It's 1. for me. Spanking was just not an approach my parents employed in terms of discipline. I grew up in the '50s and '60s, so others my age had a different experience at home when rules were broken. I wasn't spanked at school either -- though occasionally a fellow student was -- but I do recall very clearly twice being threatened with spankings, once in first grade by the principal, and once in seventh grade in front of the class by a gym teacher. The principal meant it -- I have no doubt to this day, and I was very scared. The gym teacher claimed, one minute later, that it was a joke. I didn't find it funny. I'd not done anything and still think back on that as the action of a bully. Despite my no-spank status as a kid, I was a spanko even then., fascinated by it. By age 14, it took on an element beyond curiosity, as I began writing fictional accounts of spanking members of the opposite sex. |
