Well, I've no idea why this thought process came about but I was thinking about a Venn Diagram showing a circle representing spankos and another representing nudists and thinking that those who fell into the overlap (pun intended) area could have quite a difficult time. Now, anyone who isn't a spanko will just think I'm nuts, but I'm sure fellow spankos have these bizarre thoughts all the time (please, reassure me that it's not just me!).
Anyway, what was weird was this afternoon I came across a new website I hadn't looked at before and came across this picture of two people who clearly fit into that overlap category of my diagram...

My word! Should I use that as an illustration for my maths lessons?
Oh my ! Too cute, James. Wonderfully cute.
Sun burned bottoms harmful...bottom burn from mommy, harmless !
I gotten fascinated by "outdoor spankings, in public" from an early age...especially because I never actually received them myself, which was very surprising, being born in 1959 to a family where corporal punishment was routine.
In our early 1960s childhoods, my lil' sister & me were constantly worried about getting a spanking in public by mom, mainly because she would always pull our knickers down (at home) & I did not want onlookers viewing my chubby alabaster-white botty...rapidly turning red. Public spankings for daughters in the malls, park, parking lots & the beach (!) were a fact of life for many.
Our mother was a staunch supporter of corporal punishment as a Christian & conservative, & as a traditional advocate of strict, traditional family values. But she did not care for chastising us in public - always in private at home, with the cane on our bare buttocks from age 8 ("the flexible Southern switch").
In contrast, I saw many friends in our Lil' Princess Gang (fellow Bible Class, Church & sports class girls from conservative families, in general) having their 1950s canary yellow dresses raised, their 1950s white cotton panties pulled down & their fairy-white botties skelped by their mommy in a quiet corner. This was just normal in Atlanta in the early 1960s. And at the beach this photo was typical James with strict, Southern families at leisure !
With my own two young daughters (born 1980s) it was the same. I sure gotten exasperated & wanted to tan their backsides a good'un in the mall. I was a typical strict, loving conservative mom & outdoor spankings were still common...but far less common than in the 1960s. A wave of PC was developing. I also worked in a big Corp & so discretion was often called for. So I had to contain my fury on occasions. Oh my !
On returning home with my girls, justice could be given calmly without quarter. In private there is no rush, & a lil' pair of cotton knickers (or two !!) could be duly taken down to knees for proper punishment on a bare seat (as was always the case for my girls) & with scolding & brief rituals used to effect.
And moreover for sure, I could access the "bottom smacker" from the cupboard - aka my trademark, much-feared, flexible, lil' rattan cane. I sure know from my childhood whippings & my daughters will ruefully verify today with nostalgia...that this cane was far more stingy on a bare botty than my poor hand. I think my girls would rather have gotten smacked back in the mall, already. Oh my !
So, no snowflakes on my watch. Always a good, salutary, harmless whooping gotten given by me. A mother's chastisement is fierce but kind, James. !
My girls are now in their 30s & are pro-spanking. Again, PC has increased & so domestic spankings in Georgia are generally in private now. And of course spankings are still common and free of taboo in the South & elsewhere compared to the UK/Europe. But I understand from my peers & friends that this photo would have gotten very familiar on the beach in France & UK back in the 1960s/70s !
Thanks & spanks & regards.
