Hat tip to Hermione for pointing us to this article from the Globe and Mail (Canada):
Spank me, but don’t tell my boss
When Colin Wightman was informed by the RCMP last June that he was the subject of a sexual assault investigation, he was forced to make two very uncomfortable phone calls.
Upon leaving the police station where he had described a “consensual one-time fantasy encounter” involving bondage and a woman he met on an Internet dating site, he called his wife and asked if he was allowed to come home.
The other phone call was to his employers at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., where he had worked for a year as a tenured professor and the director of the school of computer science.
“It was a very difficult phone call to make,” he said this week. “The only phone call that was more difficult was the one I made to my wife.”
More than a year after disclosing his affair to his family and employer, and almost 12 months after he was informed by the RCMP that they would not press charges, 48-year-old Dr. Wightman is still married, although the father of two is receiving counselling.
Things have not worked out so well with his job.
Last September, he was fired by Acadia in light of his “aberrant behaviour.” …

There has been an age old debate in BDSM circles, and therefore by definition in spanking circles, whether the best Tops previously bottomed. Mistress Matisse, a Seattle writer and Pro Domme, posted a piece on this in her blog back in May 2008. Today, she reposted it as part of a “Best of Mistress Matisse” article. The following sums up Matisse’s position, but I urge you to link here to read all of the post. As with all of her work, it’s well thought out, balanced, and worth considering.
… I have an opinion about that, too: don’t do anything you don’t want to do. If you don’t wish to bottom, then don’t.
It is a rather old-school BDSM belief that all good tops spent time bottoming - I was certainly taught that when I came into the scene. But I have seen that idea fade quite a bit from the culture, so I’m a trifle surprised that you’ve encountered it. …

It’s been some time since we posted anything new on the All Things Spanking Techniques & Commentary page. Recently, we viewed several articles posted at The Chicago Spanking Review that addressed a number of spanking issues. We thought this was both good background material for new spankers to read and a solid reminder for experienced spankers. The articles are linked below and on our Techniques & Commentary page.

Over the weekend, I have become aware of four blogs to which I previously linked that have apparently ceased to publish. I have removed all four dead links from my roll. Each disappeared from the internet quite suddenly, and each was a Blogger/Blogspot-based site. The following message was posted by Blogger when inputting the respective blogs’ URLs. I wonder if this is just a random and circumstantial case of bloggers deciding to hang it up, or if the “powers to be” are routinely deleting sites? Can anyone shed light on this?
Blog has been removed
Sorry, the blog at XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX has been removed. This address is not available for new blogs.

Around the world, many events are offered that encompass the full range of BDSM incuding spanking, and they certainly are worthwhile endeavors. However, since the focus of this blog is spanking, I have added a sub-section to the Real-Life Spanking Opportunities page to list special events that are spanking oriented. This is not intended to be a listing of groups that have spanking munches, parties, or socials. Those would be covered by other listings on the page. Rather, the listings in this sub-category are longer events (e.g., weekends), or special events (e.g., a club holding a special spanking seminar).
Real-Life Spanking Opprtunities has long been one of the most viewed areas of this blog. I hope that this addition will make it even more useful and valuable to readers. If you know of any events that should be included, please let me know. All Things Spanking is an equal opportunity spanking purveyor.

As one commentor says: “Spank that Barbie, spank IT GOOD!!!!“ From The Sun (UK):
Barbie’s new S&M look has whipped up a storm – with protesters dubbing it “filth”.
The doll’s image is transformed with kinky fishnets, motorcycle jacket, black gloves and boots.
Makers Mattel say Black Canary Barbie, out in September, is based on a DC comic superhero of the same name.
But religious group Christian Voice said: “Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far.
A children’s doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible – it’s filth.”
