We all have a role to play

Vanillas often wonder why spankos sometimes go to - in their words - laughable lengths by taking part in elaborate role play, as part of their spanking activities.   Two consenting adults - right? - so why not just let the whacking begin?

First, role play allows a ritual to be introduced into a session that adds to it something extra to simply grabbing a partner and whacking away indiscriminately.   By way of example, if your ideal spanking includes scolding before and during, and corner time afterwards - unless into some very serious domestic discipline arrangement - both parties need to play some sort of role where such activity is expected, tolerated and, at some level, satisfy an internal need.

Second, it is very easy in role play to take on the pretense that the person getting the spanking does not wish to be spanked.   We all want to think, at times, the person being spanked would prefer to be elsewhere other than on the receiving end of a good hiding,   So, when husband and wife play the roles of schoolmaster and schoolgirl, it is not (necessarily) to pretend that the wife has returned to virginal purity, but that when she gets punished, she is a most unwilling victim.

Third, role play allows us to explore and revel in experiences out of our normal everyday routines, and even out of our own lifetimes.   Imagining what it might have been like if in a prior life you had been a warder at Bridewell, and really had to deal with prisoners in a formal and brutal way when they broke prison regulations - well, unless you try it, by role playing, you will never know.

And finally - and possibly the most important reason - role play can set up a situation where there is gong to be a spanking purely for the spanking's sake,  And nothing else.   If a wife is playing the role of a school girl, for her teacher to indulge in sexual activity afterwards - as her teacher - would be beyond the bounds of the role play in an all usual circumstances.    Other than in more racy erotica, any school teacher who had sex with a student would do so at extreme peril for their continued liberty - and if nothing else, that background nag would probably take all the enjoyment out of the affair,.

Four very valid reasons for role playing - but each one guaranteed to make the average vanilla shake their head is amused disbelief.   Still, one of the sure fire ways to recruit a vanilla to our ranks is to get them to first take part in a role play session.   But we shall leave that notion for a future post.
