Are you glad you were spanked as a kid?

It was ok .. times have changed I guess for some .. we got spanked at home by mom .. school we got paddled kindergarten though 10 grade.. in your parents signed permission slip.. 11th and 12th grade no ..

Looking back,,, for sure!

Hi GOFS, firstly, sorry for not replying to you sooner! I was not being rude I simply got distracted and forgot about your post! It will not happen again I assure you! My wife on hearing about my carelessness, gave me a sound, over the knee, bare bottom hand spanking! God that woman can spank!!

LOL Secondly, I am so glad you enjoy my posts and that I am your favorite poster; praise indeed!

To answer your questions: just about all of my friends and acquaintances got spanked! Just about everybody seemed to believe in spanking in those days! The '60s and '70s. And they put those beliefs into practice, for sure! I think I knew of only a couple of families where spanking were not practiced! In one of those families the parents were child psycologists! One of my Mom's friends was a social worker and even she believed in the occasional good spanking! So I did not really know that many kids who were not spanked; though I have to say that the kids in those two families did not 'mind' as much as other youngsters did!

I do think that most of the kids today and those also from more recent generations have 'missed out' on spankings!!!! They are much worse behaved and do not have anything like the same amount of respect and fear of their elders and betters than the youngsters of the '60s and '70s did! I started to notice a change in the attitudes of children and teenagers in the late '80s and early '90s! I am utterly convinced that what really kept us in line was knowing that a damned good spanking was always 'just around the corner' if we needed it!

I often felt that we sometimes got spanked for fairly minor misdemeanors! But that is just my humble opinion! Our spankings themselves were fairly standard for the times! Not excessive at all! Our bottoms were scarlet, glowing and hot and tender to the touch. The 'sit spots' were especially sensitive. We might be left with some minor bruising usually around the crowns (center) of the buttocks and in particular the 'sit spots' - oh boy oh boy how much those 'sit spots' HURT - but they faded quite quickly. Sitting for two or three days was uncomfortable! I think, by and large, my parents got it right, discipline wise! My Aunt, however, definitely had a spanking fetish and often spanked us kids for her own pleasue and indulgence! In spite of this, I had a good relationship with her and she spoilt me in other ways! Also her 'fun spankings' (always bare bottom also) whilst they stung plenty were not as bad as her punishment spankings! As I got older I even started a little to enjoy them! Though they hurt and the tears flowed freely! LOL On may levels, in 'hindsight' - no pun intended - I benefited and usually, fully deserved my spankings! For sure!!!!

There is absolutely no doubt that my childhood and teenage bare bottom spankings and the many I witnessed others getting, gave me my spanking fetish and fascination with female bottoms! This fetish and obsession has also both now and even when I was a kid, made my memories of those years more pleasant and less dreadful than they would otherwise have been! The pain, fear and misery of those spankings are indelibly tinged with excitement and sexual and erotic thrills! It is an enormous and indeible part of my life!

I hope, GOFS, that answers all, or at least most of your questions!

😳embarrassing 😳 isn’t it?

Embarrassing is right. I also got spanked into my teens, my last one I was almost 16.

After shower, towel pulled off butt naked spanked, sent to bedroom naked after told not to get dressed because "I'm not done with you yet". Luckily he actually was done and never came into my room to spank more and I ended up falling asleep naked with a sore butt.

The teen spankings were so embarrassing because for a few reasons. First I felt way to old to be naked and spanked like a little kid. Second, things were developing down there. So having my penis and balls exposed and flopping around was embarrassing. Then I would usually be sent to my room naked (or bottomless) the calm down and reflect. And in the teen years almost always got a boner during that time, which would be seen by my brother as we shared a room, sometimes parents and a few times my sister.

However all that being said, I'm ok with the fact I got spanked. Brother and sister did too. Knew a couple friends who did too. It's kind of just the way it was.

However, it did create a huge spanking/embarrassment kink as I grew up, which I really enjoy, so I guess that's a positive too

No worries Paul. Your eventual response more than adequately covered my questions.

Likewise sorry for my slow response. I hadn't looked at this site in a little while so I was slow to notice your reply. Unfortunately for me I don't have anyone to punish me with a sound spanking like you do with your wife! Does your wife mostly give you hand spankings? Or does she occasionally use a hairbrush on your bare bottom like your Mom and Aunt did back in the day? If so, does it bring back a lot of memories?

