TRAILER

 

David Meets Dana Specht was a watershed moment in the history of spanking videos.

The year was 1996, and the spanking world was a very different place. VHS tapes were rapidly replacing magazines as the leading medium for spanking entertainment, and there was a large, hungry audience eager to buy them. Unfortunately, many of the producers and actors were not themselves spanking enthusiasts, and didn’t always understand what made their customers tick.

This of course is an over-simplification. If there’s one thing you can learn from surfing sites like SpankingTube, it’s that there are almost as many kinks as there are kinky people. What works for one spanking enthusiast leaves another cold, and vice versa. But if you’ve found your way to danaspecht.com, there’s a good chance that your fantasies are at least partially driven by emotions, rituals, and words. The use of highly-charged trigger words in the angry, realistic, supremely confident voice of the traditional domestic disciplinarian is something we’ve come to expect from these films, but in 1996 it was a massive breakthrough.

Many spanking enthusiasts — no less than Sarah Gregory herself — report having spent long hours leafing through the dictionary and staring longingly at the magical words associated with their favorite ritual. But 25 years ago, it was common to spend $100 for a 1-hour spanking video in which the word “spanking” was never once uttered!

All that changed when Dana Specht stepped in front of a video camera for the first time. For viewers used to the first primitive spanking videos, it was a revelation to hear her strict, confident, no-nonsense voice announcing what she intended to do, what she was doing in the moment, why she was doing it, and what she expected her charge to do–all with the overwhelming authority and unassailable certainty of a real life disciplinarian from days gone by, when corporal punishment was an unquestioned part of everyday life.

But it was more than the words themselves – it was the absolute authority with which they were delivered, transforming what the vanilla world might see as silly and childish into a deeply immersive, intensely emotional fantasy.
