As an 18 year old,high school senior in the mid-west in the late 60's, I received one dose of school corporal punishment. It left a life long impression.
I had punishment fantasies as an adolescent, and after my first experience with it, was a confirmed spanko. Now in my 50's paddling is a part of my life,and though there is some sexual arousal in anticipation, I'm paddled by my beautiful, strict wife for discipline. No whips and chains mind you, just clean-cut, middle-class, suburban paddling fun. My high school paddling was wearing only a jock-strap, with several witnesses and I STILL remember each of the 10 swats with her plywood board. Next fall, my freshman year at college, I joined a frat where naked paddlings were an almost daily fact of life for pledges. Though I'd have preferred female paddlers, I LIKED the PADDLE,and became the most disciplined freshman. Since graduation I've been paddle-punished in many ways by a lot of paddlers. Mostly I've had a regular disciplinarian who I'd meet for regular paddlings. For the last 3 years I've been married to a WONDERFUL wife, who LOVES being a strict disciplinarians. TOUGH domestic discipline is an important part of our marriage...and I wouldn't want it ANY other way. So...I guess my high-school bare-assed paddling had a PROFOUND impact on me!

Dear Tony,

Welcome to our Happy Circle!

We are always delighted to hear from those in the Colonies, particularly when they write about down-home, finger-lickin’ good, Texican style, butt-roastin’ paddle-paddling licks.

I just love your writing style. It is musical - with each burst of UPPER CASE representing a single SWAT.

Keep on a-postin’!

After I graduated from high school, I joined a fraternity my freshman year. Though only with 1 paddling under my belt, at 18 I was now a confirmed spanko. My fantasies were of female disciplinarians in institutional settings. But craving the paddle like I did, joining a frat back in 1970 was a natural. Tough, bare-ass paddlings were the rule for pledges and some even disciplined seniors. Needless to say I picked the one with the reputation for the harshest discipline. WOW!!!...even in my deepest fantasies did I imagine what it would be like. Pledges had to have their paddle with them at all times, ready for use. Pledges wore only a jock-strap at the house...NO exceptions! Pledges had to hand the paddle to any active member or who he DESIGNATED (girlfriend,sister) and bend over with legs spread, grabbing ankles. Three swats were applied. Believe me there were some HIGHLY skilled paddlers, both male and female,EAGER to lay some lumber to the bare butt cheeks. Active members were disciplined with a "ride on the horse", restrained to a paddling frame while a very tough paddler gives up to 10 swats. Yes...witnesses were present and actually cheered on the paddler. I took more than my share of rides. So for 4 years I was in spanko heaven. I met a girl in our sister sorority who the guys all said was a bitch with an attitude, when given the chance was a demon with her paddle(s). We started dating and the guys were right...she WAS a PURE bitch...and BOY could she blister the butt. The last 2 years of college I spent being strictly in a domestic discipline structure with Kim. She was very open about it and frequently paddled me with guests present. Just for fun she'd paddle me nude at big parties at her house with all she had. I greatly enjoyed my college days!!!

Tony; I pledged for Alpha in the late 70's and nothing like that took place. Pledges were paddled on hell night and I lost count of how many swats I got but there were no bare butt paddlings.I don't think things had changed much from the 60's to the 70's.Your story sounds like pure fabrication.

I never joined a frat/sorority myself, but my friends who have have told me that they differ widely from each other.
My understanding of fraternities is that each is a law unto itself, and so to me it is no surprise that Bob's frat experience was different from Tony's.
