Hello, Ms. Kristina. (I hope it’s okay to type my reply above your original post.) I’m an adult male who’s new here, so I’d prefer not to reveal my name until I feel comfortable and become more familiar with people on here. I find this to be an interesting & exciting forum. Do you communicate only with parents, or do you also chat with adults who are/were spanked? Please let me know whenever you can. Thank you.
