Where's the respect?

I may be misunderstanding your wording but I don't think so. I don't think bratting is part of being a newbie, or more specifically, a misguided newbie. A lot of tops I know like bratting, or welcome it - some don't. As I've played more, I realize that I don't have to be a brat to get a spanking I want, but sometimes it's fun to know you're being spanked for a reason.

Kate, I was answering for myself, not all newbies. No matter what question gets raised, we can never answer for an entire group as a whole.

I think it's funnny that everyone who has weighed in have been bottoms (or switches). And of course we are going to answer through what we do. I'd love to hear the tops point of veiw. That being said I'll add my own mode of operation.

I'm definately a brat and not at all a slave, not really submissive (although I can be if the right person comes along). My spanking fun is just that fun. Now I can have a great time being spanked for the sake of being spanked. If some one asks to spank me at a party i will go play in a heart beat. If I've been eyeing some one I may ask them... however if I'm in a particularly feisty mode I love to brat!

I admit at my first party I definately bratted to hard with people I didn't know. But that had nothing to do with thinking that I had to or being led astray. i was just caught up in the moment. I said some things that did cross the line of bratty (I might add that I think more people cross the line with Verbal bratting then any other kind) and went into the disrespectful realm. But hey we all get cuaght up in adreneline and endorfins sometimes.

This is probably to general but with people who really identify with being a brat I say there are three categories: feisty brat, sweet brat, and Sexy Brat..... I'm definately a feisty brat.


There's my two smacks worth!

Aurora I really like your response. You seem so well thought out in everything you say. I guess if I had to put a word to it, it would be composed.

Kaylex is superbrat in backwards upside piglatin!

But I side with Kaylex alot on this one. For me it is also all about having fun and making it fun. The spanking can be a serious spanking but its all in fun. Not really into discipline (surprise!).

I personally think bratting has more to do with personality than experience level, although I can see as a newbie that bratting could be seen as a way to initiate play.

As for the actual question I think alot of it has to do with the individuals involved. I have seen some bratty behaviour that I felt defintely crossed the line. However it did not involve me so perhaps the ones whom it did involve thought it was ok. Or maybe they dealth with it in private at a later date instead of making a scene.

I have crossed the line on occassion and apologized later when I found out that I had crossed the line. I also apologize if I think I crossed the line. Liek Kaylex said sometimes you just get caught up in the moment.

And now back to your regularly scheduled bratting!

I like this question.

In my excursions into chat I've found a lot of behavior that's just stupid.

That being said, I like clever bratty stuff. It can be fairly innocent fun. But i'm more into either totally erotic spankings or real discipline ones. In neither is bratting needed too much.
