It seems that everyone wants to launch their sites in the middle of the Spanking Awards every year thus denying your Humble Narrator the opportunity to review them until February. Alas this year is
no different and of course I was indeed not surprised when my Dear Friend Kyle Johnson pinged me stating that he finally started his own spanking site. As always I verbally lambasted him for not thinking of your Humble Narrator’s schedule and of course promised him I would take a look at his brand spanking new Spanking site as soon as I was able. Tonight Dear Reader still sore from shoveling an ungodly amount of snow I am of course able.
Now I have a little confession to make Dear Reader. Like any book or movie reviewer I try to maintain my objectivity. After all you might not agree with me, but I would hope that at the least you think me honest. Unlike a book and movie reviewer who can count on yet another knucklehead
to make another bad form of media to pan. I actually want these sites to succeed. I want them to succeed for a healthy number of spanking sites will not only increase the number of girls in this world getting spanked. But will ultimately be good for you Dear Reader.
Thus, particularly when a new owner approaches me to review a site, I do mention to him or her some of the things that I would ding their site on and if they fix it I do not of course mention it. If a site violates one of my cardinal rules that would make me seethe in my over important sense of self I generally decline to review it since I feel at the very least I cannot in good faith tell you Dear Reader a site is good when it is indeed not.
This was one of those times. You see Dear Reader, when I went eagerly to peruse the site I found one glaring issue that violated almost everything I have preached all these years about. There was no way to download a video! This to me is the sin above all sin’s It says to me, that although I pay
a price to view ones material I cannot watch it unless I continue to pay a price. To me that is simply unacceptable and indeed should be to you Dear Reader.
Well needless to say I mentioned this to my friend Kyle who to his credit pointed out like many that they have had issues with piracy and in turn made it not so obvious how to download a video but it was very possible. Now I am not saying he is wrong Dear Reader, Piracy is indeed a problem for our site owners. But I will maintain that if you take reasonable precautions to keep it off the obvious places the only people who will be pirating your material are those who wouldn’t pay for it under any circumstance and have all the tools at their disposal not to. Thus my friend and I had a adult, reasonable discussion where he graciously offered to correct this (in my eyes) heresy. Which I was overjoyed at because I can now give a fucking glowing review of Disciplinary Arts!
Site Offerings and Cost
Disciplinary Arts is solely a movie site. No helpful pictures for Yours Truly to grab and display of their wonderful material. From the timestamps offered in the updates Disciplinary Arts appears to have been launched and started doing regular updates in late December making it the newest addition to our spanking community.
Interestingly it launches with the most material than any site in my long and woeful memory. As of this writing it sports 88 full length spanking videos which might I add is quite impressive. The sample of downloads I pulled were all over the place from being 7 minutes long to a delightful 30 plus minutes long. For simplicity sake since I pulled them at random lets say half of them are each. That would leave a prospective customer with over 27 HOURS of spanking goodness. Probably the largest amount of material that has ever launched with a new site.
Once you are done with that, You can look forward to a new full video 3 times a week. No fiddling
with parts, just a full length video 3 times a week! Considering how long these things are I have no idea how he is going to keep up, unless he has a large supply of naughty girls.
Costs are a high running at $34.95 per month for a single month signup, reminiscent of European sites. That cost drops to a more reasonable $25 Per month for a 5 month signup. While I do acknowledge the costs are higher than one expects from an American Site, I would argue due to the startup costs and the amount of material it is at the very least fair.
So at its most expensive, one can expect a little more than $1.25 per hour of spanking. Quite impressive for such a young site. This spanking to dollar ratio I expect to drop dramatically due to Kyle’s eye bleeding update speed. In fact if he keeps it up it could become one of the cheapest dollar to spanking ratio’s on the internet!
The Girls
I have been following Mr Johnson since he came on the scene. While he has been controversial he has a knack of being an equal opportunity spanker. While he does have some stars of the spanking world like Kat St James (his former significant other), Sarah Gregory and Stevie Rose. But like many of you I am also indeed interested in some of the other girls he ends up having to spank. For that I am quite impressed! For anyone interested in a body type or personality one can find them spanked here. But take not my word for it Dear Reader see for yourself.
Scenes, Outfits, Film Quality and of course the Spankings.
Now I wouldn’t typically mention this, But Kyle claims that anything marked as “Real Disciplinarian
Spanking” are unpaid girls who came to him to be spanked for their misdeeds. At first I was rather skeptical since unfortunately in this day and age girls have to give their consent to be spanked. But looking over the video’s, I know not why, but I kinda believe him. That being said, the kind Johnson discipline is mainly domestic in nature. There are a few theme based punishments but for the most part they are full costumed or simply street clothes.
Film Quality is pretty damn decent. It has a amateur feel to it. Personally I would have appreciated more focus on the girls faces as they tend to bury them in comforting pillows while their ass is on fire but then again that is more than a realistic reaction to a girl getting a spanking such as this.
Thus we come to the spankings. Well… They are hard. Kyle was nominated for hardest spanker this year and personally I think he would have done quite a bit better had this site been known to my Dear Readers. Personally I think once Dallas decides to hang up his implements and move into a retirement home where they tolerate him shouting at the sky and drinking vegetable matter. Kyle could indeed hold the crown as hardest spanker in the America's. Make no doubt these are very
painful spankings.
Who would NOT like this site.
Mr Johnson seems to be a quite controversial figure. I have many dealings with him, and quite honestly, he has been nothing but forthcoming. But if for some reason you do not like him then I would suggest you stay away. I would suggest this however, people will say bad things about you when you put yourself out there. Hell people say bad things about me! Most of which I agree with! Ignore them.
Who will LOVE this Site.
