Apologies for the delayed reply.

I was reminded that I was loved on a regular basis. In the context of a spanking thought, this idea came through both during the spanking and in the post-spanking “conference” for lack of a better term.

My mother liked to scold during the spanking, and she would include your standard tired phrases such as “this is for your own good” and “this hurts me more than it hurts you.” I suppose these could be considered expressions of love.

After a spanking, she would remind me that she spanked because she loved me, that it was an important part of growing up.

As far as cooperation, she had both spiritual and practical explanations for it. Spiritually, she would remind me to honor my mother and that I needed to accept whatever punishment she decided, and not accepting was akin to rejecting the authority of God. A scary thought for a young boy. On the practical side, she would claim she didn’t want me to try and cover my rear with my hands so that she didn’t accidentally hit my hand.

I agree with your assertion that reaching back is a natural reaction. I would try with all my might to not reach back, but eventually there came a point where the burn became too much and I would block to give myself just a moment of relief. In all fairness to myself, I was able to avoid reaching back as I got older.

I count myself lucky that I was only ever spanked by hand (by her, anyway, I did get paddled in school). I was threatened with the belt and the switch but never experienced either, to the best of recollection. I don’t know what exactly would have happened if I had hidden an implement, but I can confidently say it would not have ended well for me.

I hope this provides a better idea of my experiences. I admit these thoughts are difficult to put into words.
