Introduction and origin of spanking interest.

Hi Guys my name is Paul and I just thought I would introduce myself. Was born in 1958. Spanking extremely common where I grew up. Seemed to be everywhere in fact! Think my interest in it definitely stems from the social environment I grew up in. Was this the case for others with similar leanings? Or did a particular incident spark that interest? Would love to hear other members experiences and opinions concerning this.Would love to share my experiences and memories with you!

I was spanked as a kid, though not painfully (a few times the spankings were quite stingy, but nothing too bad). On the bare. I think it left a mark.

Hi Pecan, My spankings were not excessive by the standards of the time. But like you they sure did leave a mark (both physically and psychologically) lol. Man they were certainly stingy and BOY did they ever hurt as well! But they were fairly typical of the kind of old fashioned mostly bare bottom discipline of the time. Sixties and early Seventies America.

Hi Pecan, Both my parents spanked over the knee. Mom used her wooden hairbrush or when that was not readily available her hand. Dad used just his hand which let me tell you was hard enough!

As a product of the 60s, yes spanking was very common and very open. I received regular bare bottom spankings from my mom growing up and there was nothing pleasurable about it. But, I did enjoy seeing and hearing others get spanked.

Hi Richard, It's a funny thing how often traditionalists and conservatives bemoan the 60's and 70's as permissive eras that are the source of so many of our problems today. Yet in the communities I grew up in, when it came to spanking, anyway(and many other things as well), they were ULTRA CONSERVATIVE! Oh boy were they!!!!!!! For so many kids then, 'old fashioned bare bottom discipline' was the norm. When I think of the swinging sixties I think of Mom's Hairbrush and Dad's Hand swinging through the air to connect with our bottoms! lol

Traditionalists and conservatives have been bemoaning and bitching about what they call permissiveness since humans started living in huts after moving out of caves. It is always the same old story with variations: everything was so much better in the past, kids are spoiled and have messed up society, they have no respect for tradition or their elders. The world is going to hell in a hand-basket, the Apocalypse is nigh.

Ho hum, ho hum. How boring an argument.

And yet even here on Zity we are virtually deluged with stories and reminiscences of how the 60 and 70s were the golden age of spanking, (punishment) enemas and so on. People knew their place and kept to it or there were consequences. A seeming contradiction, no?

In the US and actually in France too, the 60s are such a convenient scapegoat for whatever traditionalists feel ails society today. Blame it on the hippies (of all hapless groups to single out for goodness sakes), blame it on so called 'radicals' or as in France, blame it on 'les evenements de soixante-huit'/'the events of '68'.

But at the same time, those bygone days are used to evoke nostalgia and a feeling we have lost 'the way' and that things were so much better in the past.

You can't have it both ways.

I was born in 1959 and experienced the same. Spankings were common. I definitely was interested in watching others getting spanked. My first spanking was by a friends mother at a party at 9. She warned me when i didn't stop she pulled me over her lap and gave me a good smack on the pants. Warning 2 was 2 smacks. I continued, she took me by the hand down stairs to the "spanking room" and told me to take everything but my pants and made it clear she would remove them. She unbuckled, unbuttoned, unzipped and pulled them down. She made me take them off and she pulled me over the lap for 10. She had me stand up and pulled them down a pulled me over the knee for another 10. Did i sub-consciously want to experience it?

No spankings at home, at least none that I can recall (but rectal temperatures, suppositories, DREs… which would give me a taste for anal play and a bittersweet idea of my hindquarters). I started fantasizing about spanking as an older teen.
