Testimonial evidence

Updated 11/05/24

Many people think flogging to discipline minors in households is not common. I think it is not! This section presents a variety of opinions and testimonial evidence from adults and not-so-adults about teenage flogging. You could dismiss them. But these are real stories and there are many of them!  The data came from different sources, differernt countries, mostly from forums on corporal punishment of children and adolescents.


Jasmine
Growing up with corporal punishment was a complex experience for me. At the time, it was difficult to understand why my parents chose to discipline me that way. I often felt humiliated and shamed, and there was a constant fear that came with it. They were bigger and more powerful, and their use of physical force made me feel small and powerless.

Looking back, I can see that my parents were trying to teach me right from wrong, but the method left emotional scars. It instilled a belief that physical aggression was an acceptable response to problems, something I had to unlearn as I grew older.

As an adult, I understand more about the negative effects of corporal punishment, such as its potential to open the door to physical abuse and its impact on children's mental health. I choose not to use it with my own children. Instead, I aim to discipline through understanding and communication, hoping to foster a more positive and respectful relationship with them.

I've never had a problem with it. I have excellent parents and when I got spanked, it was always deserved. Better than some parental psychoterror that some other children I know had.

Brigit
For me and my sisters it was a normal upbringing. And almost all of my friends were spanked too. I was anxious when I got sentenced, but my parents were sure it was the best way to tech right from wrong. And as a mom now i understand and agree to the parenting style.

Morgan
When a child exhausts the limits of patience and consistently exhibits the sort of negligence and poor judgement that I did, parents might just run out of options and have to resort to using corporal punishment. I know that was the case for my mom and dad right up until that child turned into an older teen. So how do I feel about it? I honestly can’t say that I blame them one bit. Fortunately, I think that my judgement has improved considerably over the past several months. I might still test the limits of patience once in a while, but it seems to fall within the boundaries of reason.

Michel
My mom and dad would have me drop my pants and underwear and get the belt over a stool in the the middle of the living room with the whole family watching. I hate it!

Shameful
Both myself and my wife had parents who believed in spanking. And we are proud to say we continue the tradition with our well mannered beautiful children.

When I grew up corporal punishment wasn't an “issue”. It was a norm, expected by both the parents, teachers, coaches, and the recipient, and was encouraged and accepted by the majority. My feels toward it reflected this. My friends regularly recounted and shared our experiences of corporal punishment.

Dan
My Spankings as a child never bothered me, this was in the 60’s and 70’s so every child I knew received Spankings as discipline. My Spankings were always on my Bare Butt, Mom would use a paddle or wooden hair brush, Hairbrush stung much worse than the Paddle, Dad would use his leather belt. I always felt better after my Spankings because I knew I deserved my Spankings, and was forgiven for what ever I did wrong after my Spanking.

Debbie
My parents did and I have no problem with it. I had certain rules and they never changed. I knew the consequences if I broke them. If I made the choice to break the rules I had to take those consequences. I loved and respected my parents very much and I miss them every single day.

Karin
My parents used corporal punishment and were not alone; spanking was, at the time and in my social environment, the commonly accepted way to punish misbehaving children; nobody frowned upon it. Also, we children accepted getting spanked when we were naughty as the natural, righteous and best way to get punished when we misbehaved. Most parents, I guess 2/3, stopped spanking when their children reached the confirmation age (14-15 years) and used grounding instead. Fortunately, my parents belonged to the last 1/3 and continued spanking when we deserved to get punished. My sister and I preferred getting spanked; it was a swift and straightforward punishment that did not humiliate us or ruin our social lives like getting grounded would have done.

Mody
During the 60s and early 70s it may have been a fairly normal way of punishment. We did not really talk about it with friends but when I was elementary school age many times I heard spankings being done in the neighborhood or a parent calling a friend inside when we were playing. Hearing the slaps on the bottom, this would be after us being noticed doing something in the yard we shouldn't.

Quite a few times if that happened, I was sent home and the parent would call mine. Then my mother would take her hairbrush and walk into the kitchen taking my arm and putting me over her knee. Always lifting my skirt to pull my panties down or pulling down pants and panties, depending what I was wearing. Then I would get a very harsh spanking, many times lasting up to 10 minutes.

I always begged to not be spanked, and as I matured, felt humiliated for obvious reasons. I had 2 brothers that also were spanked but my dad gave them the belt. If any of us got spanked, it did not matter if another family member was in the room. Which made it worse because I was spanked until age 18.

I did not get spanked often by my father but if my mother was gone for the day visiting her parents and I misbehaved, he was immediately having me over his knee and spanked my bare bottom with his bare hand. I still cringe at that, especially if he had friends over playing pool or something. He would not spank me in front of them but I know they could hear my spanking on the bare bottom from the other room.

I never spanked my children. Even though I grew up at a time when ot was more common, I knew the humiliation of it was worse than the pain. I was not going to do that to my kids and they turned out wonderful.

Brian
Well I was always spanked from a young age growing up. Mommy always did the spanking and mostly with her hand. It was on my bare bottom and usually over her knee. When i was about 11 she stopped the spanking and gave me time outs or extra chores to do for not behaving. But about 2 years later I got a sound bare bottom spanking off her for some thing that happened at school. Ever since then Mom has punished me with her hand on my bare bottom and it is very sore too. I know I`m just a teen but am sure I could be punishd other ways. None of my friends have their bare bottoms smacked now. I told mom that. She just said a spanking works best for me.

Michelle
I think it’s an effective punishment. Everyone needs accountability for how they behave. The pain and embarrassment from such a childish punishment is very humbling. It’s a good reminder to think about how I’m behaving and the decisions I’m making. When I was a teen I couldn’t wait to be an adult so my parents would stop spanking me. Now I’m glad they never believed in me being too old for it to continue. That said, it doesn’t work for everyone and parents should recognize when another punishment would be better.

Buddy
Really a broad mixture of emotions here, but the overwhelming response explains how I felt better than any words. I never spanked any of my children, nor did I ever let it happen. I teach parenting and corporal punishment is totally absent from my domain and classes. Hopefully this demonstrates how I felt, and still feel.
Note: My father asked my forgiveness when I was in my 40’s and he was in his late-60’s. He is approaching 89 now, and we have a fantastic relationship. I never asked him to apologize. He came to the realization through his faith.

Jamie
Spankings were the normal/regular method of punishment when I was growing up. I was one of 4 kids born in the 80s. I feel that sometimes my parents spanked too often or too hard but I can’t deny that all 4 of us have good careers and families.

Jordan
How should I feel? Anger, resentment, frustration, invasion of privacy, loss of independence? Yes, I felt all those at the time when I was disciplined as a child. Looking back as an adult and parent, I now feel none of these emotions. I wish I did not have to be spanked, and wish I had not got into situations where my mom had to spank me, but I blame myself and not her for my actions or lack of responsibility or respect towards my parents.

However, it was because of my shortcomings and failures that my parents took it upon themselves to discipline me and teach me right from wrong, and show me the way, so that I could learn my lessons when I was still young and had the time to make these positive changes in my life. 

How do I feel now towards my parents? Gratitude, love, and respect for them, that they cared enough to discipline me. In making this statement I also know that there are other moms and parents who would agree with me, and probably feel the same way towards there parents now.

Bill
When I grew up it seemed like everyone got spanked. In the 60's there were no computers, the phones were on the wall (as an Air Force kid we knew calls had to be as short as possible incase the duty officer called), no one had a TV in their room or a car unless you were in college. For discipline we were spanked. My parents only spanked for major issues like safety. For instance around 3yo they started giving us more freedom in the yard but watched us closely - as did the older brothers. If and when the toddler went into the street, even after endless coaching not to. They would be pulled back to a safe place and 4 or five swats over clothes were given. They weren't hard enough to hurt but the uniqueness of it always got the point across. I was spanked 4/5 times over my clothes before I was 10/12. I had my first bare spanking from a friends mom about that time and my parents started doing it that way. By the time they stopped in my 20's I had received maybe another 5 or six spankings that I remember so even if I forgot some, no more than 1 a year so maybe 22 all together?

Jill
My parents spanked me until I was 16. It just made me (more) angry and rebellious. When I became a parent I chose not to spank. There are many more constructive ways to discipline a child, and they provide teachable moments that spanking does not provide. My children have grown up to be happy and ethical in their dealings with others. It’s my hope that they will choose not to spank their children, and that ultimately there will be less corporal punishment in this world.

Marcette
I was never spanked unless I deserved it and was only spanked for major things. It taught me there were consequences for my actions and me consider options before doing dumb stuff. I am thankful that my parents gave me guidance even if it hurt like heck.

Caver
A spanking is what I imagine other kids got. In our family we got our azzez whooped! We knew it was coming when we did something to deserve it. Like being disrespectful or blatantly ignoring our responsibilities. One time we played keep-a-way with a gallon of white paint over my moms new carpet. Yeah my clumsy azz dropped it. My two brothers and I weren't snitches. Whenever we got the who done it question, we'd all clam up. Which meant we all took the whoop’in. When you didn't deserve it kinda sucked. The up side was that you learned to protect the ones you love.

