I had a problem linking to one of the photos in my "photo essay". It was photo #12 titled "Rory Calhoun in The Red Sundown". I create all my posts using Yahoo's Email, and I test all my photo links in that environment. The link to photo #12 worked okay when I tested it in that environment (as did the other 18 photo links in that essay). But when I finally posted the essay to VoyForums and retested all the photo links, I was dismayed to discover that the link to photo #12 now displayed the wrong photo. The intended photo showed Rory Calhoun wearing a garrison belt with the buckle to the side, but what shows up instead appears to be a French movie poster of The Magnificent Seven. Does anyone know how I can reliably test my photo links before I actually post them on VoyForums?

Stan, thanks for those photos and the info. As a baby boomer myself I remember thinking what a blistering those western actors -- though I wasn't thinking of the actors but the characters they player -- could put on my bare pre-teen or teenaged butt. As much as I enjoyed imagining it I doubt if I would have enjoyed it quite so much. One character (actor) you left out that I imagined being soundly spanked by with his belt was Loren Greene (Ben Cartwright) from Bonanza. He seemed to be a great father figure, and did spank one of their visitors in one episode. My father and mother were both around but neither ever really gave my bare bottom the spanking I craved.

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.
