I had a friend that we both knew each other got spankings still at home. One night we were out and were both going to be getting home late…
l know just what you mean, LameUser name! Whether it was with my brother Mark or cousins Peter and Andrew, as well as a few friends and acquaintances as well, comparing the different states of our bottoms and who had come off better or worse was a fairly well established ritual! Of course some of my friends were a little coy about showing off their ‘war wounds’ or even revealing details about their spankings and whippings! Though their brothers and sisters were only too happy to provide us with the information!! LOL I think the post spanking ritual of mutual inspections was motivated by a number of things: Firstly, reciprocal comfort; since spankings, obviously, were painful and humiliating events to be greatly dreaded! They were in themselves highly ritualized procedures, at least in my case and that of my siblings and cousins as well as some of my friends and acquaintances,, full of emotion, drama, fear and even excitement! As victims who had each experienced this we were able to provide each other with comforting emotional support. Secondly, there was what one might call camaraderie and even a certain amount of pride when it came to spankings! Just about everybody got spanked; spankings and whippings were virtually impossible to completely avoid and trying to pretend you did not get them was futile! You were, so to speak, ‘a member of the club’ whether you liked it or not, so you might as well learn to live with and even share your experiences with others! Also many of us liked to maintain that our Moms wielded the ‘meanest hairbrush that left the ‘worst marks and most blisters’! Or our Daddy's belt was the thickest and heaviest and produced the most pronounced welts that talk the longest to fade and disappear! Bragging rights were really important!!! LOL And finally thirdly there was the erotic and sexual aspect also! Looking back now it is clear to me that the disciplinery spanking of children and teenagers was in many instances highly sexualised. Both from the perspective of the adult administering the spanking to the child and teenager receiving it! In the case of the former, it is clear that quite a few adults enjoyed giving kids spankings or at the very least did not find it a disagreeable task! I well remember my Aunt Rose for example, saying casually in the middle of a conversation about spanking ,with my Mom and several other ladies. “how cute” my cousins Peter and Andrew look when over her knee and how, after a recent spanking after being caught playing with matches, “their butt cheeks looked like two ripe tomatoes after I had finished applying the hairbrush”! Much to the amusement of the other ladies present, most of them mothers themselves! Mrs Gibson our next door neighbor then added; “And of course when the Good Lord created bottoms he designed them for spanking”!! A remark that produced much laughter and universal agreement from all those present. Remarks like this, and the frequency with which spanking was openly discussed often with references to ‘cute little bottoms’ and ‘sweet little butt cheeks’ left me in no doubt about the erotic and sexualised side to ‘purely disciplinery spanking’! From the point of view of the victims, us kids, l think for many of us spanking had a sexual and erotic dimension. Once the actual spanking was over and the intense, burning, heat on our bottoms had subsided to a warm and prickly glow I well remember those sexual and hormonal feelings you refer to, LameUser name; and indeed our dicks were hard!! Many times my brother Mark and I, as well as on occasions my cousins Peter and Andrew, had those feelings after our ‘rumps had been roasted’! Coupled with the female anatomy lesson I my brothers and cousins got when witnessing our sisters spankings (my cousins sisters also), along with sneaky looks at my friend Jack's Dad's Playboy Collection, it was spanking that aroused in me the first sexual awakenings and feelings of my life!
