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!
