude by hitting me has missed a few salient details about my personality, by which I mean, "I hope you weren't too attached to your balls, honey!"

This is oversharing, so I'm going to whitefont it and hope that my Mom isn't a lurker: There's a whole endorphin thing that happens with a good spanking, or flogging -- in fact, a Russian study proved that a good beating alleviates despression (no, really!) -- and when I'm in a pissy, cranky mood, sometimes the only thing that gets me out of it is a good flogging. Of course, the MASSIVE difference between me and the crazy spanky Christians is that I asked for it, and it's not doled out as a "corrective" measure for my transgressions.
