It was as if his whole being had been transferred to his bottom and laid bare for her loving yet firm attention. At such moments, Billy felt overwhelming sensations of “little boy” dependency, freedom from all responsibility, and a total enfolding in maternal love. For Billy, there was also a deep trust, a sense that he was being spanked for a particular misdeed like any other naughty child and that he had both earned his spanking and needed it to return to grace. This sense of trust was only deepened by the knowledge that he would be spanked in proportion to the naughtiness at hand and forgiven afterwards. By crying freely right away, Billy unconsciously gave himself a head start on the inner process of correction, repentance, and forgiveness which spankings enabled.
