Have you ever been spanked, paddled, whipped, or thrashed by a religious authority?

I never got spanked in Catholic schools while growing up. Years ago, I met with an ex-minister for several spankings. He liked using a hairbrush and a strap. He would laugh and chuckle when I cried out that it hurt. "It's supposed to hurt!" He would make me wear a skirt, then lift it up and yank my underwear down to my knees.

Then there was an ex-priest. He used a ruler and a belt on me. He was very serious, all business, and did not stop until he felt he had been effective. I wish I could have met with him more. I've moved around the country and lost contact with them. I've fantasized that I would be given a purging to clean me out, or have to take a toy inserted rectally for punishment, but have never done that part in real life.

No, I have only been spanked by my parents.

I was only spanked by my mother and aunt. Almost got spanked by my friend's mom after Kenny was spanked.

Once in the coat-hang, Rachel let go of my earlobe, instructed me to hand her the Junior-rod, and instructed me to strip.

Did you have to remove all of your clothes?

There are scores of stories depicting flagellation throughout history as a religious practice , and we have also heard of corporal punishment being used in parochial schools. But seldom do we hear of this practice today (unless incorporated in some third world country's penal system) Please share a story of any such activities taking place in recent years. Please only share actual true accounts, not your fantasy.

In my country, there are certain military facilities where corporal punishment is a non-written rule. It´s always given fully naked, even if the disciplined soldier in question is female, but, in that case, another female soldier must be present. If there isn´t any available, she is allowed to keep her underwear.

You really should name your country if you wish anyone to give any credence to this. Especially the fully naked part.

While corporal punishment given to recruits/conscripts does sound believable, the fully naked part for females does not. Certainly not as an officially sanctioned practice.

I grew up in NZ in the 80s, in a Catholic family and church community. At my Catholic school I got the ruler on my hand once, and got my hand slapped at Christian camp. Both places used strapping as a punishment for serious or recalcitrant offending, which terrified me.

I saw some spankings at school, usually boys. One day when teacher was out of room, some 7-8 year old boys lined up desks and tried to jump over them. When teacher returned, she had each boy bend over, asked 'are you ready?' and waited for the reply, and really walloped them with her bare hand.

I went to Catholic schools in the 80's/90's and there were times I would have MUCH rather been hit than deal with some of the sadistic punishments the nuns came up with since they couldn't hit us. I had one nun who would make me clap erasers, knowing I am SUPER allergic to chalk. My parents spanked me growing up and I'd have taken a hundred of those over the hives and sneezing from the erasers. Weird, I know, but one was over and done with quickly, the other took a long time to complete and then had to deal with the hives.

Nuns can indeed be sadistic and mean-spirited. All sunshine and love in their hearts one day and then days of suppressed anger and lashing out at the slightest incident. In my experience they were not very level-headed. Nuns could hold a grudge the whole school-year through.

I also went to a Jesuit high school afterwards and while they have a reputation for being hard-nosed and no-nonsense disciplinarians, I never experienced them as being unfair or mercurial. They were strict of course, but even-keeled.

Uruguay. As I´ve said, it´s a non-written rule, an unofficial policy of just a few facilities.

@Nemo_Sum ...

Rachel instructed me to, "Strip down to your boxers, bend over the back of the chair, and grasp the seat of the chair." She then lowered my boxers to my ankles. After receiving my thrashing, I was instructed to, "Pull up your boxers and get dressed."

Also, I thought you might have said your country is Israel (there's a not-officially-sanctioned corporal punishment subculture in certain units of the IDF, and paramilitary units). But I'm not surprised that you were describing a Uruguayan military subculture. Even in the U.S. there are paramilitary units where training includes some pretty intense scenarios.

No

@BottomFromTheTop Did you have a boner when you were being spanked?

@Nemo_Sum ...

Yes, I had an erection when my boxers were lowered, and for the first 5-10 strokes of the switch, but it subsided as the thrashing became more intense.

It's not unusual for boys (starting just before puberty or during puberty) and men to become erect when stripped for corporal punishment. It's not something that surprised parents, educators, coaches, or other disciplinarians when I was growing up. We understood the biology.

Girls and women are also frequently biologically aroused when spanked, but it's not as noticeable, so it's easy for females to deny.

Biological sexual arousal was not considered a valid reason to "spare the rod" when raising/training/correcting boys and girls in "the good old days". When we deserved a good "tanning", we received it, and the biological arousal usually subsided quickly... as the [typically bare] bottom heated up.

In junior and senior high schools, it wasn't unusual to see scarlet butts with stripes or welts when showering in the boys' and girls' locker rooms. Of course, I never showered in the girls' locker room, but boys and girls share stories. And boys and girls often saw other boys and girls receiving their punishments (especially brothers and sisters).

No, not by any religious authority.

I went to a Jesuit university and had the same experience with the Jebs as well. Super reasonable guys. For those following along with March Madness, go Zags!

This is a TRUE Story...

I attended an ALL MALE Catholic High School of about 200 students in the early-mid 1960’s. This was in Southern California and was taught by priests. Being Catholic, theology class, was an important part of our education. For every religion class, we had to memorize long bible passages for assignments and recite them back in class. God forbid if you could not complete your recitation. Father XXXXX, who was severely overweight, would come out of his chair and waddle down the aisle and thrash you (pummel is a better word) if you did not know your assigned lesson. One time, after several did not know there recitations, he really “lost it” when the kid right in front of me was actually taken out in the hall by his collar and had his head smashed into the lockers because he did not know his lesson for the day. He ended up getting several stitches in his forehead as a result. When his parents complained, they were reminded that corporal punishment was part of the process at this school and they had signed a contract allowing it!!!!

Lunchtime was always interesting, too. It was a good time to hit the toilets and take care of #2 business... BUT the principal of this school would actually monitor the toilets, peeking through the door cracks, not checking to see if you were smoking, but to make sure you were not masturbating. He had a big stick he would put under the door hitting your feet/legs if he thought you might be touching yourself. I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE! You were only allowed three minutes to take a shit! After that, you were yelled at and were told to stop playing with yourself. Years later, this priest, was convicted of child molestation among other things....

Our priest who taught biology was another one who liked to hit students with a closed fist on the top of their heads! Ouch! I can’t count the number of headaches I had in that class. Years later, he too, was also convicted on pedophilia charges.

Girls were always portrayed as sinful and we needed to be separated from them to avoid sin. But reluctantly, every quarter, they would allow a school dance with the girls from the ALL FEMALE school across town. The priests from our school and the nuns from the girls school would all carry a 12-inch ruler which they used to separate the boys and girls while dancing. You HAD TO STAY a foot away from your dance partner at all times or both the boy’s and girl’s knuckles were abused on the spot. I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE!

It is amazing that the vast majority of us actually survived all this abuse and grew up to be productive and “normal” citizens. I’d love to hear of other similar experiences like this you had growing up!

@Switchablesuise: You were a girl. Spanking your ass was the closest he ever came to another person's sex organs, except for the boys getting their punishments.

So very true! I've often thought if it were not for what you mentioned, there would have allot less spankings.
