Yep, the trailer will be up tomorrow.... not before then, sadly (it didn't finish exporting in time and I've had to step away from the PC for a couple of days to move house!) In the meantime I figured it was better to put the full film and image gallery up rather than waiting, members will be able to watch using the popup player as usual.

Mmm, yes.... hard, thuddy and slow after a long warmup, just how I like it :)

Thanks Darksong. This one was a bit of a budget, last-minute bedroom production simply to take advantage of having Zoe in the UK, so it's a relief to hear that it works artistically as well as erotically!

I have to confess though that I keep on misreading the last word in your comment as "shoes". It's very confusing ;)

Oh I know - I was laughing at my one track mind :)

Isn't it though! Have you seen the behind the scenes video to Adornment where her nipples keep popping out? ;)

Well, I don't know if that would be a treat for Zoe. It would definitely be a treat for me. :)

No, I definitely don't get used to the pain - it hurts just as much every time (actually it varies from day to day, but there is no general curve up or down over the years). What goes away over time is the fear of it - you know that you can handle it because you know you have taken it before, and that psychological familiarity does make it easier to take.

Marking does lessen as you play regularly (bit gross, but basically bruising results from burst capillaries under the skin, and once you've burst them, that's it - you can't have those exact bruises again), but a break of a year or two would be enough to restore most bottoms to a semi-virginal state. All players notice that marking is most dramatic and vivid when you are a newbie and becomes less dramatic over time. For experienced players such as myself - I've been getting spanked regularly for a decade now - it is common for redness to develop just as readily, but for it to fade very fast. Lasting welts and bruises become increasingly rare, which is convenient if you are working regularly as a spankee but inconvenient if you want a memento of a personal scene.

Warm ups reduce marking - a caning delivered after an hour of hand and leather will leave far few marks than one delivered cold. Different implements also have different effects; thin canes are more likely to break the skin - wood, heavy leather and heavy, dense canes are more likely to bruise.

Also, bear in mind that I only shoot once a month at most, and these days I am topping half the time. We'll shoot several scenes in a day and then I'll take a few days off to recover. Most marks are gone within a week; it's only when the skin has been broken, as from severe caning, that scars can last longer than that.
