       On Spanking: Ideals
       By: Jack Date: February 12, 2018, 4:07 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I was just wondering about something from two perspectives.  Do
       you have an ideal for spanking/spanking stories?
       There's not a certain look that appeals to me most - I love
       Hispanics, with their black hair, dark eyes, and rich skin tone,
       but I also like other ethnic groups, and I like blonds, and
       gingers, as much as brown hair, other shades of red, or plain
       black.  There are a few things I don't like (mostly skin tones
       that are either glossy or 'matte' for lack of a better term),
       and i prefer lean, but still not so skinny as to not have a
       rear.
       What really makes a difference to me is size/age.  With younger
       kids, you know they're going to break down and cry when they're
       getting spanked.  With older 'boys' like Liam or Zeke, neither
       of them is a full grown adult yet, but both of them are filling
       out and getting hairy.
       I can't tell you why certain things push my buttons, and while
       other things that are very similar can ruin my enjoyment.  What
       I can tell you is that I love a boy who's just over 5' - one who
       is approaching or in early adolescence.  One whose body is a
       mystery, and one who's still adjusting to it and probably pretty
       shy.  Also one who is growing, and probably proud of what he
       sees as his new maturity, and wants to 'take it like a man', but
       honestly isn't sure he'll be able to.
       When it comes to real life, I love boys this age - young enough
       to still act like boys, but old enough that they have some real
       maturity, and you can often talk to them in ways you can't talk
       to younger boys, who just don't have the depth of experience
       yet.  If you approach it right, these boys love to learn and
       enjoy listening to what you have to say.  Yet they also have
       their own experiences, and they have their own opinions, which
       are often well-formed and sometimes surprising.
       A story doesn't have to be about someone in this group to catch
       my interest, but I certainly do find these boys to be a plus.
       So what about you?  What things are most important to the
       characters you like to see spanked most?  Age, looks, behavior?
       Or does the boy not matter as much as something else?

       For me the most important thing is that it seems real, that it's
       described in a way that I can immerse myself in the story. I
       don't need a thorough physical description of the characters.
       Just a basic indication of what he looks like is fine, and my
       imagination will provide the rest. It's important that the
       character seems an individual, and not just a spanking "punch
       bag". The relationship between the characters or even the
       setting can do a lot to make it seem real, if it's well
       described. The psychological aspect is also important for me.
       How the character perceives and is affected by the spanking.
       I realize that what I say is vague, but there's really not a
       magic shortcut. It just has to be good.
       Then there's the hot factor. I prefer bare to not bare and some
       stories have an intense "spanky" feel that I enjoy.
       The age of the spanked is not a determining factor for me. 12 or
       13 is a good age, but I enjoy any age if it's well done.
       Adult spankees I don't enjoy so much, although in some cases I
       can enjoy it if the story is good.  I don't enjoy stories about
       consensual spankings as much as about real punishment spankings.
       Normally I prefer domestic to school, because the relationship
       between spanker and spankee can be too distant in school
       spankings, and the punishment too businesslike and impersonal. I
       prefer a more personal relationship.

