Since ancient times, coaches and athletes have been linked by bonds of obedience, responsibility, and butt busting. This has all fallen a bit by the wayside in recent years, except in China and Korea where rumor has it the cane is freely employed in training.
Corporal punishment provides immediate feedback, it's in keeping with the physicality of the athletic male, it increases excitement and aggression while teaching endurance and indifference to pain.
It's a real tragedy the paddle isn't used at the professional level in American Football. Those football pants are designed to drive spankos crazy!
Some guy named Basshunter, who seems to be pretty playful and cute as hell, gets spanked by the gayest straight man in the UK.
I have the definite impression the pop scenes in Europe and the US have diverged quite a lot since, say, the 70s. I (in the US) have no idea who these people are aside from Walliams, on the other hand music isn't exactly my life.
There is nothing as beautiful as a magnificent male body showing off its prowess. Male buttocks can be associated with shame (they are very much associated with punishment, and/or humor), but they can also be displayed with pride, as they are in various sports. They are certainly on display in the various forms of football played around the world, as well as wrestling and gymnastics.
Here is a strange thing: a few weeks ago I posted a fantasy about police in Texas giving public spankings to men. It turns out that in reality, Police in Pakistan do give public spankings to adult men--this youtube video shows several young men, some of them quite handsome, getting paddled with a broad, heavy leather strap. What's difficult is while I found my fantasy about this quite hot, the reality is more questionable.
Really spanking unwilling men is kind of mean. While to me, this doesn't fall into the same category as actual torture, and I suppose they have done something that merits punishment, I'm not sure how I feel about this. The punishment does look quite moderate and not brutal, but then again we don't know how long it went on since the guy's phone apparently ran out of memory. The paddle looks pretty fearsome. I've heard a report of leather paddles being used by courts in Afghanistan as well--anyone know about this?
The comments give little clue as to what's going on. Are they thieves or something? Does anyone know what this says? I'm guessing it's Urdu but Google translate can't do anything with it:
Sahih, aisa hee hona chahye, laikin qanoon sab kay liyay aik sa hay, police walay khood sab say baray choor hain, aur jin loogon nay NRO kay tahat ma,afi hisil kee aur baray baray maldar loog aur jageer dar, jo ghariboon par zulm kartay hain.
Inn sab ko supreme court kay samnay lita kar chittar marnay chahyan.
What do you think about this kind of punishment? Should we keep our fantasies and our reality separate?
