You know it’s going to be a long day on the spanking porn set when the director spanks you in the dressing room before you ever get your first outfit on. It’s what you get for showing up late!
One of my rules of thumb is that any credible list of recommended spanking porn created since 2012 or so simply must include the Dreams Of Spanking site started and run by long-term friend-of-the-blog Blake. By that yardstick, the Rabbits Reviews list of best spanking porn sites is an obvious success, because Dreams is on it.
Back in 2015 (almost 10 years ago!) I asked my readers to help me identify any new and fresh producers of spanking porn that I might have missed at that time. What became clear from that exercise is that the spanking porn space wasn’t brimming with new startups a decade ago, and (I am here to tell you) it still isn’t. So if the sites with reviews at Rabbit mostly seem familiar to you, that’s a sign of curatorial care, not any lack of diligence.
What are the reasons that we don’t see so many new and novel spanking porn sites these days? My answer is in multiple parts, but the first part is dull and boring. Innovation in porn has declined everywhere, subsequent to the rise of the so-called vampire tubes and the porn-industry consolidation that fell out from that.
The second part of my answer is demographic. After 22 years of spanking blogging, I’ve come to understand that I am not the only spanko out here with grey hair. Not hardly! Indeed, I think our little corner of fetish-space may trend just a tiny bit grey. I have no data for this, but imagine for the sake of argument that I am right. If the most desirable marketing demographic is the 18-34 set, it’s not a stretch to imagine that new porn ventures might not be aimed at us.
My third answer? Any loss of vitality in the spanking website space might be attributable to something you could call the gentrification of BDSM, but which I choose to call a trend toward fetish acceptance, if not downright polymorphous perversity. It’s really common for me to encounter older people with spanking interest who have convinced themselves that erotic spanking is just a little peccadillo, a sexual quirk perhaps, but it’s not actually a genuine fetish, and they aren’t themselves genuinely kinky, are they? Denial, thou art a boomer…
Meanwhile, out among the millennials and GenZs who have architected the ongoing explosion of kink acceptance in our culture, spanking as a fetish (or fetish subculture) is almost invisible these days. It’s barely even a thing! It’s just “impact play” now — a tiny taxonomical corner of BDSM. In a commercial porn environment that doesn’t encourage micro-niche fetish sites of any kind, you wouldn’t start a “BDSM:ImpactPlay:Spanking” website any more than you’d start a “BodyModification:Ink:SexyMermaids” site. It’s just too niche!

They can’t understand why they have such a big shoplifting problem:
Cartoon by Earl Engleman shows two people looking at a sign that says “Warning! Shoplifters will be stripped, chained, and whipped.” The man says to the woman “Some of them actually go out of their way to get caught!”
If the evidence of this dog-eared vintage postcard is to be believed, they take detention very seriously at the Birchdale School For Delinquent Girls. Twelve of the best, and no backtalk!
I found this admonition on Honey’s blog, and although context offered there is limited, who among us doesn’t know a mouthy sub who likes to bite things? Sometimes a gentle reminder is needed that these are fine leather goods procured at considerable expense for her smacking pleasure:
The mild hand spanking that Bettie Page is giving a fetish model here seems oddly uncalibrated to the fairly high fetish level (rubber, lingerie, boots, bondage) on display in this vintage kink photo:
