Walking Up - Ten Years Later

Walking Up By Otkforu

Prologue

This past Dec 29th marked the 10th anniversary of my first communication with Lori. Of course, back then I didn't know her as Lori, since the name she used to contact me was Anna. I was slightly more than one year removed from a divorce and my friend Larry had given me as an early holiday present, software for an online service called Prodigy.

I had seen Prodigy in action on my friend Larry's computer and I thought it might serve as a way to help me to focus on other things in life, and take my mind off of my troubles. It had been one month prior that I had gotten my first computer. It was a Tandy computer with a mammoth 40MB hard drive. That's a right folk; I said Mega byte, not Gigabyte. My first modem allowed me to enjoy a speedy 2400bps connection and I was off and running. I visited some of the Prodigy bulletin boards and enjoyed the online banter. I spent most of my online time at various Pets bulletin boards and also just explored all that Prodigy had to offer. One day, I decided to search for spanking. I couldn't find much out there, but I did stumble across an area that was called the "Support Groups" Bulletin board. It was there that I posted my first ever note about spanking. I called the post, "Strange Desires." I remember saying that there was something that I enjoyed, that most people would not enjoy. I was too shy and nervous to say what it was, so I invited anyone who wanted to know, to Email me. I got several Emails and when I said I was into spanking, all of the folks who had emailed me seemed to be very understanding of what I liked, even if they themselves didn't have an interest in it. Then, one fine day this guy Emails me and says, "Hey, you should check out the Frank Discussions Bulletin Board. The things they talk about there even make me blush." So, I did a search and found the "Frank Discussions Bulletin Board." I remember that this part of the Prodigy service had a disclaimer warning of adult content. After accepting the warning, I entered and immediately did a word search for "spanking."

I found many posts there from people who said they were into spanking. I was feeling nothing short of exhilaration. It was so exciting to see that other people actually shared this interest in spanking. I was absolutely spellbound. I didn't believe that people ever met in real life for spanking play, and figured hot Email was going to be as good as it would get. It was late December, a few days before New Years Eve when I posted my first-ever spanking message. I remember that I called the subject, "Spanking Corner," which was the title of a spanking column I had discovered as a teenage boy in a newspaper called "Candid Press." I hadn't realized it at the time, but I was about to embark on a journey that would forever change my life.


Part 1

It had been another fun-filled day at the office and I was happy to be home. It was a cold - winter evening, the temperature hovering near the freezing mark. I had just arrived home and was sitting by my computer as it booted up. My heart was pounding in my chest as I began to log on to the Prodigy Service. I heard the sounds of the modem shaking hands with the Prodigy computers and I was online. I stared at the screen and the New Mail sign was all lit up. I had new email!

I was hoping to see the name Lisa Pazzinni there. Lisa was a 19-year-old girl who had replied to one of my posts on the Prodigy Frank Discussions Bulletin Board. She had told me that even at her advanced age, her father still spanked her. And not only did he still spank her, but that he spanked her bare- bottomed. And what was even better was the fact that Lisa was local to me, living just on the other side of the George Washington Bridge. Yes, I wanted very much to hear from Lisa again. I was disappointed to see the name Anna Rodriguez in my mailbox. I didn't know who this person was and I really didn't care to. I only wanted Lisa but Lisa wasn't in my mailbox that cold December evening. So, since Anna was there, I opened her message.

It was the evening of Dec 29, 1992 and her message was simple. She was replying to my "Spanking Corner," post and she said that she would like to speak with me, via Email only. No public replies! I wrote to her and we started an Email relationship. I couldn't stand her. She was nasty and seemed to play head games all the time. No matter what I said, she had to find fault with it. She simply wasn't very nice and I wanted Lisa!

After doing my best to get along with Anna, it soon became apparent to me that I would have to end things with her. I flamed her online (I didn't know it was called flaming back then) and told her to leave me alone. I thought I had finally gotten rid of her, when a few days after the New Year, she wrote to me again, only this time, she told me her real name, and that she didn't live in Maryland, and that she was married. She said that she liked me and she didn't know how to react to me, since liking me wasn't anything she bargained for when she first replied to my post. She lived in NY and was local to me, which also served to make her feel very nervous about being too nice to me. We quickly grew close and over the next four months shared a lot about our lives together. I suppose it would be accurate to say that we fell in love online. I soon forgot all about Lisa.

I begged and pleaded with her to meet me, but she refused. She kept promising me that we'd meet in June, but June seemed like a lifetime away, but there was nothing I could about it. I kept asking her and finally, we had our first date. It was my first time ever out on a date with a woman who was into spanking. They say that you always remember your first, whatever that first thing is. Your first ballgame, your first love, your first mother-in-law, OK, many of us try to forget that but you get the idea. Your first ANYTHING is special and in many instances it serves to determine whether or not you will continue to maintain interest in that given endeavor. . I wanted very badly for my first spanking date to go well. Not really for me per se, but for Lori. I very much wanted to make her happy.

What will follow are the events leading up to that first date, as well as the date itself. This May 8 will be the 10th anniversary of that first spanking date and I hope you will enjoy reading and sharing this experience with me.


Part 2

It now had been over four months since I first met Lori out in cyber space. Each and every day I would find new reasons why she should meet me, yet she always found a reason why she couldn't. This is not to say that we didn't have some real time contact. I had given her my address and she would send me "surprise packages" via snail mail. All this did was to strengthen my resolve to meet her before June.

