There may be some authors who wish that their spanking fantasizes could come true, but I would argue that most would reject the type reality that would allow that sort of thing to happen.
There is where we disagree I am afraid. There is no way to prove either side however it is my belief that unless one has an interest in and a desire to see or have something happen, then that one would never be able to consistently write voluntary stories about it over a period of years. An occasional story or a research paper perhaps to obtain a goal or grade, but never a long term relationship in something one is not interested in and does not have some desire to experiment in. Perhaps that interest and desire never get a chance to happen, but it is there.
None of us would be on site if we did not have an interest in spanking of some type. Why else would we be here? If that is true, then one who voluntarily writes stories for the site has chosen to share their ideas/fantasies about spanking, and I dare say, to perhaps hope/wish/desire such things to happen even though they may know it never will.
On a site such as this, there are no scientific research papers, no pressure to get certain grades or anything of the sort. People are here because they want to be here, because the stories here fulfill a need found in themselves, (for many an unexplainable reason). When one reads these stories. many I would think place themselves in that situation and in a minor sense live through that story for a few brief seconds in their lives.
I am not saying the extremes apply here , but I do think the vast majority are here because in this land of fantasy they have found some fulfillment of their desires and wants. Those desires and wants for most will remain in the fantasy world, but for a lucky few maybe fantasy and real life meld and things turn out for them.
I think the rape scene is a far cry from reality. The fact is that most men would never rape a woman and thank God for that, however with the right partner who shares the same interest, who knows were role playing takes someone. However if one reads some of the non-consent stories on site, do we really think that they are feasible either? The answer is a clear "no' however, that does not mean it does not or could not happen.
There have been many comments etc on the two years I have been on site where ones have written such things as "I wish my wife/husband would..." or "I would really like to find a partner/adventure like in this story." There clearly are controlled fantasies in those peoples minds and there is nothing wrong with it.
People today are trained to think we must only do and act as society demands of us as individuals. That I suppose keeps the world from running amok, however there is nothing saying one cannot express their individual feelings in a fantasy story on a site such as this.
In the end I stick to my statement, many of us are what we eat and write what we desire, perhaps secretly or openly, it does not matter. The good thing about this is that just like we regulate what we eat, so too we regulate our fantasies and the vast majority of them remain on a site like this and never go any further.
