Spankings for me were always just a brief, quick punishment, like to get me to stop doing something, a quick swat. Really didn’t have the longer drawn-out, over the knee, or any of that. But, I did see my friends, or their brothers, get more of the full treatment. I saw friends also get something quick, but it involved a lot more, like having pants, and maybe underwear, pulled down before the slaps. Sometimes this was in public places, like outside, or in a store.
One time that I always remember was a bit older, my friend and I were about 8 or 9, and it was actually over a misunderstanding. We were sitting having lunch at kitchen table, joking about what his younger brother would do if his pants were pulled down and he got spanked, which I’d seen their mother do, before. But, his mother overheard us, and thought we had done this, so she rushed over to the table, pulled my friend up from his chair, undid his belt, unbuttoned and unzipped his pants and pushed them to the floor, then she yanked his underwear down to his ankles. She asked him if he thought it was so funny now? He stood there a bit shocked. I remember his penis sticking straight out, in a partial erection, as he stood there right next to the kitchen table. He protested, that we hadn’t done that, we were just joking about it. His mother realized her overreaction, but said it wasn’t nice to joke about such things either. And, she told him he could pull his pants back up again. He did so, but was rather shaken by all this.
Never really happened to me, but my memories of seeing my friends spanked, and/or depanted, and their humiliation, have stayed with me.
