Yeah, it's like as soon as you bring religion into it, spanking's a whole lot less fun.

I like to think that husbands commonly spanked their wives in the fifties, and that it was my mother and her bra-burning 1960's ways that, although achieving all that equality and women's lib stuff that's very important and appreciated, effectively ruined spanking for us and turned it into that big superiority issue that CDD types love and makes others decry it as anti-feminist. It's just spanking, for fuck's sake.
