Jer, I appreciated your comments. It's reassuring to know that I was not the only baby boomer who fantasized about getting a belt whipping by those oh-so-masculine cowboys portrayed in the adult TV westerns.

As to which Western actors I included in my post, I must confess to being somewhat arbitrary. I didn't intend my post to be all-inclusive, but only to be "representative". I limited myself to those actors I found sexually attractive and who I could envision as a father figure or an authority figure.

I excluded those actors who did not wear a standard garrison belt (since my post was about garrison belts). This included:

(1) James Arness (as Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke")
(2) Robert Fuller (as Jess Harper in "Laramie" and guest appearances in countless other TV Western series).
(3) Chuck Connors (as Lucas McCain in "The Rifleman"), although I thought he made the ideal Western father figure. I could easily envision him punishing his young son Mark (or me) with his belt, although I don't recall any episode in that series where he actually did so.

I had to exclude some Western actors because I couldn't find a satisfactory photo of them wearing their garrison belt. One example of this was Gene Hackman (in the movie "Unforgiven"). While I don't think of Hackman as particularly attractive, nor do I see him as a father figure, I can't think of any actor who better portrays the archetypal sadist. The only photo I could find of him wearing a garrison belt was too small and poorly exposed. And I could not find a photo of him wielding the bullwhip he used in "Unforgiven".

As to my failure to include Lorne Greene (as Ben Cartwright on "Bonanza), I wasn't particularly attracted to him, for whatever reason, and I had never envisioned him as a parental disciplinarian.

Regarding your allusion to the difference between imagining getting a belt whipping and actually experiencing one, I am fully sympathetic. You might want to check out 2 of my non-fiction posts titled "The Most Painful Whipping I Ever Received" and "Getting the Belt" to see 2 takes on how I've responded to a real belt whipping. They are both located in this forum's archives, which are accessible from the top and bottom of the screen on the right-hand side.
