I wanted to let you know how beautiful you looked and why I dont look like that after a spanking? I look like what my grandmother would call "what the cat dragged in".
Oh my! What to say about that? The fact is that I almost never look like that after an intense session. The look that got captured in that moment is surely honest and not at all contrived. Master had asked me to look up at Him and smile, and I really did try to do what He wanted. It wasn't that much of a reach -- we'd played pretty intensely, and I was flying into the sense of power and accomplishment and invincibility that sometimes comes in the aftermath. So the glow and the jubilance in that shot are very real. Although, to be honest, I don't' often think to just light up and smile in that moment.
This really is a unique "face" for me after a spanking. But, to be honest, I'd like to make it clear that I quite often look less than fabulous after a session. Just to keep things on the up and up, here's a couple of post-spanking "faces" to compare. There just aren't that many pictures of my FACE after spankings. Go figure!

Okay Swan,
ReplyDeleteI saw that second photo and I wanted to say poor you but I know you love it! Please know that I was in NO WAY insinuating that the first picture was contrived. Just the opposite. The look on your face was pure joy, no way to make that up.
Also, I love your writing, so deep and personal. To be honest when I first came upon your blog I didnt think I could relate to anything here. As I think I've said here before Im in a DD marriage and never really heard of a polyamorous family living such a "typical" life. I know of a few people that call themselves polyamorous but they arent a family; more of just steady sex partners. I wish all those right wing fundamentalist types would open their eyes and see that no matter how different we seem we're all very much alike in so many ways. Finally Swan, would you be kind enough to lend Master to Sarah Palin? If anyone needs to be over that ottoman its her!!
Suzanne
Suzanne, I'm glad that you've found your way here and are becoming "comfortable" with our oddities.
ReplyDeleteAs for Sarah Palin, I'm quite sure that Master would be delighted to have a shot at spanking that wench, and in her case, T and I would likely help! Sigh...
swan
Hi Swan,
ReplyDeleteThats my point...I dont think there are any "oddities" in your family that arent in most other families too. How I see it is that the players may be different but the game is the same. As far as we know we all go around one time on this earh. If we can find happiness while we're here then I feel we've attained the success that so many people seek. Just one thing thats really none of my business so feel free to tell me off for asking. Do your families know about your arrangement? I only ask because if my family ever knew how I lived I really think they would try to get me in therapy or something. Its odd, I think I have one of the happiest marriages around and actually have had people ask me what the "secret" is. I live in one of the most liberal parts of the country and I wouldnt dare tell them. Oh well.
Suzanne
Suzanne, it is good to see you understanding that in fact polyamory is not that different a game from other relationships. It is like three-tiered chess (or perhaps more like five-tiered)versus two-tiered chess, but you are right, it is basically the same game. There really is no reason why polyamory should not be a legitimate option for a society that instead practices serial monogamy interspersed with huge sacrificial investments from divorces in between.
ReplyDeleteThe essence of all this for us was that I found myself in love with the two most wonderful women I'd ever known, and we all refused to accept the premise that that had to mean that one of them had to lose, or that I had to lose one of those women. Then the icing on the cake was that they came to love each other tremendously as sister-wives as our lives together unfolded.
Our families have accomodated us way beyond what we ever imagined. We do a lot of what we refer to as "hiding in plain sight." We just are who we are in public and rely on the fact that what we do is so counter-intuitive for almost everyone, that they never perceive us as being related as we are. We have done that with our families. We don't have family gatherings that don't include swan. My kids (aged 24 and 19) have come to expect it. Our family gatherings include swan and not as an outside "guest" but as one of the family. I don't know what they think. They don't ask. We don't tell. We don't make a point of it so long as we are all together on an equal standning. T's family has accepted swan totally. If there is a family event they include her. They know we would always include her, so they do too. We have no idea why they think that is. They ask no questions, and we bask in their inclusive acceptance. T has a neice who phoned us last night and concluded her call to t saying, "Love to Uncle Tom and Aunt Sue." Those moments leave us misty eyed. They are so magic for us. My father now aged 90 does well with it. The last few years, as my Mom withered and died with Alzheiners, our swan was with us every step of the way. She visited her with us and visited alone when we could not. She helped retrieve and do laundry and brought milk shakes and hot tea which became my mom'sustenace at times. My mom who had difficulty figuring out who all of us were, identified swan as another daughter..whose name of course she couldn't remember (any more than she could remember any of the rest of us). When she died we were all gathered around her bed, my t, my swan, my father,and me. My father was recently introducing us at a gathering at his independent living facility, and he introduced t as his daughter in law and swan as his other daughter in law. We know it was his not knowing what to call her. We know it was his wanting to recognize how good she had been to my Mom and how good she was to him. But we three all were elated in that moment.
So that is how it goes. I think if we had made a point of saying, "we are a poly triad and you'd better deal with it," we'd have been hugely rejected. But this approach, relying on the good nature of everyone and simple positive relatedness seems to be working for us so far.
Obviously we are, to a degree, discreet. I am very platonic in my demonstrations of affection for swan when with our families. It is an accomodation I wish was not necessary. I'd like to kiss her and hug her and pat her ass just as I might t's but, we are doing awfully well all things considered.
Suzanne, we are enjoying your interest and friendship.
Thank you,
Tom
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined.
Suzanne, I think you are onto something regarding Palin, in that one of her few redeeming attributes is her ass (There is a left wing commentator on a Sirius station that is broadcasting a count of how many times listeners catch McCain oggling Sarah's ass while they are out together on the stump:)
ReplyDeleteI think 5 licks with my atrociously breath takingly stinging rubber punishment strap for each lie she's told in the last month might be just the thing to send her back to Alaska to await the unleashing of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse on the earth. Hopefully she'll stay there until then.
Sarah Palin............my god, talk about a road to nowhere.
All the best,
Tom

Hello Tom,
ReplyDeleteThe way you described your family situation is very much like something my family deals with also. My sister is in a lesbian relationship and has been for 10 years. Everyone knows but nobody talks about it (except for Kevin and I). Her lover is included in all family functions and although they dont show affection for one another there is no doubt that they are a couple. Once again, that just shows how much more alike than different most families are.
As for Sarah Palin, I have a feeling if you and Kevin ever got together Sarah would need one of those huge ice blocks to sit on for a longggggggggg time!!
Suzanne
