One thing to remember is that the section for review replies here in the forum is open for guests to read and post replies, so your readers do not need to be forum members to engage in a dialogue with you.

Oohh... ::rubs hands gleefully:: Money, mint, those little Wisp toothbrush things and a cell phone. Definitely a cell phone with all your besties on alert to answer if you call. A good first date for me would be one where I laughed -- real, genuine, there goes the eye make-up sort of laughter. If a man has a good sense of humor and can make me laugh like that, it's wonderful.

Oh, of course! I completely agree that a child who was previously abused should never be spanked. My POV was derived from my experiences as a child and with my own children, who might consider having rules and curfews and things abuse, but who have been loved and cherished all their lives.

Just as a quibble, and I'll apologize in advance for being in a quibbling state of mind, the "Adult" in our site's name does not mean that every story has to contain sex, graphic or otherwise, or violence. There are mature themes that don't necessary translate as sexual or violent. They're equally welcome here, and we even have a NoSex tag for those who can't live without it. We also allow original fiction as well as fan fiction, meaning I don't need to deal with publishing my work on multiple sites because I don't always write fan fiction. We're not all here to write graphic content. Some of us just want the freedom to write our stories as they evolve, without worrying about scarring the psyches of 13 year old users, and without worrying about being plagiarized, flamed or otherwise abused. I began here as an author, and volunteered as a way to support a site that respects the dignity of authors.

For clarity, let me begin by saying that spanking has as many definitions as there are people would will talk about it. So, as a caveat, I can only speak from my own definition, which is an open-handed smack, administered with a bare hand, to a bottom. No paddles, implements, or other enhancements, and no striking anywhere else. I have two children who are now teenagers, may the gods look kindly on me. Spanking was not a routine form of punishment, but I have spanked and do not regret it. While my children lived in dread of being on the receiving end of one of my lectures, when they each ran out into the street as toddlers, it was a particularly lousy moment for a lecture. It was a brilliant moment for me to catch the speedy little offender, administer one open-handed swat to the well padded bottom of the offender and yell, "NO!" quite emphatically. The little miscreant burst into tears because I did not normally scream or spank. It was a stupendously effective attention-getter, and neither of them ran into the street more than once. If used sparingly, it's discipline.

I'm giving it another whirl this year. I managed it the past two years, but this year is dodgy. We'll see if I make it....
