We spankos have some odd ideas what non-spankos might think of us. We suspect that they don't understand us, and some of us go so far as to fear that main-line vanillas think we need medical treatment because we are a potential danger to children. Not that we are - just that vanillas might mistakenly think we are in need of treatment.
A recent survey revealed that of those vanillas who respond to spanking surveys, not one single one ticked either the "need medical attention" or "danger to children" boxes. We are talking a relative small sample (50 respondents) with no control group: but 0% suggests that we might possibly be a bit over cautious in how we think people will react to the news should it get out that we are spankos. And - as you might expect - over half did tick the "I don't understand spankos" box : we got that one right.
Of a couple of dozen spankos who tell me that they made their spanking inclination more wide known, only one reported (to me) an adverse reaction: and that was limited to a single friend who took it rather badly. If your experiences have been different, do share.
But there is one aspect of our predilection that vanillas just do not get.
A new survey is in the course of being set up to investigate deeper into what makes us tick and what the vanilla community think of us. While researching what questions to pose, I came over and over again the point that spanking as part of our sex drive is understandable - if a bit odd - to the average vanilla. But spanking just for the sake of spanking - with nothing to follow (save, perhaps, some corner time) - that seems to be beyond their capacity to understand.
And yet both you and I know that sometimes the spanking is the beginning and the end - the whole caboodle is the spanking and nothing but the spanking. Indeed, spanking exclusively as some sort of foreplay would take away a great deal of the enjoyment we get when not looking for a romp in the hay.
This looks like a topic for survey-man to tackle. I shall keep you posted on how it all works out.
I think of my sex drive and my "spanking drive" as two sturdy vines growing out of the same soil. They twine around each other, and they can never be completely disentangled, but they are separate.
ReplyDeleteI understand. Getting others to understand might be a tad difficult/
DeleteWhen we have shared our spanking interests with others, the most common reaction has been a big yawn. We can not fathom why spanko's are so paranoid.
