How many STRAIGHT men would spank or be spanked by another man?

The last time I was spanked by a male was when I was a pledge in my fraternity in the 1980s !

On sexual orientation:

I find chatting here with other men (of any orientation) very pleasurable, and the idea of being examined or spanked by a man is provocative. But from across a room, I have never looked at a man and felt an immediate sexual attraction like I would on seeing an attractive woman. I can say that a man is handsome, fit, etc, but the internal, primal reaction just isn't the same. And yet, if it's a firm hand across the bare bottom, or a gentle hand taking a rectal temperature, it doesn't matter whose hand it is.

This is by no means an exhaustive description, and I'm not sure what to call it or how to fully describe it. (edit: To be honest, I shy away from labels because a label indicates that a phenomenon is cataloged, and the matter can be closed. I'm still exploring.)

Many guys need the discipline and it’s not related to sex. The severity of the spanking depends on the individual. Some like the hand, others an implement such as a paddle, brush etc and occasionally the belt.

I want the guy over my knee, butt bare but tell them up front to let me know if I’m spanking to hard, not hard enough or they need the “paddle”. I’m an ecumenical spanker, will do m/fe couples and always reward the guy with the more intense discipline to his rear end

So far the fe enjoys seeing her man getting it

Im straight and do get spanked by a man sometimes. My gf and i have a third party friend for that. Ive never given to a guy but id be open to it.

I am straight. Spanking is my fetish but it's not a sexual thing for me. It's about the chemistry between me and my punisher. When I am punished, it's a formal serious occasion. What matters is the credibility and authority of the person dealing with me - I have to believe in their power and take them seriously - and their ability to administer a serious thrashing that will hurt. So I don't care about the sex of the person who will be disciplining me, and the reality is that they are normally male.

When arranging a meeting with someone new, I do like to talk to them a fair bit first to understand what they are looking for out of a session and if I get any hint of them wanting a sexual element to a session then it doesn't go any further.

And the reality is, if it's a proper serious beating, my focus is on managing the pain and not thinking about the sex of the person who is administering it.

Having said that, there is a sense of awkwardness and discomfort being exposed to another male, but I'm not sure it would be that different if it was a woman in the same circumstances.

My high school friend Max admitted to me that he'd fantasized about it. We lost touch after college so I don't know what ever came of it.
