My experience is almost identical to overnyne's. I remember seeing Our Gang, Tom & Jerry cartoons, etc when I was 4-5 and I knew spanking was 'something'. I also knew that it wasn't something I could say I liked to anyone else. I kept that info a secret until I got my first PC and found likeminded people really did exist. I'm on the non-sexual side of the spanking world, maybe because my fascination with being spanked started way before any sexual awakening. I've had a lot of experience since and hope to make some more friends here.
