and thus aren't going to make it public knowledge if they enjoy taking a submissive role. The male ego is made of steel, even if said male is not.

Those guys who let you do that probably go straight out to eat some steak and potatoes, do some bench presses, watch a ball game and then huff and puff to their buddies about manginas or some other topic that makes them feel hormonally superior just to mend the crack they let you put in their ego.

So yeah, I'd say it's taboo, for men anyway. Not so much for women. A good smack across the ass while hitting it doggie style usually prompts a lusty visceral reaction.

Once I was threatened with reciprocation if I did it again. I laughed...and did it again. Then she started talking more shit, and I repeated, started calling me names, and I continued, more threats, more spankings. She followed through on none of her threats, like I knew she wouldn't, but it was pretty hot. I rubbed the redness out of her ass and she got all cuddly and mushy on me. The lioness tamed to purring kitten.

I dig chicks with attitude, and most definitely, girls who like getting that donkey spanked.  

I have been on TER for a year or so and have not seen anything on spanking of men (or women) for that matter.  I wonder why?  Is it because it is considered so taboo? I do have one client who asked me to do this (just a little ) as part of our play.  He enjoyed it. I was happy to obliged.  After all, I am here to bring those deep dark secrets to fruition. So why no bdsm posts??

but if you reciprocate by raking your nails across my back or chest, you'll get an enthusiastic response

Spanking and being spanked

I haven't found that many guys that are into it, I think it's hot!

Check this out...

Being scratched, bitten, belt marks, paddle marks....

Oh yeah! Mikey lets the girls kick his ass!

and you deserve everything you get

Thank you Funwmadison... Over the knee spanking are great... Both ways...Its more of a private issue to most men that are into it...IMHO

Well, a bad boy must be punished.

Still waiting to get my ass beat tonight, goddamit!

I'm a lover not a fighter.  I don't inflict pain, nor do I enjoy it.  Choked a girl once that begged for it.  Other than that I was banging her at the time, it didn't do anything for me.

but to be honest, it does absolutely nothing for me. I have no interest in getting spanked myself, either. There's not much that doesn't turn me on, but this is one of those few things that just makes me go "meh".

Now and then a gal will spank me when I'm on top of her, and it feels pretty nice, especially during the afterglow.

Not sure how'd I be with a full session.  I don't want to have to use a donut cushion when I go to work the next day.

I had more than a lifetime worth of spankings when I was a child, although only with belts, and not paddles.
I don't want any spankings, and I don't want to spank her.
Broke up with a GF one time because she kept harrassing me to come home, and give her a rape fantasy. That creeped me out.
Other than that I am fairly wide open to sexual experimentation with ladies.
My Mom never spanked me. I don't feel any need to  get even with women.
To each their own . As long as both parties are agreeable, have fun.
I hope my Ex found someone who satisfied her desires, and I sincerely hope she got over it.

It's only fun if she enjoys it. No pleasure for me in doing anything that's not mutually enjoyed. Spanking is pretty mild compared to some things that get people off, and I think one of the tamer forms of power exchange.

As far as finding it degrading/humiliating, I think you're in the minority amongs women. I've certainly never delivered a firm hand to an ass with the intention of making a woman feel either of those emotions. But by all means if that's how it makes you feel, then you absolutly should not allow it, no argument here. But be careful who you turn around and smack in the face...

I find that most women prefer the sexually submissive role and like at least a small dose of D/s play - and that does not neccessarily require anything involving any form of BDSM - including spanking. Just to say that they prefer their men to be men and expect to be man handled a lil bit; to varying degrees.

But, to each their own. Like I said, I dig chicks with some attitude. I ain't afraid for her to show some fire, and I'm not mesmerized by the flames either, I just wanna see how hot it can burn. If she's not so passive and more of a tiger and wants to try and put it on me, I'm down. Game on.

to each their own. I personally enjoy variety in sessions..I love the private time I get to spend and exploring ones mind..

If everyone was the same in the bedroom, what a boring session it would be..

I guess thats why I get so turned on.. The different things ones mind can explore...and the comfort knowing someone out there is into it too..

"So yeah, I'd say it's taboo, for men anyway. Not so much for women. A good smack across the ass while hitting it doggie style usually prompts a lusty visceral reaction. "

Be very careful who you deliver that "good smack" to.  Let's just say if ever any man hit me on the ass...I would return the favor, but not to his ass. Same goes for yanking my hair. Not into any kind of roughness and I always appreciate it if asked first so I can respectfuly decline. I find being hit/spanked etc. degrading and humiliating as most men might find being spanked emaculating.

I do enjoy it when a favorite lady gives me a good hard whack on my ass in the heat of the action. A big part of the enjoyment I get comes from the surprise nature of an unanticipated shock that doesn't really hurt much. Not talking about a ritual spanking, which, frankly, sounds a bit boring. Maybe I could be convinced otherwise by the right lady.  

Some hobbyists may not write reviews or talk openly on the forums about their kinks. To each his own, right?
There are plenty of posts about kinky activities, be it spanking or other fetishes...you just don't always catch them.
