Pyjamas and spanking. 1950s

I was recently speaking to a Zity friend and we agreed that in the 1950s pyjamas were often used as part of punishment. My aunt would send me to get changed into my pyjamas well before bedtime and the thin fabric and cord around the waist that was so easy for her to loosen so I was bare for a spanking all added to the sense of punishment. I remember a school friend. He was, my aunt thought, very ‘rough’ and I was aware they were poor. His older brother was misbehaving and his mother sent him upstairs to change into his pyjamas. When he came down they were far too small and ripped and no amount of tugging could make the fabric meet at the front and the short pyjama jacket cover his tummy. I felt sorry for him that he was standing in front of everyone in his nightwear, but interested that despite wearing pyjamas his penis wasn't really covered and it was big (to me as a child) with hanging testicles and a faint shadow of pubic hair growing. His mother put him over her knees pulled his pyjama bottoms down and gave him a good spanking till he was crying. As he stood up his pyjama bottom fell down to his ankles and he shuffled across the room and was stood in the corner. I would have been about 7 and he would have been about 13. Like so many punishments of my youth the fact we were watching, that he was an older boy reduced to tears and that his private parts were exposed to his mother, younger brother and his younger brothers friend (who he did not know) would have been felt to be all part of an effective punishment for a naughty boy. My friend and I talked about what had happened when we met at school the next day, repeating the whole scenario in a very factual way noting his brothers tears(at 13!), that we had seen his cock and pubic hair and the redness of his bottom. This would have been 1956.

I assume this was somewhere in England Barry?

Yes indeed. A small town in the west country where I grew up.

Pyjamas growing up had a negative connation in general due to representing it's bedtime, having to get into them early is even worse especially when everybody else in the house is fully clothed, embarrassing.

…having to get into them early is even worse especially when everybody else in the house is fully clothed, embarrassing.

So very true. Society in my childhood was very much more formal and rigid so the shame was much greater. A boy wearing pyjamas in the daytime, or shorts past the age of about 13 or just his white underpants, vest, socks and sandals, or a ‘girly’ colour like pink could only mean one thing, he was being punished. If this was combined with a spanking on his bare bottom, particularly when older or with others watching, then his punishment, and his humiliation was complete. Which was of course the aim of the proceedings. An older boy who has been treated as a small child and shamed will be compliant and well behaved.

Being a spankee clad in pajamas is an extremely common part of my fantasies. In fact, in the majority of them. Sometimes it is a bedtime spanking, other times it is done in advance because the spankee will be sent to bed after the spanking. I think they evoke a sense of childishness and vulnerability as well,

Till I started the 9 grade, my mom fixed my bedtime at 9 PM, but she often was agree to continue to watch a movie on TV till around 10 PM , especially during the weekend or during the holiday. The bad part for me was that she also insisted to put my pajamas on even since 8 PM, so, watching a movie or a TV show in the living-room ( just ONE TV back then), also meaning that a possible guest or other relative was pretty close to me to seen me just in my pajamas, who was really embarrassing sometimes when I used to wear JUST an oversized T-shirt as pajamas...

If I was spanked much early or even two days before with a switch, some red / purple stripes was pretty well displayed on my uperlegs, increasing my embarrassmet of being seen in pajamas like a small child...

An interesting recollection @Jumbix with many of the things that make this a good topic, being treated as a child, exposure, others seeing etc. I have heard before of boys having to wear a nightshirt or oversized t-shirt and the feeling of vulnerability, the childishness, access to their sore spanked bottom and exposure as they were told to sit cross legged in front of others. Early bedtimes, sometimes coupled with a spanking can be a great embarrassment, particularly if younger children are still dressed. I recall being naughty and being told by an aunt and uncle to change into just my pyjama top and slippers. After eating my tea with the others (my bare sore bottom on a painfully hard chair), I was sent to bed at around 6pm. All the well behaved younger children delighted in seeing my shame at being set to bed like a small child, completely exposed to their view though I would have been around 11 or 12 at the time.

Yes I remember having to get into pajamas. If dad was to punish me he would easily pull off my pajamas usually upstairs but after I would have to stand naked facing the wall so everyone could see my red butt. We only had one bathroom on second floor and if they had friends over they would come up and see me naked in hallway. So embarrassing.

Due to the fact that I was often and routinely spanked at bedtime when Dad felt my behavior had warranted such treatment, I was usually already in my pajamas for the event. As there was no underpants under the pajama bottoms, a quick tug and the pajama fell to the floor and my bare bottom was out and ready for a good spanking.

Sorry not the 50s, In the 70s, I remember being spanked for simply having an erection while wearing pyjamas. PJs without underwear was the norm in our house. PJs after dinner (7pm) if we wanted to watch the telly before bed. But the PJ material was very clingly and would rub against my penis and it would arouse me accidently. My unapproving mother would stand me up in the living room and bend me over her knee, my PJ bottom pulled down exposing my bottom to my sisters, and she's spank me for at least 30 seconds. And then send me to bed. She would always come up later on to see me and we'd hug. It was all very confusing.

Being sent to change into pajamas without underwear before a spanking does something special for me. I also love the idea of being made to change into an oversized shirt without bottoms, @Barry . I very much like bedtime spankings, and the anticipation that goes with them, and I also like the idea of being sent to bed early after having my pajamas taken down.

@Alittlenaughty Being sent to change into pajamas without underwear before a spanking does something special for me...I very much like bedtime spankings, and the anticipation that goes with them.

