Do you regret having a spanking fetish ever ?

It complicates life ...

I was never spanked as a child. But I have always as far back as I remember wanted to be spanked. I remember fantasies about spanking as far back as the age of 6-8 years old. But you are right. It does complicate life. Even with a very understanding vanilla wife through more than 40 years.

I didn't discover my kink until I was in my 40's and long-married. Since then, after coming to terms with it, I've found it to be a very satisfying addition to my life. And I'm very lucky that it has been more than sheer fantasy. So no regrets here. (Although if I had been a spanko during my teen years and while dating, I suspect my answer might be different).

My wife knows of my fetish,but doesn't like it or understand it. She doesn't bother me as far as surfing the net to fulfill my need. I have thought about going to a pro as I would be a bottom,but it would be behind her back and second my job is sensitive to things not considered the norm. Funny thing about the job is that It would be fine sleeping around on my wife,but getting a spanking from a femdom would be considered deviant I'm pretty sure.

I've never regretted having a spanking fetish. That being said, I greatly regret being afraid to bring it up because I was afraid of scaring women off. I was lucky enough to find a girlfriend in college who was a spanko, though I didn't know it until we were already in a relationship.

I discovered my interest in my early teens but never realized how strong the urges were for many years after that. I have no regrets about my interest, just wish I had realized much more when I was younger and could have sought to make sure those urges were satisfied. I have a great marriage and a wonderful woman as a partner but would I have changed things if I knew...I really don't know the answer to that question.

I've never regretted it, and it's been part of me for as long as I can remember. But I certainly agree with virginiacherry earlier in this thread that "it complicates life." I find this discussion very interesting, as I've also wondered from time to time over the years how I would differ if not driven by a strong spanking interest.

While I don't regret it, there's frustration and sorrow over the fact that I neither have a Disciplinarian in my life, to help smooth over life's difficulties and my little glitches, of the fact that I can't seem to get the money together to purchase a spanking machine so I could attempt to "self-heal."

Such a simple, yet great question.

I have loved spanking since at least my early teens. When was that? Well, suffice to say, I also loved Get Smart, Hogan's Heroes, and Green Acres (and I Dream of Jeannie, though for different reasons than the 3 aforementioned shows). I don't regret having a spanking fetish now, especially since there is so much information and community now associated with our fetish. I even hesitate to consider it a "fetish"; it seems to get more common every day. Sites like the LSF make it seem as if you aren't one of the "cool" folks unless you either have a "hot" behind, or want to give someone else one.

Back in my teens though, I think I did regret having a spanking fetish. There just wasn't enough information available to a teen - or maybe even to an adult - about spanking, other than its use as a parental disciplinary tool. There were some off color, hard-to-find magazines, stories and books on the topic, almost all of them S&M related, with spanking as part of their topics. Always delivered to your house in a "plain, brown wrapper." How was a teenage boy able to make sense of his love of spanking, or even communicate it to anyone else, when it had to be covered up, literally and figuratively, in a plain brown wrapper?

Very gradually, though - partially because I grew up a bit, and partially because I began to care less about what other people thought (and, later on, with a big assist from Al Gore's internet), I stopped regretting having the fetish, and began to enjoy having the fetish. I still stood apart from the majority of people, but that was ok. And as I got more information about spanking, and it became apparent that there were many more spanking enthusiasts than previously thought, that was even more ok. Kinda like I was right all along, even when I didn't have a clue what I was right about.

I have always loved my so called fetish of spanking females. Ever since I was a boy growing up in England, and wanting to spank one of my teacher's on her bare bottom, my sexual and erotic feelings of making passionate love to her and spanking her were on high. Yes, wishing her to bend over a desk, raising her dress or skirt up high, and gloriously pulling down, her panties, knickers, or bloomers to bare her naked derriere, would have been heaven for me. I have NEVER EVER regretted this feeling for the past 70 years.
