Hi, Jon...c'mon in...right through the living room here...yes, this is my study. It's nice, isn't it? Sit down! Make yourself comfortable!
What, Jon? Oh, that's the strap I use when I spank the boys. You've never seen a strap? Yes, it's a good one...my dad used that strap on me all through my teen years, and now I have it. I keep it hanging here in the study, as a reminder to all three boys.
Okay, I'll tell you...it's kinda personal, and kind of intimate, and I wouldn't want it to get around, Jon...but since we work out together, and our boys are friends, I'll discuss that with you very generally, if it helps.
Yes, I do use corporal punishment when necessary. You too? I believe that what worked for me when I was growing up works for my boys, so I apply that kind of discipline sparingly, but I certainly do apply it when I have to.
How? Well, bare bottom always. A spanking, to be effective, has to include a lot of embarrassment, and I make sure that's what happens. Well, for example:
A couple of weeks ago, I had to give Steven a spanking...you remember I told you in the gym how he had taken my car, and smoked in it? I mean, the kid's sixteen. What's he doing smoking, and in my car? Of course, I didn't tell you how I dealt with it, but I will, I guess.
Well, I gave him a very severe spanking, Jon. I don't know how you spank, but I sent him to his room, and told him to take his clothes off. A few minutes later I went up, and put him over my knee, and spanked his bare bottom till he cried.
What? Oh, just my hand at that point, but I can give a very hard spanking with just my hand, believe me. After he was crying, and his bottom was hot and red, I took him naked downstairs right to this room, and had him take the strap off the wall, and carry it back upstairs to his room. He was one embarrassed sixteen-year-old, I can tell you, especially walking, naked, with his hot sore bottom, in front of Shawn and Scott...they were sitting in the living room, watching tv. I'm sure they had a good look at their older brother...he was quite a sight, sniffling, face as red as his behind, trying to cover his penis with the strap as he walked by them!
Oh sure, you can hold it...here. Feels good, doesn't it? It fits in a man's hand very nicely, and the leather is very business-like...that strap speaks to a young man through his bare bottom, for sure. What do you use? Ah...the paddle. I'm sure it works fine!
So, not to bore you, or anything, I finished his spanking with this strap, and it did its job, Jon...the sight of it is painful enough, but I use it on the thighs, the bottom, and a few inside the crack, too, where it's real tender. Yep.
Well, yeah, I hope it IS embarrassing for them to have to expose their private parts for the spanking. A lot if it is about embarrassment. When the underpants come off, Jon, the boy who is being spanked is almost always in tears already! That's how I want it...I spank seldom enough that I want to make the whole unpleasant experience to be a memorable event.
I'm not sure why it's two inches wide, in fact I'm not sure where my dad even got it. You notice it says "Strong Boy" on the one side there...it was made for spanking. My dad made me make those three tails at the end once...he made me cut it like that before a particularly memorable spanking, to let me know he was going to apply the strap inside my crack. That was the first time I remember hollering with both fear and pain. It did me good, I tell you.
Oh no. The strap is too intense to use before, say, well...puberty. I just used my hand on all three boys until the age of thirteen. Oh, bare bottom, of course, but not the strap until then. So Steven's had three and a half years now to think about it, and the twins have had two years...no, I don't have to spank too often, that's for sure.
Oh, I'm sure a lot of dads out there administer spankings to their teenage sons. I don't use spanking a lot, but it has its place, that's for sure. Sure. I know that, as a loving dad who disciplines his boys with love, you know that I don't spank to be an ogre...I spank because I love my boys and I know they love me.
