I think most of us have things that make us make us react in a similar way, just not necessarily the same thing. For me personally - after apostrophe abuse lol - it is sex after (during/before) spanking... I find that overtly described sex, or the use of base terminology, makes me cringe. To me it detracts from the story and less is definitely more. I do however realise that I am in the minority.
Ahhhh well, I pretty much react that way as well--I don't mind there being a reference to erotic interaction occurring (presumably between spanker and spankee) afterward, but unless it's directly and strongly related to the spanking-based plotline, I'd rather not have any detailed description of the sexual relations involved.
As for the spanker showing affection to the spankee, I don't see any hypocrisy in that unless the corporal correction went brutally past its recipient's limits.
If it was a disciplinary butt-blistering, hugs and kisses (and possibly even erotic interaction between spouses/lovers) show that the spankee has been forgiven by the spanker, and that he/she in turn recognizes that the punishment was administered in his/her long-term best interest and/or to benefit their relationship. (This could apply to both consensual adult spankings and ones administered by a family or quasi-family authority figure.)
If it was basically a playful chastisement, including a bet payoff or a forfeit in a spanking-related game, showing affection afterward would indicate that both parties accept the light-hearted aspect of the situation.
AFAIC in both cases the 'whuppings' could still be very sound, even quite severe, and nonetheless result in affectionate behavior afterward--and possibly before and/or during as well, such as the spanker gently patting the spankee's exposed posterior as he/she is standing with his/her nose in the corner. (I've occasionally had comments that some of my womanly disciplinarians seem to be 'phony' in addressing their masculine victims by terms of endearment while delivering rather intensive corporal correction to them, but I don't view it that way myself if the recipient is generally punished that severely.)
I'm especially fond of having the sniffling, sore-bottomed male spankee sweetly kissing his feminine spanker's smooth, creamy white bumcheeks for 5-10 minutes immediately after she's thoroughly 'fixed his little red wagon' for him--IMHO that definitely shows that there are no feelings of resentment over him being disciplined by her...
