Adult Disciplinary Spanking

Do some research on Domestic Discipline relationships and you’ll get some insight

If, in lieu of jail time, adults knew that they were going to be whipped publicly (the amount of lashes to be prescribed by a judge and the law) for their crimes...I suspect adults, like kids, would toe the line and stop doing stupid things.

But as for one adult deciding another needs punishment and the other wants the punishment, that is sadomasochism and a Dom/Sub relationship that is very intellectually sexual.

We can explore whether it is altruistic. I believe it can be provided it is genuinely intended to benefit the recipient. It will depend in part on whether being "altruistic" requires an act to be unpleasant for the actor.

I , at the request of several ladies aged 55-75 do spank them , up to a level of intensity agreed in advance. This is not sexual or punishment, but giving a release from tension, guilt , stress or cathartic. Yes, there can be some effects, many confuse with sexual arousal. True spanking often causes involuntary arousal as the body potects against the pain of a well delivered and structured spanking. But this is a sensual feeling and a personal one. For example me spanking a 66 year old on her bare bottom, she often gets wet between her legs leaving a damp patch on my trousered thigh. This does not signal she fancies or is turned on by me, jusy a sensual reaction.

Several women have told me that they find spanking much more effective than taking HRT. They do not really enjoy having their bottom smacked but relish the after effects

It starts as sexual energy, but can be converted into other thoughts.
