Strict Julie Switches!

As some of you may have noticed, after almost a decade of blogging and more than 12M pageviews, I changed the banner title of my blog from Strict Julie Spanks! to Strict Julie Spanked! Most of my long-time readers will understand why...

My new reality...

Yes, there's no longer any point denying it, I am now more on the receiving end than on the giving end. Here is how my blog, which reflects my kinky life, has shifted over the years:

Back in the day it was the rare post which had a female subby theme, maybe 5%-10%. In 2016 it started ramping up. That was the year I got so excited by having my friend Tracy give me a paddling (Julie in for a Severe Paddling). There had been some mild subby play leading up to that, but that event is where I got really turned on by relinquishing control, and started getting more and more into it, as you can see by the chart which shows a fairly consistent rise up to around 2/3 of the posts with me being subby and 1/3 me being dommy. I think it's likely to stay around there, not by design, just because that's how I am.

I updated my blog and profile blurb to reflect my more subby-first, switchie status. I also, reluctantly, updated my age to early forties, though admitting only to a mental age of 19! Importantly, I also made the definitive statement that while I am a switch at play, I am also a real-life spanked wife at home. Oh, how writing that brings goose bumps to me!

I decided to make these changes after being inspired by PK Corey's life and works as described in The Work of PK Corey. PK is a woman in her mid sixties, a lifelong spanko who came out of the closet to her husband at age 50, and then just stopped caring who knew after she retired from her job as a schoolteacher and became a full-time writer of spanking fiction. She is still spanked by her husband. PK writes what she wants to read. We exchanged emails, and I was just inspired.

I thought about starting a new blog for subie stuff and keeping the old one for dommie stuff, but I'm pretty far down the one blog path already, and I switch very spontaneously, so why not be unique and be one of the only switchie blogs out there? Hence leaving "Strict" in the title along with "Spanked". A switchie title for a switchie blog.

I've noticed that many bloggers shelve their blogs before ten years, and maybe that's because they lose interest as there is just not that much more for them to say about the topic after ten years of blogging. That would have been true for me had I kept it strictly femdom. But the discovery of femsub was an exciting journey of discovery for me, and you all came along on that with me, and that certainly kept it fresh and sexy for me.

I'm not sure what the name change and acknowledgment of the orientation change will do for pageviews. All of us bloggers are at least a little bit pageview whores, and brand confusion is never a good thing. Already took a bit of a hit when I started writing some of my social commentary. Betwixt and between. Oh well! I figure I need to be honest to myself as a first priority, and people who are interested will drop by and be friends with me.

Thank you all for continuing on this journey with me!

Julie

  3. I think the answer to almost any serious question probably should begin with, “It’s complicated…”, because we are, or should be, very complicated people! As an individual, I can “write” the same story for myself over and over again and still be excited by it. But that doesn’t mean any audience would want to hear me repeat myself. Thanks for finding a way to always keep it fresh, interesting, and arousing!

    1. I actually don't blog about all our spankings and such, as it becomes repetitive. It bores me to blog it if I've blogged similar several times already, but it never bores me to have it happen.

  6. I think you are finally ready for the ultimate humiliation, being a spanked cuckquean. As I previously commented on your blog, my husband cuckqueans me with my much prettier sister. When she is coming over I must be in an extremely small French maid dress and have her favorite drink waiting. I must remove her high heels and massage her feet as she and my husband sit on the couch kissing and fondling. Then as a warmup for sex that is better than with me, they bend me over the couch and take turns spanking me with my own hairbrush. They head to our bedroom and I must stand outside the door, listening to them, tears running down my face and my neglected sex on fire. I see something like this in your future. Timmie Jo.

  9. I think that after a blogger has been here for a while, readers come to read what you have to say - spanker or spankee, I don't think they care that much. I think many get caught up in our story. As our story changes as we charge through life, the blog is bound to change too. Mine has been almost an online diary of my time involved in TTWD.

    "All of us bloggers are at least a little bit pageview whores..." You're right here, but we still have to blog for ourselves or it's just not fun anymore. So just go for it! Top or bottom share your story and we'll come along for the ride.

  13. Welcome to the club! I've been a switch most of my adult life. I only converted to bottom-only with Mrs. Lion. It was the right decision. As long as you get aroused by spanking David, you are in no danger of being exclusively a bottom.

    Like you, I care about my visitor count. I'm less invested in pageviews. Your bottom tendencies are no secret. They leak out over the years. It's true that most bloggers never make it to five years, much less ten. I love reading your blog and look for new posts every day.

    Our blog is more of a journal. It records a lot of changes in our lives. I'm sure that costs us readers. Oh well. It's just an ego thing to care about that. We don't make any money from our blog. It's an expense.

    I look forward to sharing your adventures! Good luck!

  24. We never tire of looking at this photo where we see the real finger of your real husband showing us your real red ass that has just really been given a spanking, the exhibited ass of the "spanked wife" that you have become. This new reality is dizzyingly (or simply?) real.
    That you chose, by showing this photo, to humiliate yourself, only increases this humiliation. Imagine your shame when you meet the eyes of someone who has seen this photo (and therefore your real "face").

