Did parents, teachers and other adults derive sexual pleasure from spanking?

My girlfriend told me her stepmother sometimes stripped to her underwear when she spanked her, while she had to undress completely. On that occasions, she was clearly aroused. Wet spot in her panties, erect nipples, etc. She also grabbed her by the hips or shoulders and even fondled her body in a relatively subtle way. She did the same when spanking me, except for the stripping to her underwear part, but there were times when she spanked me in short shorts and a sports bra.

I've heard rumours that some of them did, but I make it a golden rule not to listen to rumours unless it's a Fleetwood Mac album. I suspect that the real reason spanking was abolished in schools was because they found out masochistic pupils were enjoying being on the receiving end when they "weren't supposed to". What do you folks think about that?

I'll go with abusive teachers getting their jollies from being allowed to dole out spankings according to their personal whims, especially bare buttocks or naked spankings. These kind of situations can often easily evolve into outright sexual abuse.

I doubt that the concept of masochistic pupils enjoying a spanking was even thought to exist.

I believe that they must have at lest enjoyed what they were doing or would not have spanked so many so often

Perhaps the enjoyment was more of dominance, control, or sadistic rush than sexual when spanking boys. Especially when a female teacher or frustrated nun spanked either a boy or a girl. Questionable whether there may have been a bit of sexual element if male teachers spanked middle or high school girls.

"I doubt that the concept of masochistic pupils enjoying a spanking was even thought to exist"

Considering I was in primary school when I first felt the urge to be smacked by a girl and it was at least a decade before I even knew there were such words as "masochist" or "fetish", then I would say the authorities knew perfectly well such a concept existed. The concept of masochism is so old it's even more than a century older than the guy it was named after (Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, born 1836). Proof: the Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau (born 1712) was known to have enjoyed being spanked by women when he was about 10. From that I would say the powers-that-be had a pretty good idea what was going on with spanked pupils in school in the 1960s and 70s.

I've noticed whenever I mention this particular topic, people always focus on the sadistic teachers more than the masochistic pupils. Why do you think that is, agracier?

Because I for one have never encountered any pupils who were like that. It was an axiomatic assumption, certainly at that age, that pain is not pleasurable and therefore one does not go looking for it.

I've known stupid, shortsighted kids who did things that would get them punished, but then again they always tried getting out of being punished by coming up with all kinds of (lame, pathetic) excuses. That would therefore not be the definition of a masochist.

Besides, in the schools I went to, punishments consisted of writing essays, pages long in cursive, that moreover had to make some sort of logical sense. Not any of that 100x writing 'I am a bad boy' sort of nonsense, but actual 16 page long handwritten essays on a subject.

So how did I start having masochistic urges to be smacked by girls when I was in primary school? I guess it brings me back to another comment I posted on this site where one is either born like that or one is not. This is proof that I was.

I thought we discussing spankings doled out by teachers, parents and other adults.

Fooling around with girls of your age and letting them/getting them to spank you is something different. Perhaps start a thread about that particular subject.

I could also perhaps surmise that letting them spank you is the next best thing to physical contact. If you as a boy are not allowed to touch, kiss or fool around with girls (as is the usual case), then having them spank you is the next best alternative. And then, who knows, a person might develop a taste for that specific activity.

So maybe we are back at behavioral shaped preferences over innate born traits again.

I also secretly enjoyed being spanked by female teachers at that age, so it wasn't only about girls in my class. Why would I enjoy it when a female teacher smacked my bottom for arriving in class late (because I'd been to the toilet and the bell rang while I still in there)?
