T is for Teaching Moment

When spankings are safe, sane and consensual, they are tremendous fun.   Even some non-spankos give a nod in our direction when they let themselves go.

But when they are not, they can be abusive, nasty and/or unpleasant.  Even for the most ardent devotee of the profession.

One of my Second Life acquaintances told me of a real life experience when it turned out that her partner was a dyed in the wool sadist, and not only took her to the limits of her safe word, continued on long after reaching that line.   Sadists don't seem to care about anything except the own personal gratification, so do take care your potential partner is not an out and out sadist - unless, of course, you wish to explore the darkest recesses of your partner's mind.

Now, I could give you a lecture on safe practices, but, as it happens, I once wrote a short story that spells it all out in a most excellent manner (advt.)   So here is A Teaching Moment: a tale I hope that will amuse, erudite and perhaps even edify you.
