My brother and I actually did not receive many spankings – but I will never forget the one we got in the summer of 1991. Each spring, we got new clothes for the summer. We got new short trousers, T-shirt and new sandals. When I was 13 and my brother 14, we both started to […]

I grew up in a small town south of Chicago. My best friend in the whole world was the girl next door, Laura. Laura and I played together since we were in diapers – I was just about six months older then her. She and I both came from strict families that believed spanking was […]

My mother was a barber back in the late 60s and early 70s. On weekends, as a small girl, I would go with her to help. She had a nice shop, several leather chairs and each one had a razor strop that would hang off the edge. Lots of mothers would bring in their children […]

From a 1970 copy of Forum magazine I have followed with very great interest the correspondence in your magazine on corporal punishment, and although the many letters already published bear witness to its widespread practice both as a form of punishment and of stimulation, I would be very pleased if you would publish my letter, […]

I was spanked a great deal as a child but unfortunately have forgotten nearly all of them in any specific detail. However, I do remember one quite vividly. I am five years older than my younger brother and was quite proud of him when he was born. So proud, in fact, that I took him […]

I knew that if she called home, I’d get it for sure. My mom didn’t always spank but if someone else was the one to tell her we were in trouble, there was no avoiding the belt. She had many other methods of dealing with the little misbehaviours of her three boys but not if […]

Back in the 1960s, spanking was much more common. My most memorable was when my younger brother and I had misbehaved. Mum called us inside, moved a dining room chair into the middle of the room, and told us to take down our trousers and pants. We didn’t know what was going to happen exactly, […]

When I was growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, spanking had somewhat gone out of vogue. Many parents, including mine, believed that more permissive methods were the answer, and always allowed me a large amount (too large in reflection) of freedom. However when I was two, my father passed away, leaving my […]

I was often spanked as a young boy, but one of the worst punishments I can remember was the day I had some friends over to play. That was a black day, indeed. We must have been up to some mischief anyway and my mother gave us a warning – especially me. But I did […]

Many years ago, when I was nine years old, I stole a yo-yo from a variety store – then lied to my mother about it. She gave me the mother of all spankings and to this day, I remember the stinging of my rear end and the humiliation I received. Yo-yos were at the height […]
