How Spanking Affected You

[Victoria Wood]

Always an interesting topic! I was never spanked as a child, except one time when my mother smacked my leg one time. I also remember her smacking my brother's leg three times. And she threatened me several of times, once with a hairbrush, once with a switch, once "in front of everyone." But she didn't believe in it and neither did my father.

Once I got in trouble in highschool. I always wonder if I avoided the paddle b/c my parents told them not to spank me. I wondered if my dad would finally take his belt to me, but of course he didn't.

I have been obsessed with spanking since my earliest memories at age 3. My interests are almost identical to those of a friend of mine who was severely spanked at home. I tend to think it's hardwired somehow.

I also want to mention that I turned out "just fine." I'm hard-working, thoughtful, self-disciplined, responsible, successful, etc.