Shannon
It was a common practice in the seventies and eighties. Children were spanked often. It was nothing to see a kid get spanked in public. Quite often I would see a kid over the parental knee with their underwear showing. There were a few times when I saw a kid over the parental knee with their bare butts in the air. Parents and elders just didn't care. I am not close with my family and I still harbor resentment over the abuse I endured that was passed off as spanking. I don't care, spanking is abuse. If a fully grown person has to hit a smaller person, especially one who is of an age where they're still a bit defenseless, then the parents have a serious problem. Spanking is not discipline; to “discipline” means to teach. It is a punishment, so call it what they did to me. It never made me feel loved and I never appreciated being hit. And I don't understand those who did.

Lynn
I think there still is a place for reasonable, age appropriate, corporal punishment. I am not a fan of the government entering our homes to order us how to raise our kids. In Canada there are rules about spanking that I agree with, but there doesn’t need to be any more restrictions. I was spanked about 10 times growing up where I have no issues because of it. Most fanatical anti-spankers were horribly abused as kids. I was also grounded, lectured and so on. As far as preference, sometimes a spanking is not a bad way out of a situation, but, if I was spanked, I was usually grounded too.

Andrea
It’s ok, i grow up with a really strict mother who punish me for every reasons with hard face slapping and spanking very hard!

Graham
Back in the late 50,s when i grew up CP was the only punishment. After i was 7 it was things off and over the table in the front room and either a thick leather strap or dads cane whacked across my bare bottom. He did not hold back and it really hurt. I think it depends on how the home is structured, and as long as it is not excessive it is another way to teach right from wrong. In many ways it “teaches” better and has less “harmful” effects such as grounding and the loss of a phone or computer. I grew up in the late 50,s and do wrong then it was trousers and pants off anddad would whack my bare bottom with a thick leather strap or cane. I do not think t had a negative impact n my life, in fact the opposite. My own sons grew up in the 80,s and were treated the same. They have said it “did them good” and certainly had no negative impact.

Jilly
I think we need more of it! I can give you a list of people who I can see have never seen their mom take off her sandal for a good whacking. The problem these days is people have forgotten the difference between a spanking and a beating. One is a way to remind a kid about an important lesson, and another is an abusive way to control a kid. So, if you're a parent with a disrespectful child, consider the belt you wear on your waist as a teaching tool. P.S. everyone is different so consider other options if spankings ain't working.

Leia
I’m adopted. I was abused by my bio mom and her men, and spanked by my adopted parents. There is a world of difference. Im fine with corporal punishment. The child has immediate consequence for bad behavior. The child learns to live with physical pain, a necessary life lesson.

Dave
My parents never used Corporal punishment on me or my sisters, I was, however, smacked hard on my bare bottom at school on several occasions by teachers and prefects.

Vince
I was spanked badly by mom once… never before… because i had a bad grade at a school test in maths for which i was sent to the corner. As such never happened before, never had corner time, i was laughing at her first that made her angry. I was 9. She must have had bad days. I was not lazy to study, but i did not understand the material. I was rebelling. For the next day i did not prepare maths homework on purpose, but i prepared all others. Following day i got noticed by the maths teacher, my mom spanked me again for not preparing. Next day further i did not show up any homeworks (though i prepared them at home), did not do any class work at school, playing dumb. My master teacher called her to report… Mom realized that i was that stoneheaded jerk guy that the more she punishes the more i will rebel. Specially when i did not make wrong, i was just not smart enough, which was not my fault. Luckily she looked up for a friend of hers who explained me the maths staff and i got good grades again. Never ever spanked or punished me phisically again. Mom told the stories a decade later that as kids it was enough to give a slap to my bro when he made wrong and he understood soon and moderated — it was not worth wasting words with him. While i made worse and worse in case of any punishments or threats, so she had to convince me explain while i made wrong and why not to do so.

C.Lang
I grew up in a home that used spankings, as did most people my age probably did. Frankly, I thought it was pretty effective. See, we knew what would get us spankings. Usually spankings were reserved for:
  • Any bad behavior related to school—detentions, rudeness to teachers, bad grades, acting up in class. Mom and Dad didn’t mess with school stuff. You were expected to go to school, listen to the teacher, do your homework, and not be a disruptive pain in the ass.
  • Disrespect to adults. Mouthing off to mom and dad, or any adult—didn’t happen. You got a spanking for that.
  • Lying/stealing. You got caught at either one of those and you’d get it.
If you didn’t do any of the above, you didn’t have a lot to worry about. Now, we didn’t have spankings every day, in large part because we didn’t test our parents. We knew Mom and Dad had no problem spanking, they didn’t just threaten. Since we knew they’d do it, we stayed away from those activities that would get us those spankings.

Roberta
I felt angry at first but mostly at myself for not following the rules. I believe in spanking kids for repeated bad behaviors. Discipline teaches respect and that is something our world needs. Not child has ever died from getting their bottom spanked. There is a big difference between a spanking and abuse.

Matthews
No. I wasn’t punished by my parents as a child. Both my parents died when I was 18 months old, and I was dumped in an orphanage run by the Catholic Church in the USA. That’s where I received punishments. Jesus damn Christ did I receive punishments. I was beaten with a wooden rod for giggling in church, then beaten again when I forgot to go to confession to confess the sin of disrespecting our lord in church. During a bible recital class, I forgot a bible quote and was dragged from the class and beaten again. This regularly occurred from around 6 years old. And to this day, I swear that it was due to me being a mixed race child. All the other boys were white, but the nuns seemed to have it in for me because I wasn’t.

The big punishments I do remember vividly were from around puberty hit. “Having impure thoughts and spilling my seed” was the ultimate punishment and it didn’t matter if it was by self pleasure or by nocturnal emission. The head dormitory nun had this large crook with a brass crucifix on the end. If she ever caught us playing with ourselves, we’d get beaten black and blue with this crook. She was a brutal b*tch, this nun. But while we were being beaten for sinning against god, she was ok with choosing boys (usually the cute blonde boys) to go up to the priests quarters so they could use them as sex slaves. Although nothing was overtly said, we knew what went on when the boys came back hunched over in pain. One fat priest tried it on me once, but I fought him off by buying his arm which drew blood. Christ did I cop it after that. It just added to the already existing beatings I endured.

So if my folks were still alive, I would have rather received punishments from them instead of the violent abuse I received from that home… All because apparently god (who I now realise doesn’t exist) loves his children. What crap.

Jennifer
Totally fine with it. I understand I’m one of those kids that nothing else worked.

Mary
My earliest memory is 2. I knew I needed to help with the groceries, and all went fine until I thought about the milk. At that time it was n glass bottles, and as I got to the bottom step, it slipped from my fingers, and I was already scared because I knew what was coming. My mom explained, but I Still got a sound spanking! By three, I hated him so much I wished for him to just go, and leave us alone! Every time something went wrong, no matter who he thought it was our fault, he’d hit all 3 of us! I can only remember one time when I was so angry, and had no outlet for it, I cut the cord to my mom’s favorite clock while it was still plugged in. I thought if I were dead, there would be no more physical punishments! True, I could’ve killed myself, but I think at that time if I’d been dead I would’ve gotten a better life.

Thomas
It created distance and distrust. I am ashamed of my parents for their actions and lack of understanding that abuse led to a worse family life. But that was caused by many things. Having said that I have seen some horribly behaved children and I’m not sure what really works to get through to them. So… is spanking the quick and most effective way?

Sherman
I was spanked as a child. I don’t feel it was ever abusive or unwarranted. There were times when it could have been done more calmly and that would have been better, but I have no regrets about any of them. When I look back, I feel that I was not spanked when I deserved it in my adolescence. There were several times when it was absolutely deserved. I also feel that a regimen of spanking would have been useful for me to attend to my schoolwork. I was a terrible student and grounding/privilege loss didn’t do anything to motivate me. I believe spanking would have worked, but I have no resentment toward my father for not having done it. I don’t know if my subjective experience was similar to others or whether I’m the only kid in history that wishes he got spanked.

Hank
Both parents did only once and both times I ruined it and made it backfire to the point where they refused any type of punishments like that ever again. I didn’t do anything extreme but when my mom spanked me for calling her dumb/stupid (can’t remember) I cried a bit, got off her and ask “Why are you hitting me?”. I would then walk away from her without her hugging me and she would cry for me to come back (which I did, and now I feel like I made her super sad). I can’t remember if my dad ever spanked me. I think he did once but never got passed one spank because after raising his hand up again he just stopped, sat me up on the couch, and left into the kitchen to talk to my mom. I do know that he spanked my older brother once (not sure why though) but again he didn’t feel like it would work, he was almost afraid of doing it. Growing up anytime a family member suggested they spank us my mom got in there face and was pissed about it. She thinks it just enforces the idea that you should use violence to make a point.

