Some thoughts, provoked by a recent email correspondence:
It's amazing how specific our fetishes can be. I like it when the guy being spanked is very masculine, with muscles and facial hair and long, hairy legs. I like to see alpha males, strong, confident guys, take a spanking.
I like it when a smaller guy spanks a bigger, as often happens for example in fraternities, or happened in the past in prisons, slavery or the military. I've heard people express incredulity that this could happen; they obviously didn't go to high school in the mid-20th century South, where strapping 18 year old lads were paddled by pencil neck geek math teachers and old ladies (not to mention hot chicks right out of college) on the flimsiest pretexts. Do they think slaves, servants, soldiers, sailors, convicts, etc in the past were all smaller than those who had power over them? The power is social, not physical.I wonder how many married men submit to sexual, or even disciplinary, spankings, even if they don't like getting it as much as their women like to give it. Straight men will do anything for some vagina.
You sometimes see scenes in spanking films where someone says "If you're going to act like a child, I'm going to treat you like a child." This is a huge turnoff for me, I hate it. I like the masculine toughness of a man taking his punishment like a man. And I don't think children should be spanked.
It is amazing that after thousands of years of corporal punishment of adults, our society has decided that it's appropriate for kids, not adults. What's more predictible is that many people raised in such a society can't imagine anything else.
I would disagree on one aspect of your comments, and that relates to spanking of children. Kids were spanked since (probably) the dawn of mankind. Physical chastising of an errant child would be a natural outpouring of the alpha males duty and role in the family unit. It would likely not be a common occurrence, but would have happened. Using corporeal punishment on adults would have come secondarily, as humans grouped together in supportive gatherings, eventually becoming communities.
ReplyDeleteSO I would see this as adult spanking being derived from the punishment of children. As well, there are centuries of anecdotal findings that when properly administered and not in anger or retribution, a sound spanking to a young male can be very beneficial in preparing him for alpha status.
I saw the pic of the man about to get spanked/paddled and he was naked on the ground--I never saw that happend---I went to high school in early 60's we got paddled by our coach and it was on the bare butt however, we just had to bend over in fronot of him and he paddled bare ---on the ground would have been more humiliating---just having to bend your naked butt over in frront of coach and team mates was bad---Anyone ever get paddled on the ground?
ReplyDeleteThe lying on the ground position has been used in a lot of cultures. It was widespread in Africa and Asia for slaves and in punishment of criminals. Both lying down and the bent over position were used in US prisons. Personally I think the bent over position seems more humiliating and leaves you more exposed. The lying down position undoubtedly allows harder blows, as the strap/whatever can be swung overhead and straight down.
ReplyDeleteBent over bare by a mean little twerp like our small town high school football coach and paddled bare not only hurt alot it was shaming---He was a little guy but young and just out of college---His brother in law only a very few yrs younger and way bigger aqnd stronger-- was on the team-- and the little twerp paddled his bare butt more than once----I am sure that was more humiliating than the rest of getting paddled bare--- I wonder waht family holidays were like with my team mate sitting ast dinner cwith a damn sore butt and his brother in law coach sitting there also???
ReplyDeleteWhatever it was like in reality, paddling the brother in law under cover of legitimate authority is a really hot scenario.
ReplyDeleteWhether there's any sexual motive, smaller guys are always going to relish the chance to paddle bigger guys.