OTK spankers take note! Mr Johnson seems to be one of us. Not mind you to the determent to all other things but clearly a advocate of our beloved position. Personally I think anyone who would enjoy hard old fashion spankings would really enjoy this site. Hell I did!
If your are interested you can find it at Disciplinary Arts.
Brushstrokes
Correct me if I'm wrong (as I'm sure you will) but doesn't Kyle own (or at least have a large stake in) the site called 'Marked Butts'? I have a subscription there and am wondering if he is expanding his empire, or eliminating MB in favor of this new one. Thank you and keep up the exemplary work!
Marked Butts is owned by Spankingtube, who also bought the (still) tainted Xerotics brand a few years back.
For all these sites they buy in content from various producers, I would summise Kyle is one of those, I disagree with this policy but "hey ho" each to their own.
Indeed Count: 6
And the front page count is rising once more. Don't think that because I don't comment on each post that I'm not watching.
On a personal note, Kyle Johnson is quite possibly the most boring spanker I've ever seen. Its hard to take someone seriously as an authority figure when they have all the enthusiasm of a drugged sloth.
Thanks for the kind words, my friend! I tried to make the best site possible. Anyways Marked Butts buys non-exclusive content from many independent producers all across the net. They bought some of my clips and many other peoples as well as a non-exclusive situation.. none of my new videos made within the last 8 months will appear on marked butts, only on disciplinaryarts.com or clips4sale.com/30091.
Thanks for notifying us of Kyle Johnson's new site. I have enjoyed watching him spanking several "naughty" girls in those video clips that appear on some sites, and I commend him for his spanking style. He gets right down to business, right away, and does not seem to believe in varying the rhythm of his swats. He is all business once he gets a girl over his knee. I especially like the work he does with Samantha Woodley. They seem to be good friends, making his clips seem more authentic.
Mr. J, your site looks promising and I quite like your spanking style, but could I suggest an improvement to the non-members area? Showing a list of updates with at least one photo for each and a summary, in chronological order (most recent update at the top).
That's what the major sites do e.g. real life spankings and firm hand and that's how I decide when to take a subscription, i.e. when there are a few videos that appeal and an update I like the look of.
The streaming trailer doesn't work properly on my (old) laptop also.
Chief, just out of historical interest why was (is) Xerotics tainted?
I agree with Indeed, Mr. Johnson is in a neck and neck race with Mr. M from Real Spanking as to the most boring spanker in the industry. Both look as if they need a double espresso before filming and both look disinterested in what they are doing. Even "Bad Quality Ed" from Nu-West actually looked as if he was enjoying himself when he had a young lady across his knee and total control of her fate. I won't be spending money on this site.
I think Chief may have intimated in past that Xerotics may have stiffed some folks on money they were owed but I may be imagining that. Kyle seems like a good guy. And Cornertime, I think you mean that those people are "uninterested" in what they are doing, not disinterested. A jury, or judge is supposed to be disinterested. Kyle doesn't seem uninterested in the spankings either, though. Have you seen the dirty looks and finger wagging he does to the back of a girl's head? Also, I think it is cool that he gets to spank those pretty girls. I am all for a new spanking site. Would love to see others that are complaining start one themselves. Why not?
@atom – Chief is too much of a gentleman to say, but I am happy to fill you in (make of that what you will, LOL!). The former owners and founders of SpankingOnline/Xerotics ran off with their affiliates' money. After that the whole 'empire' went bust and was sold off in a fire sale. If you do some searching online about this you can find numerous bloggers talking about how they got screwed out of significant sums of money.
Aside from lacking charisma Kyle appearing to be no older than 15 doesn't make for a convincing spanker
- don't ask a boy to do a man's job.
I really should be more on top of my commercial spanking history – thank you both for filling in that gap in my knowledge….
Good for you Kyle and Stevie. I am glad to see you got it off the ground. D.
Good luck to Kyle… and although I am too much of a gentleman, there is much more to say on the matter of "Xerotics" and I genuinely feel it is in the public interest for everyone to know the whole nasty tale and history of this at some point on my blog!
Thanks for all the well wishes guys! My site isnt for everyone but i have had one of the top spanking stores on clips4sale for over 4 years so i just decided to make a seperate site to put all 500 of the full length videos i have filmed over the last four and a half years on at a lower rate. On C4S they charge $1 a minute roughly, and so to purchase one 30 minute discipline session it costs $29.99 and a month on my site its $34.95 and contains many different discipline sessions along with fun videos. On top of that, C4S gets 40% so i figured it was time to have a side site for those who wanted to see many videos instead of just one specific one.
As far as boring, that is the first time i have heard that.. in my fun videos I am always animated and constantly keeping the spankee in the headspace necessary for the scene, and in a real discipline session, neither the spanker nor the spankee should be animated or "enjoying" the spanking.. if it were faked or for play I could see that but not in a real session. Thee acted videos we always have a blast with, and i laugh and tease the spankee in those ones cause they are not real.
My site isnt for everyone, i admit. I run it solely with stevie rose, including filming, editing, updating, posting, promoting and paying for everything with this being my full time job, so its not going to have the team effort and money of other sites, but it def. has some of the hardest spankings and most content for the money out of many of the larger corporate sites.. Like i said, people into the sexual side of spanking may not enjoy my site as much as those pure discipline enthusiasts, but i have had nothing but positive feedback thus far from people so its been good!
I just wanted to wish our friend Kyle the best of luck with DA! I was one of the real discipline video cases and I had never met Kyle prior to his coming to Indiana. He was so helpful to my husband and I and we still apply his advice to different aspects of our relationship today. We remain friends with Kyle and I assure you he really does care for those he becomes involved with. Either way though, his videos are great so go check him out!
