The Secret to Success

Pandora is a chronic procrastinator, and jealous of her friend Adele’s success with time management. When she finds out her secret, she’s more than a little curious.

In this film, Adele Haze plays the experienced bottom who is successfully using consensual discipline to improve her studies, and Pandora plays a disorganised student who is desperately in need of some time management skills. Over chats in the library, Adele tactfully introduces her friend to the concept of corporal punishment and a discipline arrangement where the bottom sets the goals. Pandora is intrigued – but understandably cautious. When Adele’s top Tom arrives for their weekly appointment, they invite Pandora to stay and observe – and make up her mind for herself.

This scene goes from zero to consensual in 30 minutes. We wanted to take the time to explore the psychology of someone new to the idea of consensual discipline who goes through the process of adopting it for themselves; and we wanted Pandora’s transition from outsider to new, nervous bottom to be believable. It wouldn’t happen in a heartbeat. As a result this scene takes a little time to build, with some in-depth conversation as the characters discuss the concept and begin negotiations. It might be slow for a spanking movie – but for a real life decision it’s surprisingly quick.

Those who don’t like extended scene-setting may wish to skip straight to 19:00, which is when the punishments start in earnest. But if you’re interested in the psychology of real-life discipline and want to get to know the characters and their motivations before diving into the action, you’ll want to watch from the beginning.

Our hope is that this film will serve as an informative introduction to the concept of consensual discipline, which might be suitable to show to newcomers to kink. And the belt whipping and over the knee spanking in the second half is, in our opinion, really quite hot. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
