Spanking Dublin

    Hi all,

    I'm a 29 yo gay lad and I've been living in Ireland for a few years. Although I've already got an idea on how things work in this area, I'd also like to ask here what do you guys think about the spanking.

    I know this is quite an unusual fetish for most of the Irish and the spanking scene in Ireland is not that developed. I wouldn't even say there is any spanking culture (which is fair enough, loads of other cities are not). Not that I'm trying to invite you for a spanking session (lol), but is any of you into this? If so, where do you find people who share this fetish? I'd be pretty curious as I can see spanking is pretty silent across Dublin (and probably the whole country).

    Just in case anyone asks "What's so interesting about it?" (Ireland is probably the only place where I got this question on several occasions), all I can say is that I connect with the partner in a completely different way than doing it throughout the regular sex and simply gives different vibes.

    Looking forward to your thoughts! :)

    What?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    The walls in new builds are too thin. It puts off budding spankers. A generation of spankers has been lost through poor building standards.

    As someone who wavers in and out of those subcultures (a few of my Dublin friends organise events), I would not say there's a 'culture', I guess if you mean an organised group of sorts. I'd recommend you to maybe take a look on specific social networks like Recon or Fetlife which cater more to that end of things, Nimhneach is another night (all genders/sexuality) which caters to that end of things. Beyond that, I don't know what I can say here!

    What do I think about it? I think it's more common then you think, but it is of course an interest that people are less publically vocal about, for obvious reasons!

    Thanks! :)

    I didn't necessarily mean an organised group (wouldn't rule that out either), it's mainly the idea of whether people are or not into it and if it's common at all to be done either privately (which is my main thing) or throughout different events.

    Been on Fetlife for a while, haven't gotten too far. Been on Recon, didn't get anywhere at all. Been on spankthishookups.com and got in touch with a very polite user however I'd also like to find users a bit more around my age.

    Oh well, guess I didn't end up in the right city :)

    A flight to the UK is never too expensive and you are much more likely to find a community there. I don't know if it's the population difference or a different attitude towards it. Ireland has an awkward attitude to this sort of stuff sometimes.

    I thought that Nimhneach night didnt happen at all anymore. You rarely hear about it.

    I think they are keen to keep to themselves and only reach out to the target audience, particularly after the Graham Dwyer tragedy where people were getting confused as to what is reasonable and consensual and what is coercion.
