Should stories have a moral ending?

I prefer unfair punishments. If you are my age or near it and you think of the punishments you and your contemporaries received at school how many were fair? Not many I would guess. Then again you might ask is corporal punishment ever fair? I like nothing better than a schoolmistress or stepmother who is dedicated to smacking bottoms for the flimsiest of reasons. The unfairer the punishment the better. After all it is fantasy and we need not take it seriously!

Agreed. As an adult it is really difficult and indeed rather crazy to do things that would have merited a spanking when you were young, like breaking windows or bullying someone. It therefore becomes necessary to get spanked for trumped up offences.

Typically one partner can instantly and suddenly out of the blue adopt the role of the strict aunt or uncle and give a spanking for swearing, rudeness and being late home. All good fun.

Well put, Brosse6.
