Welcome to the world of John Benson. Here you will find the common theme of teen girls, sometimes bratty, sometimes rebellious, sometimes reflective, but always needy... and though they may initially fight against it, they need to be spanked so they can experience the feelings of shame that accompany being on the receiving end of corporal punishment. These scenarios are enacted in fictional, often futuristic dimensions embracing regimes of structure and discipline, places where all the bad girls are so deserving of wicked thrills and a good spanking.

In Strays, kind-hearted Fred takes pity on a young homeless girl called Amber. He picks her up in the storm and takes her home with him, feeds her, makes sure she's warm, and the next day buys her new clothes. After telling Amber's case worker that she's run away and is welcome to stay with him, he realizes he's becoming very fond of her - though if she's to stay longer, he doesn't want her to discover his spanking proclivities. Much to his surprise, Amber begs him to spank her, explaining that growing up, she had to be the grownup as her mom was a druggie. And now Amber needs to be the kid again, needing limits and strict discipline, and the certainty of being punished. It seems the perfect arrangement, and the bath brush is put to good use.
