Recollections: Discovering Sensual Spanking (cont.)
by Kilahara

There followed much discussion on spankings and sharing our own experiences and feelings on the matter. The upshot was a plan for a long-term game of playing house while I was at the farm, with role-play scenes based on family discipline. Of course that aspect of our activities was kept from the adults. Needless to say there were several spankings each day, when the grown-ups were not around. Everyone got spanked and gave spankings, but I found that in my case as the only boy I became perhaps 70% spanker, and 30% spankee, since the girls did want their opportunities, too. There was no question at all that I found pleasure in spanking their bottoms!

That same summer, one of our play times was interrupted by a couple of real spankings, when Sarah and I were marched off to the drawing room by her mother because of an incident the previous day. We each got one before returning to the girls who waited for us on the back porch. The momentous happening in our play spankings was the time when Kitty, the third girl, announced that her spankings at home were on the bare bottom, and she wanted the same thing now! It was, of course, necessary to oblige.

There were certainly long-lasting memories imprinted in brains and bottoms by all this. Spankings during visits to the farm continued for a few years, ending, perhaps because of some reason unknown to us, about the same time discipline spankings at home came to an end, around the age of twelve.

Imprinting? Yes, I think so. Aside from modern developmental psychology on nurture and imprinting, the Jesuits were correct, in most cases, when they said, "Gave us a child until the age of ten, and he is ours forever". I tend to believe, like most who have studied educational theory, that the 'Formative Years' are from birth until 12, or the onset of puberty.

During that memorable summer at Roselawn Farm, all the facets and pleasures of non-sexual spanking were explored and enjoyed. The four of us were still in the dark about the birds and bees... the joy of spanking remains, at least with me.

Unearthing the Literature!
It was during my year in grade five that an amazing stash of reading material turned up in the basement of our home. By that time my voracious reading had uncovered the caning scenes in the Boys Own Annual, provided by an aunt in England, and in Tom Brown's School Days. The school scene when Tom Sawyer took a beating for his beloved Becky Thatcher fired my childish imagination as well. R. D. Blackmore's classic, Lorna Doone, had an interesting scene in a mixed classroom, when the master says, 'John Ridd, Sirrah! Up to the front, and down with your smallclothes.' This certainly conjured up images of humiliation in front of the girls. Glad it was not me! There were certainly references in books and movies to spankings and other forms of corporal punishment, but the treasure in the basement was much greater than that. There was more to be found in the world of literature than mere passing references to the fine art of spanking.

One afternoon when I was alone in the rather large house, for some reason I went through the basement laundry room, and on a shelf there spied a cardboard carton that I'd never seen before. It contained many copies of a tabloid weekly newspaper aptly named, Justice Weekly. Curious, as ten year-olds are, I opened the top paper, and in the centre spread found a double page of Letters to the Editor'. At the time I did not realise that such letters can be written by the editor when needed. The first letter had me totally astounded, and the rest were similar. Justice Weekly had found an avid reader, especially for the 'Letters' page.

Almost every letter was a detailed description of a spanking, strapping, caning or flogging of some sort, usually first-person accounts by receivers of the spankings, with a smattering of reports by those administering them. In the letters I read such phrases and expressions as bare bottom, being prepared, smack-bottom time, tingling in anticipation, and the explanatory statement, 'I am going to take down her panties and spank her bottom'. It would be some time before I noticed that the same expressions appeared in most letters, suggesting a strong connection among them in the matter of writing style. It was even longer before I discovered that my grandfather, an author, columnist and journalist, had been filling in as editor of Justice Weekly in the absence of the paper's owner for a few months.

The rest off the tabloid seemed to concentrate where possible on stories in which corporal punishment, legal and common at the time, was ordered or enforced. Thus there were articles about prison flogging and strapping as well as an occasional juvenile released to parents on the condition that corporal punishment was given. Regardless of the author, the Letters to the Editor provided fascinating reading for several weeks, after which time the carton disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared. It was only natural from that time on to keep an eye out for publications which might feed the fantasies.

The Road to Discovery
Puberty's arrival wrought astounding changes, as it does for us all. The childhood spanking games in which, with some measure of innocence, the excitement and pleasure of being spanked, spanking and watching spankings were all experienced, savoured and relished, came to a quiet end. In the summer I turned thirteen there was no suggestion from Sarah and her two friends that we continue our sport during my annual visit to the farm. We were beginning to understand why we had hidden our version of 'playing house' from the adults around us, and the four of us had uncovered the anatomical differences between girls and boys.

