ThereвЂ™s also a small вЂњtsuвЂќ гЃЈ indicating a glottal stop and a small вЂњyaвЂќ г‚ѓ, вЂњyuвЂќг‚… and вЂњyoвЂќ г‚‡appended to other syllables, mostly the ones ending in вЂњiвЂќ to make a single-syllable dipthong (e.g. IвЂ™m simplifying a bit (and itвЂ™s been a long time since I took Japanese classes) but basically Japanese phonetics is composed of a set of syllables, each of which is either a vowel or a consonant-vowel (or a syllable-length вЂњnвЂќ consonant). So for me, this was interesting notwithstanding that its spanking-fetish contribution might be kinda minimal.

I hear what youвЂ™re saying, but quite apart from my spanking interests I have a bit of an interest in cultural history and its preservation, especially ephemeral stuff like fads and crazes. SpankBoss commented on April 28th, 2021:.IвЂ™m glad these things are pretty much history now as they really contributed practically nothing to the spanko world and simply got in the way when doing internet searches. The design was another annoyance to me: the guy who made the first Yaoi paddle used a canoe paddle instead of a fraternity/sorority paddle for his model apparently out of ignorance, and this was a big mistake as the Yaoi/canoe paddle is too long, too heavy, and too awkward to function as a good spanking paddle. Honestly, I always considered the Yaoi paddles to be a nuisance that interfered with my search for good real-life paddling videos вЂ“ I canвЂ™t tell you how many times a search would turn up endless nonsense with these things instead of good solid swats with вЂњregulationвЂќ fraternity/sorority paddles. It was interesting to finally find out where the Yaoi paddles came from (oddly enough, I always pronounced it вЂњYowie!вЂќ in my mind thinking it was a good joke, not knowing thatвЂ™s how it was actually pronounced! (Or that it had homosexual connotations).

I skimmed through this video but simply donвЂ™t have enough interest in Hentai or these conventions to watch it from beginning to end.
