Less Spankings As You Get Older

Do you get less spankings as you get older?

I don't know, I've been wondering. if you do then I'm cancelling getting older. I suppose if I kept records and put some facts and figures into a spread sheet I could get some pretty little charts and graphs to tell me about frequency, times of year, times of day, coinciding factors such as business stress, family matters, with sex, without sex, all sorts of stuff. And it would obviously show a decline in spankings against an advance in years, if that was the case.

I'm not a spreadsheet and charts type so I won't be doing all that (although it might be interesting) but I was talking with P the other night and asked him the question and, if so, why.

"Yes I'd say spankings probably do get less for some and for lots of logical reasons," was his reply.

"Like what?" I asked, eager to hear his words of wisdom in the hope I might glean some useful insight into how the trend, if ever true, could be reversed.

"Well if I sat down and thought about it I could probably give you a whole list of reasons but off the top of my head I'd say:-

Familiarity - they say it breeds contempt. I wouldn't say that's necessarily applicable, and certainly not for us, but it probably breeds some indifference.
Physical effort - as you get older you seek less physical effort, and spankings, if done properly, do require a fair amount of physical effort.
Sexual drive -  it diminishes with age and let's face it lots of spankings, maybe most depending on the participants, are fundamentally sex driven.

There would be lots of qualifications to everything I've just said and probably loads more things to add but, basically, I'd say those are the main reasons."

I thought about what he'd said for a while and then started asking him questions, probably silly ones (not all) like if indifference equalled boring and if familiarity included knowing each others habits and likes and dislikes too well, that sort of thing. Then before he'd even answered me I asked him if he thought I was getting less physical and did he think I should take up jogging again. He was a bit irritated because there was an interview with Mark Knopfler on TV and he'd been listening to it, he said why didn't I put my questions on a txt or email and send them to him and he'd do his best to answer them. Bloody cheek.

I sat twiddling with my phone for about 10 minutes then sent a txt, it wasn't a long one, just two words 'Miserable Bastard'. His phone pinged but he didn't get it. After the interview finished he poured us each a glass of wine and went and retrieved his phone, I'm sure he was expecting a long and thoughtful list of questions. He laughed out loud when he opened the message.

He came and sat next to me and put his hand on my thigh, he said that was a perfect example of familiarity, he knew me well enough to know I didn't mean it and I knew him well enough to know it wouldn't offend him. Well he was wrong there, I would have liked it to offend him sufficiently to cause him to give me a good spanking....after which of course he would be immediately unoffended and I would be duly sorry and with a sore bottom. That didn't happen and I couldn't help wondering if it might have happened a few years ago.   

Hmm. I made a mental note to unfamiliarise some of our cosy ways and to increase my activity levels, I haven't quite decided exactly how. As for sexual drive, well I would honestly say mine has probably never been stronger, I better not query his, unless perhaps by email, in a round about sort of way:)

Have a fun weekend.
