Hello, Anne and welcome. I'm American,raised on a farm in the Midwest, and was spanked between about the ages of 4 and....well, NOW (I'm 39).
The earliest years I was spanked as punishment by my grandmother, who raised me. However, I also got involved at an early age in playing "house" or "family" with my cousins, a boy and two girls. He was oldest, so he made the rules, and we girls got the spankings!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. He never spanked me very hard, although he often did it on my bare bottom, and I came to view it as attention and affection from him, something I was otherwise starved for. We had a play-spanking relationship until I was fifteen. This was my "imprinting!" As a teenager I soon morphed into the role of erotic, M/f submissive, which I continue to this day.