Of course I cannot speak for others about their personal experiences, but as this new part of life began, the initial 'imprinting' period was over, and the experiences of those years became a part of me and affected how my character and attitude were formed. It is pretty certain that those formative years had a great deal to do with my adult attitude and interest in TTWD. By this time, of course the sensuality of innocent childhood had grown into erotic fantasy, built up from embellished childhood memories, and imprinting as well as new and astounding discoveries introduced through the surge of hormones. Spanking, of course, loomed large and dominant in the scheme of things.

A quick look back over the spanking events of the first twelve years of my life, real and vicarious, makes my involvement today in TTWD understandable and predictable. Now as then, it seems natural and normal to associate spanking with someone across a lap, and mainly, but not always, receiving bare hand on bare bottom. From the first experience of a spanking, the intimacy of hand on behind gave physical pleasure, even, strangely, when it hurt. It was something to be avoided and yet welcomed. It was during childhood, as mentioned, that the concept of spanking for fun was discovered, if not conceived. Through that experience also, the possibility of being the spanker, and the different but at least equal, sensual pleasures of that role came to light.

One other aspect of TTWD that came clear during those formative early years was the idea that for me, spanking was a pleasure to be enjoyed with members of the opposite sex. I am not sure whether that matter of preference results from the fact that spankings invariably were shared with females. The other deciding factor for me, at least, is the matter of my heterosexual orientation, something of which I was aware before actually being aware of sex.

My personal odyssey contained further experiences with academic corporal punishment during adolescence. There was the second encounter with 'the slugs' at age thirteen, this time justified, but still painful, and a couple of additional ones in an independent boys' school, where I got the distinct impression that a mathematics master enjoyed the cane. I did not.

Inevitably the years passed. The 'formative years' that lead to adolescence ended, and during that period of time the imprinting was accomplished. Until the discovery of the Internet, there was but one happy time within the magical world of TTWD while attending an English university, but many occasions of embarrassment, rejection and inept approaches on my part. Like so many of us, I have the Internet to thank for discovering that I was not alone. Through all of this, then, I became who I am. Within the boundaries of TTWD, that means a person who simply enjoys spankings.

What a fantastic article. From start to finish I was totally wide-eyed. I think everything a child feels and sees on the road to growing up is covered here.

How awful to think of a child being punished simply for knowing something. That makes me sad. However this is a great recollection!

Kilahara's experience about why he loved to be a 'spanko', was excellently told. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.

A charming account of sexual awakening, or should it be pre-sexual awakening? There would seem to be a lot of evidence to suggest nurture was the stronger influence, but if grandfather was an 'editor' then one cannot dismiss the possibility of a spanking gene. An intriguing question. It would be fascinating to know what happened to his three playmates in later life.

Very nicely remembered! Attention to detail and a narrative that, except for specifics of time and place, likely could be written for half the people [or more] who read at this library. I doubt anyone reading would not be nodding the head and remembering just about the same experience in a different time and place.

I couldn't agree more with PinkAngel: but it's worse than that. He was punished for learning something for himself: the dreadful abuser of power Miss Heddle wanted everything the children learnt to come from her.

Well done grand-dad and well done Ross.

I wonder just how many of us were confused by our feelings and fascinations and questioned our leanings toward TTWD until the internet exploded with information. Up until then, regular exposure could only be through magazines that had wrappers over the covers and were forbidden to the underaged adolescent. I was well into adulthood, married and settled before I came across a Variations Magazine that often contained spanking stories and letters to the editor regarding the spanking of spouses and older teens. We were fortunate to have been the first generation to have unlimited access to spanking lit.How did spankos manage to find material earlier on? Most of the defunct magazines and late authors mentioned on this site are new to me.

Personally I think, that most people will remember punishment as something, that happened either unjustly or for things, they did accidentally. There are schools or other surroundings, where pupils end up with feeling, that punishment is a kind of payment for doing certain things; the result is, that punishment does not have the wanted effect.
(If people can afford paying a fine, it does not prevent them from parking illegally or speeding). Those boys, who were punished for fighting were the ones, who would keep on fighting.
Most stories in this library leaves the impression, that punishment is either for the pleasure of the spanker or spankee. Spanking should be considered as sex, both parties should want it. Otherwise it is rape or assault.
