I think every movie or tv show I watched growing up that had kids in it, I would always imagine things from a parental discipline side of it. However, I didn't talk about it with anyone. The subject was too awkward for me, but it would have been interesting if someone had started the conversation.

I don't know where and when you grew up but growing up in the 80s and 890s in Southern England most of us got smacked occasionally. Real spankings were in private and I'd have died rather than admit I'd had, or was going to get, one as a teen. Most of my friends were the same. I only found out years later that they got it too.
That said we were all to eager to sit in judgement about others particularly if we didn't like them or didn't know them.

Not very nice really but we were all the same.

I grew up in the US. Spanking was common for small children where I lived in my early youth, but had become unusual for teenagers by the time I reached that phase of life. To me, there was really nothing more embarrassing, and even just the mention of spanking felt very awkward.

I can understand the sentiments you describe having. Maybe if I had talked with others about it, we would have had the same kinds of opinions. Who could use or deserves a spanking is of interest, and not necessarily a mean or sadistic thing to consider. When I imagined it, a spanking was for the benefit of the one being punished, and though painful, the result was always positive.
