I have just discovered Siffredi Late Night – Hard Academy on Netflix and, as it is quite the bonkersest thing I’ve seen in a long time, I have to share it with you. Made in 2016, this is an Italian reality TV in which veteran porn actor Rocco Siffredi decides that what the world truly…

Shrove Teas-Day
It’s Shrove Tuesday! A day in the liturgical calendar dedicated apparently to self-examination, confession and spiritual growth. It’s also (being day the before Ash Wednesday) when one finishes up any indulgent foodstuffs in the house before embarking on forty days of Lenten self-deprivation. But for godless heathens like me who plan to make no sacrifices…
Fifty Shades of Barely OK
It is exactly six years since the release of the first Fifty Shades of Grey film. Back then I was a regular reviewer (under my real name) on the excellent MostlyFilm.com. I reviewed the Fifty Shades films as Etta Stark though and became the sites first (and only) official Spanking Correspondent. Sadly Mostly Film has…
The Obvious Use for a Fly Swatter
I recently left a review for a fly swatter on Amazon. This is a heavy duty flyswatter described by the sellers as having a “high quality thick and flexible leather slapper and durable beech wood handle”. It is, they tell us, “much more effective than the cheap flimsy plastic swatters – fly swat is heavy…
Bonding: Ten reasons why Tiff is a terrible Dominatrix
Netflix’s Bonding returns tomorrow for a new season! BDSM-related comedy dramas are a bit thin on the ground in mainstream media so Rightor Doyle’s kink-themed TV series, based on his own experiences as Dominatrix’s assistant, was always going to be on my watch list. I’ve just re-watched the first season and a comment made in…
Spanking new spanking book! ‘A Different Kind of Hero’
If it seems like I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, that’s because (a) I have and (b) I have been busy finishing and publishing my latest book. A Different Kind of Hero is quite sweet as BDSM romance books go. It’s certainly the most consensual spanking novel I have written. It’s still jam-packed…
Long-distance Shenanigans
Back in May last year, I was contemplating buying a Vibease Smart Massager. I am clearly a woman of swift and decisive action, because a mere eight months later, I have bought the thing. The decision that my life needs a internet-enabled long-distance vibrator in it, has been somewhat influenced by ongoing Covid restrictions. Over…
Shitty old year. Happy new year?
Happy New Year, everybody! Yesterday, we – finally! – got to tell 2020 to fuck off forever and not let the door hit its arse on the way out. It has – and I’m being remarkably restrained here – been a fucking shitshow of a year. Will 2021 be any better? We’re still locked down…
Adventy Adventures in Tea Drinking – Week 4
It’s Christmas Eve! And that means every single one of my Bird and Blend Teabag Advent windows is now open! That’s how close to Christmas we are, people! It’s been great fun counting down the days until Christmas with tea different kinds of tea. I look forward to doing it all again next year. This…
Adventy Adventures in Tea Drinking – Week 3
This has been a wonderful week in tea-drinking adventures. Not least because Tuesday December 15th was the day I got to experience Butter Brew tea which I am pretty confident includes actual magic in its ingredients list. Poppin’ Xmas Butter Toffee Before we go any further with this review there is something that needs to…
