Are you glad you were spanked as a kid?

I am grateful to my parents for what they did to help me in becoming a good person. Even if something was not particularly pleasant at the time, it was, I think necessary. Never I would blame my dad for anything.

I think spankings as a kid made me a better kid and a better adult. Kept me from veering off the strait and narrow and getting into real trouble. And I'm sure that's why my parents kept a wooden paddle in the kitchen closet and that's why we received spankings.

My parents never spanked us kids in anger and spankings were never abusive. Mom or Dad always explained in matter-of-fact terms why we were being spanked. We knew the rules and we knew the consequences for breaking the rules so spankings did not come as a surprise.

Yes, I'm glad, but not for the reason that many people mention here - namely that it would make me a better person, or that I was saved from bad decisions or a bad life path. I don't believe that. I'm glad because these authentic experiences feed my fetishistic imagination without feeling guilty. I'm glad because I'm not one of those who feel deprived of real experience.