       I have to think about this one.  It is extremely personal and
       opens up a vulnerability when answered honestly.  So I am typing
       it on my word program first and then copying it to the board
       once finished.
       For me age is not the determining factor in and of itself.  What
       draws me to a story and to real life is the stage of
       development.  My window is small.  It is the stage between first
       sensing self awareness and being self aware.  It happens in
       pre-puberty.  When the child begins to disappear and the
       teenager appears.  In my day that would have been between 11-14
       in most cases.  Of course there is both the early and late
       bloomers, that stretch the age range in some cases.  For late
       bloomers, as long as they still hold the boyhood appearance and
       attitude they can get to be older, but usually at some point
       even if puberty hasn’t happened they still become to old to be
       of interest.
       It is the attitude and personality which grabs me.  I like
       stories that are about the shy, innocent boy.  He is curious and
       yet timid.  He wants to experience the erotic part of life but
       is scared to do it.  I love embarrassing situations.  The more
       humiliated the character can become the greater I enjoy the
       story.  Which means I have to have emotions in my story.  I need
       to know what the boy is thinking and feeling.  I need to know
       what the spanker is thinking and feeling.
       I don’t need the smack, smack, smack in a story as much as I
       need the feelings the boy is experiencing during the smack,
       smack, smack.  If I can also get what the spanker is feeling
       during the smack, smack, smack, so much the better for my
       interest in the story.
       The boy's looks are not all that important to me.  I am going to
       imagine him as my mind takes over in the story anyway.  The
       author might describe the boy as five foot tall with  dark hair,
       dark eyes and slightly on the chubby side, and I will imagine
       him as four foot tall with red hair, green eyes and skinny.
       What I can’t do is change a sixteen year old hairy boy into an
       eleven year old smooth boy in my imagination.  It just doesn’t
       work because the way the story is written for a sixteen year old
       has a different feel than it does for an eleven year old.
       I prefer total nakedness during the spanking.  I prefer the boy
       to be embarrassed about being made to be naked.  I enjoy the
       vulnerability of being naked during a spanking.  Anyone could
       possibly see the boy naked.  If by chance someone does, then so
       much the better.
       The setting isn’t so much a concern for me.  Home, school,
       woods, store and etc.  It is how it happens that is important to
       me.  I prefer real life situations, or at least something I can
       feel like it is real.  That increases the humiliation factor.  I
       am okay with consensual play spankings.  Boys using spanking as
       a penalty for losing at a game and etc.
       The spanking cannot be brutal.  This is a carryover from my own
       childhood.  I detest stories using a cane, whip, strop, hose,
       and etc.  That is too much like torture for my taste.  I know on
       naval vessels boys were whipped.  I know slave boys were
       whipped.  I know boys in British schools were caned.  I know
       fathers have beaten their sons.  I don’t need to read stories
       about it though.
       Behavior.  I can’t stand brats, whiny boys, bullies or arrogant
       boys.  If the story is about them winning the day, I don’t want
       to read it.  If the story is about them getting what’s coming to
       them and they repent, then I could enjoy the story.
       My favorite character is going to be a pre-pubescent boy who is
       slim, short, cute, funny, shy, energetic, affectionate, and
       naked.  Then you embarrass the daylights out of him, and I will
       roll on the floor enjoying every minute of it.

       Personally, what I find most important is the spankee's
       cooperation. There is just no appeal for me in stories where the
       spanker has to wrestle a young offender into position, or
       forcefully yank down his pants. Instead, I find it much more
       enjoyable when the spankee accepts what is going to happen,
       undresses all by himself and takes up the position voluntarily.
       I also like it when the boy getting spanked takes his discipline
       like a man by staying as motionless as possible and keeping his
       vocal reactions to a minimum.
       Furthermore, I think the ideal spanking takes a while to
       deliver. Especially an OTK hand spanking should take several
       minutes, in my opinion. But I am in no way opposed to implements
       being used. All in all, I would say that the ideal spanking in
       my mind is a highly ritualised affaire. It also helps if the
       spankee is fully naked for his punishment.

       I never just accepted a spanking.  I hated them and didn't take

       Nope.  I tried to keep it hid.  I didn't like showing it off or

       Both the paddle and the strap were kept in the kitchen.  The

       our whippings.  Seldom in our bedrooms.

       Nope, stripped naked right there in the kitchen or living room
       and whipped, as I screamed and begged.  Then sent to corner
       naked.
       [quote]
       [list][li]cooperate with their spankings and do what I tell them

       Absolutely not.  I fought it with every bit of strength I had.
       My mom and dad were both strong, because I pulled and tugged to
       get free of them every minute the whipping went on.

       I was crying before the first whack.  I begged and pleaded even
       before it started and all through it as long as I still had the
       breath to beg.

       [list][li]want to be hugged after a spanking so they can feel

       I wanted to be hugged, but it never happened.  I can't remember
       anyone hugging me after a spanking.  I was spanked by both
       parents, grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, Older cousins, friends
       parents, teachers, principals and coaches, lifeguards and a few
       times by strangers (neighbors).  No one ever hugged me
       afterward.  I was told I got what I deserved.  No compassion was
       ever showed.  That was being weak and adults didn't want to look
       weak in front of kids.
       [quote]
       [list][li]get over their spankings quickly without sulking or

       Heavens no!  I hold grudges.  I was 33 years old before I
       forgave my father of how he treated me as a boy.  So no,  I was
       resentful and held grudges.
       So Adric,
       I wouldn't do well in your list of likes.  It wouldn't be a
       spanking story you would want to read.

