But we are afraid of them, for they clearly outnumber us and majorities have a reputation of being quite nasty to minorities, simply on the grounds that they are minorities. When responding to spanking surveys, over 75% of us say that our spanking side is a very closely kept secret. And when asked what Vanillas think of us, 40% of us think that Vanillas look on us as perverts who are a potential danger to children. (No wonder we keep it a secret, if that is what we think).
Well, 50 people who identified themselves as being Vanilla took part in a spanking survey to tell us what they really think of us. Here are the responses to that survey:
1. Are you male or female
Male 222. How old are you?
Female 24
Prefer not to say 4
Under 30 13
Between 30 and 40 2
Between 40 and 50 2
Over 50 5
Prefer not say 28 3. Were you spanked as a child?
Never 3
Rarely 18
Often 8
Very often 6
Abusively 1
Prefer not to say 16
4. If you were to guess, how often do you think spankos were spanked as children
Never 0
Rarely 6
Often 16
Very Often 12
Abusively 8
Cannot Guess 8
5. In general, which of the following statements do you believe to be true?
I cannot understand spankos 5
They tend to be very nice people 15
They are perverts 1
They need medical or pschr treatment 1
They are harmless 18
They are a danger to children 1
They are like everyone else 25
They are fun people 3
Consensual activity between adults is OK 39
So, with one exception, vanillas do not see us as perverts in need of medical treatment. And I mean one exception, for all three negatives came from the the same person, Which, on the whole, should be some comfort to us all.
And having said that we spankos believe that you should not serve hot spice to those addicted to vanilla icecream, one of my colleagues points out that there are almost an infinite number of more subtle flavors inbetween that might be worth exploring.
It’s good to know that they don’t perceive us as dangerous perverts. But, as this survey shows, they see us as poor souls who, as children, were all beaten by their parents. It doesn’t even cross their minds that most of us might have never been spanked in childhood. So they are not afraid of us but they pity us… Which basically mean that they really don’t have any ability to understand us and “to appreciate the finer nuances of the human experience”, as you put it.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting stats. Spanko's are paranoid about being found out. Vanilla's really don't look down on us, as the survey shows. They seem to know more about us, than we do them. Would you be so kind as to provide the source of the survey. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt is the LSF survey promoted by this very site. We tend to concentrate on the data provided by Spankos, but I took the opportunity to show what the relatively rare vanilla responses were.
