My fascination with spanking definitely started in elementary school in the early 70's in New Mexico. The first time I witnessed a spanking was in the first grade, when my neighbor from across the street was acting up and was led into the hallway where he was paddled with a ping pong paddle. Since the hallways were like that of most schools, the echo of the paddle was quite loud, and could easily be heard throughout the school. Paddling was a regular part of life at that school, happening multiple times each day.
The first time I noticed I was getting aroused from paddlings at school was in the 4th grade, when two girls sitting at desks in front of mine were caught cheating on a test. It just so happened that I had a perfect view of them in the hallway as they were led out They were placed with their backs against the wall of lockers. Both of them cried as the teacher bawled them out and told them they would each receive five swats with the paddle.
The first girl was then led to the middle of the hallway, was told to put her hands on her knees, and was paddled. She stayed in place and sobbed quietly during her paddling. The second girl was much more reluctant to comply until the teacher told her she would get extra swats if she didn't get into position. She yelped and jumped up after the first swat. The teacher had to keep her left hand on the back of the student for the remainder of the paddling to keep her in place. By the fifth swat, she was crying loudly. It all happened so fast, but I was definitely erect when they were led back into the room and took their seats in front of me.
And then, finally, it happened to me. I was still in the fourth grade. I wasn't interested in the assignment we were doing, so I decided to draw pictures instead. The teacher saw me drawing, and told me to stop and pay attention. Later the same day, the teacher was in the back of the room and saw me drawing again (I didn't see her). She took my drawings away and said I would need to stay inside during recess. She wrote my name down on the board along with the others who were being punished for various things.
Well, I forgot about staying inside (I really did forget), and went outside with my friends. While outside, one of my friends said "weren't you on the no recess list?" My heart sank! Right about that time, the bell rang indicating the end of recess. I walked back to the class room, nervous, yet aroused that I might actually get paddled. I MIGHT ACTUALLY GET PADDLED! No sooner than we all took our seats, my teacher grabbed her paddle and called me out into the hallway. My stomach turned knots as I got up from my chair, holding my hands in front of me the entire time to conceal my hard-on.
As I stood against the locker, my teacher glared at me and said something like "so you just can't pay attention to anything today?! We'll just see if this gets your attention!" And with that, I was led to the middle of the hallway. "Put your hands on your knees!" she said sternly. I complied, and could see my classmates staring into the hallway. I was horrified, embarrassed, and completely turned on by the situation. The first swat was painful, but I certainly found myself wanting more, and four more came with only brief pauses between. After the fifth swat, I noticed that my eyes were full of tears, but I think I was more embarrassed than anything, although my bottom certainly was on fire! I again cupped my hands in front of me to hide my erection as I took my seat. It was the only time I was paddled in school.
I was spanked at home quite a bit, and almost always got hard. The last spanking I received as a child was in the 7th grade. In the 8th grade, I started to gain a REAL interest in spanking. Like the spanking game I described in one of my other posts, I didn't understand why I was always hard at the time, but I've been a spanko ever since!