       I think the main thing is realistic and unless depicting
       abuse(something , age appropriate, I think anything in the 8-16
       group as its not easy to verbalise younger kis feelings in any
       inteesting way without making them seem older than they are. At
       16 on, I dont know but while I realise Jack has done it Im not
       sure it isnt too old, the kids too big etc other than for school
       type swats/strokes. There are merits at most ages as spankees
       but I think the 10 to 13 group the best with their ability to be
       both innocent and far too knowlegeable for their own good at
       times! and their physical capability to take a spanking even if
       not stoically. Hair colour has never been an issue

       I was just wondering about something from two perspectives.  Do
       you have an ideal for spanking/spanking stories?
       .....
       So what about you?  What things are most important to the
       characters you like to see spanked most?  Age, looks, behavior?
       Or does the boy not matter as much as something else?[/quote]
       Oh, dear gods, YES! :o I am 110% one picky S.O.B. -- as
       particular as the day is long!  :D More to the point, one might
       even argue that the primary reason I started writing for MMSA
       was precisely to create stories that catered to my own personal,
       idiosyncratic standards and preferences...
       [quote]There's not a certain look that appeals to me most I love
       Hispanics, with their black hair, dark eyes, and rich skin tone,
       but I also like other ethnic groups...[/quote]
       The boys I personally write about tend to be Caucasian by
       default, just as a matter of unthinking habit, because I myself
       am also a white male.  However, I frequently write about
       Latino/Hispanic boys, as well, and I would also love to see (and
       write) more stories about Middle Eastern and South Asian boys,
       as well! Also, here while back, I read this one story that I
       absolutely loved, that was set in China with a 13yo boy getting
       spanked... :)
       [quote]I prefer lean, but still not so skinny as to not have a
       rear.[/quote]
       When the boy in question does happen to be lean/fit, I do indeed
       want him to have a bit of "heft" to his bottom, regardless! :D
       Otherwise, what's the fun of a spanking, if there's no "butt
       meat" to whack? [emoji28] However, as some people here may
       already know, I have very strong and vocal appreciation of boys
       on the "heavier" end of the spectrum -- not so far as to be
       obese, but nonetheless an undeniable affinity for those who may
       be characterized as "overweight," "chubby," and my two personal
       favorites: "stocky" and "husky" [emoji7] Basically, enough
       "padding for the paddling" -- LOL!
       In my own writing, in fact, I am hugely fond of specifically
       including combinations and juxtapositions of varying body types
       amongst my boy characters;
       [quote]What really makes a difference to me is size/age.
       <-snip-> What I can tell you is that I love a boy who's just
       over 5' - one who is approaching or in early adolescence.  One
       whose body is a mystery, and one who's still adjusting to it and
       probably pretty shy.  Also one who is growing, and probably
       proud of what he sees as his new maturity...[/quote]
       One of my favorite ages to write about is thirteen,
       specifically, as opposed to both preteens and ages 14-plus. Just
       because that particular age tends to conjure up, in my mind,
       certain mental images and associations that uniquely and
       powerfully capture my emotions and imagination! [emoji4] In
       light of that, I am actually working on a future MMSA submission
       that is more of an essay, musing at length about boys at age 13
       -- though with a spank story incorporated into it, even if that
       part only occurred to me later in the writing process. But to
       elaborate further, since others expressed themselves in "list"
       form for this thread, then I guess I shall do the same...
       [list type=lower-alpha]
       [li]Age Range: Strong preference for ages 11-13 because they've
       reached a certain level of mental/emotional maturity, along with
       lots of potential to be "precocious" in their inclinations,
       while still being so wonderfully youthful and boyish, at the
       same time! [emoji738] In particular, this part rings especially
       true for me...
       [quote author=Zyngaru link=topic=395.msg3675#msg3675
       date=1518455983]
       For me age is not the determining factor in and of itself.  What
       draws me to a story and to real life is the stage of
       development.  My window is small.  It is the stage between first
       sensing self awareness and being self aware.  It happens in
       pre-puberty.
       [/quote]
       ...though I diverge from my colleague here in one fundamental
       respect: My "range" extends a bit further out, to include
       beginning puberty, as well, when those initial changes have only
       just begun to make themselves known. Not too surprising, of
       course, considering my aforementioned affinity for age thirteen!
       ;)
       [hr]
       [/li]
       [li]Domestic/Family: Almost always "Dad/son," though with
       "brothers" being a very significant second! In this one, I am
       actually quite picky in one specific way: Bio-fathers
       exclusively (i.e., exclusive of "step," adoptive, foster, etc.),
       with the same preferences for "brother" scenarios, even to the
       point of de-emphasizing "half brothers" -- which I fully and
       readily admit is not remotely sensible or rational, in all
       fairness! :D That said, the previous applies mostly to my
       writing, and I am not unwilling to give deviations a chance, if
       other buttons of mine are effectively pressed...
       [hr][/li]
       [li](Un)Dress: In general, my feelings on this are more or less
       in line with Z's preferences:
       [quote author=Zyngaru link=topic=395.msg3675#msg3675
       date=1518455983]
       I prefer total nakedness during the spanking.  I prefer the boy
       to be embarrassed about being made to be naked.  I enjoy the
       vulnerability of being naked during a spanking.  Anyone could
       possibly see the boy naked.  If by chance someone does, then so
       much the better.
       [/quote]
       Or as I'm so fond of saying, though in a 100% "tongue-in-cheek"
       sentiment, "Bare-bottom only = Overdressed" [emoji13] However,
       there are the occasional variations that I undeniably find very
       appealing, such as...
       [list]
       [li]Naked except for socks and shoes -- like, after a fully-nude
       spanking, make Junior put on his footwear, plus some sunblock,
       and then send him outside to do some yard work in the front
       yard! LOL[/li]
       [li]Specialty clothing designed to cover much of the body while
       strategically exposing private areas below the waist, such as
       wrestling singlet or "surf suit" with an open front and back!