Anne
Physical punishment was non existent in my home. My brothers and I were never physically punished. We turned to be people who dislike violent behaviour. Children should not be subject to any kind of physical reprimand. They may grow up with abusive tendencies.

Norma
They were wrong to do it, but it was the way they'd been raised and they thought they were doing right by us. I've forgiven them for that mistake and several others, since they were very good parents in a number of other ways. My father in particular was a complex and flawed human being with a very big heart and generous nature. He was always there for me no matter what and made sure I knew it, even at times when when he didn't know what the hell to do with me.

Gaspar
I was raised with the belt and the strap and I turned out fine!

Betsy
My parents learned on the first 3 children, so when I came along I had experienced, unworried parents who knew that punishment wasn't effective, and who gave me reasons for the behavior they hoped for, and who encouraged me to be myself. I wasn't expected, for example, to never burp at the table. My father egged us on, in fact, and we laughed a lot about his big burps. My mother didn't like it, so we tried to take that into account at least some of the time. We knew how to behave with company or in public, we didn't embarrass our parents on purpose, and we learned to read social situations for what was appropriate. I don't ever remember being punished for anything.

I'm sure I messed up sometimes, but my parents were reasonable. Bad grades? They were more interested in knowing what made something hard, not the actual grade. They sympathized when my team lost the championship game, or when my cow stepped in my foot again. They didn't lecture me about anything. I didn't feel judged by them, nor did I feel like I could do no wrong. Their approach allowed me to evaluate myself, and not get hung up on other people's opinions.

Our farm life had many challenges, physical and otherwise. I know we made them mad sometimes, when we sat under a tree in the shade instead of helping weed in the enormous garden. But it wasn't made into an obedience thing. No one wanted to be working in the sun, but as kids, we hadn't developed the self discipline to make ourselves do it the way my parents had. I think they understood that. My father sometimes guilted us into doing certain work, which I thought then (and still do) was not a good strategy. I'd have responded better to an honest statement of what he needed us to do, and by when, and an acknowledgment that he knew we didn't want to, and appreciation for our doing it anyway. Because we'd never have just not done it; we only needed to complain a little. I think he just didn't have the bandwidth to pay much attention to our feelings when he was feeling the pressure of farming and big animal care. I know he valued feelings, generally.

So no, no punishment. No imposed hardship or time outs or losing privileges. Just encouragement, real interest, trust in the human organism to want to grow up and become civilized and responsible. And it worked out for everybody.

David
Yes I got it and yes I am a better person today for getting it. In fact I still get what I call a mantance spanking every other week and when I feel I need a good regular spanking I still get them by someone who I have known for years and trust. When I tell him I feel I need a discipline spanking he has the final say if I get it and how much I get or if he feels I don't get it.

Pete
Time out, scolding, early bedtime, loss of privileges, grounding, spankings. I’m very grateful for the discipline I received. What actually made a difference for me was spankings or the threat thereof. Other things had thru place and weren’t useless. I did learn from the other things, mostly time out I guess. My only regret about spankings was that they stopped before my behavioral issues were all ironed out and being grounded didn’t really motivate me as a teenager. I’m not sure why they stopped when I was 9 or 10, cuz I was a naughty kid up through at least 14 and deserved a good whooping a couple times as a high schooler.

Lucia
My parents were very loose with punishments. It was mostly ignoring bad behavior and rewarding good behavior. And we were always talking out problems instead of just punishing. Never anything physical. I think I turned out pretty ok. My sister vandalizes things for fun, but I'm fine.

Tara
I only have one memory of being spanked and I remember that it involved a wooden spoon, but I don't remember the other details, like how old I was or what I had done to get it. I don't hate my parents for it, I guess mostly because I don't remember how often I got spanked. I just know it wasn't a regular occurrence and it wasn't enough to even border on child abuse.

Amber
My parents spanked us, hit us, used soap in our mouths, etc, etc. I guess it was the thing to do at the time so I don’t really judge them too much for it. Definitely not how I chose to raise my kids and sometimes, if I choose to really think about it, I guess it bothers me. But, I usually don’t think about it too much.

George
My mother had 5 boys and was a strict disciplinarian. She, like most Greek women, hit first and asked questions later. We called her the lion tamer because she carried a belt in her hand like a whip, always at the ready to strike out at us. She bragged until the day she died that none of her boys spent a day in jail. Actually, none of us spent one day in jail. And, we’re all college graduates. Every state has a law allowing the parents to administer reasonable corporal punishment on their child for disciplinary reasons. The key is the word reasonable. If the parent beats the child unmercifully, or puts the child in the hospital because of a beating, that’s been ruled by the courts to be unreasonable.

Rachel
I felt mad when I got a spanking because I obviously never wanted the spanking. I would cry after a spanking because it would hurt. Since I was upset about getting spanked I would sometimes try to say it was stupid after the spanking and would scream and complain about the spanking and that almost always got me another spanking. I would also sometimes scream either no or yes when asked if I learned my lesson and the screaming got me another spanking.

Joyce
It only happened once. And I can still remember the outrage I felt 60 years later. Now, as an adult, I can understand why my mother got so upset. But spanking me was still wrong. It didn’t have the effect that she wanted. She had me (at 4 maybe) and my sister sitting on the bathroom sink while she washed us. I was playing with a rat-tail comb. I poked it towards my sister’s eyes. She got really upset and gave me an over-the-knee spanking. Clearly, I wasn’t trying to hurt my sister. I just was too young to understand what might happen. And it wasn’t something I was likely to ever do again. I wasn’t capable of understanding what was going on. The effect of the spanking did not create greater compassion for my sister. It created resentment towards my mother and my sister. What I was doing was clearly wrong. But the punishment needs to get the point across to the one being punished. It didn’t. It probably contributed to the tense relationship I had with my sister as kids.

Billy
I think it has a place in everyone's lives. We all need reminders sometimes. That said CP doesn't work for everyone nor is it appropriate for every transgression - thats just abuse. But for safety issues or other very serious issues CP can have an impact no other punishment can compete with. Yes, we occasionally got CP maybe 15 times by the time I was 25 about half of them bare. There are times I think I should have been given more - like not completing my homework because being prepared is so important in life. Just explaining its important is not enough - at least for me it wasn't.

Mary-Ellen
Every time anything went wrong, I was hit. It didn’t matter I might’ve done nothing, but it was my fault, some how. I started hating my father (since his way was always physical), and always thought my mother should’ve married somebody else. I tried everything from sitting on a chair for the age limit with nothing o do, and for awhile it worked, but when they got too old for the chair, I grounded them for a week. I was tired of talking and when I was already having a bad day, and they started whining, I said any more, and you’ll be grounded! When it didn’t work with the talking, I simply said, you’re grounded! I was already having a tough day I didn’t need anything else on top of what I had already had too much of!

Rebecca
My dad believed in the philosophy, you get spanked if you do something that could potentially hurt yourself or others. He used belts and wooden spoons. The last time he spanked me I was 10, I believe. I just laughed hysterically Everytime he spanked me, and he would ask oh you want another one? I would start pleading and crying hysterically no. Then he spanked again and I started laughing again. He never spanked me again after that. I guess they lost their effectiveness. I'm sure he was trying to hold in the laugh too when it was happening because as a parent he didn't know what the heck was wrong with me because I thought it was hilarious, but my conscience was worried because I was bad because of getting spanked. It's weird I feel guilty for spanking my daughter now, but I know spanking wasn't detrimental to my upbringing. I guess society has instilled in me how horrible they are. But I think it all depends on the child.

Jared
First I wanna say that I was spanked maybe 2–3 times from 6yrs old to 12yrs (maybe younger but I really don’t remember.) How did I feel? I just got disciplined, I was pissed. Looking back, I think it was warranted. I got spanked when I clearly crossed a line. Having multiple nieces and nephews, I learned to let kids make their own mistakes but with that said I also feel as though there are times when physical discipline is needed, but sadly there are people that don’t understand spanking vs physical abuse, I see them as being different.

Tisa
Upset and I resented them but as an adult I'm glad they did. Or I wouldn't have a good head on my shoulders. Unfortunately, not everyone responds that way to it. Some people never let go of that resentment and see it for what it was, discipline. And no, I didnt feel that way I until I had my own kids. Then I understood why it was necessary for certain actions I had done. Then I ran across a situation like that and thought to myself, “oh, so that's why they spanked me. Makes sense,” I thought to myself. It's weird how your perspective changes with age and experiences. Could also be why males seems to harbor more resentment on the matter because one of the only ways to let it go is by understanding why they did it in the first place. It's hard to understand that unless they are put in that situation themselves. So its less likely a male will understand unless hes a father one day himself. Otherwise, they may just hold on to that resentment because it's less likely they will understand why it was done in the first place. That's not the same for everyone and I'm tired of having to be specific to the extreme but apparently thats the type if world you live in when you're not taught to shut the hell up and listen to instructions or directions. That way less time is spent analyzing crap for what's wrong with it instead of just doing what was asked of them, theyd rather argue. No discipline or respect these days. Just arguments and one sided competition.

