  • Cliff’s Final Blog Post

    Since last week’s posting, announcing the passing of Cliff Meador, the owner and creator of Spanking Central, a number of JockSpank readers have written to us with comments and memories of Cliff, and the impact he has had on many people’s lives.

    One of these, Jack, has sent me a copy of Cliff’s final blog posting, posted on January 2nd, just six days before his death on the 8th. After some consideration, I have decided to repost this. I am doing so for various reasons, firstly, it shows that his death was sudden and unexpected, but it also shows that Cliff was at a point where he was happy and comfortable with his life and with his achievements. That is a place where I believe his fans would wish him to be.

    Note: Cliff also posted a photograph, which, after serious consideration, I have chosen to include, as he appears comfortable with the way he is depicted, and also shows him in a comfortable and peaceful point in his life.

  • Remembering Margusta

    Following the sad news at the weekend, we have to report another sad loss to the Male Spanking Community. We have been notified that the iconic spanker Margusta passed away last Spring, following a lengthy illness, compounded at the end by COVID.

    Margusta was a prolific figure within the male spanking movies of the early 2000s, appearing first in many British Boys Fetish Club productions, and later in a number of Sting videos, such as “Banged Up – My Borstal Days”, and “TS Morsus Before the Mast”.

    Margusta had ambitions to set up his own Spanking studio in his homeland of Estonia, but this was thwarted by legal issues and later by failing health.

    Margusta was a larger than life character, with many fans among those who appreciate male spanking films. He will be missed


  • In Memoriam : Cliff Meador


    CLIFFTON G. MEADOR

    January 20, 1957 – January 8, 2023

    Thanks for Copper for the following Memorial

    The world of male-spanking suffered a loss recently, with the passing of Cliff Meador, the owner of Spanking Central video productions. Starting in 1993 in Palm Springs, Cliff (or “Cliffboy” as he was known at the time) began a mail-order company that specialized in designing and building spanking equipment that he called “The House of Correction.” Included in his product line were a selection of paddles, leather straps and a variety of bondage devices. After relocating to Fresno California, in 2003 he opened a video production company where he planned to feature both male and female spanking scenarios. When Spanking Central first opened, he offered a catalog of ten videos that were available on DVD, or by membership for $12 a month. He set a goal of offering one new video every week,abandoning the idea of using female models and specializing in exclusively male content.

    In addition to directing the videos, Cliff appeared in almost all of them as the sole top. Artistically shot and edited, in an interview, he once described his productions as “a dramatization of a spanking” and “theatrics,” rather than real discipline. In 2008, he stopped offering DVD’s for sale, making his films available only by membership. In addition to the featured videos, Cliff also maintained a regular video blog, updating the members on his current activities, his models, and occasional rants about video piracy or other political issues In February of 2019, Cliff announced that he was ceasing production of new films, although he would allow the website to stay open as long as it paid for itself. By that time, he had produced an impressive catalog of 745 spanking videos. Cliff unexpectedly passed away on Sunday, January 8th at the age of 65. The website, www.spankingcentral.com is still available, although it is unknown just how long it will remain active.
