My mom spanked me from the time I was 5, but it was at age 8 that my awareness started. Mom and I were watching a documentary one evening about the disciplining of boys in South Africa, and there was a very brief scene of a boy about age 11 getting a bare bottom spanking from someone who appeared to be a police officer.

Mom had never spanked me bare, and I was extremely curious about the practice. Mom began discussion with me and explained the primary purpose was to make the spanking hurt more and that of course the buttocks and penis would be exposed. She was silent for a moment and then said it would actually do me more good to be spanked that way. Mom bared my bottom from that point forward, and while never was fond of the pain, I always had a tingle go up my spine when she bared my bottom.
