Ah yes. I remember a couple of years ago they did a great purge of fake accounts and tweaked the way they did some things to try and prevent it from becoming such a large problem again. It was probably part of that. There for a while they were doing new members by invitation only, with each verified member being given X number of invites to send out. I actually think I may still have those unused invitations on my dashboard, although I don't know what the difference would be between someone accepting an invitation from me to set up a profile and just going on there and setting up their own pro

I can understand that. It is definitely more multifaceted than a site that deals only in spanking and it is a lot of information about a lot of things. Personally, I've been on there for so much for so long that I've gotten used to it I guess.

I agree. Reddit can be a good resource, too.

I started my Fetlife account about nine years ago. I don't remember them asking for my phone number back then so that may be a new thing. Regardless, for what it's worth neither I nor anyone I know has had any security issues with the site.

Hey. Welcome. I'm not always on here a whole lot but you're welcome to shoot me a message if you'd like. To the best of my knowledge, I am real. In the immortal words of George Carlin, "I think, therefore I am...I think."

Fetlife has an abundance of spanking interest groups.

Kind of depends on the situation. Sometimes the goal can be crying. Sometimes it's to go further. I usually check in on them periodically anyways unless we've specifically negotiated otherwise, but seeing them start crying is an especially good time to check in.

I agree. Forced, contrived scolding is kind of a wet blanket for me personally. It's like bad porn dialogue or something. That said, if it's organic, if it "feels right" at the time, yeah it can be great.

Entirety possible at one time or another at different apartments I've lived in but if they did they never said anything.

Might be a little difficult to do considering the distance between some of us geographically but a virtual munch over Zoom or Tinychat might not be out of the question.

I've been part of a group hosting munches for eight years and I've attended a lot of other ones as well. They've been shelved temporarily due to the pandemic but I've had great times at munches, personally.

Yeah, tremendously. It's really thrown a wrench in my social life (which is to say my spanking life).

I've never encountered someone's butt going numb but if it starts to happen one could always take that opportunity to give the spankee some corner time to get some sensation back.

One can do it hard and fast but like just about any other implement you can use it in different ways. If you're looking for more of a genuine punishment style spanking then a hard, fast spanking on the "sit spot" is a good way to go.

Good point. I suppose that's an assumed risk one has to take into consideration when deciding what to do where.
