I fucking love my readers. Really. I mean it. I love each and every one of you. And, today, I want to talk about two readers in particular: Error Boy and KB. I actually know Error Boy in real life; he’s a friend that happens to read my blog. KB is an anonymous reader who recently sent me an email about spanking. Let’s start with KB. Here’s her email:

Hey FBC,

Love your blog and I think it is very cool IMHO that you spank men. Really? I’m just as keen as beans to try it but I need a few tips on … well, how do you bring up the subject?

not a domme either,
kb

Couple of thoughts. First and formost, the password for the spanking post is “spank” if you want to read it. (No worries; it’s much tamer than you’d imagine.) Second, I *love* it that KB uses the phrase “keen as beans”. I was raised in the cornfields of the Illinois. I’m convinced that the Midwest is the birthplace of *every* hokey saying in this country’s lexicon. Thirdly, and finally, can I just say that it’s such a stroke to my ego that KB considers me a go-to source about female-to-male erotic spanking. Okay, so, having said all of this … I wrote KB back and thanked her for her very kind email. Also, I’ve decided to devote my next post to divulging everything that you ever wanted to know about spanking. It will be like the “Anal Is The New Oral” post. Nothing particularly erotic or stimulating — just informative reporting on sexual activities between consenting adults.

Next. Time for Error Boy. He’s great because he brought my attention to two articles that I somehow missed. Even though I’m a newsjunkie who reads pretty much everything that gets published about sex & relationships, I occasionally miss a piece here and there. (Hey, I’m human.) At any rate, here are the two article that Error Boy sent me … MSNBC contributor Brian Alexander’s “Erotic Art Becoming Mainstream?” and Wired Magazine’s “Sex and Nudity Aren’t Good Reasons to Fire Someone.” GREAT articles. Give them a read if you get a chance. From the Wired piece:

[If we start] with the premise that bodies and sex are good and beautiful, we don’t have to follow it with “and therefore we need to keep them secret.” That’s like saying sex is dirty and shameful and therefore to be saved for your One True Love. Or saying that something so sacred and intimate must be hidden — but you don’t see anyone trying to keep yoga or prayer in the closet.

I still believe that our pretenses of primness will give way before the rising tide of expression.

Coming up next week here on FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com as well as on my blog over at Nerve … daily posts that celebrate the fact that “Bodies & Sex Are Good And Beautiful”. Because KB asked ever so nicely, the first post will be about Female-to-Male Erotic Spanking. If any of you out there have other ideas, topics or questions that you would like to see discussed next week, just leave ‘em in the comment section below or shoot ‘em to me via email on funkybrownchick {at} yahoo {dot} com.
