Spanking and privacy

Around this time of year the spanking blogs tend to be filled with forlorn comments like 'we're off to _____'s parents' house in the morning, so no play until next weekend'. Those of us who don't live on our own in spanking-friendly domestic situations for the rest of the year might be forgiven a wry smile at those for whom a week without perfect spanking privacy is a privation of epic proportions.


To restore a little festive cheer I thought I might try to assemble some thoughts on how I've managed this particular problem in the past.


The biggest problem is probably that if you are not with a fairly serious-minded co-enthusiast you may be limited to using your hand, which is definitely the noisiest of methods. In this case, the only possibility - if waiting for an empty flat/house is not an option - is underscoring your spanking with loud music. Rhythmic smacks in time with the beat can be used to mask the sound with good effect, though you have to know the music well enough to foresee any irregularities in the song accompaniment.

This is the safest way of making sure you can't be heard, in my experience, but it does rather invade the atmosphere, so you want to be sure that the volume level is as low as peace of mind will permit. Using a quieter mode of punishment can be helpful, though of course if it is also a harsher one, you may also need to think about a gag for the spankee to prevent embarrassing yelps. Do be careful with this and read up on how to do it safely. As for quieter methods, I reckon the ideal for this is a wooden hairbrush; leather belts/straps can also be wielded relatively noiselessly, though at some cost to their effectiveness.

The one other problem with using music is that as well as hiding the sounds within the room, it makes it hard for those inside to hear sounds from without, so you can't necessarily tell if people are walking around outside (or, possibly, even if they are knocking).

Sadly, the only really satisfactory way to spank in private is to do it in an empty place with no neighbours. One day...

I've always found that a nice thin cane is the quietest of all implements in such circumstances :-)

I tend to find it's not just friends' or family homes, but hotels too where this problem presents itself. Then again, I'm a little blase in hotels, and pretty much all of our friends are kinky and probably joining in at the time!
