Interesting article, how spanking can relate back to a very early age and continue on through childhood to grow into something much larger then one can imagine. Not that all spanko's started the same way for sure, but in this instance a very definite connection. The feelings of shame and humiliation all mixed in I am sure are common to many adult spankee's today. Looking forward to the next part.

What a fluently written article. What impressed me most was the contrast of the cruel punitive punishment of that poor girl by the male headmaster with the almost loving punishment by the piano teacher. The one was brutal and for retribution, the other almost nurturing. No wonder it brought out any latent tendencies.

This promises to be a fascinating and far-ranging series of articles. Controversial US paddling cases, like the one referred to, seem to come along every couple of years and inevitably receive a lot of attention from communities like this one. A girl who feels she has been unjustly paddled must either keep quiet about it, or risk becoming the obbject of intense world-wide fetishistic fantasy if she goes public! The author has clearly worked out his own rationalisation of why we are so deeply drawn to such scenarios. I'm not sure I can identify with it in detail, but I very much like the way he links it to spirituality and creativity, I'm sure many of us would agree that our affinity for spanking is a very essential and mysterious part of ourselves, and runs deepr than, say, a liking for chocolate.

Very interesting indeed, I shall look forward to reading the next part of this!

Nicely written, courageous, thoughtful. Thank you for sharing your memories and thoughts and cannot but anticipate the future accretions. This is certainly an archetype one finds in a number of fictions based on facts.

A well written article. Yes, I do remember the girl's story. As for the piano teacher in the article, I would think that was quite inappropriate with pants down or up, and 14 whacks with a cane is way over the top for anyone. I'd like to know what your parents thought about this punishment. What's with the failing grade punishment anyway? She was your piano teacher and not a parent.

However, it seems that you ended up daydreaming and nightdreaming about those punishments. You found it erotic and exciting, too. Not a bad thing.

Thank you all for your kind comments! Responding to 'bendover', well... my parents did not know, of course. My piano teacher was all for informing my mother, assuming there would have been some accord... probably correctly. I had to beg her not to tell my mother, as she told me that either I accepted corporal punishment, or she would inform my mother that I was lazy and unteachable, and that would almost have been more shameful given the fee paid. I accepted the punishment on the understanding that the matter would be kept just between us. I see now that that's almost a 'grooming'.

Very well written. How interesting about your emotional feelings with your piano teacher. These type feelings can be related to a baby sitter, aunt, sister as well as one's own mother. I certainly can relate to your feelings.

Greatly enjoyed this article and looking forward to the rest. (Must we really wait four full months for the conclusion?)

While fiction stories are great and can go a lot further than true memoirs, when people set out to report their actual experiences, and even more, their recollection of their feelings and emotions at the time, it becomes something greater than imagination alone can create.

Thank you for this memoir. Hope it will encourage others to pass on their memories.

Wonderful story. Brought back a memory from my youth when my parents left me with a teenage female sitter.

Interesting start to a complex theme. Looking forward to the next parts.