You should have grown up in my family. That was Dad's modus operandi.

@Papa_Sam I don't know if I would have actually liked it growing up -- did you?

Did you know when you were going to be spanked at bedtime, or was it a surprise?

@Alittlenaughty. I don't know if I would have actually liked it growing up -- did you? Did you know when you were going to be spanked at bedtime, or was it a surprise?

No, I did not. Spanking were most unpleasant and unfortunately, based on my mischievous behavior and apparent penchant for being both a slow learner and inept at covering my tracks, all too common.

Due to the fact that after age 5, I was only spanked by my father and not my mother, spankings were given on Dad's schedule and thus most of my spanking occurred at bedtime. Spankings would be announced by either my mother or father when they were judged to be needed and then carried at the end of my day. The waiting added to the dread. I was usually attired in my pajamas for most spankings and those PJ bottoms slipped down most easily to get this naughty boy's bare bum out for a crying, squirming, painful and, in retrospect, earned and needed workout with Dad's hand or wood brush.

Pyjama time, 1955 when it started.

When I was about 7years old mum introduced me and my sister to Pyjama time this lasted until I was 15, my sister was 22 months younger than me and her involvement finished when she was 9 years old.

Our pyjamas were left by the fire in the front room, when we came in from school we were given a time to change into our pyjamas.

The time varied over the years. We had to undress to our underclothes and go to the bathroom and wash, once or twice a week we had a bath then it was back down to the front room and wait to be inspected then into our pyjamas.

Now the front room had a very large window which was about six foot away from a public footpath, mum had a net curtain on the window so folk could not see in but as I got older I was happy to see the proper curtains pulled especially when young kids were out there playing.

When I was about 11 and my sister was 9 she had started to change in her bedroom (mum said girls needed privacy) and a church friend of my mums started to drop in, she sometimes at my mums request checked me to see if I was clean and if I didn't come up to her standards she would smack my bottom like mum did. She also introduced mum to giving me bare bottom corner time, which my sister thought was hilarious.

After sending me to wash the offending area she would dress me in my pyjamas then place me in a corner, place my hands on my head reach round me undo my pyjama cords and leave me for 20 mins bare bottom on display, call me out of the corner pull me over her knee and smack my bare bottom, after that I had another 20 mins with my red bottom on display.

Over the years as I got older I was embarrassed many times with people seeing me in and out of my pyjamas or corner time with my bottom on display, even my sister who was from the age of nine smacked only in private brought some of her friends round to see me suffering pyjama time...

I grew up the 60s and pajamas were sometimes part of the spankings. Sometimes my mom would say, just wait until your father gets home - go get in your in pajamas. My dad came home just about dinner time and if you were in pajamas at the dinner table, that meant after dinner, you were going get good from him. We wore no undershorts under the pajamas, so when the bottom part came down you were totally exposed for the spanking. My parents always spanked bare butt but the never used their hands, always an implement. Dad the hairbrush or a small paddle and Mom a wooden spoon and sometimes the hairbrush. I got OTK until 12 and on the bed or bent over a chair til 17. Before bed spankings though started in pajamas either to the ankles but most often off, so you were naked from the waist down.

If I was spanked late in the day I sometimes got told to change into my PJs and stay in my room unless I was called. Thinking about this reminded me of that I did get spanked one time for wearing briefs under my PJs.

The rule in my house was no underwear under PJs, but after spending the night at a friends house and seeing he wore briefs under his bottoms I started copying him back at home. After a few days, my mother noticed and told me not to do it again, that it was dirty to wear the underpants you'd been wearing all day. I didn't think she'd notice again so I kept on doing it.

Not long after, while I was lying on the floor watching TV she must have noticed the waistband or the seams under the PJ cloth. "Dustin! What did tell you about no underpants!" She turned to my father on the couch, "I specifically told him, no underwear to bed. He deliberately disobeyed me!". My father told me to come over to him. He didn't even say anything more, just tugged PJ bottoms and briefs down to my ankles, turned me over his lap and spanked me for a good long time. By the time he was done, mom was gone, and he said, "Do what your mother tells you or we'll do this again with the paddle."

Memory jogging topic.

I too was told to 'get into your pajamas'. Which meant I was in some kind of trouble. Usually I knew what it was about, but sometimes not. I learned not to ask 'is it about...?', because if you were wrong you'd just made the situation worse for yourself.

If I was also restricted to my room that meant a spanking/paddling was coming. If not, you maybe had a chance of avoiding that. Being in pajamas also meant you were effectively grounded and restricted to the house. It also meant the 'no TV' rule was in effect. So, your distractions were limited and were left to consider your wrong doing and worry about your fate.

Like most here, Pajamas were never worn over underpants. Since I never wore pajama tops the pajama bottoms were the only thing keeping me from being naked. They always came down or off for the actual spanking.

By age 11 I always slept naked, but pajamas were still worn as lounge wear at night before bed and on weekend mornings, etc.

Sometimes me, my siblings and my cousins would be told to get into our pyjamas in preparation for a spanking! Sometimes with the instruction to not "bother putting on our (pyjama) bottoms" as "we would not be needing them", anyway! On occasions we would be instructed to take a bath before getting into our pyjamas; the rationale being that it would soften up the skin on our buttocks, thus making the spanking even more painful and effective! My Aunt Rose was particularly keen on this practice!
