Most spankos in my acquaintance treat M/m, F/m, M/f and F/f spankings as being purely in the realm of discipline. We admit some of our fellow spankos get a kick out watching and reading about such activity - but those fold do seem to be in a tiny minority.
A recent episode of the sitcom "blackish" revolved around whether the son of the lead couple should get spanked for some misdemeanor. Spoiler alert - in the event, he did not.
But on the way, various stereotypical characters we able to make various stereotypical comments about the goods and evils of the corporal punishment of juveniles. An added canned laugh track made it all seem fresh, original and humorous.
Perhaps it is the series, or the topic, but I found nothing to smile about while watching this episode. But as a matter of full disclosure, that is true of all the episodes that I have watched so far. Perhaps I am the wrong demographic.
But since two thirds or all spankos are anti-juvenile corporal punishment of any kind, it may be just that most spankos are hard wired not to find gratuitous humor to be found within the topic of beating kids - no matter how abstract the discussion is. It is not impossible to divvy up a smile-worthy gag about spankings, just that the task seems to be too high a hurdle for most script writers to clear.
I think it might be some sort of move in the right direction. That beating kids can be a suitable sitcom topic shows some sort of loosening of the ties over all things spanking: it is just that on this occasion, it was one that I would not have minded having been left in place. By all means have serious discussions whether spanking of kids is an acceptable method of discipline: but perhaps it is not a good thing to try to make you think the subject is quite hilarious.

Marry Me
The pilot episode of a new sitcom called "Marry Me" had a quick one swat to the butt of the female lead.
It was an "atta girl" spank from the left hand of the lead male (I think left hand is code for "not as hard as it could be"). The accompanying sound effect was fairly meaty.
And her reaction? The best I an describe it is one of eye-wide polite disbelief. Our mainstream scriptwriters are still struggling with the new-age acceptance of spanks between consulting adults as both tokens of affection as well as signals of interest in making some much more personal interaction.
In the world at large, we now regularly see sports players give "well done" swats to fellow team members (it was all very quick, but I suspect that Abby Wambauch gave a fellow soccer player such a swat to a team mate in the recent CONCACAF cup final game). Even a "So You Think You Can Dance" got a "We with you" sort of swat on one show when told that she was in danger of being eliminated from the contest.
This is the new age of acceptance of spanks between adults - but our stalwart script writers are having a hard time of coming to terms with it. Perhaps they are of our ilk - they certainly do seem to seize every opportunity to get some mild spank activity into an episode - but are still in the closet and are hiding their true knowledge of what it all about. No - that cannot be right.
Perhaps we should all drop a line to sitcom writers to let them know how to give a true portrayal of what we do. For we spankos are very helpful souls when it comes to assisting our fellow men ...

What did she really mean?
I am not a follower of "How To Get Away With Murder" (ABC crime series) but when the latest episode was playing in the background, I was startled enough to sit up and take note when one female character said to her lawyer "I've been staring at the wall for three days. f I don't get some company soon, I might go red rum all over your ass. But something tells me you might be into that."
This piece of modern patois is completely alien to me. I came across the term redrum some years ago as a word play based on the fact it is the word murder spelled backwards. But that usage does not seem to easily fit the context of two potential suitors chatting each other up.
So I am definitely non-plussed, and feel that I ought not to be. So, dear reader, if you can shed some light, by all means drop me an email to share your arcane knowledge of this beguiling topic ...
