Visibility of spanking marks
How common was it to see spanking/whupping marks on kids bottoms and legs when growing up! Back in the '60s and '70s, when I was growing up, it was very much the norm! The boys showers and changing rooms were, obviously, a rich source for spotting the tell-tale signs of a recent spanking! As were swimming pools, both private and public ones, and in the spring summer, during warm and hot weather, you would often catch sight of 'war wounds' on a playmates bottom and legs testifying to a recent punishment! Unlike today, when such a discovery would very likely result in the authorities being notified - and I am not going to get into a debate about the rights and wrongs of this; I am merely recounting HOW THINGS USE TO BE; in, depending on your opinion, the THE GOOD OR BAD OLD DAYS; LOL - adults in those days were incredibly relaxed and laid back about such things; whether they be other parents, teachers, baby sitters, or other members of the public in general! In fact the vast majority of them would have been strongly supportive of such discipline; as spanking was widely approved of back then! The usual reaction was laughter, teasing and conversation designed to embarrass the kid concerned! It would, in fact, often spark a conversation about the 'virtues of spanking' with the adults frequently describing spankings that they has recently administered to their own kids! Thus, if other children were present, they also were not spared the embarrassment either! The descriptions given were sometimes quite detailed! My sisters, female cousins and female friends in general assured me that it was common to see spanking marks on the bottoms of other girls in the school showers and dressing room! Hardly surprising since I often saw, heard and witnessed my own sisters and cousins get spanked! How frequently did other members spot spanking/whupping marks on the bottoms of other kids?
