Getting the belt as a teenager

I was whipped bare bottom with a belt by my mom and stepdaddy from age nine until eighteen. All were very ritualized like having to disrobe completely to nude corner time and being made to remain nude afterwards.

Never got the belt thankfully. My mom has told me stories about getting spanked with the belt growing up and it sounds like it hurt big time. I got lucky I guess. Mom only spanked me with her hand or a paddle.

My whippings, as a kid were almost always by mom, and in private. It was always bare butt, and with a strap, or a switch. They were rather long and just hard enough to make it hurt, but never over-done, cruel, or abusive, in any way. Could feel them, for a day or two. Mom's reasoning for being bare butt, was so it was effective, but never over-done. Have no regrets of any of my whippings, as I was raised to be responsible, and respectful. Mike.

Only time I got belted as a teen was at the age of 15, mom and dad got into a huge fight and afterwards. I don't remember what I did or said all I remember was my dad whipping me with a belt. I guess he took out his anger on me. That was my last whipping/spanking I got.

If you can't win a fight, then take it out on someone smaller ... many a Western movie has been built up with this as a theme ...

When my parents used the belt on my bare bottom, it was because they thought i needed it. Usually the only time i got the bare bottom belt spanking, is when i did something really naughty to deserve it!

My mother always spanked us with her HEAT FOR THE SEAT cedarwood paddle. One of our house rules was that, if you refused a paddling from mom, or gave her a hard time, you got the strap from dad.

In June 1981, I was 2 months shy of my 17th birthday. It was the last school day before summer vacation on June 24th (you just don't forget somethings!). One of my friends was having a party that night to celebrate, but mom said I couldn't go. We got into a big argument and i shoved mom aside, stormed out of our house, and went to the party. My friends had always teased me about how strict my parents were, so I decided to show up at the party. When we were teenagers, we seldom thought about the consequences and they were waiting for me, when I returned home! As soon as I got inside, mom and dad dragged me to dad's den. While dad pinned my arms, mom undud my jeans and yanked them and my bikinis down to my knees. I was then bent over dad's desk with mom holding my wrists. This was exactly how my younger brother was punished by dad. I remember dad asking mom how many to give me with his strap and she first said 16, but changed it to 17. That was because I was so close to my birthday in August. Believe me, I never forgot that scourging! Ironically, that would be my last beating until I messed up in college and got thrown out of my dorm.

My mom used her oval oak hair brush on my naughty bare bottom from age 12 to age 20. My step-dad used his hand and when I was deserving the belt.

I had to totally undress and stand in the corner first. Very embarrassing specially when my mom or aunt or uncle were watching. I would go over his lap for a hand spanking first and then had to kneel on the bed to receive his belt. I yelled and screamed and cried till he stopped after my hind end was bright red stripped. I have to admit I deserved every one I got and I learned from them.

I dreaded getting strapped with a belt when I was a teen because I never knew how many swats I would get from our Dad. He usually paddled my brothers and me with a wooden paddle and we knew that 5 or 6 swats was the most we would get and usually only 3 or 4. But with his belt, the swats were usually more than what we got from his paddle. Either method was underpants down and bent over our bed at home. The most I ever got was at least 20 swats from his belt when I had gotten in trouble at school and had already been paddled at school. 20 swats on my bare butt while my brothers watched. Which is the only reason that I say that I got 20 swats. My older brother said it was 20. I wasn't counting but it was a lot more than I had ever gotten before and it felt like 100. My rear was completely red by the end. Slept on my stomach that night and wasn't too happy to have to change for PE the next morning.

@davidwest

It seems that your father did not joke with discipline at home.

You said that it was embarrassing to change for PE lessons with red marks on your butt after a punishment.

Do you remember the school physical examinations for sport where some boy's students had red marks visible on their butts?

Did your Pe teachers used to punish you the same way at school in case of unruly or any other reason ? Did they give you swats with their hands on the naked butts or on a jockstrap or a slight PE short or did they paddle you or cane you?

