How common was corner time before or after a spanking in your childhood?

There was no corner time. It was direct spanking, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Discipline was handled immediately!!

My parents never used corner time as punishment. They were just the grab and spank type of parents. They dealt with whatever misdeed it was right then and when they were finished it was back to normal like nothing had ever happened. I do often wish there had been more of a ritual involved. Because I usually got no warning but also got no comfort when it was over.

I did have to stand in the corner one time when I was in preschool. Me and another kid got in trouble during recess and we had to stand in the two open corners. I remember being really embarrassed by having to stand there knowing everyone could see me. That’s the one and only time I’ve ever had to stand in the corner and it’s a memory that is deeply engrained.

Growing up (early 90's) I kind of had a mixed bag. There were times when mom (Military dad) Mom would use corner time off and On.

Sometimes she would stick me in the corner pre-spanking. sometimes the corner came Post spanking. I remember being made to stand in the corner. underwear around my ankles, skirt/dress pinned up sometimes. and I remember crying in the corner with a bright red butt too.

Had time standing in the corner (not called ‘corner time’), after most spankings growing up even in my teens. Sometimes with shorts/trousers and underpants down and sometimes with them taken away so only wearing sandals/shoes, socks, undershirt and shirt. Told my underpants and shorts will be given back ‘when you know how to behave’. Hands behind head not on top of head. Always in the corner of the living room where the spanking occurs. Seen by family friends and (terrible humiliation written about in other posts) neighbourhood younger children who played in my Aunt and Uncles garden. Probably lasted 10 minutes but seemed like an hour. Now seems exciting but didnt at the time as I felt very childish which is a punishment in itself for a teen. I sometimes got a visible sexual reaction so glad I was facing the corner.

I never had corner time. After a spanking at home I was told to stay in my room until one of my parents said I could come out. That gave me time to think about whatever I'd done to earn a spanking.

Had corner time but in my bedroom. Like to know more about ‘neighbourhood children’ seeing the corner time Barry. How, when, where. Neighbourhood kids saw you with you pants down in the corner? That would be tough.

@SimonSimon Ive written about it in one of my posts. Look back. A great humiliation but now something of a fascination.

I never got corner time,but at school i was caned many times on the hands and backside, the backside was painful,would leave marks for a good while.

At home after any spanking, pants and underwear left down. Didn't matter who was there, family, friends, etc. Went on until about 15

It was never used with me.

I will share a story that someone told me in an online chat, that will be a good fit for this forum.

She alleged that after spankings, she would receive corner time, with a rectal thermometer in place. Sometimes siblings would come by and twirl, tap, pull on it etc just to torment her. Supposedly the thermometer was to ensure she held still.

Sounds highly unlikely to me (plus I HOPE it's apocryphal!) - but nonetheless - KINKY!

Corner time was a regular feature of my and my siblings punishments. It was an integral part of the whole spanking ritual. I think the primary motivation was to humiliate the offender and to force them to focus on their misdeeds and the spanking they had just undergone. Not that any corner time was required for that! The blazing and throbbing heat on your bottom meant that you could not but think about and focus on your very recent punishment! In Auntie Ruth's case it also enabled her to admire her handiwork and eye up my bottom for a bit longer!

I don't get corner time, but i have been sent to my room, or even to bed after being smacked 😢

I was usually sent to my room for a spanking, then told to stay in my room until my parents said I could come out. That was what I got instead of corner time.

Corner time was very common for me growing up with my stepdad. It was always after a spanking and your bottom stayed bare. He didn't care if family, friends or others were around, if you protested he'd spank you again and then you'd want to get in the corner. Usually we'd have to stand but sometimes he'd let us kneel, it was always in the room we got spanked in. It would vary from as short as five minutes to close to an hour and then you had to go to your room. When I was younger I thought he would make us stay in the corner until we stopped crying, which seemed to be the case for a while. But then he'd vary it depending on how he felt. It's how I learned to not get caught when company was around because it was very humiliating to not only have them hear or see you get spanked but then to see you in the corner. Although the flip side was it was fun to see siblings or cousins in that position.

Surprised your company didn't tell him to stop it....

I wasn't in corner but on kitchen chair bare bottom on display bright red bum and soap up my bum

Mom didn’t use corner time, she was a right now spanker no sending to my room or wait till your dad gets home, it was my pants and underwear came down and I was then pulled accross her lap, next she slid her leather sandal off and blistered my butt, when she was finished I would normally just lay on the floor until I stopped crying, mom would eventually come back to me and explain why she spanked me and told me she loved me and if I wasn’t misbehaving she would have to spank me.

For me, my siblings, my cousins and many of my friends and acquaintances corner time was an integral part of our spankings! I once asked my Mom why we had to endure this extra humiliation in addition to the spanking itself! She answered me by saying corner time served a number of purposes:

Firstly, it was PRECISELY to humiliate and embarrass the offender that they were made to undergo corner time! An additional punishment to the spanking itself!

