No, jimmyjohnson, no one ever reaches between my legs, touches my genitals, parts my buttocks, runs their fingers around or does anything like that, nor do I during spankings. Unless it’s explicitly agreed upon that it’s sexual...in which case it would be confined to my wife or girlfriends of the past.
It’s done for discipline in my case, and I’ve had plenty of experience on both sides, with both genders, with no sex implied or involved, and very much off limits. I’ve been in small groups of friends where spankings happened and no one thought anything of one guy spanking another’s girlfriend, etc. Obviously, sex would’ve been off limits. We weren’t swingers. My typical spanking as of now involves no arousal at all, it’s painful and embarrassing but afterwards it’s like a reset button for my attitude. I have, in turn, done the same for others.
And what anyone else thinks doesn’t particularly matter. I’m sure adult spanking has quite an unwritten history, it’s not something people would talk about even if it happened inside of marriage. The same people who would raise eyebrows at an adult spanking scene would raise their eyebrows in any instance of it, regardless of the relationship involved.
We are here, though, on a forum where people are discussing it under some comfort of anonymity, so let’s not do as everyone else and generalize everything corporeal as “sex”.
The question about whether or not anal fingering should be part of a spanking was posed to the group, and I answered how I felt about it. I wasn’t asking for a mocking psychological analysis of it.
