Spanking Bigger Bottoms
One of the really fun things about the spanking fetish is that almost nobody insists on that heroin-chic thin-as-a-twig body type for their spanking models and play partners. Spanking play is inherently a little bit rough, so there’s no premium on fragility! A sturdy girl with a well-padded ass can play hard, take a hell of a spanking, and bounce right back up asking to do it all again. What’s more, it’s fairly common for people who like spanking to have a bit of a bottom fetish, with ample padding and generous curves being a “woohoo, the more the merrier!” situation. Overall, the spanking world is a bit of a friendly oasis for people with big butts and the people who love them.
This contrasts rather sharply with the vanilla porn world, where there’s maybe a little more acceptance of normal body types (as compared to, say, fashion modeling or acting). Mainstream porn has room for anything, but only if it’s rigidly typed and classified under some keyword-identified fetish. Amply-padded curvaceous women are usually called “BBW” (for “Big Beautiful Women”) and you’ll only find them in “specialty” titles and categories. If you want BBW hot photos you can get them, but you won’t just stumble over them in a random boy/girl “blowjob and an energetic fuck” 20 minute porn clip.
So my theory (and I’m sure I’ll get people in the comments arguing with me) is that in the spanking world, we are allowed to see bigger bodies in our porn or in our playspaces without needing anybody to fetishize “BBW” specifically. But that’s not at all the same thing as saying BBW isn’t a specific fetish enjoyed by some spankos, too. For a few years we even had a dedicated Spanking BBW site, but like so many great sites it does not survive. Then too, the vintage spanking porn record includes persuasive evidence that this combination of fetishes has always been with us.
There’s plenty of spanking art that celebrates ample fleshy asses, too. Spanking Blog has published quite a bit of it over the years. From a Japanese sauna to a lesbian dungeon, the examples aren’t hard to find.
I am aware that some people out there consider all commentary about body types to be rude, no matter how celebratory one tries to make it. I got yelled at in 2008 for expressing concern about a malnourished lingerie model. And I understand the argument, I do. But at the end of the day, my role here on Spanking Blog is to be your spanking porn sommelier. That’s almost impossible to do correctly without some acknowledgment of the role that ass shapes and body types play in people’s fetish enjoyment.
