Many of your contributors, I notice, say they find it hard to pinpoint exactly where their fascination with the act of spanking began – but I can narrow down my own obsession to the exact event.
I certainly hadn’t had any interest in spanking before. Although I was brought up in a ‘house church’ fundamentalist Christian family, my parents thought corporal punishment was unnecessary in my case. Perhaps, if I had been a boy and more rambunctious, my bottom might have attracted the occasional swat but by the time I was in double figures I had passed through my entire childhood without being spanked. I knew other children sometimes got smacked, but that was about it.
