Marital Strokes

‘Marital Strokes’ is a 23-minute movie made by Cavern Spanking on August 9th, 1993, according to the CalStar release.  To the best of my knowledge, 'Marital Strokes' was never included in any Moonglow North compilation but it was released in the US by CalStar combined with an unrelated movie called ‘The Cheating Housewife’.  ‘Marital Strokes’ features Cavern & Moonglow North regulars Alison Payne and Joe Stewart.  The movie is currently available on several video on demand services such as www.hotmovies.com.

The set up to the movie is very simple; Joe catches his schoolgirl sister-in-law, Alison, with a joint and he threatens to tell her sister.  Alison begs him not to and she says (with a smile on her face) “why don’t you spank me like you spank her”.  He immediately accepts that suggestion and, 75 seconds after the movie begins, she is over the back of a chair and the hand spanking continues.  After a minute or so of this her skirt comes off and he takes her over his knee.  Another couple of minutes of hand spanking follows, along with some erotic banter that seems out of place in the scenario, before her panties come down and the hand spanking continues.

Nine minutes into the movie, Joe has Alison lie on the couch and put her into the diaper position but the camera position is less than ideal.  Three more minutes of hand spanking follows before Joe decides that he isn’t having much effect so he tells Alison he is going to use “one of her sister’s toys’.  Alison suggests the “one with the strings” so Joe sends her upstairs to get it.  There is fade out before she returns in one of her sister’s outfits and carrying a long cane (with no strings attached).  Joe has her bend over a chair and 12 hard strokes follow, along with a brief glimpse of the cameraman’s hand in the edge of the frame.  Next, she kneels on the couch and Joe pulls down her panties before giving her another 12 strokes.  Then her bra comes off and she kneels on the chair for a third dozen.  Finally, she’s back of the couch for two last strokes.  The movie ends with Joe and Alison sitting on the couch and talking about future punishment sessions.

This is an early Cavern film and that shows.  There are technical issues; the set is sparse, the camera positions and framing are poor, the sound is sometimes muffled and there is some wind noise.  These problems are aggravated by the fact that the video tape had obviously started to demagnitize before it was converted to digital.  But the biggest problem is that those involved in making the movie don’t seem to have known what type of movie they wanted to make.  The title suggests a domestic discipline story but it starts out as more of a schoolgirl or father/daughter story and then it turns into more of an erotic discipline movie.  There are moments in this movie that are worth seeing but those involved would go on to make much better movies in the future.
