If the build up is there, then it could be good.
I've read some of Sharon Green's old sci-fi novels (written back when you could include spanking in mainstream novels - something that was quashed for a time by the alliance that stopped the Gor novels) where there are very few pages devoted to spanking - but a wonderful build up that made those stories special. Hints that a spanking could happen, threats (joking or otherwise) about spanking, a relationship slowly building between two characters where a spanking could easily happen...
Let's leave it at me saying that they were good novels. Oh, and if anyone wants to know more about those novels, you could start with "Mind Guest: Diana Santee, Spaceways Agent #1" (by Sharon Green). It's about a female James Bond type agent named Diana Santee (she works for the Spaceways Interstellar Agency) who spends most of the book trying to pretend to be a princess on a primate planet. The "mind guest" is a persona implanted in her mind to help her act the role of a princess, which can be hard to turn off - especially if the "princess persona" thinks she needs a spanking. No, there aren't many spankings in the novel, maybe 2 or 3 at most, but it is wonderful example of a mainstream novel with spanking in it. |