"THE BELT!!!" Could have been as depicted by our subscribers as "discipline!!" "BUT" if applied with a "Viciousness" above and beyond by people who were all out...For get it!!!

"NO!!" If the "BELT" came out .......really!! Don't tell me you "Liked it!!" You both are sicko!!

Why do you think there are cases of children who killed their Parents!!!!!!!

No Thank You!!!!!!

I never got a belt but my Dad was brutal with a ping pong paddle. Dont remember how many swats but back then it seemed to be hundreds, with lots of tears but of course there was less than that.

And did your Pe teachers used to punish you the same way at school in case of unruly or any other reason ?

The automatic assumption seems to have been that if there were signs of physical punishment on your body, it was therefore OK to hand out some more of the same as a (PE) teacher? Compassion and empathy must have been in short supply.

My wife told me that at times she was beaten at home so severely that there were indeed signs on her body. But the teachers who noticed this didn't double down and think it a free ticket to whack her some more. Instead they inquired into the reason why and if it was not a case of child abuse. But when this happened - questioning her parents - in the late 1950s-early 1960s, parental authority wasn't restricted as much as it was now and unless the school wished to make a big case about it via all the proper administrative/legal channels, it was thought best to let the sleeping dogs lay. And that is what happened. So even a discrete talk to her parents improved nothing and in fact made it worse because now they were of course put on the spot to defend their ways of punishing their daughter. So who do you think they took it out on later, only in less visible ways?

I really cannot understand people saying they were grateful for parents who whipped and whacked them around when they were young and helpless. Or that it made them into better people.

When I took my parents car without permission and got the dreaded paddle, I surely never touched my Dads car again. If I had just gotten a "your a bad boy and dont touch Dads car again" talk, I probably would have done it again and again knowing that all I would get is a 5 minute lecture. The power of driving a car as a teenager is overpowering over a lecture for me. Just my opinion from how I might have felt some 50 years ago

Punishment does not come in either/or form.

Just because some parents don't physically punish their children does not mean the only alternative is a 5 minute lecture. There is a whole and long range of options open to punishing someone and especially to making them realize the stupidity and ultimately uselessness of their transgression.

I was certainly never given the belt as a teenager although I can understand why it was used as a form of punishment.

Ever wonder why physical punishment like flogging and such is completely forbidden in the military (in virtually every one around the world) ? Why officers who strike soldiers, risk courts martial? Because there are other ways of punishing people, really effective ones too and because physical punishments can build up awful resentments.

If the military can do without them, I'm sure parents and teachers and whomever else can also do without physical punishments.

I think age something to do with it-----an adult breaking a rule/law may require a monetary fine or a soldier doing extra duty, but with a child/teen the options are less since you cannot fine them and younger children will only do so much extra work.-----well, sorry these last few posts have gotten off topic so I will tap out now.

What a lack of imagination. Children's allowance can be withheld. If they are old enough to hold a weekend job then sure they can be 'fined'. Privileges can be withheld, cellphones confiscated temporarily, computers disconnected/blocked, visits to friends curtailed. And there are always dishes to be washed, lawns to be mowed, cars to be washed etc ...

In the case of the boy who took his father's car without permission: if the boy would submit to getting the belt, the father could just as easily have told him to hand over his drivers license.

A belt whipping is the easy resort of a bully, someone who doesn't think things through or can't control their emotions. Or who simply likes to whack younger people.

I described my worst belt strapping by our Dad below. It wasn't the usual strapping so did not want anyone to think that I got it like that all of the time when I was a teen. I was 14 or 15. I had gotten in trouble at school in PE and the coach was mad enough to call my Dad at work. The coach figured right that my Dad would be pissed. I'm not sure if the coach told Dad that he had already given me a hard paddling. It wouldn't have made any difference to Dad. Dad was pissed because I had disrupted the PE class and wasted the coach's time I guess. I would have been in less trouble if I had gotten into a fight at school with another boy. Fighting would get us paddled but disrupting a class of any kind deserved a harder than usual strapping or paddling. Dad didn't bring out his belt very often. His paddle was his usual disciplinary method. I remember my older brother getting the belt when he was 17 for defying Dad when he was already in trouble. I heard but didn't see that strapping. My younger brother and I stood out in the hall while our older brother got strapped in the bedroom. I didn't count the swats so don't know if he broke my record of 20 but it was more than 10.