No, I'm not glad. Spanking children is harmful.

For those of you who grew up with spankings, how do you feel about it now? Are you glad your parents spanked you growing up? Or would you rather have had an un-spanked childhood instead?

Those spankings molded me into the person, good or bad, that I am. I learned to not do or at least not get caught doing the things that would get me spanked. I can see there is a difference in my sister and myself behavior and character over my younger brothers who were not spanked, times had already changed by then.

That's great!

Sometimes she just uses her hand, which believe me, IS HARD ENOUGH! Also, as was the case with my Mom and Aunt, hand spankings were - when they chose not to use the hairbrush (mostly my Aunt) - long ones! In the end your bottom felt so hot, tingly and tender! As it does when my wife tans my tushie with her hand! But the unmistakable searing burn of the hairbrush is something to truly fear and dread! My wife has a very old, heavy and solid mahogany one and BOY OH BOY OH BOY, DOES IT EVER STING, BURN AND HURT!!! The spanky dance after a workout with THE HAIRBRUSH has a rhythm, tempo and movement all of its own! When my wife spanks me you better believe it when I say it does bring back memories! Painful ones with a touch of nostalgia!

Spanking was not part of my growing up. As the youngest child, by the time I came along my mother was very skilled in guilting and emotional manipulation as a means of discipline.

The only physical punishment I ever experienced was a punch in the mouth IMMEDIATELY after biting my father once.

Not that I am glad but I don’t think it had any bad lasting effect on my psychology or anything else.

Honestly, no. I was never fully comfortable around my parents because of it. I was not a wilful child. Almost all of my "misbehaviour" was me simply not knowing how I was expected to behave, or not being able to control my emotions. My parents did not work with me on any of that, they just hit me. It taught me nothing except that my parents weren't safe to be around. When I was younger I was firmly in the "I got spanked and I turned out fine" camp. Now that I'm older I can see how it negatively affected our relationship.

No

In a word, NO!!!

That is a very good question. I have a thing about accepting my past, regardless of some of the things I went through, because it shaped who I am. And I like who am, weird kinks and all.

I also feel that, given that I grew up during a time when spanking was common and accepted, I pretty much deserved the spankings I got. I would push my mom to see just how far I could go, and then be surprised when she "snapped", and went for the kitchen spoon or a hairbrush (whichever was closer), and smacked my little butt fervently. Obviously, I didn't enjoy that, but I will say that I often liked the tingle in my bottom once the worst of the sting subsided. So, given all of those factors, I can definitely say that I am okay with the fact that I was spanked as a kid.

"Glad", though... That is a whole other level. From my adult perspective and with a great distance of time, I suppose I can look back and say part of me is glad I was spanked. Actually the best "proof" of that is the guilt I felt once after being naughty one time and NOT getting spanked. I honestly carried that guilt for decades. So, there you go. At the very least, in my perspective and in the time I grew up, spankings alleviated me of any guilt afterwards. For that reason alone I can say that I am glad I got spanked.

@CajunOkie "No, I'm not glad. Spanking children is harmful."

I find it interesting that you feel you can speak to the experience of all children who have been spanked with such knowledge and such certainty.

Perhaps you feel you were harmed by being spanked. I can certainly accept that. However, I do not feel that way. But just as I cannot speak to your experience and reaction to it, you cannot speak to mine.

I grew up in the 50’s & 60’s when spanking was a very common practice. I had 4 siblings and as far as I know none of us were ever spanked. My dad used to threaten us with a belt spanking, but it never actually happened. Most of my friends were spanked at home and would openly talk about it, and often show the results by showing their red butts.

I was totally fascinated by spanking as long as I can remember and wanted to receive one just to feel the experience for myself. As kids we would play house or school, and I wanted to be the naughty boy who needed to be spanked, but it was just not the real thing. As an adult I did go to a few female disciplinarians, only to be disappointed over and over again. My wife wanted nothing to do with spanking, and would not indulge in my fantasies. So here I am in my seventies still wanting to experience the real thing, but now afraid that I might have a heart attack if I tried it.

So to answer your question I wish I had been spanked as a kid, if I had, maybe I wouldn’t have waisted so much time thinking about it…

Yes, but other methods could have been useful. I guess I'm great full they followed through with discipline.

