My Favorite Spanking Scene: “Fraternity Tales”
(Part VI)The Bully/Victim Dynamic
While Rob only appears in this one scene, Vinnie appears in another
scene, dishing out another paddling to another frat boy entirely for the
purpose of showing one of his brothers the “right” way to spank.This other scene is just not very good. Vinnie’s second
victim puts up a little bit of a struggle at one point but is mostly just there
and limp. He is an object to be smacked. It is very boring to watch (and the
other spanking couple in the scene is just terrible). Vinnie’s lack of good
paddle technique becomes more obvious – sometimes it looks like he’s actually
punching the other guy’s butt with his fist because of the way he’s clutching
the paddle.All of that is to say that what makes this whole scene so
much better than the sum of its individual parts is the way the two men play
off each other perfectly. I’ve praised Rob repeatedly as the bottom, and he
deserves it. He is the victim of Vinnie’s domination, but he is hardly passive
except at the very beginning.Here’s what Rob’s unwillingness to just play along as the
meek pledge does: It forces Vinnie to physically demonstrate his ability to
dominate Rob. This scene could have been so flat if Rob just accepted that
Vinnie was bigger and stronger than him. Instead, he resists, requiring Vinnie
throughout the entire video to physically manage him. So many spanking videos
are oddly sort of hands-off, except for the spanking. Sometimes this is
deliberate if there’s a bondage scene involved. But there can be this mentality
that people are only watching for the spanking, so the only real
“connection” you see other than some hands-on positioning is the hand
or implement hitting the ass (unless the scene also delves into sex).Vinnie and Rob maintain a constant physical connection and
an amazing chemistry that is unique to good spanking scenes. Vinnie’s physical
presence renders the need for a lot of threatening dialogue set-up unnecessary.
Vinnie can just force himself on Rob, and he does. Because Rob (as an actor)
knows that Vinnie is stronger than him, this, ironically, gives Rob a sort of
“permission” to physically act up. Rob can squirm and struggle the
whole way through, but Vinnie’s strength keeps Rob from ever
“winning.” Rob forces Vinnie to use his body for more than just
giving a spanking. He challenges Vinnie to maintain control over the scene. He
makes Vinnie be a better, more interesting top than he would have been
otherwise. Rob’s unwillingness to play passive keeps Vinnie from getting lazy.Thus this spanking scene has components you’d actually see
in a good non-porn movie, weirdly enough. It has build up. Rob escalates his
own punishment throughout the scene by insulting Vinnie on several occasions.
Given that Rob knows he can’t break free, this is deliberately goading Vinnie
on to punish him further. There’s dramatic tension absent from a lot of
spanking scenes that exists because the story is being told physically, not
through a lot of dialogue. We don’t know watching the first time how long the
spanking or paddling is going to be because Vinnie doesn’t give much feedback.
He doesn’t lecture Rob. He doesn’t ask Rob if he’s “learned his
lesson” (though Rob volunteers that he has). There is a lack of
predictability to it compared to other spanking videos of its type. And the
conflict feels dynamic. We experience Rob’s increasing struggles throughout
this whole scene and his inability to break free of Vinnie. Vinnie continually physically
forcing Rob back over the chair for more paddling is just a wonderful
bully/victim dynamic detail. Vinnie has latched onto the back of Rob’s shirt
like a hook and keep pushes him right back down for more swats. Other scenes where the top exerts this much
control over the bottom often involve bondage of some sort. But Vinnie and Rob
don’t need it. They are pitch perfect as the domineering bully and struggling, mouthy
victim based just on the physicality between the two of them.SO! In conclusion: This is not the hottest OTK spanking
scene in porn. It is not the hottest paddling scene in porn. Vinnie is not the
hottest or most-skilled top in spank porn. Rob is not the hottest bottom in
spank porn. But when everything is combined together and that bully/victim
chemistry is added, you end up with my favorite spanking scene ever.And you can get it for cheap! I think, back in the day, I
paid about $40 or so for the VCR tape version of “Fraternity Tales.”
On Maleflixxx, you can “stream-to-own” this clip for less than $5.
Check it out. If my lengthy analysis isn’t convincing, you can watch previews
of the scene for free. If you keep refreshing the video pop-up, you’ll see a
variety of different short segments from the film.Also, I wrote 5,200 words analyzing a spanking video. For
real, y'all.(All screenshots from “Fraternity Tales” by
