Thanks very much @batjamboree for the descriptions of your various spanking exploits. Extremely enjoyable reading about the dressing up and role playing, the teasing and humiliation scenarios, the invention of reasons to inflict punishment, the variety of implements used and, of course, the all important requirement for the spanked to express thanks for receiving the punishment.
For me, being single and for the purposes of this topic, I enjoy some self spanking and much of what you describe features in my various fantasies when doing so. We must all get our pleasures where we can and long may we continue to do so!
