Retrospective Before this year is out I will turn 60. Though I don't feel old or act old - as I keep telling myself - I am mindful that 60 is a milestone moment in life. So perhaps it is natural that my mind has wandered back over the years and I began to recall what first drew me to spanking. I am a lifelong spanko. Even as an elementary-school kid I was fascinated. I have no idea why, though I have tried to figure it out, with no success. Like many of us in this community, I think I was just born that way. I also had a love of reading from an early age, and at age 9 or 10 had my first chance encounter with spanking in literature. I borrowed a book of short stories from the library that was wonderfully located across the street from my school. The book was age-appropriate, definitely meant for kids my age. One story was a typical American Western of the time (early 1960s) with cowboys and Indians. It tells of a newlywed couple. The wife ignores a warning about the dangers outside the fort. She goes out riding, has a close call with a hostile band of Native Americans, and is rescued by her husband. Up to this point it was a typical adventure story of the era, with all the stereotypes of the Western genre. But a big surprise was waiting for me. On the last page of the saga, they're back in the safety of the fort, and the two of them discuss what transpired. The young wife tells her husband she deserves to be punished. He agrees and promptly puts her over his knee and spanks her. This was out of the blue as a conclusion to the story. I'd not seen it coming. My already advancing obsession with spanking grew one-hundredfold in a moment. I checked the book out of the library and reread the story over and over. In the months that followed. I checked the book out several times more. My next reading encounter with spanking -- a big deal at the time, as pre-internet spanking references were very hard to come by, at least for a kid my age -- was in an advice column in the local daily newspaper. My dad brought this paper home from work each evening. The column was called Dear Penny and appeared only in this one paper, as opposed to the widely distributed Dear Abby and Ann Landers. It was the same kind of advice column as the better-known sisters, expect there was a noticeable pattern of a letter every couple of months about a spanking. Almost all were parental spankings of teenage girls (about my age at the time) and often crossed a line, like bare bottomed in front of a neighbor. I knew there was something highly unusual about this in a mainstream newspaper, but I also knew I wasn't imagining that there was a pattern in the frequency of these letters and the style. The one I remember word for word to this day was headlined "Hairbrush for Discipline." A 15-year-old wrote to complain that her usually gentle stepmother "bared my bottom and applied the hairbrush" after she broke the rules by coming home late at night numerous times. The letter continued along these lines: "For a 15-year-old that's rough. For two days it was easier to stand than to sit." She said she complained to her father the next morning that her stepmother had punished her in this manner, rather than the "soft-spoken lecture" that was her usual approach. Her father, however, backed his wife in administering the discipline. I learned as an adult 25 years later that Dear Penny was written by a man, not a woman, and he was the newspaper's Editor-in-Chief at the time. The letters were all fictional. That explained a lot. One last discovery of my youth - and one of the biggest in the early years of my spanking journey -- was the (often mentioned on the internet now) Penthouse letters. As a college freshman, I wandered over to the dormitory room of my next door neighbors one winter's evening. They were busy studying and I was less studious that night, so I sat down with an issue of Penthouse I found on one of their desks. I had not previously seen the magazine and I hit the jackpot with this issue. It carried 5 or 6 letters under the heading "Pain and Pleasure." They covered punishment spankings and romantic spankings. This was confirmation of what I'd long suspected -- that there were a lot of folks out there like me. For the next 30 minutes I read on and on, devouring the letters, unable to stop. One letter was written by an older man remembering the first spanking he ever administered. He said his girlfriend asked for it when she undid his tie several times. He finally told her if she did it again he'd spank her, and she immediately did. He described the spanking - 20 "really hard smacks, which turned the whiteness of her bottom to a glowing red" - and recalled making love afterwards. Spanking followed by lovemaking was a common theme in the issue. In another letter a woman is caned by another woman's husband for bad behavior while her own husband watches along with the spanker's wife. The other wife is thrilled to watch, saying she'd only been on the receiving end until this moment. Sex follows the caning. There was also a letter commenting on another that had appeared in a previous issue. In the earlier message, one of three young women sharing a flat tells of an agreed-upon code of discipline. They've asked a male neighbor to administer corporal punishment when the roommates agree it's warranted. If my memory serves he did so by applying the cane to the bare bottom. The writer notes she is due punishment that week and counts the number of times she, and her two friends, have been spanked in this way. The writer of the later letter wonders if the punishments are sufficiently thorough. He comments that if the discipline is carried out properly he can't see how any of the women would dare to break their code of conduct again for at least a year. After reading this issue, I went to the news agency as the new issue arrived each month and scanned its contents. If it carried a letter about spanking I purchased a copy. If not, I left disappointed. I don't believe I knew for certain until years later that the spanking letters that appeared were more creative than real-life. In 2012, it's interesting to think back in time and consider the pre-internet years. I was in my early 40s before internet access was first available to large segments of the population through personal computers in the home coupled with dial-up. Within the first year that I had this access what I had long suspected was confirmed. There was indeed a sizeable community throughout the world where spanking between consenting adults was more than a passing interest. And for the first time I - no doubt along with many of us - was able to communicate with and even meet others of a like mind and spirit. 23 comments
