I'm not sure what's hard to understand -- threads on
whether or not children should be spanked are discouraged
here. I think this is a good thing -- there's already
a newsgroup devoted to just that topic. A little
flamy, but it's a hot topic.
But stories about the spanking of children, sexual abuse
and torture of children *are* very much on-topic and
generally quite welcome here, or at least were last time
I checked. And amen. I know they aren't everyone's cup
of tea, but then, no story here is right for everyone.
Label it DebPorn or edgy or whatever -- if it says that
and M/f -- it'll be the first story I open.
For me, before I started reading ASS and then SSS, it
never occurred to me that anyone had spanking fantasies
about adults. Mine had always been about child spankings
and generally with me imagining being the child. Having
read Frued's essay "A Child is Being Beaten," I assumed
that was the case for most everyone who was into spanking.
Reading this thread has brought back the question to me,
why do I have fantasies (and generally prefer stories)
about children being spanked in an abusive way by their
parents?
For me, the most submissive, vulnerable and powerless I
can imagine anyone being is as a child. And so seeing myself
as a child is identifying with the submissive position
-- the most powerless I can imagine anyone being. The power
is abused then, sometimes in the name of love and discipline,
sometimes in the case of Swen, Debbie Ann or Leslie, just
because.
Or it could be that my spanking fantasies started when I
was so young (2 or 3) that by the time I was 12, they were
as complex as they were ever really going to get. I'm not
sure. What I'm sure of is that it doesn't make me a pedophile
and that what I read and write isn't kiddyporn. I don't
have children nor do I intend to (I tend to be more of a
pedophobe!) but I know I wouldn't abuse my kids -- cp is
something between adults RL and for children only in fiction.
I don't think everyone should like or even read stories about
child spanking, sexual abuse or whatever. But as Tasha Geller
wrote once, please don't interfer with my right to be a
sexually abused child as far as my fantasies go.
OTOH, if we want to start a thread on why we like kid spanking
stories, I think it would be a *huge* improvement over the
other one running.

The flame war was about someone posting a horribly obvious troll and
then getting off on the "war" it provoked.
As to the rest of your post:
For my part - and what a lovely part it is - I enjoy reading, and
writing about child spankings for a very simple reason: They take me to
an imaginary place, a place where life is simple: if you are naughty,
you get spanked. Many of us lead complicated lives, lives where we are
forced to justify our actions and take responsibility for their
consequences. Sometimes we need to reach deep into our fantasies to
allow us to gain absolution in whatever way we can. Surely it is no
coincidence that many people in positions of power and responsibility
have D/s fantasies
Funnily enough, as a fan of many of your stories, I've never read any
element of abuse into them, they just seem to remind me of a simpler
time. Most of your writings seem to contain a great deal of love.
I was first inspired to write here by Carolina Jim's tales, stories that
seemed to me to be full of love and discipline.
I don't believe that kids should ever be spanked IN REAL LIFE. I just
can't help getting that "squishy feeling" whenever I remember either
getting a spanking myself, or seeing another kid get spanked. Call it
what you will, analyse it if you must, but that's just who I am now and
that is just how I feel. I couldn't begin to count the number of posters
I've seen here who feel a great weight lifted from their shoulders when
they discover this NG and find others who feel the same as they do.
We have a kink and this is where we share it. My problem with Leslie
Morgan's post was not the substance of the post - she asked a question
and was given an emphatic answer, NO! - but the fact that her post was
such a pathetic troll.
So yanno what, I'm going to continue having my fantasies about childhood
spankings, safe in the knowledge that no child, nobody, is ever going to
be hurt by them. I will continue to write my stories because I LOVE
writing them and I'm gonna continue to read Mija's stuff cus she writes
a good yarn.
Cheers
James
Don't ask me. I mainly just come here to read the stories, occasionally
post a story of my own (I've got another one about Carly Campbell in the
final proofreading stage) and flirt with the sexy spanko chicks.

I have long involved fantasy about an isolated community where
girls are taught male dominance and are taught to associate
spanking with orgasm. The training starts when they are very
little girls and continues through adolescence. I won't go into
detail but most people here would probably find it to be a
twisted trip. It is my trip and I go wherever I please in
fantasies.

If your father's arousal while spanking you resulted in your child
spanking fetish, it may not be a bad thing that happened. Think how we
value our fetishes.
I was never hit and I have friends who were not. Some of those never
hit have a spanking fetish. I was born in forty eight but even thirty
years later I would see educated fathers and mothers giving children as
young as two a sharp smack every few minutes as unacceptable behavior
was exhibited. Even then it angered me but I never understood that the
proper course of action would have been to intercede.

I've often wondered over the past few years if that was one of the
reasons we were never spanked. I have this half-memory (I do not
remember if it is a memory or a remembered dream) of walking in on my
parents to find daddy spanking mummy..... Was that at least part of
the reason we were never spanked..... I mean we got the odd smack,
and my mother would use her belt to separate us when we got into a
fistfight, but I dont' remember one single incident of our father
smacking us.

>You got into fistfights? I'm impressed. :)
yep - me and my younger (by 2 years) sister. We were either best
friends or deadly enemies (and usually the latter :-)

why so?

yes..... which brings us back to the original question of whether
it's ok to spank your kids if you have a fetish for it....

Most people of my parent's generation don't talk about their sex lives
though.
(LOL! - it wasn't till the night before my wedding when I was three
months pregnant that my mother tried to tell me about the mechanics of
love-making :-)))

Well, call me paranoid, but if my dad had ritually spanked us, and I
later found out he was a spanko I would be convinced that he'd been
getting off on it....
