Hi pagandad, whilst both where and when I grew up there was no specific requirement to be nude when being spanked, attitudes to nudity were a lot more relaxed back then. When very young when swimming in a river/creek,lake, swimming pool whether private or communal or on a beach most parents in those days would have no problem with children being completely naked! As we got older, for the most part,when boys and girls were together attitudes toward nakedness were not quite so relaxed when males and females mixed together. Though both male and female teenagers would often go 'skinny dipping'. Parental attitudes toward this varied some would be appalled, others uncomfortable about it and many would be fairly and even very relaxed about such escapades. I knew families who were naturists and had no problems at all with nudity. When groups of older boys swam naked and there were no girls about few people had any problem with this! Although in many public communal swimming pools there were rules! Similarly a group of teenage girls swimming naked together would amongst the majority of adults arouse little if any outrage!

With regard to nudity and spanking, attitudes were even more relaxed! Whilst some parents/adults might take some measures to protect a kid/teenager's modesty most in my recollections considered any embarrassment part of the punishment. Practicality also played a part here as well! Spankings when I was growing up back in the 50s and 60s were invariably bare bottom ones for both kids and teenagers and boys and girls alike! When placed over a knee(s) and/or lap it was extremely difficult if not nigh on impossible to protect a youngster's modesty as they writhed around and bounced up and down in reply to the searing, stinging, painful spanks landing on their exposed and bare buttocks! This frantic animation exposed both female and male genetalia in the process; it could not but do so! Also, as mentioned above the humiliation and embarrassment was seen as a useful and additional punishment to accompany the spanking itself! Parents and other authority figures who might have not been altogether comfortable with teenage girls and boys in other circumstances being in a state of undress or semi-undress were not in the least bothered with them prancing around the room naked or semi-naked as they performed the 'spanky dance'! This was all part of the post-spanking ritual which testified to the spanking's effectiveness and also provided some real entertainment! Similarly the corner time which often followed a spanking and would display a kid/teenagers punished backside to anybody present was almost universally seen as another effective and amusing and entertaining post spanking ritual.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that back in the 50s, 60s,70s and early to mid 80s attitudes to nudity, with respect to both spanking and life in general were a lot more relaxed than in more recent times! In my opinion anyway!
