Once at a fetish market I got talking to a young woman in her early 20s who said she was paid for her work in ‘spanks.’ As it turned out she had a completely different idea about what constituted a spank than many of us. I later saw her strapped to a cross of St Andrew collecting her wages in a room full of strangers; she appeared to be in her element. At one point during our conversation she even stood up to reach for something to show me and as she turned around and bent over I was somewhat disconcerted to see that she had a no back to her skirt and had a bare bottom.
Now there are many other women, I venture to say most in fact, whilst not be averse to a spanking or two, see it as very much a private affair. However, for others, the embarrassment factor can sometimes play an important part. This is often the case where actual punishment is involved.
Here are few comments culled from various places to illustrate this point.
Julie K says, “My boyfriend and I having spanking in our relationship and it is usually just a bit of fun. But I decided early on that sometimes I need a proper spanking as punishment. To mark a difference between the fun bits and my punishments my man incorporates a little bit of embarrassment into the proceedings. This can take the form of corner time or adding a public element to a spanking, like letting certain friends know when it is about to or has just happened.”
A public element to a spanking is a high risk venture but is more common than one might think. Several young women in their 20s have commented here that they have public corner time, some with bottoms fully bare.
In Lesbos Lives Cassie writes: “When Ellen said that she was going to spank me for real whenever I deserved it I was secretly thrilled. But I had no idea what was to follow. I was 28 back then and living with a woman 12 years my senior who was my lover, mentor and big sister all rolled into one.”
“She had absolutely no discretion at all and even the old lady in the apartment below knew I had a curfew and was subjected to routine punishment. She would insist on such remarks as, ‘oh late today dearie,’ and ‘you’ll be for it now,’ just to let me know she knew and approved.”
“Once Ellen realised our neighbour was more amused than shocked she decided that I would not only be spanked but my corner time would become more public. Sometimes I was put partially nude on the landing or in the stairwell. I could have died on such occasions, but I must admit, it all added to the thrill.”
Louise is a 22-year-old college girl still living at home as does her 20-year-old sister. She commented, “We are still subject to spanking no matter who is around. Although any guys might not actually see the spanking, they will hear it and often see us standing in the corner afterwards. We are not allowed the lower parts to clothing at such times, so I always wear long sweaters or shirts to cover myself. But sometimes we have to put our hands on our heads so I guess we oftentimes get seen from the back if not the front.”
“Strangely it is worse when there are just other women around like friends or cousins as they get to see the spanking and the fuss we make and everything really. But it is not just that. I think there is sometimes a bit of excitement in the shame when a boy knows you are spanked.”
For the most part public humiliation is usually confined to fantasy rather than reality, although I suspect that many women are thrilled at the idea of it. Sometimes it is enough just to receive a threat. How often has a man said to his girl, “If you don’t behave I’ll take down your knickers here in front of everybody and give you a good spanking,” only to see her turn into a quivering and simpering bundle of girlishness?