I was wacked with a stick, so were my siblings. Only if we really messed up, otherwise it was just a clip around the ear from my father. I hold no animosity towards him, he grew up in a era where i guess it was the norms. I dont discipline my own kids the same way, i believe a smack is last resort.

In my household - which meant my beautiful mother and me - I was allowed great freedom, but some things - bullying for instance - earned me a bare-bottom spanking. Having instructed me to remove my shorts and underpants, My mother would place me over her lap. In the summertime, I could feel her naked legs against me. Her spankings were hard, but were always followed by a cuddle. She would soothe my sore bottom with her moisturising cream. You won’t be surprised to learn that this is how I got my first erections. I grew up associating bare-bottom spanking with great sexual feelings.

Peter
Its a two answer question, As a child, your felt scared, guilty for getting caught and of course pain and a bit pissed about it all (never was embarrassed about it being bare or on underwear, it was just normal). As a adult looking back i realize that the world has changed and spankings are not very common anymore and how i was spanked would probably not even be allowed anymore. Also probably was done way to hard looking back to get the point across.

Jenn
I would rather have taken the spanking any day than listen to my mom go on-and-on about ‘how could you do this to me’. I remember asking her once at the beginning of a lecture, “Can’t you just get the belt?” That really pissed her off.

Freeman
If it’s voluntary, and really only used on kids and teens who can understand why they are going to get a spanking. If a spanking is requested, even by a young adult living at home, the reason for the punishment should be clearly understood by the parent who has been asked to spank. Personally, I think unless it has been requested, spankings don’t need to be given bare bottom. I personally, just speaking for me, would give 3 swats with a paddle unless more swats have been requested. I wouldn’t give more than 5 at a time though.

Stone
What about floggings? Now I hate my parents with the deepest hatred and I’ve cut them out of my life and never want to speak to them again, accept if I’m testifying against them in a court of law that is…

Lee
Flogging is a necessity! It must be done on the bare skin with as much force as possible. Young children I use a ping pong paddle. Ten and older I use a strap or a wood paddle.

Hoop
Yes. Only an unfit parent feels the need to use corporal punishment, b/c of his/her own lack of competence in parenting. One gets better results with honey than with vinegar. But all some people have experienced is the vinegar regime in their own upbringing. This is leads to bitter consequences as children become the fearsome and angry/mean adults dictated by their own raising.

Linda
I do think some form of punishment is needed for children today because there are to many young kids that get out of control. But most punishment should be started early in life cause as kids get older they tend to either fight back or resent things.

Steve
Children are TINY and parents are HUGE. If they are giving one little smack on the butt to get your attention in order save your life, that’s one thing but otherwise it’s child abuse. There’s nothing you can do about what they did, but make sure you don’t do it and make sure you tell your friends how you feel about it so they don’t do it.

Lori
It was a daily thing. On my worst day, I was punished three times for something I did not do. For many years I was full of rage and hated the people who raised me. I’ve forgiven them, but try to limit my interactions with them. Even if they can’t beat me any more, they still show some of the characteristics that remind me. I intentionally live very far away from them.

John
When I was 8 years old I was attacked by 3 teenage boys one took my shirt off and held my arms around a tree the other two boys whipped me with their belts buckle end I ended up with 11 deep cuts on my back I needed 38 stitches plus 20 butterfly stitches to close the wounds. The pain was like red hot irons stabbing me in my back until I passed out I was in hospital for 3 days and couldn't lay on my back for 5 weeks. After I was whipped I had a body image problem I wouldn't take my shirt off because of all the scars on my back and what other people would say and said I also blamed myself for what happened to me. The police never court the boys that whipped me I wouldn't go outside incase the boys court me I couldn't take another whipping the police said that the boys must have been given the belt by there parents violence breeds violence.

Penny
I was only spanked one time in my life. It was not very hard. I didnt even cry. I felt at the time that I deserved it. My father s pranked me for some long forgotten infraction. Spanking me upset him much more than it hurt me. He went into his bedroom and cried afterwards. He still regrets it over 50 years later. I only barely remember it.

Stephanie
Spanking is an impulsive dangerous practice. Punishment - means to hurt. It can easily lead to an injury. Discipline means to teach. Logical consequences or natural consequences can resolve many problems. Spanking can teach fear. Spanking could work if it is used to remove a child from an unsafe situation. But beyond smacking a child’s bottom for running out in a busy street or keeping him from touching a hot stove it is useless.

Aspen
When I was younger my dad used to bend me over and spank my bottom with his hand, belts, wooden spoons, etc. He used to also hit me in other places whenever I acted up. That didn’t work, by the way, it just gave me trauma and now I can barely remember that I was alive before 7 years old. But my mom used to yell at me and then take my stuff away and made me stay in my room. That also didn’t work very well, I’m now super sensitive to yelling and super paranoid. It took me years to finally stop doing that stuff though, their methods of discipline didn’t really do much. But I mean I stopped, after a few years. I don’t get in trouble anymore, but if I did I would just get yelled at and get grounded.

Alice
My mom used belts on bottoms. Mom had one of dad’s belts hanging on the back of their bedroom door and my brothers wore belts. When we were bad we were spanked on the bottom of our jeans with a belt. Sometimes we were really bad and mom was at the end of her rope. She would spank us with her bare hand on jeans, while crying. She would break blood vessels in her hand and hurt herself more than us. We tried not to laugh but it was funny. Once she put us on restrictions for an hour or so. She warned us bad report cards and we couldn’t go anywhere. So we were restricted. It was the night of a homecoming football game in the next town. Mom’s friend from that town called and asked mom to come visit while the kids were at the game. When she got off the phone restrictions were lifted and we were taken to the football game, we won. One of our team broke his leg so had crutches a few weeks. She had tried restrictions with our older brother in his senior year when he was flunking out. Nothing but home, school and library. His grades improved, she lifted restrictions, his grades fell he almost flunked out. We were bad kids and drive mom nuts. I don’t believe in spanking; it doesn't improve behavior at all and can lead to abuse. Mom said when dad spanked us she was afraid he would lose control and she would try to get him to stop. He hit me so hard once the buckle hit my leg and left a huge horseshoe welt for days and a buckle mark, I still remember the pain.

Teresa
I was raised by old fashioned parents who believed in old fashioned discipline. From my early childhood until I was in my late teens, it was basically the same whenever I misbehaved. It was always over the lap to get my bare bottom slapped hard, briskly and repeatedly. I never failed to cry. I did not like it but always accepted that I deserved it.

Cristine
I got a smack, the belt was reserved for very bad things, and I never got it. It certainly wasn’t because I was a good girl. It terrified me to watch my brothers and sisters get the belt. I would cry and scream about it as if it were me getting it.

Washington
I grew up at a time when corporal punishment was widely accepted in our society. My mother would teach and instruct us (kids) how to behave in different situations. She was usually calm but if we misbehaved, she would either tell us off or threaten to tell dad if the level of misbehaviour warranted such. The threat of being reported to dad was usually enough to stop any misbehaviour but on some occasions she would follow through with her threat and it would result with my dad’s belt on my legs and bottom. I have good and bad memories of growing up and seeing the endless debate of pro smacking and anti smacking, both sides have merit in their arguments and I genuinely cant conclude if either side is right or wrong.

Amy
When I was little they spanked me over their laps, but once I became a teenager it was different. Daddy has me bend over my bed or the courch for the belt, while mom makes me bend over and hold onto a surface or onto my ankles. Mom uses either a wood spoon or a switch.

Roberta
A good old fashioned spanking for punishment and for reward my mother used to cook something that I liked or would take me to a nice place, like the beach or the mall. Nowadays, she still rewards me the same way and I would not doubt that she would spank me if needed, but she raised me well.

S.Alex
Usually it was the belt used on the spot. And it depends on the age. My grandfather however postponed the punishment until the evening, when I could take it with not so much fuss. It was extruding to wait until the evening to get the belt. After the age of 8, the belting was inflicted on the bare bottom. However my mother spanked me in anger and tires quickly so I got off cheaper. The last spanking I got at the age of 18 for being suspended from school. My mother was very disappointed bur consider me too old for the belt. I felt very guilty, she cried, she threw me hard words and lectures, so I considered that better she would spank me as punishment. As I was shirtless that day, I took off my shorts and remained fully naked lying on the bed, in the position I had been spanked many time before. I deserved that spanking with a vengeance, si I got it without a tear.

Ellisa
They used a belt or strap. The strap was left hanging in the living room on a closet door in easy reach and open view. I was told that if I was asked about it, tell them it was for spanking me. My mother would always ask my boyfriends about it. To see if I had told them and to ask how they felt about the strap and it’s use! If I had not told them it’s purpose by the time she asked them, she would show them before we left.

