I see what you mean but that would involve someone speculatively joining as a researcher or whatever role in the production team they are a year or so in advance and being open about it, on the off chance that they are making a film or documentary about BDSM or one of it's many aspects.

If they were not open about it from the start that would be quite cynical of them. But in this case a person has joined specifically to get some first hand accounts.

Obviously there are trust issues involved and it is down to individuals on this matter. I agree some time on the scene and having a network of people on here would be a preferable situation for this endeavour but I am sure TV commisioning doesn't always work to a long term plan.

That said, I will take a back seat from the limelight and watch from the sidelines !

What he said.

I don't think it is unusual for journalists or researchers to post profiles and say why they are here, at least they are being up front and open about their reason for having a profile. And if people want to respond they can, or they can just choose to ignore the post. Much worse are people who don't declare their interests or are not up front about why they want information. This person sounds genuine and if there are some spankers and spankees out there who are willing to contact her, and give a positive view of their preferences, well that is wonderful! The link on her profile does not look like it is a company that are looking to trash or criticise.

normally something to do with hands and I think bottoms......... yes pretty certain hands are involved.

and the "normal" being just a light spanking before sex, sort of foreplay "everyday" sort of spanking :-p

Doesn't she have to sign a legally binding contract in her own blood that she has never worked for, is not working for, and will never work for the NOTW before anyone will talk to her if she's a journalist ?

I was getting paranoid, okay I was getting even more paranoid (But they ARE out to get me!), because I thought her site name was the same as the treacherous double agent from a James Bond movie. But that I found out was Miranda FROST. So, no...

S....x.

Google. Removing your last excuse for being ignorant. Of anything ...

I was amazed and delighted to see the book very cleverly advertised in the London Review of Books - hope it sells a million!

Hi - yes, I did only just join this site but I have been a meber on BS for quite a while. I orginally commissioned the Spank Daddy book after meeting him in a Soho pub. I have been interested in spanking since my twenties but don't have a great deal of experience. Having said that this book/programme is opening up lots of new areas for me ;)

Spanking Documentary

Hi - we published the True Confessions of a London Spank Daddy book wich came out last week. It has caused a great deal of interest and we've been approached by a TV production company to do a one hour documentary about the British spanking scene. Nothing wierd or extreme - just everyday spanking folk. The idea is to show that this is a normal and important part of many peoples lives. We are looking for contributors - some can remain incognito but we do also need some to be seen. We are not interesting in outting people or invading parties, events etc. Please understand that as there is understandably a great deal of mistrust but I wouldn't be involved in something that wasn't honest and transparent. If you are interested in any way pls do send me a message. We are also meeting in London this Thurs 31st if anybody wants to come along and say hello. There would be no commitment to be in the show - you can just find out more about it. Many thanks, Miranda Xcite Books is an imprint of Accent Press Ltd
