About us
When we thought about starting a niche website we wondered about the popularity and response it would get. We were fed up, as many are, with the plethora of often recycled slap-spank-thank-you-wank sites cropping up everywhere and felt it time for something a little innovative and different.
So we set about creating what has become to our overwhelming amazement the phenomenon that is www.bars-and-stripes.com
An original and new site that for once has themed storylines, threads to follow, consistent characters and roles and scenario variations not to be found anywhere else on the net.
Couple that with high quality technology, beautiful girls, attention to detail and 100% original and unique material it’s no surprise that our memberships are rocketing!

So, with all that is happening we decided to off-set some of the marketing duties and create an opportunity for fellow webmasters to join in our success by initiating what we hope to be mutually beneficial and friendly relationships.

Our program offers you Bars and Stripes - a quality spanking site to promote.
The site is updated regularly and promises potentially unlimited income. So join now and promote Bars and Stripes. We are new and innovative - we give a fresh look to the spanking scene!
