>>Note: Prior to posting this, I have edited the forum >>rules to make it clear that posters may discuss >><b>their own</i> sexuality as adults as it relates to >>any experiences they had as children with being >>spanked for discipline and punishment, so long as the >>other forum guidelines are followed. Again, to be >>clear, any description of sexual contact between any >>adult and any minor will NOT be tolerated, and the >>poster will be banned, and any poster claiming to be a >>parent who describes in detail how s/he spanks his/her >>current children will be banned, and their posts in >>this regard deleted.
