I’d like to tell you about the first two times I gave a spanking.it was definitely not allowed and I suspect that had I been found out, I would have ended up getting rather than giving the punishment.I was at a sleepover birthday party with my two best friends, and we were playing truth or […]

  One of the most memorable spankings I ever witnessed happened to my older cousin Barb. She was the oldest cousin in our family and she was mean and bossy to all of her younger siblings and cousins. Barb and I get along great now, but when I was little I found her stuck-up and annoying. I […]

I grew up in a Christian family and every summer our church had a weekly summer camp. This included many worship activities but also offered lots of time just to be around and play with kids from both my own church and others. In the summer for some reason both my parents had work commitments and […]

When I was in the third grade in the 1990s, my best friend was Cory, who lived about four blocks away from our house. One day, I went around to his place to play as my mom had to go out shopping with a girl friend of hers. We dug Cory’s softball glove and ball […]

I grew up a somewhat undisciplined child – I was adopted at the age of three and my new parents were to afraid to give me what I needed (i.e. a damn good spanking) for fear of having me taken away. So by the time I was in my teens, I pretty much got away […]

Lori often came over to babysit me, sometimes three or four times a week. Mother and father often went out at night to be alone and left me in her care.Because I never received much attention from mother and father, I would sometimes act like a brat just to get Lori’s attention when she was […]

  The summer was a great one – I spent nearly every waking hour with my best friend Katie. We mostly hung out at my house or at one of the parks in town. We avoided Katie’s home mostly because her dad was a bit of a control freak and was strict. I knew Katie […]

  I met Omolade at university – we were both studying history of art at Cambridge. She was Nigerian and her mother was a quite prominent diplomat. For a long time we were just friends, but after getting drunk at a party one night, we spent most of the evening kissing and petting, with Omolade […]
