Playboys Ribald classics

There was a spanking story/essay in a Playboy magazine regular section called Ribald Classic. It had to do with an old judge, his wife and daughter getting robbed one night riding in a coach. Both wife and daughter are belt spanked by the thieves. One of the first spanking stories I ever saw in print. I'd love to find it to reread it again. Has anyone see it since it's printing?

The only Playboy spanking story I recall is one where the author was supposedly commissioned to do first hand research into women who place personal ads looking for bdsm partners. When he links up with an attractive woman who was looking to be spanked, she complains that he's spanking too hard. Then once he confessed that he's only doing research for an article, she tells him that SHE is only doing research of her own for a woman's magazine. They ditch the spanking in order to have sex.

Quite frankly, I found that ending a total letdown.

(This would have appeared sometime in the 1970s)

if you knew what issue of Playboy the story was in, you could probably find it for sale. If you remember the year and month, you have a remarkable memory. If you just have a general idea of when that issue of Playboy appeared, that would be helpful. (Decade, early, middle or late in that decade.) If you remember who was on the cover, or who the playmate of the month was, that could be very helpful. If you remember , even from fellow spankos, any of that information, and care to share it on this forum, I'll help you search. I understand that many of our members wish to keep their ids secret, even from their fellow spankos. so if I found that issue, I would probably just tell you where you could order it.

I only WISH I could remember the month/year! Alas, I'm only certain that it was in the late seventies when my spanks kink was awakened.

Ahhhh, I remember reading that story back then, I found it to be silly and unrealistic, with its implication that adults involved in consensual spanking activity were mostly (if not entirely) 'vanilla' undercover reporters. If that were so, how did a spankophile community come into existence to start with, at least prominently enough for investigative reporters being assigned to cover its activities?

For people attempting to pass themselves off as practicing spankophiles, both characters were quite inept at their supposed roles, thus obviously neither one had done any serious 'prep' for his/her assignment. That they found their spanking experience to be "boring," that was to be expected since they were both pure 'vanillas' with highly limited views of human sexuality.

The author was apparently pushing the notion that only 'vanilla' sex has human value, but to me the story simply showed that dishonest phonies attract each other...

I'm sure I remember reading this - or something very similar. I can't remember the title, but I recall an illustration of a cane and pair of striped female buttocks - with the stripes being drawn on with a lipstick!

The ending was slightly different, though; in the last line, when they'd agreed to go back to his place for sex, he was thinking of the tawse he kept there...!

Possibly the same story - but Playboy toned down the ending?

I'm highly doubtful of that, because the male narrator keeping a tawse at home would totally contradict his claim of having *zero* personal interest in consenting-adult corporal punishment--in fact, he described his rather ineffective hand-spanking of the woman as "boring" for both of them.

Having read this account around four decades ago, I don't recall too many details, still I recollect it ending as the two of them were about to have purely 'vanilla' intercourse--since they already had sufficient privacy for spanking purposes, they certainly had no need to relocate anywhere to have regular sex.

So those were quite likely two separate stories, I'm figuring--the title of the one I read was something like "Dominant Male Seeks Submissive Female with Spankable Bottom"...
