Leaving Las Vegas, 2025 – a Party Report – Part 1

Note: this post will have photos! both vanilla and spanking photos – so read after the jump at your own risk and ideally not in public! also, I know I have a bunch of blog comments I haven’t responded to – I do plan to, so sorry about that!

It used to be a common occurrence, back in the heyday of spanko blogging and even as far back as the usenet newsgroups, for folks attending parties (primarily Shadow Lane back then but then later also Florida Moonshine, Chicago Crimson Moon, Boardwalk Badness in AC, etc) to write “party reports” to tell the stories of the weekend, talk about play and socializing, and generally share their experiences. Some of this still takes place ad-hoc on Fetlife, but with less blogs around, there is less of this in the specific way it used to be. When I started writing this, I was tucked into the bed in my room, overlooking the pool here at the Plaza Hotel & Casino. There is a small loveseat style couch, a small dresser (truly too small, to be honest), and a desk. The room is very spacious, though the bathroom is oddly small, and the closet is part of the open sink area instead of a closed space. The toilet & tub share a room that is nearly impossible to navigate closing a door in without stepping into the tub. It’s been a nice space to spend 6 days though. Especially compared to last year – I’ll write about some of the positive memories from last year, after I post this years.

My First Time

I have touched on this a bit in previous posts, I think, but I’d like to expand on it. I knew from an early age that I was a spanko, which isn’t terrible uncommon, but what is uncommon, is how I simply knew I had to find others and do this. When I was 12 (cough), I searched whatever website was available at the time (Ask Jeeves and Amazon both had search engines back then, google did not exist – this was the summer of 2001) for the term “spanking” and was quickly transported to the world born out of the ASS/SSS Usenet groups, Laura’s Spanking Corner, Wintermute’s Site, stories by SamPast, and dozens of others. I knew then, that I wasn’t alone, and this is a unique experience. Knowing so early that there were others like me, that they were doing this, living life with this as a part of theirs, and more important: functioning, happy, actual adults! This blew my mind and gave me hope.

There were two songs that defined my teen years, in terms of yearning for spanking to be part of my life. The Beach Boys “Wouldn’t It be Nice” was the anthem for my first teen spanko crush, a boy my age I stumbled upon on a role-play forum where neither of us should have been. I was 14 and he was 13 when we started chatting. Our parents knew, just not how we met (they thought an online game). He went by Mr. Lloyd back then. It was young love and hope, and I didn’t think I’d ever meet someone else my age into spanking, so the words from The Beach Boys song, Wouldn′t it be nice if we were older? / Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long / And wouldn′t it be nice to live together / In the kind of world where we belong?, brought me comfort then. Because truly, wouldn’t it have been nice? Plenty of teens get to explore their sexuality with their peers before they’re legal adults, and I felt so isolated from that. I finally got to meet him in September 2024, the last of my online friends from back then, I finally met.

Lucky me, I didn’t have to wait long after trying to get my HS boyfriend to spank me at 15 (“You mean like…a birthday spanking?” he asked, confused, “Yeah, sure, my half birthday is next week…” I responded, equally as confused why he didn’t get it). When I was 16, I met another young person online – this one was a bit older – 19, 20 maybe? and lived in the UK. We’ll call him A. A was working but had some time off to use, so he booked a trip to the US. This boggled my American mind, that a young person would just travel to another country for anything, alone. Yes, he was older than me and I was 16, but I had an older brother so I was used to hanging around and dating people in this age range – also, this wasn’t so weird back in 2005. He stayed at a campground near my house, that we had a pool membership at, so we could claim we met there. He booked the campsite next to one that belonged to a close friends family, and she knew why we were meeting, so in my defense – I did try to go about this as safely and sanely as possible (which was not always the case – I met others at 17 that I absolutely should not have).

Our plan on how we met, worked, and my mom absolutely loved him. She was completely smitten with the young Brit who “randomly” chose an obscure and tiny NJ town for his vacation. She loved him so much, she invited him to stay at our house for his second week, to save money on the cabin he booked. For my part, I finally got to experience spanking from someone equally as curious, interested, and importantly, new to it. We figured it out together. So on June 21, 2005, I got my first spanko spanking. It wasn’t about sex, I didn’t have to beg or explain myself to him. He just got it. He was like me.

I was, of course, obsessed with wood hairbrushes even then and I believe he brought one in this case (but not ebony). My first “taste” of it absolutely shocked me. I could not believe how much it hurt when not used by myself. I flew off his lap, quickly slipped the brush into a robe pocket in the closet, and hid behind it. He wasn’t a brute, we talked about it, but he did continue to use it. I believe I also got to feel a belt spanking during this adventure. I had tiny speckled bruises all over my bottom and told my mom/friends that I slid on the gravel on the road walking between the pool and campsite (this had actually happened before so was easily believable).

I loved him. I loved him for his affection, his curiosity, his willingness to talk to me and learn with me. He was safe and incredibly respectful and we’ve kept in touch. He’s now married to a lovely gal who looks very sweet and although I don’t think spanking is part of his life anymore, I am grateful for those weeks we had together. We recently got to reminisce about that first time. So many people I know had really unpleasant or even traumatizing experiences for their first “proper” spanking and although I had a few negative experiences later, I was very lucky that my first was so positive. I will always be glad A and I stumbled upon each other in a chat room one night and he impulsively decided to visit. I am grateful to my friend Katie for seeing me and how important it was, and helping me stay safe.

Edited to Add on 7/22: I spoke with A after he read my post, and his memory is a LOT stronger than mine, but it all jogged my own memory. I am not going to edit the post, but I’ll add the changes here. For a start, he never used a belt, I didn’t want him to. I really thought he had, but it must have been someone else later. We almost got caught, ha! The hairbrush (which he has photos of!) was actually a wood handle with a plastic head, which explains why it stung so much. I now remember the hairbrush well after seeing the photo. He spanked me every single day he was here – that I remembered.

Perhaps I’ll share about the not-so-great experiences I had, another time, but for now, it’s nice to reminisce about the first and how lovely and sweet it was.

R/L: When punishment is earned

I’ve written in the past about how spanking works between my husband and I and how we connect, how we are working on connecting, etc. We don’t have a domestic discipline relationship of course, but I’ve been making a better effort in communication and he’s been making a ton of effort to hear me and see me and try to meet those discipline needs in ways that work for him also. This has meant a lot of play-play, and what most would call maintenance spankings. But on Saturday night, he caught me off guard – in the best way, and I got a spanking that left me feeling truly punished and chastised. Saturday was rough y’all. I was an emotional mess. I volunteered to drive 2.5 hours (each way) to help out a friend and it was the best decision because it kept me off my phone and occupied for a while. More past the jump and there’s NSFW photos in this post.