Secondly, it was to serve as a deterrent to siblings, cousins and any other kids who might be in the room at the time; showing them the consequences of bad behavior!

Thirdly, although we were permitted to leap from foot to foot and do the 'spanky dance' after being released from the parental, etc.... lap; within a five minute period after the spanking was finished we had to be stationed in the corner - a designated area of the room - with hands by our sides or on our heads with no further rubbing allowed! This was, my Mother claimed so as to focus our minds on both the spanking we had just been given; and also the wrongdoing that had earned us the spanking in the first place! Mom, Aunt Rose, Dad and Uncle Frank knew from their own spankings they had received when growing up that during the one to two hours that immediately followed a spanking your bottom was extremely hot, throbbing painfully, tender to the touch and radiated a pulsating prickly heat that gave you the impression that the skin on your buttocks had a life of its own! Being forbidden to rub your butt cheeks was both a punishment and challenge in itself! It required much self control and self discipline! Which was clearly the intention! Our corner time typically lasted for an hour! After which we could go up to our bedrooms or find some other quiet spot to try and comfort ourselves as best we could!

Fourthly, my Mom told me that she, my Dad and my Aunt and Uncle liked to "admire their handiwork" after "they had administered the spanking!"

She concluded her explanation, a very systematic and thorough one I reflected, by saying if I behaved my self none of the pain, humiliation and suffering would be necessary! It was quite simple! Such impeccable logic! LOL

Not very common growing up. When it did happen it was afterwards. Maybe 15 minutes. Used it a lot more as an adult.

It was pretty rare for my sister and I. I would have hated it after one of mom's spankings. It was all I could do to get out of there.

My parents liked to use corner time to make spanking discipline more effective. After the spanking, I was still sobbing and ordered to stand in the living room with my lower body naked. I grabbed the hem of my clothes with both hands and lifted it up, exposing my red butt balls and Small cock. When someone comes to visit, he can clearly see my red ass, penis, and balls, which isn't often, but it does happen.

I didn't have "corner time" after a spanking, but if I had become erect - which nearly always happened - I would have to remain naked from waist down, in full sight of mum, until it naturally subsided. If I complained, I got told she wanted to ensure that I didn't try touching myself, which would cause "pleasure" and detract from the "punishment". If my hands went anywhere near my buttocks or genital area, I would be warned not to touch that area & if I managed to touch myself, I'd get another 5 spanks! Was truly embarrassing and added to the humiliation - but suppose that was the idea!

MCurious better than if she would whack the head of it with a ruler to make it shrink.

Yes, I would usually stand in the corner with my pants off after a spanking. I'd often be waiting in the corner before hand too.

I also got "time outs" where I'd just have to go stand facing the wall even if I wasn't being spanked. That happened a couple of times at school too.

As I have already written, I did not stand in the corner either before or after the spanking. After talking to my mother, I was spanked in my room. However, once the spanking was delayed. It was on holiday in the countryside. There was no place in the house where my mother could spank me without witnesses. She took me to a small wooden shed that was a little out of the way. I remember how long this road took. My mother led me there with her hand on my shoulder. There was care and control in this gesture so I wouldn't run away. In her other hand she had a belt ready.I had mixed feelings: at the same time I wanted to be there and I wanted it to last as long as possible.

Corner time was a rare occurrence in my home growing up. I often got spanked just before bedtime and after the spanking was put to bed. On a few occasions, however, especially if I was spanked during the daytime, I might be sent to the corner after a spanking for a period of time that usually was between 15 to 30 minutes.

When being disciplined at home corner time was employed before my spanking and after. I would be placed with my hands on my head my trousers would be unfastened and lowered to the floor, followed by my underpants to knee height any shirt and vest would be tucked up exposing everything below my waist front and back for anyone watching.

My mum was always quick to take onboard advice I remember when I was 13 a lady friend of my mothers arrived along with her 12 year old daughter and 9 years old son as I was serving corner time before being given a over the knee smacked bottom.

The lady after looking me over suggested giving me a standing up smacking, her daughters was grinning and nodding her head as she recommended how to spank me.

I always get an erection before a spanking and today was no different the girls eyes hadn't left my erection as I stood there exposed.

Well my mum decided to observe and let her friend demonstrate. she used her hand first then her hairbrush.....

It is pleasing to note that child abuse like this as all been eradicated from British society due to current legislation about smacking and mental abuse.

I was assigned corner time after nearly every correction. I don't remember ever having corner time beforehand. The typical duration was 10-15 minutes, which usually allowed me to regain my composure after getting my spanking. After the time was done, I was allowed to get dressed and the air was cleared.

In a previous post on this topic, I say that as kid, I was sometime or frequently got cornertime in my childhood. I can tell you, in our household, if you got cornertime by a teacher in the elementary school, they would call home and then my mom would give me or my siblings more cornertime prior to a spanking.

However, an adult boy, I have spent more time in the corner by a number of spankers to let me think about the upcoming spanking and additional punishment or after the spanking in the corner as well to reflect the spanking. To me is boring as hell, but I do believe it forces you to reflect.
