Bad Boys Get the Paddle:Exploring Gay Spanking Sites

Anton Frisk takes a whack at explaining the gay spanking genre, then showcases some sites that are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Spanking has probably been sexually fetishized for as long as it has been used as a form of punishment. As for why some people end up fetishizing it and others don’t, that’s a topic that has been hotly debated by psychologists for many decades. Some believe that being spanked as a child can lead to a spanking fetish, but there are many spanking fans who were never spanked as a child. But regardless of the root causes, spanking is one of the more common fetishes among both gay and straight people. In fact, one could easily argue that spanking has become almost a national obsession. At Spanking Art you’ll find a guide to hundreds of spanking scenes in mainstream film and A History of Spanking in Film.

Some spanking enthusiasts are more focused on fantasy role play, whereas others crave a more intense CP (Corporal Punishment) experience. Some go a step further by participating in serious, long-term DD (Domestic Discipline) relationships. It’s a fascinating relationship dynamic that is similar to a Dom/sub dynamic, but with some differences.

At Good Reads you’ll find a list of fantasy novels about gay CP and DD relationships. If you’re interested in the psychology of DD, check out Melissa E. Travis’ 2013 sociology dissertation, Assume the Position: Exploring Discipline Relationships. Also, The Spanking Dictionary by Phil G is a fun little guide to spanking jargon.

Next we’ll look at some websites, studios, blogs, and social networks that specialize in male-on-male spanking.

In addition to CP and DD, another common abbreviation seen at spanking sites is OTK, which stands for Over The Knee. Some sites specialize in hardcore spanking, paddling, and caning, whereas others focus more on OTK spanking and fantasy scenarios such as daddy/son, younger brother/older brother, teacher/student, etc. Among the fantasy-focused sites, Spank This offers the highest quality material. Spank This is part of Helix Studios, and during the site’s early days studio owner Keith Miller (aka Jeff Sterne) was one of the site’s most popular spanking tops. The fantasy spanking videos at Spank This feature popular models from Helix Studios and display the same high level of quality.

In addition to Spank This, there are dozens of smaller and more hardcore amateur sites. Some sites worth checking out include Straight Lads Spanked, Reluctant Young Men, Real Male Spankings, Spanking-Boys, No Mercy For Men, Skater Spank, Sting Pictures, and Mans Hand Films.

If you’d like to enjoy some free spanking videos, Spanking Tube offers a collection of over 4,000 male-on-male spanking clips in its Men Spanking Men section. There are also tumblr sites at SF Guy Spank and Frat Boy Spank. The informative blog found at Cornertime Confidential offers some nice articles and Q/A explaining the details of DD Relationships. At Gay Spanking you’ll find posts about recent updates from numerous spanking subscription sites. Two additional blogs with useful links are Jock Spank and The Naughty Boy.