AC Cambelton
…it would depend on the situation. When I was little it generally their hand across my butt a few times. Or the wooden spoon. But as I got older it would be the leather belt across the backside. I would be sent to my room and made to wait , that was bad enough. One time i stuffed up bad after getting home late again. Only had shorts on and got a hiding of a lifetime. At least 8 times. Man that leather spoke volumes on my butt. It absolutely stung and I had to stay still in my bent over the bed position because if I moved the belt would’ve hit my bare legs. Yes, there were tears.

Michael
My parents used spanking almost exclusively. However they were rigidly disciplined about their spankings. They never spanked in anger, even if they had to put it off for a while. They always left us clothed and they never used more or less than three swats. Afterwards we got a hug and what we had done was never held against us again. I had friends who were beaten, and I recognized the difference. I remember one time a friend and I had got into a situation where one of us would be punished even though we didn’t remember who had caused some damage. As our fathers were talking it out, he and I talked as well. I agreed to take the blame because we understood the vast difference in how our fathers disciplined. I went home, took my three swats, got a hug, and went to bed proud to have spared my friend. The only thing I would change would be to limit spankings to be done with an open palm. That way the person doing the spanking has a good feel for the level of pain. Though I do not recall one spanking that hurt too much or left marks.

William
When I was a kid and I misbehaved or brought home bad grades I got a good, old fashioned talking to. My transgressions were addressed, and always resulted in an empty promise from me to try to do better. Yeah. I had zero accountability at home. Looking back, I now wish my parents had talked to me once. Twice. Maybe three times. Then my dad should have lowered my pants and underwear, I should have been pulled across his knees, and I should have received some “red butt discussion” at length on my bare bottom. I don't know why my parents didn't spank me for all the crap I handed them, but I'm convinced that I would have learned accountability and responsibility at a much younger age if they had.

Tina
We were victims on the wrong side of the belt. I have 1 sister and our dad regularly dished out whatever infraction that we had committed- some of it extremely minor. I went to school (grade) one time with a massive bruise from just above my waist and going down to my knees. We hated him for it. It didn’t show us discipline, or even punishment. It just taught us to fear him when he came home.

Domigene
My mom was a yeller. She wouldn't spank but would yell at me when I talked back to her. She would yell for quite a while. It really hurt my feelings when she did that. My dad was a spanker. Not an abuser and he didn't beat is up or anything. Just a couple of swats on the bum. I'd rather have the spankings than the yelling. I made up my mind that as much as I could I wouldn't yell at my kids but take the time to explain why they shouldn't have done what they did, and the next time what the consequences would be. Take away phones, no TV, Netflix or YouTube. Has worked pretty well.

Jack
As for me myself my parents beat me mercilessly. Fortuitously for me and my kids, I learned a different method to teach and correct them when necessary. Communication is the key! The root of the word discipline connotates both teaching and learning. In order to teach kids what they need to know and to correct them when they have made a mistake one needs to speak with them in a manner they can respect, understand and respond to. For help with this crucial parenting skill, please read a book titled, how to talk so kids will listen and how to listen so kids will talk. The author Adele Farber is genius and a recognized expert on child development, communication and behavior. Our techniques work marvelously well I have employed them with my own kids. In addition, any form of corporal punishment hitting spanking, yelling, scolding, humiliation or deprivation etc etc are child abuse and should never be employed. Good parents would never think to do these things to their children. A little learning goes a long way and can Ensure a peaceful household that is harmonious and lacks the awful tension when parents and children do not know how to agree on what is right.

Michelle
My dad spanked with the belt. However, i don't judge their parenting. They were young and 5 kids, and did their best. I have 2 kids that are now grown. I never hit with the belt or any other object. Sometimes they got a swat on their butt but mostly standing in the corner or sent to their rooms.

Alexis
I wasn't disiplince slot but if I was I was usually spanked with the belt. I think spanking is the most effective it even works for me as a 14 year old babysitter! Thanks for all the support keep sending me messages I will answer them soon as possible!

Osar
My mommy used to spank me until I turned 9. The spankings were very effective and I’ve never resented her for spanking me. Corporal punishment worked for me. And when I started just getting grounded, that didn’t work at all for me. It didn’t get rid of the guilt and this was before social media and smart phones and gadgets, so there wasn’t much my parents could take away from me as punishment. I actually resent my parents for not spanking me until I turned 18. But I still turned out ok and I’m NOT an advocate for spanking children, I’m simply saying that spanking did work for me. And if anyone attacks my mommy for having spanked me or calls it “violence,” I won’t stand for that Phonus Balonus!

Martyn
To avoid hurting his hands… my father beat me on my bare ass with his leather Indian sandals. And another favourite was a long handled wooden ladle that had split at the end so it would raise stinging welts. He also used a leather belt, or just punched with his saddle rings that would work like knuckledusters. And, of course, when me and my younger brother quarrelled, he’d have us stand next to each other, order me to take off my glasses (so they wouldn’t break on impact) and bang our heads together, saying that when two people quarrelled, both were at fault. It stopped when he caught me at fourteen years old throwing knives at his photo on the wall. I guess he realized that one day, a photo wouldn’t be enough to sate my hatred.

Dalton
Whooping when I was between 6 and 8 I got bent over the knee and whooped on bare bottom then between 9 and 12 I got the switch then between 13 and 17 was the on bare bottom my last whooping I was 17 I decided to be disrespectful at the family reunion I got spanked on bare bottom with the belt in front of the whole family.

Jill
It was “wait until your father gets home!” We knew then that we’d get “the strap” which was his old leather belt. Sometimes on the hand but mostly on the legs. Hurt like hell. I decided that if I had children there would be no corporal punishment in my house. And I didn’t. My children had things taken away… toys. They aren’t them back. We also explained why what they did was wrong.

Wendy
We got the wooden spoon treatment. That shit hurt. Especially the ones with the holes in them, because they defied aerodynamics and were faster. The only relief, was when they either broke the spoons over our heads, the parent became exhausted from the spanking, or we screamed so loudly they let up a little. At the end there, we just learned to scream really loudly and pretend it was tortuous! It really wasn't as bad as you might think. We'd scream “bloody murder,” and the beatings would be really light. Easy to take. Especially when we cowered underneath blankets while the SPOON was being wielded. It would protect us from the sting of it. Still, we pretended it was torturing us. Even with the blankets shielding us and the wailing making them lighten the blows. We would laugh at them when they left the room. It sounds horrible, but it wasn't. It was a different Era at the time. Parenting was a lot different back then. Wasn't it? All my friends were spanked as kids. Enough said. 

It's not the same nowadays. I don't see it as if I was a victim of child abuse, because it's just the way it was back then. Everybody did it. Even my school was given permission by parents to spank us with paddles in those days, up to high school age! Big deal. As an older child, being grounded for months at a time was way worse than the wooden spoon, because at least that punishment was over with quickly. Surprised? Times have changed, haven't they?

CC
I got yelled at, spanked and put in my room for hours at a time (my parents often forgot that they had sent me to my room). They never came and talked to me about what had happened after the fact and often times I didn’t know that I had done anything wrong until I got yelled at.

Kittie
When I was little I was punished. There were spankings. Lots and lots of spankings. With an increased number of ‘swats’ for repeated infractions. These were performed by my mother, generally with a metal bread spatula on a bare bum. My dad spanked me exactly once. He didn’t hit hard enough to hurt, and when it was over he was crying. He never did it again. While I don’t agree with corporal punishment at all, I don’t consider the spankings to be abusive - just not effective. As I got older it turned into being grounded.

