I'm not sure yet whether I'll respond to the longer message, but I will answer the two questions:
"Something I just thought of...same scenario, what if YOU had a friend over?"
It would depend on the friend and the misbehavior. If I had a vanilla friend over, I would just give you a look if you were toeing the line. If you were being rude or aggressive, I might say something like, "hey, we're all friends here" or "dude chill out", because that's how I talk to most of my friends and it wouldn't raise suspicion. If you actually seriously misbehaved, I might ask you to "run an errand" like going to the corner store, with the expectation that you would behave better by the time you got back and with you knowing that that meant you were in for a spanking as soon as my friend left. If you chose to misbehave in front of those friends, it would get you a severe punishment because it would mean you were willing to embarrass me.
If you misbehaved in front of some of my other friends, I'd send you to the corner right in front of them as soon as you started toeing the line and swat you if you argued. If you continued misbehaving, I'd either tell them to make themselves at home downstairs while I took you upstairs, or I might invite them to watch while I spanked you in the living room, depending on the misbehavior.
"One other question for you. With this living arrangement, what if YOU were naughty?"
This question made me laugh. I decided to humor you and treat it as a serious question, so I thought for a bit about when the last time I did anything that could be considered "naughty" or even just "misbehavior" was. I'm not perfect, but I follow the rules of the environment I'm in. The only law I break is the speed limit, and that's only when it would be actively unsafe to follow it. At work, I do my tasks on time and meet the expectations of my workplace. As an adult in charge of my own home, it's my standards that matter.
I've reached the level of maturity where I'm self-correcting. The consequences I experience in life are adult consequences. I got a parking ticket earlier this year because I forgot street sweeping started that month and my car was in front of my house. I was embarrassed and I had to cut my fun budget that month, and I haven't forgotten street sweeping day since. I set up a reminder in my calendar so it wouldn't happen again.
However, there are rules I would have for you that I don't currently consistently follow. When I'm particularly tired from work, I don't always meet my own standards for cleanliness. The consequence of not cleaning up after myself is that I have to exert more effort to tidy up when I do get around to it and I have to deal with living in a space that isn't as clean as I want it to be. When the girls that used to live with me were here, they didn't put much effort in either, and I was annoyed enough to not pick up the slack even though that meant living in a messier house.
I said you'd get reminders with a few swats if you didn't complete your chores. The knowledge that I would swat you for a certain behavior would likely be enough to motivate me to be more consistent about meeting my own standards. If you caught me doing something I would spank you for, then I would apologize to you and fix my mistake immediately. Just imagining the embarrassment of that motivated me to go put my lunch dishes in the dishwasher!
So, to answer the question I think you were getting at... there's no situation in which I would be spanked in that living arrangement. You need discipline and you would be living under my roof and my rules. Spankings would provide you structure and help you grow. I'm already self-disciplined and driven to improve for improvement's sake without requiring external motivation.
