Art - Auntie's Aftercare

"Auntie's Aftercare"

From Merciless Mommies to Authoritarian Aunties!

Most folks know that I'm generally mostly a fan of 'not nice' spankings. That means, spankings that aren't especially 'playful', at least from the point of view of the spankee. A spanking for the spankee's pleasure or enjoyment is a turn-off for me in general. Go figure.

On the other hand, I kinda love the idea of post-spanking 'aftercare', like the sort of thing depicted here!

Here we see a young man who has clearly been soundly hairbrushed. His bottom is aflame; throbbing, hot and very sore indeed. But now that the spanking is over, he is being kindly attended to by his spanker, in a very different role from the one she'd just played as his disciplinarian!

As betrayed by the title, I already had a scenario in mind when I made this piece. She's his Aunt, or perhaps surrogate 'Aunt' (the sort of 'call me Auntie, sweetheart' pretty friend of his mother who makes a hormonal boy's tummy flutter and his pants tighten!). She's just spanked him soundly. But now she's showing him how 'caring' she can be when he's a "good boy" for her, and has him back across her lap for some welcome aftercare and attention!

Why was he spanked? Perhaps he's staying with her for the weekend (or school break?) and has broken a rule, only to discover that unlike Mommy, Auntie smacks bottoms when boys are naughty! Or perhaps she spanked him just because she COULD spank him? With a cute bottom like his, Auntie was just itching to smack him and any excuse (even "It's how I welcome boys to my house, darling"!) would suffice. Or perhaps, if she's indeed a 'surrogate' Auntie (or a very, very naughty one!), she's perhaps even been indulging in some bedroom play with the young man, with his spanking either for her own pleasure as foreplay, or post-coital punishment for failing to measure up to her expected standards! At least all seems forgiven now...

"I know it hurts, sweetie," she'd coo as he whimpers and winces in response to her patting and rubbing, "but Auntie has to spank you hard when you're naughty."

Despite the severity of the spanking (and it was a severe one I think!) the aftercare itself is tender and soothing. Cold, oily cream dolloped on hot red flesh and massaged in with firm, neatly-manicured fingers. The kneading and squeezing of his poor tender buttocks may be rather painful, but it's for his own good, after all! Once properly creamed, he'll be dusted with talcum powder in a childish but caring fashion, the end result like sugar sprinkled atop a wobbly raspberry jelly! Tissues are on hand to clean up any excess lotion, to help try his tears or blow his nose ("Here, blow for Auntie, dear") or perhaps even to mop up any naughty boy 'excitement' if he responds a little too emotionally to his 'aftercare' at her hands!

For his facial expression, I originally wanted to have him sucking his thumb in a very childish manner, but then decided that I wanted to see his mouth formed in a distinctive, round little "oooooh" of gasping, grateful relief despite his tears, as his burning hot buttocks are cooled and soothed by the lotion that's been applied. A kind of eyes closed, mixed-emotions "oooooh, it hurts" but also "ooooh, that feels soooo good, Auntie" expression! Make sense? I hope so!

As for 'Auntie' herself, it's clear from her expression (I hope) that she's pleased with the results of her handiwork, both with the hairbrush and with her lotion and talc. She's most happy and rather entranced with the state of the boy's "yummy red botty" now, or at least that's my intent. Certainly she's having delicious thoughts about what to do with it - and him - next...

The lotion itself? You can't really make out the jar, so I'll have to post a close-up sometime, but it's the amazing "Sissybuns Sore Botty Lotion" that's been used to ease his sting and burn! This fictional brand - and product - may see future use in another art piece or post, too, as it's very popular among those who find themselves frequently spanked and in need of relief!

While usually I think the notion of 'aftercare' is unsuitable for spankings where a lesson needs to really sink in - a boy should be forbidden rubbing and made to endure the burning and stinging without relief, whether as part of corner time or otherwise - the power of an aftercare session can show forgiveness and mend a relationship with the spanker (for example, if the spanking was for offending the spanker, aftercare can say "you're forgiven" in a very tangible way). It can remind the spankee that although the spanking hurt, they are still cared for. It also, perhaps less obviously, has an element of power to it; by soothing a sore bottom they caused, a spanker is saying "See? I can make your bottom feel nice, or I can make it hot and sore... which it is will depend on your behavior, young man!"

Of course, 'aftercare' can also form part of a more sensual and erotic post-spanking enjoyment session for parties in that kind of relationship, too!

On a final note, just because my original scenario portrays this as 'Auntie', there's no reason beside the title that she couldn't be his Stepmommy or even his older girlfriend/wife...

What do you think, though? And what do you think of 'aftercare' scenarios in general?

I'd like to take this chance to thank my friend Seegee (the writer who contributes wonderful stories to Aunty Andrea's awesome blog) for partly inspiring this artwork. He's described spanked bottoms as resembling "raspberry jellies" on a few occasions, and I am sure it was he who at least once described a spanked bottom dusted with talc as a "wobbly raspberry jelly dusted with sugar", which is a delightfully kinky mental image! More importantly, though, the whole 'aftercare' scenario, while far from original or unique to his tales or my own fantasies, was sparked for me in part by several such (shamefully heretical!) scenes in his stories, such as the intensely erotic account of poor Tiffany's post-spanking "creaming" in 'The Spank Shop #4'. That description of "ripe strawberries dusted with sugar" certainly fits my imagined state of the poor boy's botty in this art piece!

Oh, and I also read 'The Spank Shop #16' for the first time the other day and realized that my idea for the boy's face in this art piece is pretty close to how poor Karen's post-spanking, gratefully-allowed-to-rub expression that's described as "eyes closed, lips open and an expression of ecstasy on her tear-streaked face" is a pitch perfect match for my own boy's imagined "soothed with cream" face as well!
