Did childhood spankings cause a fetish?

I went to all the wrong schools … 😢

It certainly awoke my fetish. I think the fetish must have been there dormant all along, and then the moment it was aroused there was no going back.

I'd go with yes for me. Being strapped with the belt naked in front of my brothers definitely awakened something in me. My oldest brother is into it, but my middle brother, not so much.

I believe that I was born with a spanking fetish, but I think that being spanked as a child and witnessing spankings as a child most certainly contributed to my spanking fetish.

As far back as three, I can remember lying in my bed fantasizing about men and occasionally women, who were not my parents, spanking me with various implements. Some would be people I knew. Some would be people from TV shows. Sometimes other people were watching. Sometimes other people were getting spanked too. It was very stimulating to me. I started masturbating at an early age, and these were the things of my fantasies.

Like many of the people here, I didn’t particularly like getting spanked by my parents, especially my mother. I despised that, and it lead to a lot of anger and hatred toward her over the years. I didn’t mind my father spanking me as much. I’ve always been a daddy’s girl, so those spankings, while they hurt, somehow seemed ok because they came from him.

And like a lot of the previous posters, I looked up every word possible related to spanking in the dictionary, repeatedly. It got me excited and wet. And any mention of it in a movie or TV show, or better yet, a scene, was awesome.

The icing on the cake though was at school. My school practiced corporal punishment. It was complicated. I would for the most part feel bad for the student getting paddled or having their hand slapped with a ruler, but I would get sexually excited too. And even though I would endless imagine myself in that situation, I was thankful that it really wasn’t me because it would seriously complicate my life.

It was even better if it was a friend, or if a friend got spanked at their home, because then I could politely and delicately interview them about their experience and get more details for my fantasies.

So, for pretty much 40 years spanking has been an important part of my life. It’s a part that I often have to hide, unfortunately, but one I can’t live without since I’m a masochist submissive.

It did, I used to lie in bed at night thinkin of machines to spank me.

How old were you when you started to fantasize about spanking ?

In my case, no! Since the kind of spankings I got were not bare bottom or even over the knee! Also my spanking fetish predates them! I have been fascinated by spanking, literally for as long as I can remember!

Not in my case. I wasn't spanked much as a kid; no more than the occasional quick swat on the butt when I was quite young, for direct disobedience (I was pretty sassy). No drama or ritual around it, no pants down or even any humiliation involved.

I was well into my 30s before even thinking about it, and my interest began when reading a novel in which it was done to a woman by her fiancee, in a sort of "Taming of the Shrew" type story, described of course in a very erotic fashion.

Thinking on it now, and knowing how sassy I could be to my poor hubs, I think I feel I deserve, or even need stricter discipline than I have ever received. He still has an extremely hard time bringing himself to spank me even lightly, even though I ask him to. He was raised to believe hitting a woman is absolutely wrong, and struggles with it. I, in the other hand, believe I was more of less allowed to be a brat, until I began trying to reign myself in.

@Phoenix18, in honor of International Women's Day, you could/should tell him that precisely because of today's important event, he should start respecting your wishes and start reddening that bum of yours properly like you want/need it reddened. 😈😄

Aw, I missed the day! Good idea, SadisticDaddy!

I was spanked many times as a child and I hated it. But it did not turn into a fetish. The only childhood activity that turned into a fetish for me was shots in the butt. I got penicillin shots in the but several times each year until I was about 13 or 14 and I hated them. But now I love shots in the butt and I don't get enough of them. When I do get them at the doctor's office, they really don't hurt or sting very much.

. But now I love shots in the butt and I don't get enough of them.

My impression is nowadays shots are administered in the shoulder, not the butt. It was long time ago when the butt was considered as most appropriate place. And I remember those days when we, all boys at school, were lining in a queue to get a jab. One after another we lowered down our pants in front of all others. It was embarrassing. BTW, usually a couple of boys had traces of a belt on their butt and that was considered as nothing extraordinary.

I was flogged with rods until I was 12-13 years old. Often enough. These were not long, thick branches, but rather small and short. They left only longitudinal pink stripes on the body, which disappeared without a trace after a couple of days. It just didn’t make sense to spank them through clothes, I wouldn’t even feel them, so always on bare buttocks. My stepsisters always saw it easily, but I never saw them. Although most likely they were also flogged, but earlier.I didn't develop any fetish for spanking.

Spanking for me and my sister was always at the time of the offense, always bare ass and it didn't matter who was around. It was either administered with a bare hand or a paddle. The humiliation of being exposed in front of others, I recall being awful and this went on until we were about 15. I recall very clearly being spanked in front of a girlfriend when I was 14 and made to stand in the corner with my pants still down. She just sat there and stared. Not sure if it caused my fetish, but I definitely love getting spanked and humiliated from it. The domme I see has brought her friends to watch my spanking sessions on several occasions, it is a total rush.
