I've always been interested in reading about spanking - my earliest memory of a "spanking story" was in a children's book that I must have read at the age of seven or eight - it was about cavemen twins (one of a series of books set in different historical periods all featuring twin children as the protagonists) who got switched with a branch in one chapter. I didn't know what intrigued me about this at the time - I certainly didn't connect it with being punished at school (tawsed on the hands - back then it was considered acceptable to use a leather belt on children as young as five in ways that would have led to a conviction for assault if they'd done the same thing to an adult). My interest in spanking strengthened with puberty and I've been reading, looking at pictures and watching videos about it ever since. No real-life experiences yet, but I haven't given up hope...