       [hr][/li]
       [li]Positions:
       [list]
       [li]The traditional ones: OTK, across Dad's lap, bent over some
       furniture, up against the wall, facedown and prone on a couch or
       bed, and "diaper position"[/li]
       [li]Some "unorthodox" options: Standing upright (facing forward
       + hands-on-head), suspended from ceiling by wrists, other use of
       restraints/bondage, "doggy-style" [emoji33], and...all the other
       kinds of crazy nonsense that emerge from my demented
       imagination!  ;)[/li]
       [/list]
       [hr][/li]
       [li]Implements: I tend to be open-minded to most implements,
       depending on my mood/headspace at the time, so it'd actually be
       shorter to list those I tend not to go for: Slipper or other
       shoe, switch (though I often like canes, go figure!), and
       ummmm...carpet beater! ;D That said, some of my favorites:
       [list]
       [li]The good, old-fashioned hand -- right on the boy's naughty
       bare bottom![/li]
       [li]Paddle and hairbrush, for surface area[/li]
       [li]Belt, strap, and...tawse![/li]
       [/list][hr][/li]
       [li]Punishment Targets: In terms of MMSA content tags, I'm a
       huge fan of the so-called "non-buttock" areas -- primarily:
       [list]
       [li]Across the shoulders and upper back -- such as a flogging or
       back-belting, for example?[/li]
       [li]Right on those sensitive [spoiler]pecker +
       balls![/spoiler][/li]
       [li]Finally: [spoiler]In-between the cheeks, as well as directly
       upon or inside the bottom-hole, too![/spoiler][/li]
       [/list][hr][/li]
       [li]Setting: Inside a bedroom, if I want it to be a more close
       and intimate affair, but in the living room, in most cases, so
       the whole family can enjoy the show -- often including mothers
       and sisters, naturally -- or sometimes, the performance will
       even migrate outdoors, to make it more of a "community event,"
       like a block party or something. Finally, if I want a really big
       audience, then various indoor and outdoor public settings are
       just what the doctor ordered![hr][/li]
       [li]Consent vs. Non-cons.: Depending on the story, as well as
       whatever mood and tone I am seeking to accomplish, it can range
       anywhere from "enthusiastically consensual" to "forcefully
       imposed," [hr][/li]
       [li]Spanker Motivation: Can be emphatically lecherous, strict
       and harsh, firm but loving, sadistic and mean-spirited, and
       various combinations of the previous[hr][/li]
       [li]Spankee Demeanor: Fun and playful, humorous and
       good-natured, horny and flirtatious, warm and loving, and once
       again, various degrees of "sadistic."[hr][/li]
       [li]Structure/Formality: For me, there's just about no such
       thing as too much protocol or procedure, and I have a massive
       kink/fetish for rituals and ceremonies, as well as power
       hierarchies and strictly-defined relationship
       structures![hr][/li]
       [li]Realism: Me, realistic? Contraire, mon freire! Remember
       exactly who you're talking to here...[hr][/li]
       [li]Sexuality/Eroticism: Despite taking pride in my writing and
       overall "story-craft," ultimately my main goals is (and shall
       always be) to help the reader "get off," so to speak, regardless
       of gender. Therefore, at the very least, the story is almost
       always intended to be sexual and/or erotic "for the reader"
       themselves; whether that's also the case[hr][/li]
       [li]Embarrassment/Humiliation: See everything Zyngaru said, of
       course, but it's also in my very pen-name itself: "Humbled Bare
       Boy" -- each word part of the unified whole, ya know?[hr][/li]
       [li]Extremity: Anything I write is all but guaranteed to be at
       least a little bit "edgy," and I'm a huge fan of "pushing the
       envelope" and flouting all manner of culturally-ubiquitous
       taboos; so much so, in fact, that I almost take it as a point of
       pride if I can manage to leave a reader shocked and scandalized
       -- LOL![hr][/li]

