If I may....

If the sites that are your favorite do not mix sex and spanking/BDSM, and just have one or the other, then you should be ok.

I used to work for "Bethany" from Bethany's Woodshed (and still have novellas for sale there) and there was a hub-bub a few years ago regarding what "violent pornography" is in the legal sense when she was in the process of starting to make spanking movies.

It is the wedding of the two -- "violence" and "sex" that fits in that definition.Both have to be present in the picture/film that is being viewed. While many see a spanking fetish as "sexual" in the vanilla world, if you are just performing the act of spanking in the pics, or in a film, with no overt sexualization, then it shouldn't fall under "violent pornography".

If you can get a copy of the law and read it, it should tell you exactly what it is.
