Pandora Blake

Hello! I’m Pandora Blake, and I’m so excited to share my dreams with you.

Creating spanking films is a dream come true for me. I love acting, performing, dressing up, and creating beautiful things, and I find it enormously satisfying to realise my deepest, kinkiest, fantasies on film. Being on set with other kinky queers is still one of my favourite things I get to do.

I’ve been in the adult industry since 2005, and I’ve been into spanking for way longer. I remember as a young kid looking up spanking words in the dictionary, fantasising about being sent off to a strict boarding school, and setting myself pretend homework to do at the old-fashioned flip top wooden desk I had in my bedroom. As soon as I found friends who wanted to play with me, spanking games are one of the first things I suggested – and I haven’t looked back since.

As an adult spanking, BDSM, and consensual dominance and submission have underpinned all my core intimate relationships. I’m a queer, polyamorous switch, and I don’t consider myself compatible with someone unless they like spanking. I have many other kinks, but spanking is something I keep coming back to, time and time again.

I think what I most love about spanking is the breadth of the fetish – from light-hearted playful spankings which tease more than they push, to heavy, severe scenes which knock the breath out of you; from crying with laughter to crying real, cathartic tears of emotional release, and everything in between.

I love the drama of spanking: the conflict resolution, the complex consent, the psychological headfucks, the surrender, the control, the theatre, the ceremony and rituals. I love how utterly critical tiny details can be, and I love how sometimes when you’re playing with the right person, absolutely anything at all can be exciting, and the details don’t matter at all.

I consider myself a true spanko, but I’m a sexual being too, and I enjoy many other aspects of BDSM. I live with my partner Felix in Bristol, in the UK. You won’t see Felix in front of the camera, but occasionally helps out behind it. We have a delightful genderqueer switch relationship where power and gender roles flow back and forth between us. We love playing with impact, bondage, erotic hypnosis, roleplay, chastity, breath play, anal play, service, and control. I have another long-term partner who lives in the US, and other friends, lovers, playmates and spanking partners in the UK and overseas.

I’m non-binary and prefer they/them pronouns: I’m a gender chameleon and find gender performance and gender dynamics very hot in a kink context. I’m comfortable playing female characters, male characters, and anything in between.

I came up with the name “Pandora Blake” when I was 21, after working as a fetish model for a year under a couple of other names. “Blake” was after the artist and poet William Blake, whose gothic romantic work I discovered doing my Fine Art A Level. I chose “Pandora” after the character in Greek mythology, the first human woman who opened the jar and released forbidden mysteries. (I grew up in Leicester, and so I can’t deny that my choice of name was influenced by Pandora Braithwaite, the crushable character in Sue Townsend’s beloved Adrian Mole books: a brilliant and outspoken feminist with “treacle-coloured’ hair, who attends Oxford, marries a gay man, and becomes a hard-left Labour MP.)

When I came out as non-binary in 2017, I started to adopt “Blake” as an alternative first name. I’m now happy to answer to either Pandora or Blake, although if I’m honest I prefer Blake these days.

I got into modelling while attending Cambridge University, where I studied Classics. After working as a nude, pin-up, and fetish fashion model for a couple of years, I decided I wanted to star in the spanking films I’d been watching since I first discovered them online. I reached out to a few companies, and made my first spanking films in 2006. Almost immediately, I started writing and producing my own scenes and saving them up for my own website “one day”. I launched Dreams of Spanking in 2011 – and it’s still going strong.

Dreams of Spanking is an outpouring of my most authentic self. It represents my deepest, darkest spanking fantasies and kinky relationships as honestly as I can; and it’s also a way for me to make the porn I want to see, and put my politics into practice. My productions are founded on a performer-centric ethos, enthusiastic consent, creating the best possible working conditions for performers on set, transparency, and fair pay. Diversity and representation are crucial to my vision, and I love showcasing a variety of gorgeous performers with different genders, sexualities and bodies that aren’t usually seen in porn. My mission with Dreams of Spanking is to show how spanking porn can be hard, edgy and satisfying while promoting trans-inclusive feminist values, creative expression, and performer welfare.