I earned those spankings. My brother and I were not spanked for ignorance or making a dumb mistake that kids always make. You got spanked in our house when you didn't something defiant or dangerous. We had common sense even as kids. You knew damn well that if you got caught doing something you weren't supposed to do your butt was going to get whooped.

My mother would delegate my discipline to my father who would come home around 6 pm. He was tired and very often gave me a quick but very hard spanking, each time leaving my ass red and sore.

My mother was a real viper, after my father spanked me I had to stay naked from the waist down for the rest of the day, to remember that I had been naughty that day.

The spankings from my father were the worst, until I was 12 years old he would make me strip naked and spank me until I had a "hot as my hot head" ass.

Unfortunately, my mother became ill when I was 8 years old, my parents had to move to another town and left me in the care of my maternal uncle.

From him I received most of my childhood spankings.

I was very naughty as a child and all the spankings I got I deserved. I was not happy to get spankings as a child, but now I understand that I deserved them and they helped me grow up.

I got a LOT of spankings as a kid, and as a kid I hated it. I also saw my friends and their brothers and sisters get spanked, and fellow students at school get the paddle. Even then, I liked seeing someone else getting spanked, schadenfreude, I suppose. As an adult I realize how the spankings did me good in a number of ways. First of all they kept me on the straight and narrow, so I never got into serious trouble. Also though, I noticed, and have discussed this with others I grew up with, that kids who get a lot of spankings usually develop the roundest, firmest butts, the kind that the opposite sex find so attractive from your teen years onward. So, I am glad I was spanked a lot as a kid, and I'm glad my wife was too, and the feeling is mutual.

I am glad that my parents spanked me being a bratty and wild girl that cannot sit down for long because I was super active girl.

I created problems for them almost everyday and was also a tomboy bullying the smaller children around the neighbourhood.

The spanking taught me to behave and respect for others. In my late teens due to all the punishment I received I learned to control myself and more ladylike.

However having said the above old habits die hard and get bratty and loud. I am glad that my husband will spanked some sense back into me.

Looking back, I definitely am glad that I was spanked all the way up through college. The older years were not that often but if family rules were broken, my mom would not hesitate to take me over her knee, bare my bottom, and give me a proper spanking. the serverity according to the transgression. Spankings were never done in anger nor frustration with my behavior (I was a bit of a handful growing up) but with a great deal of love and caring and encouragement afterward to do better in the future. Spankings also gave me the wonderful kink of enjoying a good sound spanking as long as it is consensual. Denise

@Denise Yes. Your post brought back memories. My experiences were the same. There was nothing like having leather applied to your bare bottom for coming in drunk.

Glad? No not really.

I misbehaved at primary school in the 1960s and as such I remember being called out in front of the classroom and pulled over the female teachers lap.

She smacked me hard 6 times across my shorts and it really hurt.

I was never spanked as a child but definitely should have been spanked a lot because of all the temper tantrums and yelling and cussing at my mom now I want to experience a spanking. But it's hard to find someone to give me a spanking. Please help me get my first spanking

Yes, in hindsight, I believe that being spanked as a kid had some positive effects. It taught me important lessons about boundaries and consequences. While it wasn't always pleasant, it helped me understand that actions have results and that there are certain behaviors that are not acceptable. These lessons have stayed with me and helped shape my sense of responsibility and respect for rules.

I agree with this statement. Spanking a child is painful, it arouses shame and fear. But it teaches you not to do certain things. If the parent is consistent, spanking where necessary, it has positive effects.

I believe so. Maybe this is real odd, but I actually found them to be very exciting.

Back-in-the-day for certain families, administered in a caring way I think there were times spankings worked well. While I wouldn't advocate for spanking in today's world there may be cases where mutual agreement between two consenting adults, including wives, husbands, grown children, spanking might still work.

As for myself I am glad I grew up in a time when spankings were considered a reasonable option by many parents, including my own. My spankings were applied by my mother with regret and in a caring way. It was something she believed I needed and generally, while I might be protesting I didn't need to be spanked this time, I knew I did need, were fair, and helpful.

I never enjoyed them growing up (they aroused me for other reasons), but as an adult now I understand why it happened. I don’t think it was ever too much and I’m glad I was disciplined.

I believe everything that happend to us made us to who we are today. I'm happy the way everything turned out with me so im glad 😃.
