Erotic spanking
Spank2.jpg
Erotic spanking is the practice of spanking another for the sexual gratification of either or both parties. Erotic spanking is generally regarded as a form of BDSM activity (sadomasochism in particular), although many spanking devotees do not regard it as such. Spanking can be carried out with the bare hands, gloves, a ruler, hairbrush, paddle, switch, belt, cane, crop, birch, martinet or whip; it is sometimes combined with sexual roleplaying and/or ageplay. It is often delivered on the bare buttocks, and sometimes the spankee is fully nude, for additional humiliation and arousal.
Positions for spanking include:
- over the knees (OTK) or across the lap
- laying face down on a bed
- hands on knees
- diaper position (genital exposure to enhance humiliation)
- wooden horse
- birching block
- bent under the arm of the spanker
Those interested in giving or receiving erotic spankings are sometimes known as spankophiles or spankos. Examples include the poet Algernon Swinburne and the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Many people with a sexual interest in spanking draw on historical corporal punishment techniques used in homes, schools, courts or prisons. However they are generally careful to distinguish their consensual sexual activities from their views of child-rearing, education and public policy. Punishment spankings and erotic spankings are sometimes hard to separate, see domestic discipline.
For straight men who like to be spanked, their spanking fetish is sometimes accompanied by a leg/feet and nylon fetish as well – but not always. Some men like women to wear a skirt, high heels, and nylons when they spank – and may involve them playing the part of a strict boss, aunt, wife or governess. When men spank women they often like them to dress up as schoolgirls – a popular fantasy scenario – or play the part of a nurse, maid, niece or secretary.

Spanking fetishism
Despite contrary notions, spanking fetishism can often be found with people who were never spanked as a child, often coming out later in life as repressed role playing/wish fulfillment.
These fetishes can take on many varieties. In the erotic fiction of this type, spanking is seen as natural as a reflex as sitting on a chair or making dinner. Other types include "spanking between friends", "parent-child spankings", "sibling spanking" and authoritarian school disciplines. The least personalized and least overtly erotic are usually the authoritarian school discipline stories and pictures, which are less popular in the United States, where there is little of this culture.
Playful non-erotic spanking

Sometimes spanking is done in a playful manner that is neither a form of punishment nor is it intended as an erotic act. A tradition that often begins with childhood and can contiune to adulthood, "birthday spanking" is most often associated with a birthday celebration during which sometimes a person whose birthday it is is spanked playfully, one time for each year of their life - and then some more "to grow on." It is not meant to hurt or humilate the spanked party. Often-times the act is also associated with sports participants who congratulatorily slap one another on the bottom.
