As a lifelong spanko, there are all those words that make me blush and cringe slightly, those that to the non-kink world, are totally neutral, normal words. I live in a football town and I occasionally hear that one team “spanked” the other team. Eugh. Punish, corner, discipline.. and also, cane, brush, wooden spoon, hairbrush, bathbrush. Whoof. Hairbrush seems most provocative to me – she was hairbrushed, get me my hairbrush, you’re getting a hairbrushing today – a most femininely threatening word.
I recently discovered this cartoon by an artist named Circe:
I can imagine that being lightly “brushed” and then spanked soundly on that top of that would be maddeningly painful. But I suppose the reverse order would be just as bad. (The panic in the girl’s eyes after her mother says “Maybe some bristle side will help you to think.” looks so genuine, as if she knows how bad it’s going to be and can’t do anything about it, all the while regretting everything she’s ever done to end up in this position!)
I dream of a tough lady taking me over her knee and give me a “hairbrushing.” I imagine so many of us do 😉
I have tested several hairbrushes on myself (of course) in the course of owning several different kinds and now give my personal rundown of each:
- Conair Paddle brushes
This kind with the plastic backs, usually a soft gel handle, round or paddle shaped, these have a thuddy noise and feel to them (I guess the in between air between brushes and plastic part) so the sound is way worse than what it actually feels like, which is lightly stingy. With enough smacks, it would build up slowly to real sting, but the loud noise is simply distracting.
2. Conair Silicone brushes
These are the answer to those weak fake plastic brushes (is “fake plastic” an oxymoron?) – the solid plastic/silicone? detangling brush! It’s sturdier (to get out those deep tangles) and as loud as this one can be also, it delivers a sound sting from the beginning. I imagine that if I wasn’t in control of my own brush as I was experimenting, I would hope that this one was reserved for the worst punishments because it hurt pretty badly – especially on the back of the thighs or sit spots. OUCH.
3. Wooden/Bamboo brushes
Booo. How can something so simple be so hard to perfect? The common wooden hairbrushes I see a lot these days are those multi-toned bamboo or “natural” wood kinds. I guess they don’t make them like they used to (supposedly, during those days when ladies were regularly spanked with a hairbrush by their mothers? I still can’t really picture this for real :p), because I have broken several of these spanking myself lol. And I don’t think I even did it that hard… in any case, these brushes are not really trustworthy enough to deliver a proper punishment. Admittedly, the sting was stingy while the wood lasted.
4. Styling hairbrush
These narrow kinds function more like a slim bathbrush, or a thick cane, I suppose, and definitely hurt a lot, but a bit tiring to swing, if that makes sense. Lots of little motions needed to achieve a deep sting – but still pretty effective.
5. The Hairbrush of my Dreams
This style of wooden hairbrush, usually boar bristle/nylon type, is on my wish list to try, and I am sure that it would be my “favorite” as it looks to function basically as a small bath brush. It has a rounded, womanly head, it’s wooden and solid, it looks kind of retro in a way with the rough bristles, and it’s small enough to be carried around. I don’t need a brush like this for my hair, so I’ve never bought it!
I’m still not sure how much I can “take” since I’ve never been spanked by a real spanko, but I am pretty sure a punishment hairbrushing – plastic or wooden, all over the bottom, including the backs of thighs – would make me beg for mercy, in a real “I really, really don’t ever want to do that ever again” sort of way. Still in search for my mama-mistress-F/f woman of my dreams 🙂
