The Science of Spanking
What is it that people like about being spanked? It's not just that it hurts, right?
My students always say that it's the attention to detail, but I can't imagine that anyone else goes to the trouble of using only hand-carved Honduran mahogany paddles and natural-boar-bristle hairbrushes.
Pain is a factor, as is pleasure, but there's no one word to accurately describe the appeal of the erotic spanking. "I think it has more to do with the delightful sting and the delightful warmth and the delightful vibrations that it sends through the whole region," says Gloria Brame, Ph.D. and coauthor of Different Loving: the World of Sexual Dominance & Submission. Like I said, the only word to accurately describe it is delightful. For one thing, the region favored by the modern spankhound — the Lower Ass Valley just north of the Upper Thigh Province — is a tender zone that, when smacked just right, rouses the neighboring genitals in both men and women. And of course there's the humiliation aspect, which we all need in order to feel loved. But beyond that, you could say that spanking is simply about people. "Me, basically, it's just kind of the intimacy," says KC Spanks Club founder Rich Spankman (of the East Hampton Spankmans), "but that's not a term I really want to use either, because it implies sexuality and that's not what I'm looking for." Maybe delightful? "Friendly. Like a friend... more like a friend." The bottom line for spanking is that there is no bottom line, except the bottom line, which is so infuriating, it just makes you want to put the whole thing over your knee and give it a good, swift slap.