There was a certain magic I felt whenever we spoke on the phone. Oh, we did that a lot. We would be hours on the phone night after night. Our online life was pretty enjoyable too. We would post on the Prodigy bulletin board where there was a role-playing thread ongoing. We made many online friends and I would look forward with great eagerness to signing on again and venturing into that magical land of spank school. It was back then that I first invented the character of Janitor Steve. Yes, things were going pretty well. I found out that there weren't two guarantees in life, but three. The first two I already knew about: death and taxes. The other one which I came to learn was "Lori will not meet Steven until June."

One day in late April, I was trying to talk Lori into meeting me. This became a most frustrating, yet addictive hobby for me. I made my best pitch and it took me a few minutes to regain consciousness after she actually said OK. We had our date planned now for May 8, 1993. Here is where things got interesting.


While on the phone with Lori, she informed me that during her childhood, she had a very bad experience on an elevator and was unable to ride in them. It should be noted here that I live in a co-op, and I reside on the 20th floor. I told Lori that I knew she was simply being a brat, but she remained steadfast. I decided to make Lori a deal. I told her to post to our online friends her side of the story and then I would post that if I had to walk up 20 flights of stairs, that I'd probably die of a massive heart attack. (OK, I admit that I was being a bit melodramatic there, but I didn't want to walk while there were two elevators available). Lori posted a thread on the bulletin board that due to a bad childhood experience, she was unable to ride in elevators. I posted that I didn't believe that Lori had any elevator phobia and in fact, she was just being her loveable bratty self. Of course, this was met with strong opposition from Lori who continued to insist that she could not ride in an elevator and that I'd have to walk with her up the stairs to my place. I knew that I had to put a stop to this insanity, so I did what any self-respecting spanker would have done; I posted a retort to her claim of an elevator phobia.

I figured all my DOM friends would support me, after all, would they want my death on their hands? Besides, I figured us TOPS had to stick together. So, I waited for the people to respond. Lori's bratty friends were the first to reply. No great surprise there, they were all on her side. 'Oh Steven, you have to be a gentleman and walk with her," was on reply. Another one went something like, "You can't let her walk up the stairs alone. What if someone is lurking there and hurts her." I bided my time. Finally, a few of my fellow spankers posted and they were ALL ON LORI'S SIDE. I was crestfallen and shocked beyond belief. I simply could not believe it. Finally, after dozen's of pro-Lori posts, one guy (who is a fairly regular poster to this Newsgroup) posts that "If Lori really loves Steven as much as she says she does, then she won't want to try and make him walk up those stairs, if he says that doing so could cause him harm." Finally, someone agreed with me!! I was doing the dance of joy. Then, two minutes later he is back, saying that he had given it some more thought and had decided that I should walk Lori up the stairs. It had been a landslide. A total shut out. I was going to walk up the stairs

One week prior to our meeting, I did a test run to the Pet shop where we were going to meet. The name of the place was Mutts and Butts and of course, I just loved the name. I decided to take a test drive there, because I didn't want to get lost and be late for that first date. I was able to find the place and then I felt better. Lori told me that night that she had been walking past the parking lot, and saw me pull up. I had mentioned to her that I was going to make a test run there, so Lori saw me, but I never saw her, nor would I probably have known it was her even if she had walked right in front of me. That was May 1. The following week seemed like a year.

Finally, May 8 arrived. I drove out to Mutts and Butts and I'll never forget what happened. I arrived on time, parked my car and noticed another car there. I knew it was Lori. I watched as she got out of her car and I found my heart in my throat. It was one of those magical moments. I kissed her and if I had loved her before, I loved her more at that moment. Then, we went on our date. We went to the New York Aquarium and had a wonderful time. During the ride home, Lori kept directing me to drive on some of the busiest roads in the city. Yes, she was being a real brat. Finally, we arrive at my building.

The time had come for me to walk the stairs. Lori was very much into aerobics and I was very much in to my remote controls. So, she ran up the stairs, while I followed her. To amuse myself during the climb, I swatted her butt as she wiggled it in front of me. Lori only had to give me CPR and jump-start my heart twice. After that, I was able to make it all the way to the top.

After opening the front door, I almost collapsed on my sofa. Lori looks at me and suggests that I sign on to Prodigy to see if there were any new posts. Of course, I did as she had requested. I see a new post and click on it to read it. Lori stands up and walks behind me, looking over my shoulder at the monitor. I read the following: "Hi Steven. I am standing behind you looking over your shoulder as you are reading this. You see, I knew you could make it up the stairs. I'd like to thank all of our friends for going along with me on this joke." It seemed that Lori had emailed our friends prior to her posting and she told them that she was only joking and that she would never make me really walk up the stairs. I really began to laugh, and then, I took her straight over my lap. I was about to give my first ever spanking to an adult who I had met online and who I knew really loved to be spanked. I was petrified because I didn't want to do anything wrong to ruin things. I spanked her very gently until she turned around and said, "wimp." That was my signal that I could spank her a bit harder and I did.

I asked her permission if I could lift her dress and she said yes. I spanked her for what seemed like forever on the seat of her panties, until she finally turned and looked over her shoulders at me and said, "I must be very red." I smiled at her and said, "Well, there is only one way I can now that for sure," to which she replied, "It's OK." At that moment I remember looking up at the ceiling and saying, "Thanks to whoever invented the modem!" I slowly lowered Lori's panties and them proceeded to give her a good sound spanking. After the spanking, we had some very special moments that I feel are best kept private. There would be many more of those moments ahead.


Epilogue

They say that you always remember your first and this was very true of my very first spanking date. Ten years later Lori and I still keep in touch with each other and still care about each other. Life sometimes makes it not possible for people to marry, but the special times we shared and the love and caring we continue to have for one another are probably stronger than those found in many marriages. This May 8 will mark ten years since that very first date. It will be a day that I will experience many emotions. And then life will go on.
