Today might be tomorrow – if you know what I mean.
Don’t you love this picture? Dave from The Cherry Red Report made it from a tweet that I made. And it does sum up my approach to TTWD. And he wrote about me! Me!?! You can see it if you click on the link.
I know there is this endless dichotemy. I want to win the struggle but if I do win I am sad. But the joy of having an experience with someone very Toppy is not worrying about him winning or me not winning. I can just play to my heart’s content and let things play out as they will. But then the day of reckoning comes and suddenly the stakes are high. But you know my inner imp cries out …
“Never surrender.”
I have determined not get spanked and even more importantly, not to get told off for what I may have done over the last 48 hours.
After all, what I did was not as bad as what this girl did.
In order to win it is vital to focus very carefully on the balance between getting away with stuff and being so obviously bad that he is forced to act or, even worse being so bad that you feel guilty and agree from the start that you should be punished – that is no fun at all.
I think very carefully how to walk the line and it is a tricky business. I thought we could share some top tips.
1) Expression. You have to look as though you adore him (because you do) and as though you want nothing more than to make him happy (because you do). Pouting, scowling and the “I have just done something very bad that you have not found yet” expression will not help. Look innocent.
2) Wilful destrction of property and/ or actual bodily harm. The thing is once you have crossed this line it is a bit difficult to dissuade him from taking action. If you must be this bad try to use a remote controlled device so that at least you can use the bait and switch method to give yourself a bit of a chance.
3) Diversionary tactics. If you need me to spell this out then you don’t deserve to get out of a spanking.
4) The bait and switch. You have been bad. You both know you have been bad but it was a time when you were apart and so you have a little time to make it up. This is when you must be so good and such a delight that there is no way he could spank you. Walk in, bring treats, cook, be such a wonderful person that it hurts it heart to even imagine spanking you.
5) Act your way out of it. Pretend what you did was not just normal but really very good and helpful. This takes staying power. He will not fall for it right away and do not give up when he is incredulous as to your cheek. Smile and keep it up.
6) One last thing. No matter how tempting it is no account, even if it guarantees getting you out of a spanking must you ever, ever behave. That is simply not an option. You can change your mind and be good after you have been bad but you cannot be good from the outset. That simply s not done.
How about you? Any other tips? I am not asking for any particular reason but if you did have good suggestion and you could make it before 7 ish tonight that would be lovely.
My best technique is to claim misunderstanding. Either what I did wasn’t properly understood, or the rule I broke wasn’t clear enough so of course I didn’t realize I was breaking it.
Believe it or not, this has worked (or did in our early days), mostly due to creating an atmosphere of utter confusion.
Mija, I can’t believe that actually works for you. I’ve tried it several times, some were truly sincere and it still didn’t work. You must be good at storytelling.
Paul is very into fairness (or at least he used to be). He’s also very logical and was new to spanking and my own brand of dishonest honesty. He felt confused I think.
As I said, it worked better in the early days.
Poppy, good morning.
and warm 
It’s nice to see you back to your devious self.
Mind you, any top worthy of his salt will cut right to the heart of the matter, and give you exactly what you need.
TGIF, have a good one.
Paul.
I am sure this blog will prove to serve your wants, Poppy.
Also, you may wish to distance yourself from Cherry Red’s estimate that “I do think lines such as these [yours - MrJ] are meant to confuse and, perhaps, even momentarily stun Tops unprepared for such twisted logic. . . . “
Poppy, I will have to think on this because I really don’t have much luck talking my way out. I do have one that only works if you have children but neighbors or guests will work. You simply point out that he couldn’t possibly spank you without someone hearing and getting the wrong idea. Well, the right idea but not what they are thinking, you know what I mean.
The picture of the girl OTK looks very uncomfortable. I may be the only one here that has never been spanked in that position. Doesn’t the blood rush to your head? it seems very dangerous and should be outlawed. Spankings should always be on something soft, like a down comforter, or a lap while he is sitting on something she could rest her body. – Sorry, didn’t mean to get off topic.
Poppy, thank you for an early morning laugh! I rarely get out of anything. I think Roman’s motto is “spank first, talk later.”
This falls under the ‘acting’ catagory, but being shocked and offended that his mind would even go there, as to think or even CONSIDER one iota of evilness within me……..
Well, how could he, really? My intentions are always pure as the undriven snow. (the key is to convince oneself, because THEN it isn’t acting!)
Kundalini,
You nailed it. Lol.
Sweetpea
I did apparently not manage to get the intial quote right in. I referred to your confession that “I want to win the struggle but if I do win I am sad. ”
Sorry.
Poppy, I am in the Kaki and Scarlet camp, very, very little gets me out of a spanking.
I’ve tried the “children will hear” one. The making a wonderful supper, in fact I even invited visitors over to share the lovely meal. The being so frantically busy on a very, very important project that I couldn’t possibly stop to be spanked, never too early to start the Easter bonnet. At best I got a postponement. The only one that has ever worked is to burst into tears before the spanking starts but that is involuntary and not a guaranteed spank stopper.
Poppy, you are truly brilliant.
I just want. Say that I have no access to a computer until this pm but I like your tips. I think I am going for Kundalini’s because that matches my skill set. I am not overly optimistic about anything working but it is worth a shot because the alternative is … doing what I am told and I know we all agree on that topic.
Doing what one is told is highly, highly overrated. I do not suggest ever stooping so low as to do that! We must retain our dignity! (especially, because, well – you KNOW)
