I was trying to figure out what to make RG and the kids for dinner and went looking for a distraction - and it looks like I found one!!
WHAT WORKS: I too am one who loves playing for extended periods of time. I prefer leather, but sometimes (for some crazy odd reason) desire wood (which I usually regret as soon as the first swat lands). I am open to almost anything, really, as long as I have a clue first. With a trusted partner, I will try almost anything related to ttwd.
ROLEPLAY: I love to role play. I am one who kinda likes the Daddy/little girl role play. Or a coming of age role play. I would be open to just about any role play EXCEPT diaper play - ick. But if "Daddy" wants to give me a bath, I'm all for it! Who wouldn't like their hair washed by someone else?

Like Kaylex, however, it's a game and game only. I won't be calling any partner "Daddy" 24/7. (Bedtime may be set, but not as a role play, just part of DD if he feels it's needed.)
SUBSPACE: I've hit subspace from an exceedingly erotic spanking as well as one that caused me an incredible amount of agony. Obviously, the endorphin rush came from overstimulation of different kinds in each case.
WHAT I HATE: I hate the wrapping of any implement. I understand that misfires happen, but if it's a consistent thing, then I will probably stop the spanking. I also hate it when someone doesn't aim a paddle (or even a strap, for that matter) and it only hits the far cheek. Again, I understand misfires happen - I am talking of someone not paying attention or having control of the implement they are using and continuously doing it. It's painful and takes the fun out of it. I am vocal about it, however, and may holler out, "wrapping!" or "too high!" or "too low!" -- Topping from the bottom? Perhaps. But when playing with someone whom you hardly know, I believe it's communication.
BRATTING: I don't like excessive bratting - either doing it or watching it. For me to 'brat', it's more of a game of wits, or being a bit of a smartass - usually with someone I know well - in the hopes of getting a spanking. (I've been known to get into a wrestling match or two as well) But not the juvenile things you read about like pouring water on someone, or throwing food, or spitwads, or cutting hair, shaving eyebrows, or doing something that is actually humiliating to someone, etc etc. I like a good word game, or battle of wits. Sometimes I will even get a bit bold and boss about. That usually is sure to land me OTK. Or my favorite, clapping my hands at RG and saying, "Get to it, slave! Chop! Chop!" It usually gets him moving pretty fast, and usually in my direction!!
(Calling Richard Windsor a Noodle Arm works too!)
