I love British spanking movies of the eighties and nineties and I've spent the last few years delving into their history. I started this blog to share my interest and what I've learned about it.

Can you help me find a movie? I have been able to finding a few of the Kane I've been searching for with the help of two readers but there are still several others that I'm trying to find. These include Take Three Girls, The French Maid (aka The French Maid's Flogging), Stripe Me Pink, Housewives Choice and The Real Business. Please leave a comment if you know where I might be able to find any of these.

Girls Spanked Hard

Girls Spanked Hard
http://www.girlsspankedhard.com/

I intended to write this post nearly 2 months ago but I stopped when I realized that the site wouldn't be posting any new updates for awhile.  I waited six weeks to see what would happen and then I made the decision to go ahead with the post.  But, when I went to the site to get the URL for the header, I found that new material had been posted just a few hours previously.  Another 10 days have passed since then and I think the time has come to go ahead with this post.

I would like to give Girls Spanked Hard a glowing recommendation but the fact is that I do have some serious reservations.  Let's start with the glowing recommendation since that's more fun to write.  If I could only have one spanking website then Girls Spanked Hard would probably be the one I would pick.  One of  the things I like about this site is that it doesn't pretended to be anything other than what it is.  It isn't a girls school or a prison for women; its a spanking fetish site.  The site currently posts videos of 8 models (so far, 2 have appeared twice) who receive severe, but not brutal, spankings with a variety of different implements.  The spanking certainly aren't as severe as those on Mood Pictures (which I find too much to watch) but they are more severe than most of those on RealSpankings because they go on much longer.

Each of the models is spanked for a predetermined period of time which may be as much as 120 minutes.  Most of the models seems to be spanking subs but a couple appear to be doing it solely for the money.  The spankings usually begin with an OTK hand spanking which is followed by 5 minute (usually) spankings with each of a variety of different implements including belts, straps, paddles, canes and whips.  The models usually begin fully clothed but they are completely naked by the end.  The setting is simple, and it might legitimately be described as low budget since the scenes look like they might have been filmed in someone's basement.  Otherwise, the technical quality is good and each scene is filmed from several camera angles which are edited together without repetition (I like to see the model's face when she reacts to the punishments while close ups of her backside don't do much for me).  The sound is also very good.

My favorite models to date are Brina and Devin (although I also liked Sophie's two sessions) and in both cases it is the interaction between the spanker and spankee that really 'makes' the video for me.  Most scenes begin with a discussion of the implement, which is something that I usually like.  For example, Devin's "Leather Strapping with Black Strap" begins with with a conversation about the strap called 'Big Daddy' which includes her exclamation "Big Daddy is going to give me a spanking".  Next it is mentioned that her ankles are tied so that she can't squirm around to which she responds "Now I'm really screwed".  That exchange alone would have made this scene worth watching for me but the strapping that follows is every bit as good.

The most recent installments include a pre-spanking interview, which I like, and I'm hoping that there will also be a post-spanking interview but that remains to be seen.

So why do I have reservations?  Girls Spanked Hard is a subscription site that has a history of long gaps between updates.  The site history goes back to April 2009 and since then there have been nine periods of a month or more without an update, the longest gap being July 20 to Nov. 7, 2010, although the gaps have often been followed by a large update.  In June of this year (2011) the site announced they had implemented a new system that would allow frequent upgrades.  This was the case for the following few months but in September there was an announcement that updates would be suspended due to storm damage and other unidentified factors. There were no updates for seven weeks until a large update was posted at the end of October (10 days ago as I write this).  These long gaps between updates are a concern when the subscription fee is charged by the month and I'm hoping that this most recent gap isn't a sign of more to come.

My other concern is that some of the series seem to be incomplete.  The Brina scenes were posted between May 30/09 and June 17/10 but I'm not sure that all of her scenes have been posted.  For a long time the website listed two segments that had yet to be posted but those 'future' links were removed when the website was redesigned.  Now, the Brina scenes listed on the website include 'Finale #3' but Finale #1 and #2 are nowhere to be found and I'm not sure if they will ever be posted.

I'll end the way I started, if I could only have one website then Girls Spanked Hard would be the one I would pick but I would do so with reservations because I concerned about whether I can depend on updates being posted in a timely manner.  There are signs of improvement but the jury is still out.
