If you're male, then no, you shouldn't be spanking teenage daughters. If the necessity to administer corporal punishment hasn't ended by the time a girl is 11 or 12, then you need to look into your parenting skills, rather than just assuming that she has a continuing "need" for corporal punishment. CP is meant to be a childhood control device that ought to morph into more verbal controls as a child matures. The risk of sexual factors entering in becomes too great with a daughter after that. Speaking for myself, having morphed from being a childhood disciplinary spankee to being an adult, erotic M/f female bottom, I cannot fully separate the discipline aspect of spanking from the erotic/sexual. However, in fairness I have to say that some people do seem to be able to separate them.

This might be different with a son, I don't know, but expect it would probably be the same.

I say this as a female who did not have a father, and who longed for one. A dad who would have loved me, protected me, and spanked me over his lap if and when I needed it. Of course, as he didn't exist, he was highly stylized in my mind. Regardless, I wouldn't have wanted him to physically discipline me after I had reached sexual maturity.

I was instead raised by my grandmother, who was 'old school' and who spanked me fequently as punishment until I was 12. That was quite long enough. She didn't need to have gone that far, as I wasn't a bad kid at all, but she had lost control of my mother and she wasn't about to lose control of me.
