Origins of Specific Kinks/Preferences

Absolutely Alan.

I don't know how you feel about it, but I much prefer to see a spanked girl with her skirt flipped up and her panties pulled down, rather than totally naked.

I feel exactly the same, but I hadn't really understood why. I often write about panties straining between kicking thighs, as it somehow makes the picture so much more exciting than being completely bare. I've noticed that I've also immediately skip past cp videos where the spankee is nude.

I have often puzzled over what turned me on to spanking. I don't think that it was spanking or anything to do with it.

I have, for as long as I can remember, so since I was about three, been attracted to the female bottom and from that age and for a few years thereafter I was able to indulge that interest playing "doctors and nurses" with a younger neighbour. I can only remember playing the schoolmaster-pupil variant, involving light spanking of her naked behind, on one occasion and I know that the spanking would have been merely a reason to bare and play with her bottom.

After some years of no action I discovered spanking literature in my early teens (books bought in Soho and a friend's father's collection of Penthouse magazine when the letters section was at least 50% very well written spanking stuff--so well written that one questioned the identity of the "correspondents").

Spanking fantasies and pictures allowed me to enjoy and interact with girls' bare bottoms and gave some context to that. I think also that in common with many adolescent males I was frustrated that the girls I fancied (most of them) did not necessarily fancy me. Spanking fantasies put me in control--they did what I told them to. Something that was definitely not happening for me in real life. Gradually the spanking bit eclipsed the bare bottom bit and it was not long before I was spanking girls because I wanted to, not just because I wanted to take their knickers down.

Having said all that there is no doubt that sexual sub/dom was always there in the background. It is just that I didn't recognise it until I discovered spanking. I recall a book, read when I was about 10 or 11, which included a statement from the female narrator, a teen, that a male friend (or relative) had threatened to strip her naked and throw her into a stinging nettle patch. I found that extremely exciting and the fact that I still remember it now is indicative.

So, in conclusion, I can't think of any specific incident that turned me spanko. I think I was born with an interest in female bottoms and a desire to dominate sexually. Eventually I discovered spanking as the perfect combination of those interests and have not looked back since.

A very interesting take indeed Geoffrey, and very different to where I come from on spanking.

I love women's bottoms and always have, but totally from the perspective of wanting to spank them.

Having always been a switch since around four years old, it is the punishment aspect that pushes my button in both giving and receiving. Foreplay spankings are nice, but when there is a genuine reason to spank and it hurts proportionately to the crime, that is where I am really turned on. It mustn't be sadistic, which is why I hated hand canings happening at my schools, and why I get turned off by OTT punishments in novels.

For various reasons, my "kink" if you call it that is to be spanked by authoritative women while I am nude

Raise hand. One of the fantasies I find the most arousing is the babysitter spanking the children she in charge of kind of scenario. I'm almost certain I developed this kink thanks to a specific event that happened when I was a kid (can't remember how old I was, but most likely younger than 10). My mom was looking to hire a babysitter for my sister and I and she happened to interview a woman (I almost don't remember anything about her, I think she was in her thirties or forties though). I didn't witness the interview, but I remember that once the woman left, my mom told me something like that (translated + it happened about 20 years ago so obviously not 100% accurate): "You won't believe it! That woman said she could spank you if I allowed it! I said I would give her a call, but obviously I'm not going to!" My mom never raised a hand against us so that's why she was outraged at that woman proposal (and to be fair it was pretty weird to suggest something like that in my opinion), but with me being a spanko it certainly stuck in my mind and that's probably why I have a "babysitter spanking kink" now.

Mine just happened, cant really explain, around 12. I did get a few at school but in private. It was one time hearing my sister get spanked that i found myself intrigued by it all. a urge to what to know all aspects of it and wished i could watch. That urge became id look at others and wonder did they get spanked then imaging that play out.
