I agree that spanking can be an effective influencer and motivator either as a deterrent to misbehavior, or as a way to promote discipline that helps us meet our goals. As far as comparing the adult consensual experience, and a child's helplessness in being punished, there are profound differences. Anyone who has not lived it as a child can't know what it is like, and the adult experience won't be a re-creation of a child's feelings.
As an adult seeking punishment for your sins, so to speak, you must be very committed and brave to follow through with what is, essentially, self-discipline. You must also be painfully open and honest as you place yourself in the hands of your mentor, who is acting as a disciplinarian in this vulnerable moment. That takes a certain rare type of person. The critical point, though, is that this is your decision and, until the moment of accountability, you control your own destiny. I don't know if you have a "safe word" you can use, but that would be a level of control you may or may not want to have. Bottom line is that, when all is said and done, you can be proud of yourself for your conscientiousness, and the benefit you receive is well-understood.
In contrast to that, as a child, I had no control and, even as I grew enough to potentially defend myself, I felt helpless. I was not mature enough to recognize that there was any benefit to what I was enduring. It was only pain, shame and humiliation. Of course, it was not my choice, and I strongly resented it. The relationship between me and my parents was full of conflict and strain. However, if we are evaluating spanking in terms of how it can manage and correct behavior, and to motivate improved behavior, then we can compare my punishments to what has worked for you. The answer appears to be much the same.