  25. How humiliating for a subbie. There is no lower status than to be dominated by a real-life "spanked wife".
    Besides, she can always threaten to call her husband for help!

  26. Ms. Julie

    Interesting transformation.

    My first experience was as a spanker at a very tender age and my first sexual encounter of any type. It was wildly erotic, followed by other kinds of touching, and confusing for me, and I think for Martha - but I never saw her again (one of those beach vacation things).

    The next two attempts, years later, were unsuccessful and embarrassing for me to have shown interest.

    When I met Irene, I mentioned my interest. She told me she would be fine with spanking me but would never be on the receiving end. (Like you, she’d had been a victim of, in her words, being “essentially raped”.

    40 plus years later, Irene is quite the enthusiastic dominatrix. I’ve lost any interest in the top end, but maybe with another woman it would have been different.

    Best,

    Rosco

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Keep an open mind. Irene, like me, might just discover that her distaste for being dominated by a man has vanished thanks to being so empowered from spanking you over the years.

      Delete
    2. I will keep an open mind but won't hold my breath.

      To the extent I engage in dominant fantasies, I imagine alternately spanking a bratty woman and licking her pussy - but not to the point of orgasm. Then I would make her get dressed, putting on a shortish skirt or dress sans panties and we'd go out to a party or on the town.

      She'd be hot and bothered to the point where she was scarcely able to engage socially. When we got home, I'd finish with the pussy licking and fuck her silly.

  28. interesting, but how come you turned from this really dominant wife that kept her husband strict and spanked to this submissive?

    Replies
    1. With being on top it was always roleplay for us (though often realistic roleplay, playing ourselves and in our real-life day-to-day situations. I coined the phrase "Scening FLR" to describe it. IN rela-life, we were always more equal, with him often taking the lead on things and me liking it that way. He repressed his urge to spank me for many years, and redirected to the bottom. However, it slowly grew in me this desire to play on the bottom. The graph shows it well! Now I find what really turns me on is adding the element of a real-life spanked wife to the mix.

  29. The ironic thing is you seem to be a more 'mean ' (in a good way!) and effective Domme when you do it then you were even just 2 or 3 years ago.Perhaps its the revived libido from discovering this part of yourself, perhaps a desire from some (mostly play but I'm sure he goofs up sometimes as a top and needs a takedown) revenge, perhaps a bit of gratitude at David for helping you along the way, maybe you want to give him the same delicious pain and pleasure sensations you are feeling or maybe a mixture of all 4 but it is always nice to see you two happy. So many of these blogs about kinky relationships never even get to the 'happy and pleased' with things stage, at least for both partners. You both seem enthusiastic. Anyway, it's ironic, but I fear you (in the good shivery way I like) as a Domme more than ever so you'll always be Strict Julie to me even when your sexy butt is shaking and wobbling and all welted in a corner because naughty little Julie came out and had too much fun :)

  32. What would you estimate your spanking ratio is nowadays? We know you don't blog about every spanking given. But is it close to your subby-to-dommy post ratio (roughly 65% Julie spanked vs. 35% David spanked)?

    But in any event it has been a joy watching you evolve from one of the spankosphere's most prolific dommes to a spanked subbie wife. Thanks for sharing with us and allowing some of us repressed folk to live out some of our fantasies at least vicariously.

  38. I have totally enjoyed reading about your games of spanking and dominating your husband. It is a rare treat to find since I believe that male spanking female is much more prevalent.
    Certainly I developed my interests in spanking reading about women being spanked. I spanked my wife for many years and never really considered that she might spank me. I think that reading your blog was influential in my developing into my role as a submissive, belt whipped husband now.
    So, I am disappointed that there will be less stories of Julie spanking, but totally understand the switch and will always enjoy reading about you being spanked.
    These days when I read or watch a video about a woman being spanked I just wish that I was her, including having a hot sexy body.

By the way, I'm wondering what's going on with you and Mr. Stevens. Perhaps you could post an interim progress report on negotiations or whatever is happening at this stage. Thanks. - Frank

  46. Lovely to read how you have adapted to the spanked wife, as opposed to the strict wife. I had mentioned and seen that many years ago, and now you are acknowledging it. Bravo! I started life wanting to be the spanker, but quickly learned that if spanking occurred in our married life, I would be the one being spanked. I have enjoyed this role immensely. A woman (Danielle) started by being the spanked wife, but reached out to me during the Spankedhubby blogspot(18 years ago) that I had, and after chatting for awhile on line, she became the spanker, which totally fit her demeanor, and her husband john, came to truly enjoy being the spanked husband. we have now visited and stayed with them In Holland on two occasions, and share a wonderful friendship. So, if ever you want to meet, and as couples we become compatible, then Cindy could spank me, while David spanks you.
    Keep on enjoying life