Lots of our friends got the belt always at home. Our Dad had a wooden paddle and used that most of the time. Paddling was a school thing but some dads had paddles too. Dad had gone to military school when he was a kid so paddling was what happened there. We could usually tell whether a kid in PE had been paddled or strapped at home by the marks on his butt. A hard paddling left wide red marks or bruises. A belt left thinner marks. Those paddle o strap marks didn't stay long so we could tell when the spanking had been that day or day before.

As a kid I was always spanked with a belt. Mom would tell me to go to my room and undress--that meant everything. When she came in she would lecture me then have me bend over the edge of the bed for about a dozen licks. The welts usually lasted through the next day. Getting whipped with a belt was common in my time and it wasn't all that unusual to see someone with red stripes on there butt in the shower.

I dunno know about it being common. When I lived in the US there was one parent I knew of who used a belt and he (a father of course, a drunken louse who was connected to my father professionally/business-wise in some way) was utterly despised by my parents for the coward he was.

Other than that I know of no one, though that means little of itself. All I can say is that I never encountered anyone with belt marks when swimming nude at the YMCA for instance. So, it must not have been all that common either. None of my friends were ever whacked with a belt that I know of.

Most of my childhood spankings from mom were with an open hand or hairbrush on the bare bottom. I only got a couple of belt spankings as a teen for serious offenses.

Actually pretty common when I was growing up. It was used by my mom and dad as well as aunts. It was pretty much the go to butt tanner in my family. I got the belt many, many times growing up. It was almost always on the bare butt.

My Brothers and I were very familiar with Dad's leather belt. We never had to disrobe but in the summer we wore short pants so got it a lot on the backs of our legs. There that certain sound of slapping leather as he removed it from the loops of his trousers and we knew we were in deep do do. Most of the time we deserved it, though. I am sure that is why today I am not at all into spanking or anything related.

oh I know what you're talking about there I hated that sound it was like the trumpets of the apocalypse for me and my brothers. Dad was the belt mom usally used a sandel or a wooden hairbrush sometime mesquite branches.

My grandfather had a proper woodshed with a strap hanging from a peg. When I lived with my grandparents and I got in trouble at school or my grades were low, I was given that strap. My grandmother gave normal punishments with her hand or slipper, but things would get really serious if my grandpa was involved.

Our Dad talked about getting spanked in a woodshed when he was a kid but woodsheds didn't exist when we were kids or where we lived in towns. Getting taken to the woodshed was an expression that meant that someone was in trouble and got spanked if they were kids but we kids only vaguely understood what that meant since we hadn't lived where there were woodsheds. The grownups used expressions like that where we knew what they meant although maybe not exactly. Getting taken to the woodshed sounded scary even if we didn't know what one was exactly.

My father progressed from spanking me with his hand to using his belt when I started secondary school at 11 and the last at 17, most of the time it wasn't as bad as getting the cane at school, though it was worse than a slippering in the gym, however if he was in a rage then the thrashing I got with his belt was severe indeed, I have to say I deserved all the punishments I got, with only a couple of exceptions, and overall I think that a physical spanking with whatever implement is the best punishment, it certainly made me consider my actions and want to improve, I do believe it made me a more considerate and hard working person,

Around our house it was a belt. My dad had several old belts. Mom would get one and use it. Dad would just take off the belt he had on. My grandparents had a leather strap that was about 3 ft long they would fold in half. I don't ever remember a hairbrush being used. When I was 6 or 7 I graduated from hand to the belt so yo speak. Luckily I was a good kid most of the time.