******

1) What is your name? Andy
2) How old are you? 12
3) Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are they older or younger than you? Only brothers, but 3 of them. 2 older 1 younger.
4) When you get in trouble do you get a spanking? Do your sibs get spanked, too? Yeah we all get spanked, but my oldest brother doesn't really get in trouble that often anymore.
5) Who spanks you? Mostly my dad. We've had some babysitters with spanking authority too though, and other adult relatives.
6) What do you get it with? I used to get it with just my dads hand, which honestly always hurt enough that I didn't think he'd need anything else. But when I turned 10 I started getting it with the hairbrush and the belt. Says it's easier on his hand, but much harder on our butts.
7) What position do you get it in? I have to bend over my dads knee, except for the belt where I bend over my bed.
8) For how long is your butt red after the spanking is through? How long is your butt sore? Hours, days? It's still kinda red the next day. One time I got spanked before a soccer game and my team teased me cause they could all see.
9) About how many swats on the average? My dad doesn't have a set amount, and I've never managed to keep count.
10) Do you get it over your trousers, underpants, or bare bottom? Pretty much always bare. One time a babysitter spanked me over my undies, and I don't think they helped at all anyway. And dad told him to spank me bare the next time I acted up (he did) 10a) If bare, who pulls your pants down, you or the spanker? Usually spanker.
11) What misbehaviors do you get spanked for the most? Any misbehavior can earn a spanking, but slacking on chores the most for me. Dad considers it lying because I made a promise to do them for my allowance, and not fulfilling that is pretty much lying. And lying earns very bad spankings. Also bad reports from teachers or coaches or the babysitter get really really bad spankings too.
12) Do you get cornertime? Before the spanking, after the spanking, both, or no spanking, just the cornertime? All combinations really, but always need to wait in the corner after. Depends on what I did and what kinda lecture im gonna get. The cornertime before getting spanked is the worst. Super anxious because I don't even know if I've earned a spanking yet, but if I don't keep my nose against the wall I'll get extra spanking no matter what, and it's happened more than I'm proud to admit.
13) Do you get the cornertime bare bottomed? Who, if anybody, gets to see you doing cornertime? Not always before a spanking, but yeah after a spanking. Can't avoid being seen at home because of my brothers, but it happens to all of us.
14) Do you cry? Ooh yeah. I used to cry as soon as I got in trouble, before I was even told what my punishment would be. At some point I grew out of it and only started crying during and after. If we're getting a spanking, daddy says it's gotta hurt so none of us really get away without crying from it. We don't get spanked in front of each other unless we did something bad together, but you can always hear it in the house, and once my big bro played a recording of my butt whooping and teased me about it.
15) Do you have any friends/relatives that get spanked? Of course my brothers get spanked too. One time me and another boy on my soccer team had marks from spankings (unrelated incidents lol), and we compared/argued about who got it worse (it was me).
16) If you had a choice, would you rather be grounded, have your electronics confiscated, have extra chores, or get a spanking? I really don't know. Everytime I know I have a spanking coming I'm thinking of how much I'd give up to avoid it, but it's never an option. My dad says spankings do us good.
17 ) When was your last spanking? What was it for? Last wednesday. I was cracking jokes in class, and I thought I was being funny but when I got home I saw the hairbrush hanging on my bedroom, meaning I was gonna get it. Apparently the teacher said I was rude and disrespectful.

******

1) What is your name? Kim. Actually Joakim, but my parents have always called me Kim. I've criticized them for it: why on earth give a child a name and then start calling him by another name?
2) How old are you? 15
3) Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are they older or younger than you? One of each quality: twins. They're almost 2, 13 years younger than me.
4) When you get in trouble do you get a spanking? Do your sibs get spanked, too? Not anymore. It ended at the age of 12 when I got spanked twice on consecutive days. My bottom got massively bruised, and when Mum saw it, she declared our home a spank-free zone. Forever. And that goes for twins too, of course!
5) Who spanked you? a) Dad at home. b) The old man next door elsewhere.
6) What did you get it with? a) With an old family heirloom from my Mum's home: a genuine Scottish, two-tailed Lochgelly tawse (medium heavy) at home which had served at least four generations in her family. b) With an old self-made strap (a length of men's waist belt attached with a wooden handle)
7) What position did you get it in? Lying on my stomach on my bed, hands gripped on the upper bedposts, legs curled around the the bedsides. The position to be maintained until the entire punishment has been received, otherwise it starts again from the first stroke. Note! Never happened!
8) For how long is your butt red after the spanking is through? How long is your butt sore? Hours, days? Marks visible for four-six days, soreness a pair of days less (excluding the bruising case, it took almost a month to be fully healed)
9) About how many swats on the average? Exactly the number of full years of my age.
10) Did you get it over your trousers, underpants, or bare bottom? Always fully bare from the waist down. 10a) If bare, who pulls your pants down, you or the spanker? I myself.
11) What misbehaviors do you get spanked for the most? Breaking the rules written down together, mostly for lying.
12) Do you get cornertime? Before the spanking, after the spanking, both, or no spanking, just the cornertime? No, never.
14) Did you cry? Not actually. It wasn't crying but screaming, howling or roaring. 14a) How hard? At the top of my lungs. 14b) How long? No more than a minute after the tawse had finished it's duty. 14c) Did you start crying when you are first told you are getting a spanking, when you first see the implement you are going to get it with, when your pants come down, or only after the spanking starts? I tried to be brisk and brave, but after a few blows I always screamed. I couldn't help.
15) Do you have any friends/relatives that get spanked? 15a - f) Have you seen them get spanked? 15a - f. No, never. 15g) Have you ever been spanked by a babysitter? If so, how? The neighbour's lonely 80+year-old man can be interpreted as my babysitter. I've spent more time at his place than anywhere else outside the home and school. I have been spanked five times by him when I was 13 (all after my own home became a spank-free zone). The method came from home, me bare from the waist down, my years of blows on the bed with my neighbour's tool described above.
16) If you had a choice, would you rather be grounded, have your electronics confiscated, have
extra chores, or get a spanking? Tbh, I'm not sure! If I were faced with that choice now, as a severely disciplined kid, I would probably choose a non-violent method. I'm pretty sure I won't spank my own, possibly future children.
17) When was your last spanking? What was it for? The 11th June last year. It was the last installment of my beloved 62-year-old moped.(A detailed description of the process can be found in Archive 2 of this site, in my letter to Jay "Re: Buying a Moped without money").

******

1) What is your name? Jay
2) How old are you? 14. Fifteen this coming December.
3) Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are they older or younger than you? Yep. Brody. He's 12.
4) When you get in trouble do you get a spanking? Do your sibs get spanked, too? Most of the time, yeah. And yeah, Brody gets it too when he is bad.
5) Who spanks you? Only dad now, but that is pretty recent. Mom has spanked me plenty before and actually did most of it when I was little. Dad started doing more when I was about ten, and then by the time I was twelve dad was doing most of it. But not I think it will all be from dad.
6) What do you get it with? Hand, paddle, belt if I am really bad.
7) What position do you get it in? Bare butt over mom or dad's knee.
8) For how long is your butt red after the spanking is through? How long is your butt sore? Hours, days? It depends. Usually just a day or so it will be red or pink. With belt spankings it has been a few days before it goes away totally cuz there will be stripes and stuff.
9) About how many swats on the average? I'd say nowadays I would probably always get at least ten swats, but maybe as many as twenty if it was with the paddle. If the belt maybe fewer.

11) What misbehaviors do you get spanked for the most? Gosh, lots of stuff. Lying is an automatic in our house. Cussing is an automatic. Disobeying, not doing chores, backtalk or being smart to my parents.
12) Do you get cornertime? Before the spanking, after the spanking, both, or no spanking, just the cornertime? Nope, parents never did that.
13) Do you get the cornertime bare bottomed? Who, if anybody, gets to see you doing cornertime? Nope.
14) Do you cry? Yep. Embarrassing, buy yeah. 14a) How hard? I hate to say this, but I cry pretty easy. And I cry hard when I do. It seems like sometimes it is hard enough I can't really breath anymore because I am crying too much. 14b) How long? About five or ten minutes. 14c) Do you start crying when you are first told you are getting a spanking, when you first see the implement you are going to get it with, when your pants come down, or only after the spanking starts? When I am told to pull my pants down or when mom or dad takes them down. I can't really explain why, but I start crying earlier than Brody. He doesn't start crying until the swats start coming. He tells me not to feel bad, but I do anyway.
15) Do you have any friends/relatives that get spanked? Not really anymore. In the past, yeah. 15a) Have you seen them get spanked? Yeah. 15b) Have they seen you get spanked? Yeah. 15c) Have you gotten spanked at their house? Yeah. 15d) Have they gotten spanked at your house? Yeah. 15e) Do they cry when they are getting it in front of you? Yes. Do you cry when you get it in front of them? Yes. 15f) Have you ever gotten spanked with a friend or a sib? Who goes fist? I get it with my brother sometimes and I go first b/c I'm oldest. With friends when I was younger I've had it go both ways . . . them first/me first. 15g) Have you ever been spanked by a babysitter? If so, how? No. Supposedly mom gave permission to one of our babysitters, but it never happened and I'm not sure if she really did that or if she was just telling Brods and I that so we would be good.
16) If you had a choice, would you rather be grounded, have your electronics confiscated, have extra chores, or get a spanking? Mmm . . . like Brods, I don't get choices. But if I did, I would say my choices would be, first to last: Spanking, Extra Chores, Grounding, Losing electronics. A good part of the time tho, Brods and I get a combination of punishments.
17) When was your last spanking? What was it for? Over a month ago. It was for breaking my dad's rules about jumping on his ebike and breaking it. I am hoping it will be awhile b4 my next.

