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 Fumbling in the Dark, After Robyn's parents are killed in a car crash, Robyn chooses to go stay with her Aunt Jen, who is young and pretty but not used to dealing with teenage girls. Robyn settles down well but asks Jen to spank her when she's been bad, and then tries to bully her into doing so. They eventually agree Jen will enforce the rules Robyn has set up for herself, but only if Jen can punish her for breaking the rules she sets for Robyn. It all sounds perfect to Robyn, until she forgets to clean up her room again. Out comes Jen's big hairbrush to mark Robyn's thighs.
