The following account is unusual for this site in that it happened when I was no longer at school, and to all intents and purposes an adult by today’s standards. However, when reading this, bear in mind that when these events took place, you had to be 21 before you could vote so I was […]

I was intrigued by your recent publication of a story where a 17-year-old was spanked and caned by his landlady, as I had a very similar experience myself at the same age. In the late 1980s, I answered an advert in the local newspaper for a lodger. I had recently left home to pursue a […]

When I was growing up, my dad’s sister Beth and her daughter Ruth lived next door to us. Aunt Beth was a widow – her husband had been killed in a road accident when my cousin Ruth was only a little girl. My dad took great care of them always, and we were very close. […]

When we were kids, we always heard family gossip about how ‘naughty’ our aunt was, but never learned any details. I overheard that she was once in a band, but that was about the extent of my knowledge of her ‘naughtiness’, and us kids rarely interacted with her. After she passed away, my mother started […]

To say that I had a tough start in life would be quite the understatement. When I was 11, my father was sent to prison and my mom could not take care of me because she was in a rehab facility. My uncle was always in trouble with the law as well. So, I wound […]

I was raised in a strict, loving and male-dominated family. My father was most definitely the head of our household and corporal punishment was the most common form of discipline not only for us children when we misbehaved but also for our mother. Bare bottom spankings were common and always included time spent standing in […]

At the school I attended, there was a theoretical possibility of being spanked, but such punishments were rare. Even when given, they were mostly symbolic. However, the few cases in which I saw children being spanked are etched in my memory to this day. One of these incidents occurred in fifth grade, when I was […]

Growing up, my mother had great pare,nting skills and was never forced to rely on corporal punishment either for me or for my brothers and sister. However once, when I was nine, my parents both went out and told my sister – who was 14 at the time – that she was in charge. At […]

My best friend when I was a child was a girl called Naomi, and when we were both nine years old, I was invited one evening to her house to go for a sleepover. Naomi’s mum was lovely, very hands-on and cuddly with us and giving us plenty of attention. Finally, we were sent outside […]

I have a tale to tell, according to my new partner at least! She introduced me to the Maman site after a conversation about spanking. I’ll set the scene as quickly as I can. I had no sexual interest in spanking as a young man, although I was smacked as a toddler – by and large, […]
