(1) Because most women love it. To be in an embrace with my man when he says, “I want to spank you…”. Wow!! I get turned on by that. The spanking itself is another turnon. (Spanking stimulates the same nerves as sexual activity.) As they say, “A fire on my backside lights up one up front.”

(2) Most men mention the visual appeal of watching her buns turn from white to pink. I think there may be something evolutionary in that. Red indicating readiness in other primate species. So men have evolved to like a bit of color, but women’s rears don’t naturally produce the color as women don’t need to advertise readiness like other species.

(3) There must be a power element to its appeal. Men find it fun to wrestle a little, especially if they expect to win, and with a woman they typically have a great physical advantage and are almost guaranteed to win. If you start out with her in a physically disadvantageous position, then he is guaranteed to dominate. Both men and women find this appealing. I see him as more manly than usual when I am in a spanking position.

If my bf of 18 months didn’t spank me, he’d be banished. It’s consensual, little else matters. Oh, and it does open doors for forays into the world of really interesting sex.

I long for a really well-insulated bedroom.

Sheesh, give ‘em an inch, they take a mile.
