Episode 0123 - Non-Spanko Partners

Join us for a very special episode of Spanko! Podcast: For pride month this year, we wanted to gather with some friends and have a very important discussion about what it’s like to be Trans in the Spanking Community.  Returning guest, Avery, hosts this episode, as we gather at GASP this year with a group of extraordinary and wonderful spankos to discuss their journeys of self-discovery, acceptance, and how their individual eggs cracked (the evolution of the self-exploration journey and rebirth as your true self).  We cover a wide range of topics such as gender identity affecting your chosen role as Top, Bottom, or Switch, and finding acceptance both with yourself and in the community. We also dive into some deep and personal territory and bring a lot of emotions and vulnerability forward. The journey is not always an easy one, but what we all experienced in creating this episode was love, support, and acceptance in ways that moved some of us to tears.  Whether you have trans friends, feel awkward about discussing trans issues, have questions about playing with a trans person, are on your own journey of self-discovery or acceptance, or if you have ever felt awkward about yourself in any capacity, please give this episode a listen.  We hope we’ve captured and shared with you the beauty and love in the room that we all felt while recording this very special episode.  

Coming to you from TASSP 2024, AssaultedPeanut and Nemo join us to discuss Co-Topping and Co-Bottoming in a spanking scene. Whether you have been in a Co-Topping or Co-Bottoming scene, or you hope to someday, this episode is one you won’t want to miss. What does it mean to play with multiple Tops or multiple Bottoms in a scene? What challenges come up? What makes it so fun? Our guests, and our hosts, who have had this kind of experience share what their experiences have been like and why it’s fun to explore playing with more than one friend at the same time.   Our exceptional guests regale us with poetic, and almost play-by-play, reminiscences of this type of “dance” and what makes it so “yummy.”   

If you’re anything like BigGirlSpanker and you enjoy the art of quality spanking implements, you may have wondered where you should store your items.  Should I use a backpack (Eric has)? Or a baseball bag (Eric does)? Or a trash bag (hey, we all need to improvise at times)? Or is there something better out there? Wonder no more!  Our friend, Matt and his company LuxxGear, have come to the rescue! He has invested and devoted himself to creating quality implement bags known as KinkBags. Join us for a tour of their product, and see if it will work for an implement hoarder… I mean “collector”... like Eric.  We bet it may work for you, too.

Five years!? The Spanko! Podcast has been releasing episodes every other week for the past five years! Join us as we share memorable moments and memorable episodes. *emotional tear* Feel free to share some of yours in the comments below. Our friends, fans, and patrons join us as we record this episode LIVE (kinda) and share some of their own experiences of joining the scene AND how our little podcast has helped them along their journeys.  Did you ever write in the Spanko Secrets notebook??? This completely anonymous notebook has been traveling with us since 2022. Join us as we open it for the first time and read some excerpts! *scandalous*  As always, we advocate for safety and clearly spoken communication. Please be safe and consensual in your spanking play.  Here is to another 5 years!  

Have you experienced the thrill of a multi-day national… erm, international spanking party? Cause if you haven’t, TASSP is for you!  Join our Spankoholics and our lovely TASSP Hostess, Princess Kelley May, and hear about some of our adventures at TASSP last year, and what we have to look forward to coming up June 12-15th, 2025. Live out your school fantasy at the TASSP immersive school role play, where you’ll have to go to class and even do school work. Perhaps you can beg your strict teacher for some stickers for being “good.” Or perhaps you want something a bit more serious:  Shit, I have Saturday detention head space!  But there’s more than “just” school events! TASSP has something for everyone! And this year, you may even find yourself living out some roleplays from days gone by… or maybe from the distant future! There’s also judicial events, littles events, playful events, classes, the vendors fair, the Spanking Booth for charity, and so much more! However you like to play, consensually of course, come to TASSP and join in the adventures!

So, your partner is a spanko. We’ve talked to couples in the past who are in a relationship with a vanilla (or non-spanko) partner. Of course this can have its challenges for a spanko. But this time we hear from the non-spankos themselves!  Join us as we get to know some of the struggles, pitfalls, and even the perks you can experience when being in a relationship with a spanko, even if you aren’t one yourself. TASSP 2024 provided an opportunity for non-spanko partners to gather together in support of one another, and they invited us to join in some of their discussions.  If you have a vanilla partner in your life, or a spanko partner whose interest you may not fully grasp, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.  

Are you ready for a week-long SPANKING Summer Camp adventure?  In this episode we visit with Ryan from the Fox Haven Campground, an open and affirming place where all your explorations can become reality.  Learn about CanSpanks Spanko Camp where you can have your spanking fantasies come true at a sauna, in or around the lake, in a school house, a glitter palace… basically wherever your heart desires! AND all the consensual pranks are allowed… even CONFETTI!  This camp has vanilla activities, too, such as kayaking, swimming, and camping AND you get to enjoy nature in the wild, and perhaps even see a moose! But of course we come for the outdoor spanking fun on hundreds of acres of privacy! Consider coming to CanSpanks for a camping experience you’ll never forget!  

Ella and Listener return for Take 2 of our most listened to episode ever!  Join us as we interview them at TASSP for their take and experiences with Spanking & Crying.  Learn about the five types of emotional crying:  loss/separation Grief   Helplessness/powerlessness  Physical pain/discomfort  Empathetic crying  Positive experience/moving situation  Dacryphilia - What does it mean and are you one?  Let’s ponder about what are your responsibilities as a spankee when getting spanked for a transgression?  

Did you know Ariel Anderson is THEEE Amelia Jane Rutherford? Find out why she chose this specific last name. Oh, such a naughty reason!  Like many of us Ariel was raised to feel ashamed, and also thought she needed to repress her spanking desires. However, she was fortunate to discover the wonderful world of bondage modeling and the adventures of spanking videos! How did she resolve this inner conflict? She is a published author as well! But you’ll have to join us and listen to find out her book title as well as the book’s unique subject matter.  Such a fun interview of a brilliant individual!  We were uber excited that Ariel Anderssen agreed to spend an evening with the Spanko! Podcast on her visit over from the U.K. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!  

Teachers, Principals, Fraternity & Sorority Hazing: What is it about school role plays that spankos find so fascinating?  We sat down (some of us more comfortably than others) after doing many different school-themed role plays at GASP 2024 and talked with some of the participants (on both sides of the paddle) to find out!  We discuss all aspects of the school events, from organization and planning, to playing the principal and the naughty sorority pledge. While, of course, we each have our own personal reasons for enjoying school-themed play, you’ll be amazed at how much we have in common.  If you haven’t tried a school role-play yourself, perhaps this episode may pique your interest, or kindle some new ideas!  Is that the school bell I hear? You’d best behave!