******

1) What is your name? Eh, my forum handle is working well enough.
2) How old are you? 2*2*11. Note: Adults please answer the following as it was for you when you were 12.
3) Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are they older or younger than you? When I was 12, I had one younger sister. That's actually still true. She's 9 years younger, so we kind of grew up in different worlds.
4) When you get in trouble do you get a spanking? Do your sibs get spanked, too? I was around 12 the last time I got spanked, but I didn't know it was the last time, so I suppose I would have answered that it was a possibility, but I was getting older and usually didn't need spankings any more, but my sister was getting old enough to get them sometimes.
5) Who spanks you? It was mostly my mom. Very rarely my dad.
6) What do you get it with? The very last time she used a paddle, but otherwise it was always her hand as far as I remember.
7) What position do you get it in? Weirdly, I do not remember the details of this, beyond bent over in some way.
8) For how long is your butt red after the spanking is through? How long is your butt sore? Hours, days? The spankings I got were not that bad. I was fine in less than an hour.
9) About how many swats on the average? Cannot remember.
10) Do you get it over your trousers, underpants, or bare bottom? It was either over trousers or bare bottom, depending on how much trouble I was in. No middle ground, lol. 10a) If bare, who pulls your pants down, you or the spanker? It was me.
11) What misbehaviors do you get spanked for the most? At 12, I think the honest answer would have been either "slacking off on schoolwork" or "disrespect."
12) Do you get cornertime? Before the spanking, after the spanking, both, or no spanking, just the cornertime? I did when I was younger.
13) Do you get the cornertime bare bottomed? Who, if anybody, gets to see you doing cornertime? That never happened as far as I remember.
14) Do you cry? I always cried from spankings. That very last one, it had been a few years since the one before, and I told myself that I was too old to cry from a spanking, but I still did. 14a) How hard? 14b) How long? Harder and longer when I was younger. 14c) Do you start crying when you are first told you are getting a spanking, when you first see the implement you are going to get it with, when your pants come down, or only after the spanking starts? I only remember that last one really well. It was 6 swats, and I started crying partway through. I think after 2 or 3.
15) Do you have any friends/relatives that get spanked? Back in the early 90's, most kids got spanked, or at least most kids I knew. 15a) Have you seen them get spanked? Never saw it happen to anyone, other than my sister. 15b) Have they seen you get spanked? I don't remember that ever happening. 15c) Have you gotten spanked at their house? 15d) Have they gotten spanked at your house? Never had this type of experience.
16) If you had a choice, would you rather be grounded, have your electronics confiscated, have extra chores, or get a spanking? At 12 I had no electronics to speak of. That was back before cell phones were common, and it was before I had a Nintendo. So basically it would have meant no access to my Commodore 128 computer. I'd have happily picked that over the other options.
17) When was your last spanking? What was it for? It was sometime when I was 12, and it was for not doing schoolwork.
18) Any other comments? I should have gotten more spankings when I was older than that.

It depends, but most of the time as soon as my dad pulls down my pants, I cry more than my brother because he holds it in until he turns red, and he cries after several spankings, I don't know how he holds it in :O
15) Do you have any friends/relatives that get spanked? neighbors, my brothers, distant cousins. 15a) Have you seen them get spanked? yes. 15b) Have they seen you get spanked? Only my brothers 15c) Have you gotten spanked at their house? my brothers houses 15d) Have they gotten spanked at your house? yes 15e) Do they cry when they are getting it in front of you? Do you cry when you get it in front of them? yes and yes 15f) Have you ever gotten spanked with a friend or a sib? Who goes first? my brother 15g) Have you ever been spanked by a babysitter? If so, how? no
16) If you had a choice, would you rather be grounded, have your electronics confiscated, have extra chores, or get a spanking? I prefer a spanking, it ends faster.
17 ) When was your last spanking? What was it for? not long ago, for accidentally breaking a mirror.

First spanking from my stepdad in ages!!! It is autumn here but the weather has been kind of weird so the leaves only started changing colour recently and most of the trees still have most of their leaves on. It was still sunny (just) when Mum and stepdad got home and we were all in the kitchen and stepdad said something about how nice the garden (yard) looked in the sunshine. Our garden is tiny but there's a couple of trees in it so the leaves are all red and brown and whatever.

Then Mum said something like, "well it'd be even nicer if Lucas had mowed the lawn properly at the end of summer". Mowing the front and back lawns is one of my chores. And my parents were fine with me not mowing it during May. Which I do because it's good for the bees and other insects if there are flowers in the lawn in Spring. And my parents were *also* fine with me leaving the grass a bit long in other parts of the summer. And I didn't let it get *too* long at any time and I last mowed it a few weeks ago and I thought they had agreed that was fine and that it didn't need doing again. No-one mows their lawn at the end of September!

So when Mum said that, I immediately replied and said "No, you said..." but then of course she looked straight at stepdad and sort of nodded at him so I stopped talking cos I realised I'd made a big mistake even though what I was saying was actually correct and I didn't mean to say it disrespectfully. And stepdad said "you don't say no to your mother like that" and I was going to explain that I wasn't actually saying no or refusing to do anything (cos she didn't want me to mow the grass *now* when it's nearly mid-October) but that I was just replying to what she said. But then I realised there was zero chance of convincing stepdad of all that and it would probably just make it worse. So I just said "sorry". Then he grabbed me by the scruff of the neck (by the back of my collar) and started marching me towards the garage. Which he didn't need to do cos I am totally capable of walking to the garage on my own if I get told he's gonna give me the belt. The key to the garage is kept in a dish on the breakfast bar in the kitchen. Which we actually walk past on the way to the garage. And I knew we were going to need the key to get into the garage. So I tried to grab the key as he marched me past. But he was dragging me along so quickly that I didn't manage to grab it. So when we got to the garage door he stopped and waited for me to unlock it, but I couldn't obviously. So he was kind of annoyed (as if it was my fault!) and still holding onto my collar he marched me *back* to the breakfast bar to get the key. And then back to the garage again lol. And then I unlocked the door and went in and he came in after me and I went over to his workbench.

And I stretched over the workbench without taking anything off yet cos that's the procedure for spankings in the garage. Then he grabbed my trousers and undies together at my waist and pulled them down to my ankles all in one go, fast. Which I knew he was gonna do but it still made me catch my breath cos it's cold in the garage at this time of year. So I was stretched over and trying to keep still (and not start crying yet) and feeling the chilly air on my legs, and I heard him take off his belt and do that snapping thing with it. Which I should've thought it was a good thing that he wasn't going to use the cane. But I wasn't really thinking very clearly.

Then he started The Lecture. One of the good things about spankings in the garage is that The Lecture is always very very very short. He said something like, "I don't expect ever to hear you say no to your mother, is that clear young man?" and I said "Yes sir". Then he said "Right", then like one second later he gave me the first whack with the belt. It was lots and lots and lots of whacks but he didn't do super long pauses and he didn't say anything in between whacks. I cried plenty and stepbro says that my yelps were loud enough he could hear me clearly from the dining room which is on the far opposite side of the house from the garage. Which is kind of embarrassing cos our garage is only about ten yards from the street and it's not soundproof at all (there's gaps round the edges of the garage door) and there's about a dozen houses close enough for people to hear. Plus it was early evening so plenty of people probably actually walking up or down the street or even outside their houses.

When he finally finished he put his belt back on and then he stood there waiting for me to pull my pants up. Then he took hold of me by the back of my collar again. Which I guess is a new thing he's decided to start doing for whatever reason. And he marched me back out of the garage again. Not as fast as before. And he had me lock the door behind us and bring the key. Then he marched me back into the kitchen and I could see that my stepbro had put out a bowl in the dining room with a soapy dishcloth in it. Which meant I was gonna get my mouth soaped which I kind of expected. cos stepbro decided ages ago that insolence gets a mouth soaping the same as swearing does, and Mum and stepdad strongly agree with him. Mum was still in the kitchen and she just smiled at us as we came in.

Stepbro does this thing that when I have to sit at the dining room table with soapy dishcloth in my mouth for corner time. He also puts a load of books on the dining chair that I sit on. So that my feet don't touch the floor, like a little kid. Which is to make it smart more to sit there. And this time he had added. On top of the pile of books. He said "inspired by the Lego paddles you found". A Lego baseplate, like this but slightly bigger:


And he said I had to take my trousers and undies down again and then sit on that for the whole time of my mouth soaping. And I looked over at Mum to see if she agreed I really had to do this. And she just nodded but I could tell she found it kind of funny too. So I did as I was told and sitting on the Lego baseplate thing with a sore bottom was really really really bad. Because it didn't stay completely still on top of the pile of books so it was impossible to not keep moving slightly to stay balanced. And every time I moved, it made the bumps on the Lego thing jab into a different part of my sore bottom. And the soap was horrible as well but I am kind of used to that. Stepbro timed the 16 minutes that I had to sit there with the soap in my mouth. Cos Mum and stepdad never bother with things like timing the minutes. Although both of them did look into the dining room part way through. I guess that was just to make sure that I was learning my lesson. I have decided that "no" is a word to be super extra careful of when talking to parents!

When I was a boy I was quite a brat and I received quite a few severe punishments. My dad would put me over his knee and spank my bare bottom with the back of the clothes brush, he was a huge construction worker and the spankings really hurt and left me in floods of tears. After the punishment I would feel very sorry for myself and would be a very chastened boy for quite a while! My bottom remained sore for ages and sitting down was a nightmare!

Many of my spankings were severe. My folk used a leather belt, doubled, that bike the flesh and produced a stinging pain. As a kid, I cried and pleased, trying to get off cheaper. As a teen I learnt to take my punishment more bravely, so I felt better after the spanking ended for I felt unburden for my guilt as long as had paid by pain for it. He who takes the punishment is absolved by his / her guilt.