       [quote author=Zyngaru link=topic=395.msg3675#msg3675
       date=1518455983]It is the attitude and personality which grabs
       me.  I like stories that are about the shy, innocent boy.  He is
       curious and yet timid.  He wants to experience the erotic part
       of life but is scared to do it.  I love embarrassing situations.
       The more humiliated the character can become the greater I
       enjoy the story.  Which means I have to have emotions in my
       story.  I need to know what the boy is thinking and feeling.  I
       need to know what the spanker is thinking and feeling.[/quote]
       Yes, Zyngaru, this is why you and I get along so very well
       together, am I right? All of the above elements, plus a whole
       lot more besides, uniting us even despite our obvious
       divergences! I am reminded of my longest story
  HTML https://malespank.net/viewStory.php?id=49948
       -- size @ 160K,
       written for the "Holidays 2021" collab -- and a major reason for
       that was my inability to resist going off on extended verbose
       tangents of prose, painstakingly exploring the psychological and
       emotional intricacies of various characters, especially the
       primary boy protagonist Brendan. Actually -- upon arriving at
       the story's, ummmm, climax -- I even spent an entire 1765 words
       JUST describing the "undressing process" itself, in most detail
       possible: Physical, visual, physiological, and certainly
       emotional! That 160K was, naturally, a ton of work to execute
       and finalize, but Pixote and Zyngaru's sweet and supportive
       praise made EVERY BIT of that worth my while...
       [quote author=Zyngaru link=topic=395.msg3675#msg3675
       date=1518455983]Behavior.  I can’t stand brats, whiny boys,
       bullies or arrogant boys.  If the story is about them winning
       the day, I don’t want to read it.  If the story is about them
       getting what’s coming to them and they repent, then I could
       enjoy the story.[/quote]
       The perfect boy personality, for me, is a juxtaposition of two
       ideals:
       [list type=upper-alpha]
       [li]Innocent and Vulnerable: Shy, timid, naive, inexperienced,
       awkward, self-conscious, and very bashful/modest about his body,
       as well as other anatomical and carnal matters![/li]
       [li]Curious and Precocious: All those unfamiliar new feelings --
       confusing and a little scary, yet also tempting and exciting --
       occasioned by the onset of boyhood puberty, yet foisted by
       nature and biology upon the mind and heart of a boy who might
       still be playing with action figures and watching Saturday
       morning cartoons! So, so very much fertile fantasy potential and
       creative fodder...[/li]
       [/list]
       [quote author=Adric link=topic=395.msg4120#msg4120
       date=1519925932]
       My boys ...
       [list type=circle]
       [li]7. (w/ caveats) go to their rooms at bedtime, strip naked
       below the waist, and wait for me with their noses in a
       corner***[/li]
       [li]8. cooperate with their spankings and do what I tell them to
       do.[/li]
       [li]9. don't try to impress me with how brave they are.  I know
       it hurts and they shouldn't pretend it doesn't.[/li]
       [li]10. cry freely when they feel like it but they don't beg me
       to stop.[/li]
       [li]11. want to be hugged after a spanking so they can feel that
       everything is okay again.[/li]
       [li]12. get over their spankings quickly without sulking or
       resentment.[/li]
       [/list]
       [/quote]
       These elements from the second half of Adric's list, items 7-12
       from above, are the ones that most resonated with me; certainly
       I like the boy to be not simply cooperative, but even more than
       that, submissive and obedient in his behavior and demeanor alike
       -- adopting a persona of devotion and adoration, almost even
       subservient, towards his father -- with an element of surrender
       to the highly unequal power dynamic. (Not just fathers, but also
       older brothers and uncles, or whoever else is administering
       punishments and asserting authority, really!) My aesthetic
       philosophy for boy spankee characters, both physically and
       emotionally, is best stated thus: "I don't want to be
       'impressed' by him!" Neither in terms of "size" nor on the level
       of bravado and/or stoicism; squirm and jerk and cry, as much as
       necessary, yet without rebellion or disobedience, and there can
       be warm and loving hugs, cuddles, comfort, etc. afterwards!
       (Plus another kind of "happy ending," if I should happen to see
       fit...)
