Acceptance Brings Change

by Thianna D

Some people look on spanking as just something you do to kids, some people look at it as a sick fetish. To others, it is just for fun. And yet, also for a segment of the population, spanking is also used as a form of discipline. Strangely enough, some of the stuff we are most attracted to, society makes us ashamed of. That kind of shame can eat at a person. Coming out of that shame, can also give you the freedom you need to overcome almost any obstacle in your way.

That’s how things are for Christian. After coming back from Afghanistan, broken both physically and mentally, he doesn’t see much of a future for himself. Meeting Logan is a surprise, especially because it brings up the slight interest he had in men – an interest he had denied for a long time. But Logan doesn’t just bring out his sexual need, he also brings out a kink that Christian has been hiding for a long time – the desire to be spanked.

For someone like Christian for whom spanking is a fetish, being spanked by Logan opens his eyes to the fact that maybe he isn’t bad or wrong for accepting something he has been dreaming about for years. He comes out of the closet to his family, finds a therapist to help him with his PTSD, and works at making himself the kind of man Logan deserves. In doing so, he becomes stronger and frees the man inside who has been hiding for far too long.

And isn’t that we all wish for? I am violently against shame and what it can do to people and to the body. Accepting parts of ourselves we have always denied or put down, finding others who are accepting of it as well, is liberating, good for the body, and for one’s mental health as well. Shame should be outlawed in my opinion.

About As Natural As Breathing

For Christian Darringer, life isn’t worth living. Just back from the Middle East; scarred and with permanent damage to one leg, he does not think anyone will want him for anything. Meeting a gorgeous man he finds himself thinking about constantly is not in his plans. Pulled toward the startling younger man with striking blue eyes, he begins to question a lot of things – especially his sexuality. Not one to hide from a challenge, he plunges ahead only to find himself more than just attracted to Logan who is full of life and joy, he finds himself head over heels in love.

Logan Mannette has almost everything he ever wanted: loving parents, happiness, friends and security. The only thing missing is finding the love of his life, a love that is just like his parents’. When he meets Christian at a party, everything changes. Instantly attracted, he does his best to help this sad man and quickly finds himself feeling more than he has ever felt before. Raised in a domestic discipline household, he holds that ideal as what he wants but his interest in spanking became a fetish and when Christian admits that he wants to be spanked, Logan believes he might have found the perfect man.

Just as everything begins for them, Christian’s past intercedes and one of his brothers makes waves about him dating a man. If it weren’t for Logan’s support, he might fold; but with the love of one amazing man, Christian finds that living his life rather than just existing is as natural as breathing.
