I know for me… feeling weird because of what interested me probably had a lot to do with shaping my personality. Who knows if that’s a healthier way to realize you’re a little different. You would have had no warnings, no idea that such a thing even existed and then you have this whole awakening. And to never seen it in cartoons, movies, comics, books… and then hit seventeen and pick up a romance novel and boom-spanking! It does make me wonder what it would be like to grow up without seeing your friends get spanked, or yourself because that’s also rare now. I think kink goes deeper than that and if you’re meant to be kinky it’s going to happen either way.

As the material with spankings gets rarer, the number of people who turn out to have a kinky side hasn’t decreased at all. I don’t think that being exposed to innocent punishment style media like that turns people kinky. And there are books that are still commonly read so eventually the kid will probably stumble over them, but it won’t be everywhere like it was for the older spankos. Sure, some of the older cartoons still show up on tv. Not until you are old enough to be looking at romance. They don’t really appear in modern books either. You don’t see spankings in kid’s shows or cartoons anymore. Those growing up now probably won’t get that thrill. Those who were spanked for punishment (The kinky community seems to be fairly evenly divided on those who were and those who weren’t.) certainly didn’t want it and tried to avoid it.īut reading it or watching it was a whole different thing. Kids who were kinky from a young age didn’t like being punished. That was a lot for a kid to feel, especially when you had no idea why you felt that way.

The closest I can come to what it felt like to stumble across a spanking would be giddy anxiousness mixed with eagerness and embarrassment. And the excitement isn’t the same kind that an adult feels. Of course, at that age you’re too young to know why something excites you. But in a book, you could read it over and over again- exciting! It was doubly exciting because there were spankings in the show too, which I had loved. It was a scene in the Little House books. When I found my first spanking in a book, I was probably about eight. I still remember being as young as five and absolutely fascinated with spankings in cartoons. Sometimes they were just brief mentions-other times they were fairly descriptive.įor those of us who developed an interest in spanking from a young age these scenes were gold mines. Everyone who is at least twenty-five probably remembers when spankings in kid’s books used to be common.
