Talk:Erotic spanking

message: When in an article on erotic spanking four out of five illustrations are of women being spanked/dominated, and the only one of a man is a drawing, not a photo, one wonders to what extent this kind of pseudo-encyploaedic presentation is actually reiterating the idea that women should be dominated, and encouraging domestic violence.
Bring the number of subs in accordance with reality = reverse it: 4 men and 1 woman as a sub in spanking play.
Is this topic worthy of a seperate article, or is it adequately covered in BDSM? --Robert Merkel
LOL, only in wikipedia can we find authoritative articles on topics such as this.

message: spanking is normal dudes... nothing weird about it, its not even a fetish. Dont believe me? Hit your girl on her butt when you are having sex and see for yourself. Afraid to do that? Rent a porn movie, chances are pretty big that someone is getting spanked in it. 82.92.111.48 16:36, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: large parts of this article read as they have been made up - especially all the non-erotic play stuff - paddles hung on children's walls?  C'mon.  This is an encyclopaedia.  If no-one objects I am going to prune this back severely.  raining girl 18:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you -- well said. Problems with items of fact, as well as word choices that say something very different than what the author probably intended, e.g., "spanking is a reflex, like sitting down or making dinner." [User:NicoSuave] 23 November 2006
I have edited out a great deal of that.  It still needs alot more editing, and citations to make it a reference rather than opinion.  Atom 12:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Master The Art Of Erotic Spanking
This website goes through some of the biological and psychological reasons for woman (or men) to become sexually stimulated from the act of spanking.
Really this is an overall better overview of the fetish, in my opinion, than the wikipedia article.

thread_title:  Title 

message: I removed :Image:spank2.jpg which had the caption "Erotic spanking can sometimes go hand in hand with other paraphilia, such as for erotic clothes or erotic humiliation."  An image of something which isn't actually erotic spanking but might be associated with it seems to me to add little to this article.  Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 21:27, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I don't see the need for a section on terminology -- that should be in Wiktionary.  The explanation of some terms could conveniently be integrated into the article: the others probably don't belong.  Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 17:36, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If you could find a way to implement the remaining terms into the article effectively then I would be fine with removing the terminology section. If not I might add the term figging to terminology(since I don't know where else to put it).Wikiposter0123 (talk) 19:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I've been trying for the longest to find out some legal questions about adult spanking.  mainly, is it leagal.  If Hooters is legal, and ultimate fighting is legal, then why not spanking? Can I call it ultimate fighting and then have it be legal.  If anyone knows the answer, please hit me up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgeeray (talk • contribs) 03:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: yes it is most certainly legal. Unless you accidently kill or mutilate someone (not a common event), theres nothing even sort of illegal (So long that its consentual). By the way, you wasted a lot of time since of course, it isnt illegal at all. so everything you asked after the second sentence was a waste of time. Please don't ask questions with what you clearly think is the answer on talk pages. Its stupid for a lot of reasons. 74.132.249.206 (talk) 22:05, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  is spanking considered legal? 

message: Is there a policy or reason for the removal of this information? The comment said no need for British scandals, but this wasn't trying to portray them as being scandals, but notable people who practiced this.--AerobicFox (talk) 23:59, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an article about erotic spanking in an international reference work. How does it help the reader gain a knowledge of erotic spanking to name-check a bunch of minor British celebrities who were caught up in scandals? What does the fact that Harvey Proctor (who most readers will not have heard of) liked to spank young boys? The material is simply not relevant here.--Scott Mac 00:57, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Tend to agree with Scott here; it's tabloid trivia. --JN466 05:33, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

text: A preference for spanking is similar to any other sexual preference involving consenting adults. Like other sexual preferences, we should only attribute it people who have self-identified has having that proclivity. So if someone has written a memoir in which they discuss it, then I don't see any problem with listing their name here, even if the people are only barely notable enough for a Wikipedia biography. But if it's only surmised or inferred by a by a pop biographer then it's probably not appropriate to include.   Will Beback  talk   08:28, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I believed the biography of T.E. Lawrence to be legitimate since it is entitled "The Authorized Biography of T. E. Lawrence", but I did not check the others. If any seem suspect we should remove them as mentioning that there is speculation they may have enjoyed erotic spanking would not add much to the article especially considering there are plenty of notable people that are open about it, or that there is clear evidence of it. --AerobicFox (talk) 08:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Do any of the sources list notable examples of practitioners? Or aren't there perhaps sexual surveys commenting on its prevalence? Citing such a source might be a better approach than compiling a list from disparate sources. By the way, I feel this article has too many illustrations relative to the amount of text. Two or three images and a Commons link to the rest would do just as well. --JN466 16:04, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Most surveys on this typically deal with BDSM activities in general, and do not specifically survey erotic spanking. I havn't checked the sources for a list of notable practioners yet, but I will look into finding such a list. Agreed there are currently too many images especially since they are all bunched up. I have removed and reorganized some. --AerobicFox (talk) 07:00, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no requirement that lists in articles have appeared previously in sources. That's true for stand-alone lists. I agree that few illustrations are necessary.   Will Beback  talk   07:05, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that among those that like to be spanked, they differ as to how hard they like their spankings. In some cases, they may prefer lighter spankings that what you would expect if you were a kid receiving a spanking as punishment. I believe this is something that people who practice erotic spanking between each other discuss beforehand, just as with any other form of S&M practice.  Shouldn't this sort of info be included in the article? --50.152.139.176 (talk) 09:47, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
