We’ve both been online since the very early 1990s. We both started on AOL where we posted on different message board groups… including a message board about spanking. And then a little while later we found different spanking themed newsgroups, which also used a message board format. A lot of fun and we definitely enjoyed meeting people that were into the same things we were. In fact, we met on a spanking message board back in the later 90s.

A popular topic for threads back in the day were survey questions where a list of activities were given and you’d share how many of them you’d done. Wish we still had access to those… and other… posts from way back when. We did however stumble into one of those old survey questions and we’re going to share it here today… along with our results.

Todd Says:  I had 87 yes answers. There are a few questions that are yes for bottoms or switches only… like #64, “Spanked Yourself?” or #88, “Had to explain your marks to a vanilla person?”  I have instructed someone to self-spank, and I have helped a spankee explain marks to a vanilla person.  So if questions like that had been worded better, I could have given yes answers.

One no answer that surprised me a bit was #94, ever been involved with “Icy hot or some other heat-enhancing cream?”  Thinking about it I can’t recall a time that I have done that.  I’ve been around others who have done it, and I’m not opposed to the idea.  Just hasn’t ever come up.

Also never done #98, “Enemas?”  Not opposed to that idea either, though to be honest I worry about it being messy and/or gross.  I would try giving an enema though, I think.

Suzy Says: I had 96 yes answers.  My four no answers were #14, “Spent more than $100 on a single spanking toy?,” #73, “Paid or been paid to spank someone,” #95, “Ginger root or some other burning/stinging substance inserted anally?“ and #98, “Enemas.“

So it looks like I have some things to add to my ‘to do’ list!
