I wanted to share this account of a spanking that I had when I was about 11, I think. Regular spankings, or ‘smacked bottoms’, were given by my mother, usually in my bedroom, with me lying across the bed, feet on the floor. On this occasion, however, Mum decided to punish me while I was […]
Not too old
While growing up, I was subjected to many spankings. The most memorable was when I was a few days short of my 16th birthday.