When I was 7, I lived with my aunt and uncle and cousins in California because I had asthma so bad the doctors said dry climate would help. At Christmas my mom sent money for me to get a bicycle, my uncle told me NOT to I let anyone else ride it. But if another kid wanted to ride it, I would let them. One day I let another kid ride my bike and the chain came apart, when my uncle found out I let another kid ride my bike, he took my bike away, and wouldn't fix it. Almost a year later I asked my boy cousin about 6 years older that me, why the chain broke, he said “The Master Link came off”, I said “how do I fix it ?” He said buy a new one at the bike shop. So with my $0.50 a week allowance, I saved $1.30 and gave it to my cousin to stop by the bicycle shop and buy it. My cousin showed me how to put it on, no big deal once you know. Everything was cool, I was riding my bike again ! THAT WAS UNTIL. My uncle saw me riding my bike again! He took it away, then took it all apart, and put the parts in different places so I couldn't reassemble it!! THEN the worst thing was. My uncle beat up my cousin his own son for helping me!! Once my mom found out what was happening, she moved to California and took me away from them! This was just one of the incidents I had happen while I lived 6 years there. I really felt guilty getting my cousin beat up because he helped me, he was a cool guy !

I said this before between 7th and 8th grade summer school I was 11 . 25 swats with a leather belt bare butt. Itp was the worst whipping I ever got from a teacher. I had a hard time sitting from the top of my thighs to my lower back. Because my parents were going on vacation for 2 weeks he asked if I could stay at his home with his family. My parents were not told until they got home. In the meantime his wife put cooling lotion on my bare butt. (NO I wasn't embarrassed. Heck was totally hairless. Small time went skinny dipping all the time). When he told my parents why? They really didn't care just told me to strip, and she beat the hell out of me back legs butt. I passed out from the pain. It took my step-dad to stop her otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.

Back to the year 2010, we had this examination called “Grade 5 scholarship”. It was a pretty big deal back then and it still is. And in a strict family like mine, I was forced to study long hours for the exam. It was exhausting for my 9 year old mind so much so that one day I refused to study. I remember my mom getting so mad over that. She picked a twig from the garden to hit me. Before she could get any closer I knew what she was going to do next. I stood up and started running but she caught me in time and started hitting me. My knees were bruised and the only thing I could do was cry it out. I passed the damn exam but I swear it's done nothing to better my life in any way. 

Child abuse. I didn't know it was called child abuse when I was 9 years old. I remember teachers at school saying “We hit/scold you because we love you. We want you to do your best. That's why we punish you. To get you into the right path". This happens in most schools and households in Lanka. It's normalized in the society that it's okay to hit children. Why do parents and teachers hit children? Scold them? Why do they traumatize their childhood? Just so the children can grow into a broken adulthood? These are the questions that I can't find answers to. I hope this ends someday. My heart goes to the children who suffer from abuse like this.

I’ve gotten spanked with a belt on bare bottom many times. The first time I ever got a bare bottom spanking was with a belt when I was 10. I didn’t even know getting spanked without your pants on was a thing. I’ve also gotten spanked with a hand and a hairbrush on my bare bottom. But my most recent spanking a little over five weeks ago was with a belt. And yes, my butt was bare.

Normal back then, but declining and getting less severe. That’s probably why crime has been consistently falling since 1994, to the current all-time low. Contrary to Facebook memes about kids being “out of control”, it’s incredibly rare for me to see that anymore. The last time I saw a kid pitching a fit in a store, it kinda freaked my son out, because he’d never seen that. That would’ve been about seven years ago; I don’t recall seeing anything similar since then.

Working in public housing, I do see kids getting the hell beat out of them every day. It was an eye-opening experience to see a woman screaming “motherfucker!” at her toddler still in diapers, and damn near every unit has switches and belts laying on tables and TVs. I’m sure it’s effective because the entire community is perfectly safe; most of those kids join a community volunteer organization called “Crips” and decorate the neighborhood with fine art done by spray paint. They shoot a tremendous number of drug dealers: the city of 80k has about 30 homicides annually. *rolls eyes

There’s a point where we have to step back and look at reality, and accept failure. Almost everyone I know who brags, “I got spanked and I’m a better person!”….I’m sitting back thinking, “I’ve known you for over thirty years, since we were in elementary school. You are a deeply committed racist, though you hide that online. You look at poor people as vermin. You complain to restaurant managers after eating, even if everything was flawless, simply to get a discount. You’ve never read about a war you wouldn’t happily send American soldiers to fight (excluding your own children). You’ve cheated on all of your wives, and you have a minor criminal record for drug offenses. The most decent thing about you is while you post hostile political garbage online, a quick check with the State Board of Elections shows you aren’t a registered voter. If what your parents did to you is considered a success, I’ll take failure for my own. You didn’t turn out okay; you turned into a wretched human being. As a consequence of that treatment, you now believe hitting children is okay.”

My childhood was in the 60’s and early 70’s. All my punishment were on my bare backside. Even if I was in public, it was still on the bare butt. It wasn’t just the hand or belt. It also included the hairbrush, bathbrush, wooden spoon, horse whip and the switch. They all were very painful. Some more then others. All were very effective in teaching me that violence is not the way to punish a child. It just made me totally fear my mother. It didn’t make me behave better, because I already was very well behaved. She still found whatever reason she could to beat the hell out of me.

What can I expect when getting spanked with the belt? A very well burned butt. They will likely strike your behind until they know you've learned your lesson and possibly longer. When one of my children have earned a spanking and it's time to apply the spanking they go to their room and either lower their pants and underwear or lift their skirt and lower their underwear before laying across their bed. Then I start striking their bare butt with the belt but it doesn't really start until the real tears start. That means sobs not boo hoo I'm in trouble. When I'm done they have a very red bottom and go to the corner where they stay for half an hour after the tears stop. It starts then so they can think about what they did and how much trouble they're still in. Punishment doesn't end with a spanking. They could lose free time, miss out on an event they want to do, pay a fine, early bedtime or an early bedtime with a spanking before bed for a set amount of days. It will start with that day unless the spanking happened close to bedtime. If it does when corner time is done and they apologized for what they did and agree they deserved it and the additional punishments then they go to bed. We don't hug and coddle them when they earned a spanking it's not something they deserve to be coddled over.

It was when I was growing up and it is now for my kids. My husband and I are almost identical to my parents when it comes to our go to imlements if implements are required. My go to and my mothers go to spanking implement is a wooden hairbrush, both my Dad and my husband’s go to spanking implement is a belt. Not sure if that is a male/female thing or if I’m the only one out there that is like this, but, yes, it is very normal, if your parents believe or you believe in corporal punishment.

ALOT of course, but keep in mind this was like 15-30 years ago as well, there were plenty but not all were memorable enough to remember many years after. But there were still a few that I remember, and that means that the lessons they imparted were taken to heart! It also gives you the chance to say to your children “hey kid I know what you're going through, I was spanked for something just as naughty when i was a child” and my kids like to hear some of those stories, but when its a childhood friend or family members retelling it at dinner, its still embarrassing and I feel like that lil girl again blushing as mom told a friend allll about her daughters antics that morning. I will give three memories/examples. 

I was I think 8 years old. At a church picnic, were a bunch of families and many of us kids all were spanked so it was just a fact of life. But, my friend and I were playing with a ball and not paying attention I ran to catch it and bumped into a plate of hotdogs that went flying everywhere and you could just hear the audible gasp as if I had just set the picnic table on fire lol (well mom set my butt on fire) I heard my FULL name, thats when you know your in trouble. Determined look on her face, mom grabs my hand and also grabs a nearby wooden spoon. Marched me away from people, though not that far. Sat on an empty picnic table, and gave he a spoon lickin on bare butt. Made me stand there in a time out too. Everyone heard and saw and it was very embarrassing but humbling, I was more careful after that

A simple one, not sitting still being loud at church, mom marching me out in my Sunday dress to an empty church classroom, giving me a hand spanking , none saw but I am sure they heard, I also came back in rubbing back of my dress and red eyes.

Sleepover with a female friend at my house Friday night, age 13. Mom was more than fair warned us then again warned us “If I hear your girls up again I will come spank you, Kristina” she said something and we both started giggling, I heard moms footsteps coming up. We tried to hide under covers and act asleep , but didn't work. Mom came in , pulled me out of bed, sat down, over her knee. She said how I was the host and my friend was a guest, she doesn't know the house rules but you do, you need to set the example, so thats why you are getting this spanking and not her!” My friend was no stranger to spankings but had never seen mine. Her mouth was dropped open and at some points saw her covering eyes, as mom spanked me good n soundly with her hairbrush. Bestie was kind enough to apply cold cream to my bottom, and we are still friends to this day!

About corporal punishment

A corporal punishment or a physical punishment is a punishment which is intended to cause physical pain to a person.  When it is inflicted...
