My first name is Henrik. That is the Swedish version of "Henry", of course. I am not afraid to come out as a spanko. I have already done so here in Sweden.
My schoolmates in the job training program which I am in right now think of me as being that "crazy spanko guy", because I have told them about my fetish, and I crack so many jokes about spanking during the coffee and lunch breaks. They think that it is hilarious! One joke I told was - "Tomas [Tomas is one of my two teachers] - you know, your job would be so much easier if those stupid politicians had not abolished corporal punishment in the schools back in 1958". Nowadays Tomas often asks me jokingly - "Henrik, would you like to follow me home after school and get a spanking?" My teachers and schoolmates have not tired yet of my spanking related jokes. But maybe eventually they will, if I do not exercise some self-control!
I have also come out and advocated the institution of corporal punishment in the schools and the criminal justice system, in debate articles which I signed with my own name and to which I attached a photo of myself.
So why did I choose to appear here under a pseudonym, instead of using my real name? It is not due to my feeling any embarassment about being a spanko. Well, it was merely because everybody else here seemed to use pseudonyms. I got the impression that it was "good manners" to use a pen name, rather than to use one´s real name.
So what does my pen name "galt54" mean? Well, here are two clues - I am a "died-in-the-wool" Objectivist, and I was born in the year 1954.
In case those clues are not enough - the philosophy of Objectivism, which provides me with my basic frame of reference in life, was created by a woman by the name of Ayn Rand. Ms. Rand wrote some great fiction, in addition to writing works on the subject of philosophy. The novel which Ayn Rand is best know for is Atlas Shrugged, and the main hero in Atlas Shrugged was named "John Galt". So there you have it. My pseudonym indicates who I am, by giving you a clue about what philosophy I live by, and by telling you how old I am. That is why my pseudonym is "galt54". |
