Growing up in Missouri, I got spanked pretty much every day – but then, so did all the other children around me. Mostly, the spanking would be of the most informal kind – I often got a swat on the seat of my jeans for sassing a grown-up or simply being in the wrong place […]
Four generations
My father James was raised in a Christian orphanage in the 1930s and 1940s. He was evacuated during the Second World War alongside all the other children, and so lived both in Southampton (before and after the war) and near to Llandudno (during the conflict).

Boot camp for girls
In the summer of 1978, at the age of 11, I spent what should have been my school holiday at a ‘boot camp’ for wayward girls. I’d been spanked before, of course – what child in 1970s Merseyside wasn’t? – but generally it was a few smacks on the seat of my knickers that left […]

My spanking history
Thank you for your website and all you do to preserve spanking history – I am a long-term reader and thought it was about time I contributed myself. Mum and dad smacked us right from when we were babies: a smack on our backside if we made too much fuss when being having our nappy […]
