Were You Ever Spanked In Front Of Friends As A Child Or Vice Versa?

In childhood, was anyone ever spanked in front of their friends? I wasn't spanked as a kid, or rather I can count on one hand how many times I was. I couldn't imagine getting spanked in front of other kids but we witnessed my cousin's spankings often. Discuss?

When I was growing up in the 1970s and 80s, spanking was commonplace. I witnessed spankings occasionally at my cousins' when we were there as a group in the holidays. I was sometimes spanked in front of others on those occasions too. At school, most punishments were given in private, but occasionally a gym teacher would punish us in groups using a plimsoll. It always added to the embarrassment.
