Testimonials

A selection of testimonials from some of the wonderful spankees I have played with

I had the most lovely session with David. He is kind, thoughtful and discrete. We met initially on zoom and got to know each other in a safe, public setting (a cafe) before moving onto the play. He has excellent conversation and a calming presence, which immediately put me at ease.

I was incredibly nervous as someone new to the kink and spanking scene. David took the time to reassure me, explain what will happen and took control of the session in a way that made me feel very safe. There were also plenty of discussions around consent before hand, and half way through the session we had a break to make space for conversation, a breather and a check in.

The actual spanking was divine. David is incredibly talented at tailoring the session to meet your needs and desires. I received exactly what I had asked for and more — in the best ways possible. I felt supported to try new techniques and ideas with David. He is gentle but firm by nature, and my goodness does he have incredibly caning skills. If you like playing with implements, he has a lot of great choice to try, each with their own story attached.

There was plenty of time for aftercare, as well as check ins for a few days after the session. He is a lovely, smart gentleman and excellent at cuddling.

I left feeling a million times lighter, more motivated and relaxed. If you have the desire for punishment or discipline, David is your man. He is a good egg and I couldn't recommend him more.

As a 40-year-old happily married woman with two wonderful children and a devoted, loving husband, I lead a fulfilling life: a successful corporate career, a rich social circle, a deep spiritual practice, a loving romantic relationship, and a happy family. Yet, in the spring, I woke up with the sense that something was missing and felt an unexpected desire to surrender more deeply to my husband. I didn't fully understand it at first, but it felt like the start of a profound curiosity and awakening.

While researching the methods and mechanisms of surrender, I discovered David's written articles. What drew me to him immediately was his decade-plus experience as a dominant, his evident high emotional and intellectual intelligence on the subject of discipline, the positive testimonials from others, and the ongoing, respectful relationships he seemed to maintain with clients. My intuition told me he was the right guide for this unique journey that I felt compelled to begin.

David generously offered an exploratory phone conversation, which proved invaluable in setting me on a safe and appropriate path of information gathering, research, and self-reflection. Despite my nervousness discussing such intimate topics, he was uncannily empathetic, warm, professional, measured, and respectful. His easy manner normalized my anxiety and assuaged my insecurities.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with David. In person, he was every bit as calm, confident, and competent as he had been virtually. Throughout the sessions, I felt completely safe, supported, and cared for. David is one of a kind — a true professional and master of his craft, skillfully weaving pain and pleasure in ways that unlocked profound psychological and sexual healing.

This experience not only enhanced and fortified my connection with my husband — deepening our bond and inspiring a shared vision of the path ahead — it also sparked a profound personal transformation in me that I never imagined was possible. Without exaggeration, it was one of the most enriching and liberating experiences of my life.

I've had four incredibly rewarding sessions with David over the past four months, and I've enjoyed every single one.

Before I found his website (thank you, Google!), I had almost given up on the idea of finding a disciplinarian who truly understood what I was looking for in a discipline spanking. After reading all the articles on David's site, I decided to contact him via WhatsApp. A few days later, he replied with a simple message and an invitation to a video call. That convinced me even more, and I took the leap of booking a session for two weeks later.

On the day we met in Edinburgh, I was nervous, but he recognised me straight away in the hotel's common area. He led the conversation with kindness and patience, reassuring me I was safe. Once the session began, I was amazed at how accurately he understood me. He truly listened to what I wanted and needed, and he delivered the firm, no-nonsense discipline I had asked for, while making sure I felt cared for and safe.

Over time, I've made real progress steadily in breaking some bad habits. Finding a good disciplinarian can be a gamble — but with David, I feel like I've truly won. And as a bonus, Edinburgh is a wonderful city to relax in after a session!

"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever" — Jacques Cousteau.

A punishment spanking expertly delivered by an experienced, calm and handsome disciplinarian. I felt incredibly vulnerable, excited and anxious when I first reached out to David online. My courage was soon rewarded. David replied promptly with a reassuring, intelligent and authoritative tone. He was crystal clear about the need for honesty, consent and safety.

He smiled at me, he was dressed smartly and smelled good as he held me close for a moment and instantly my anxiety dissipated. He showed me such patience and consideration that I felt immediately at ease and safe in his manicured, firm, experienced hands.

David recognised the signs that I'd reached my limits, he instinctively knew I'd had enough, he stopped at the perfect moment before I even needed to use my safe word. He was incredibly generous with his aftercare, he reassured me, looked out for me and stayed until I emerged from the subspace I had so willingly surrendered to.

Genuinely, come on in, the water's lovely!

The following are excerpts from a blog post written by a first-time spankee who I had the pleasure of introducing to the fine art of discipline.

The spanking itself and the sensations of the implements were as thorough and testing of my limits as I requested. Furthermore, David knew when enough was enough without me needing to cut it short, which demonstrated his focus, attention and understanding of my needs and my vested trust.

I've had the pleasure of meeting David on several occasions over the years in Edinburgh. Authoritative yet caring, his ability and experience as a disciplinarian is clearly evident. With an array of implements skilfully utilised and expertly delivered, there's never a dull moment as he sends you on the most incredible journey of catharsis. While disciplinary sessions are intense and no nonsense, I was never in any doubt that I was in safe and capable hands.

Every session with him feels like a thrill ride that leaves me thoroughly satisfied and looking forward to the next. It's nothing short of amazing, and I would definitely recommend David for that experience of a spanking good time!

David is a great play partner especially if you look forward to temporarily escaping from your real life into fantasies. He has very good spanking techniques (the caning is divine!) and he is fantastic at pacing sessions, using just the right implements at just the right level. It always feels he's in control and that gives a safe, soothing, and calming vibe.

David and I have known each other for more than 3 years now. He is truly intelligent and knowledgeable and that's what makes the conversations with him exciting, both intellectually and kink wise. He is also a mature guy who has lived a lot and seen a lot, so he's very open-minded and accommodating.

He is very careful with boundaries and consent. One of the things for which I will be forever grateful to him is how he helped me improve my body confidence through our sessions. The care, reassurance and respect that he has shown me has made a huge difference to how I feel about how I look and how I dress. Oh, and also his accent is really charming.
