I was almost in the same situatation as you. All through my years in a religious junior college of humanities I was physically punished mostly by my Daddy with the strap on both hands in Dad's office or for the most serious offences by some good bare bottom spankings, That lasted until I left home at 22 for my graduate studies. Contrary to you it happened as often as it did in the last years of my secondary studies. I reckon thatI was not as mature and responsible as I thought I was but I believed that my parents would stop punishing me that way at 18.I was completely wrong. It didn't happen. I put up with it. I came to realize that at 18, I had the same rights as any had. However, the dynamics remained unchanged, do they not? A 18 boy as smart as he can be, is still living off his father's dime, and has spent his whole life answering to him. Turning the calendar does not change these facts. Therefore, if raised in a family that spanks, he then accept this, regardless of his age and his chagrin. I was the typical example of the university student who was raised very severely in his teens and who went astray in his twenies and could not control his passions when the guidance from mum and dad was not as strict as it was previously. I could not say that these corporal punishments were embarrassing for me neither humiliating because I was aware that most of the time I deserved them. I felt rather vulnerable in front of my dad and mum especially during the summer recess when I was wearing my very short summer shorts,for all this bare flesh available for them to be slapped or spanked. WhenI sat down in them, they were pratically up to my backside. I knew that my parents were aware of this too and would sometimes say things like: Do you really want me to strap or to slap these bare legs and this bottom of you. That was enough a deterrent for me from acting out. I believe that wearing shorts sometimes at the college level definitively encouraged my parents to spank me more often than usually when I was wearing long trousers. Finally, I have to tell you that a bare bottom spanking at 22 is as painful and hurt as much as at 11 years old. Please tell me about you. so much!
