I was paddled by the coach as were my team mates It was very common in my era and part ofthe counrty.We were paddled on the bare butt and it hurt and it might well be in front of other temamates or it might be in his office. In any case I saw guys cry and I will admit i cryed as much as I did not want to-- I also heard the typical spank-pleading as I did myself-- at ages 16 or 17. I even saw a big strong guy and a great football player pee down his own leg when he was getting it. As I look back that kind of stuff--It was too much.I like the other guys just took it as it was so accepted== but I hope we have come further in the last generation. It was just too harsh. We got itfrom our coach but other teachers-- (even some small women) taught with excellent discipline and never raised a hand to us. I am not going to go out and join non spanking groups-- or make a big deal but since this poll is here I just wanted to voice my opinion. May I ask one question-- how many guys who got public paddlings wherein they either cryed in front of teammates or were reduced to childlike pleas (or peed)-- would endorse this for their sons? It is my guess that guys who were really humiliated would not be for spanking.
