Does anyone else wish they got more spankings growing up?

Yes, got some but while it scared me, it excited me as well.

I Do 😈😈

I thank the guardian angels I don't believe in, that I was never spanked when growing up. In fact, the very notion of being spanked made my blood boil in anger. Nothing more cowardly than a grown-up beating on a youngster who couldn't defend themselves.

Of course I was aware of the need for some kind of corrective punishment, but just nothing involving hitting, swatting, spanking, wacking etc. All it would have done is build up an ever growing resentment and desire to get back at the perpetrators.

So, I can safely say that it would never ever have even crossed my mind fleetingly to actually ask for a spanking. Frankly, when I saw the question here on Zity I couldn't believe it at first. Why would a child ask for a spanking? Perhaps to avoid a worse punishment? That is conceivable, but even so, I don't gather this was the general idea behind the question.

I had plenty of spankings growing up, so I didn't need to wish for more.

Perhaps if your childhood spankings had been less plentiful, then you might have craved more?

Oh geeze no. Those probably bordered actual child abuse.

I didn't think of it as child abuse 50 years ago, and nobody else said that in those days. Why do you think that is, Nixie?

I remember a couple RTs from a babysitter but never a spanking.

What are RTs?

Rectal temperature. This abbreviation is used in numerous posts all over Zity.

I had just a few spankings from my dad. It was one of my close friends who had it a lot. I even witnessed his punishment a couple of times. If I had a Time Machine I’d go back to those days when we did something wrong with him for which he was spanked and I was not. I would say to his dad we are friends, we did it together and we should share responsibility, so I feel I should also be punished. I am sure his dad wouldn’t hesitate at that time to spank me along with his own son.

Spanking friends' sons wasn't the done thing when I was a kid. My dad would have said "If my son needs a spanking I'll do it".

It wasn’t very uncommon where I was growing up. And also, I’d never tell my parents about such things.

I never got spanked as a child, not that it wasn't a think, cause it was. I remember my siblings and cousins being spanked, and being terrified! So my question is, do you think my loving spanking, is due to me seeing others get spanked but I never did?!

I think it is probably a combination of factors. Seeing others get spanked certainly could trigger it. Some of us are just wired this way and it doesn't take much to draw our attention to it.

Seeing another boy getting spanked was what triggered it in me, but the desire to be spanked must have been already dormant in my nature otherwise it simply wouldn't have been aroused that time, full stop.

@agracier There were spankings and then there were 'spankings' that did verge on and qualify as physical abuse.

The spanking that I was aware of when young in the early 1950's were not because of their severity, but instead because of frequency.

No, I feel like I was spanked plenty, but I have fantasised about getting spanked for things I did that I wasn't caught for.

No but i wish i could get them now

Guess I got the right amount of spanking discipline growing up… Got it when I needed to be corrected.. My mother kept a switch (skinny tree branch) on top of the refrigerator and it would serve as a reminder to behave.

I would have definitely liked to receive more spankings from my Aunt, they were all when I was in my mid teens and I already knew I liked spankings.

I had spankings until I was around 8 or 9. My mom and dad believed in them as a way to teach me from right and wrong. It was far from abusing me or beating me. My mom and dad always did it out of love for me. When they spanked me it was usually bare butt and a quick slap just enough to sting a bit not hurt of cause a lasting hurt. Of course I would cry and fuss and that is when my my or dad would explain to me exactly why they had to spank me and what to do so they did not have to do this to me again. This is how it should be to discipline kids. Unfortunately a few abused kids and beat their children and then society turned away from all kinds of spankings. It is ashame...

It's probably for the best that I wasn't, especially since my parents were erratic and impulsive, but part of me wishes I had realistic memories to draw on now.

In a magical fantasy world I'd like to be re-parented by a strict but loving couple for a period of time.

Wish for MORE spankings growing up? No thanks...I got more than my fair share of spankings growing up, both at home and in school, from as early as I can remember until a paddling I got in 12th grade at school.

Maybe it's not just about age. After each spanking, I tried so hard to convince myself that nothing happened at all, that I also forgot many details and my memories are incomplete and hazy. The last spanking I got was when I was 10. Today I regret that I did not remember such events in more detail.

I hated being spanked growing up. I dreaded it with such intensity. It was humiliating, painful and made me feel childish. I definitely didn't wish for more.

Now I love it though.

I was spanked well into my teens both at home and school, and I think I received more than enough at the time.

In a way, yes. I wasn’t a bad kid but I got pleeeenty of spankings, probably more than most people would think someone who was generally well behaved should have gotten. My mom was from the country of Georgia which is known for having a very traditional culture, so things like manners, tone of voice, and posture mattered a lot to her. She was also the type she if she ever had to tell me to do something more than once then that was going to become a big problem for me.

But there is a part of me that wished it happened more often than it did. I liked that type of attention, and as ironic as it sounds I felt very safe while being very vulnerable. Like yes, she was hitting me to hurt me, but she never abused me. She was always very sweet afterwards and always found a way to have “us” time after I was punished. I appreciated that she cared and loved me enough to correct me when she thought I needed correcting. So even though my butt stung til I cried and had marks that would hurt for a day or two there was a part of me that really yearned for it and just felt like it was correct in a way that I can’t quite put into words.

Nope. I got plenty of spanking when I was growing up. It was the main punishment my parents and all my friends' parents used, and they had all shared permission to spank with each other. It seems like I got spanked at least once a week, sometimes more than once in a day even, until I was in my teens, and then it slowly tapered off, but didn't stop until I left home when I joined the Navy.

Not as punishments, but god I wish I'd played spanking games and doctor with my peers. Especially girls.
