This story is pure fiction; I only wish it was true.
My name is David. I have been a houseparent in a small group home now for more than 10 years. The boys who stay with us range in age from 7 to 17 years old. The state absolutely forbids the use of corporal punishment, but what they don't know won't kill them. In my years of experience of working with boys, I have found that many of them would rather be spanked than lose their privileges. In fact, for the last several years, I have found that to be universally true.
Most of the kids who come to us stay for a period of 1 – 3 years and then they usually move on. Whenever a new boy arrives, he and I will get acquainted over a long lunch out. Today, we received a new boy named Jonathan. Jonathan was 9 years old, about 4'6", and weighed about 90 pounds. He had thick, wavy brown hair, green eyes, and a swimmer's build. I later learned that his build had come from the karate lessons he had been taking for several years.
I always try to take the boys out to lunch at their favorite place. Boys who have grown up in the system rarely get such an opportunity. Jonathan's favorite was Chinese, just like mine, and I knew we were going to get along well. During lunch, I learned that Jonathan had been in the system since he was 5. His father had been an alcoholic and his mother a drug addict. I told him that I had grown up in group homes myself and an instant camaraderie was formed. It was time to change the subject.
"Okay, Jonathan, we need to talk about the rules," I said, and Jonathan nodded his head with understanding.
"Jonathan, the rules are pretty much the same as you would expect anywhere else, but the choice you have for your punishment when you break the rules is what is different," I said. Jonathan, looking puzzled, just listened.
"As you know, the state absolutely forbids the use of corporal punishment—that is, we are told we cannot spank you in any way. I have found, however, that many boys would rather receive a spanking than to lose their privileges," I said. And, Jonathan was now half-grinning and shaking his head up and down, indicating he agreed with this statement.
"Yes, sir," he replied.
"Well," I continued, "At this group home, we give you the choice, but you only get to choose once. Either you will choose to lose privileges when you get into trouble or you will choose to be spanked, but you must choose today. So that you know, all of the boys we have now have said they would rather be spanked, and the choice you make will affect all of them because the decision has to be unanimous. Obviously, if one boy opted out, he might tell and then everyone would be in trouble. We can't have that, now can we?" and then I paused for his response.
"No, sir," and then he opened his mouth to speak, but then stopped.
"Go ahead," I said, "What were you going to say?"
"Well, uh, how would I be spanked, sir?"
"That's a good question, Jonathan," I replied, and then continued, "Since, as you know, the state forbids the use of corporal punishment, we have to be very careful and very discreet. Even without their regulation, though, we are in the business of caring for children, not abusing them. You know spankings hurt, and a spanking from me will be no different, but no spanking I give will ever leave lasting marks. Generally, a boy who has been spanked by me stops crying soon after it's over, and the redness will have gone out of his bottom within no more than a couple of hours after the spanking is over. Having said all that, I still haven't answered your question. All boys are spanked on their bare bottoms, and the spanking may be with my hand or my paddle. The reason I spank on the bare bottom is that it allows me to watch what I am doing to ensure that I cause no long-lasting damage to the skin."
"Wow," said Jonathan, "I've never heard of this before," then he thought for a moment and asked, "You said all of the boys do this now?"
"Yes, Jonathan, and I don't think they want someone to change that. See, I am strict, but the pain of a good spanking is over long before the pain from the loss of your privileges would be. It's getting time for us to get back. What's it going to be?"
"I guess I don't have much of a choice," said Jonathan, "If all the other boys are doing it, I will have to go along with it."
"That's a good decision, Jonathan, and it's the same one all of the other boys have made. Remember, though, this is our secret. No one else must know, and it begins as soon as we walk out the door. Any trouble, and your little butt belongs to me, understood?"
"Yes, sir," he replied.
BACK AT THE HOUSE
"Okay, boys, let's huddle up. We have a new boy to meet. This is Jonathan. He's 9 and he has been taking karate for several years, but he seems to be a real fine kid, and he has agreed to join our little private club," and all the boys laughed as I said this.
"Jonathan, you're assigned to Jason's room. There are only 2 boys in each room, and we usually pair a younger boy with an older one. Jason is in charge of his room. You need to listen to him or he may bring you to me for a spanking. Is that clear?"
"Yes, sir," he replied, and turning to Jason, he said, "Hi, Jason." Jason was 13 and looked a lot like Simon Camden, played by David Gallagher, on the tv show 7th Heaven. He was blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and every girl's dream date! Jonathan liked him instantly.
"Okay, if there aren't any other announcements, group is dismissed. Jason, please help Jonathan get settled in."
"Yes, sir," Jason replied.
IN THE BOYS ROOM
Jonathan entered first, and Jason followed closing the door, which sort of surprised Jonathan. Most group homes won't allow boys to be behind closed doors. Sensing his fear, Jason said, "Relax, sport. Because of our arrangement with David, we get to do pretty much whatever we want as long as we follow the rules. I guess you agreed to along with the program and get spanked whenever you get into trouble?" Jason asked, half quizzically.
"Yes. What's it like, I mean, getting spanked? Is he hard on us?" Jonathan asked.
"David is fair," Jason answered, "but when you're in trouble, he spanks for real. No playing around. I haven't seen a boy yet that didn't cry. He never gives a couple of swats, as he says it, 'If you've done something that I think merits a spanking, I'm going to make sure you don't do it again'," Jason said, trying his best at the end to sound like David.
"Wow," was all Jonathan could say, thinking now this may not have been such a good idea.
"Don't worry, though, David is fair. Just follow the rules and no one gets hurt, pun intended," and at this they both laughed.
"The most important thing for you to do now is to get your stuff put away and get ready for bed," said Jason. "The older boys are aloud to stay up 1-hour later than you guys so I'm going to be going now, but just make sure you're in bed by 9, 'kay?"
"Okay," said Jonathan, and the time was 8:30.
Jason left to watch tv while Jonathan surveyed his new surroundings, and then he saw it: a PlayStation 2! Jonathan thought to himself that he had time for a quick game.
It was after 9 before he knew it and David walked in.
Jonathan looked up surprised, letting out an audible gasp, "Hhhh!"
"Jonathan, may I take it from that gasp that Jason was good enough to tell you the bedtime rule?" David asked.
"Yes, sir," Jonathan answered in his best but-I-didn't-mean-to voice.
"Stop playing, right now, and go get your bath. After you have dried off, call me, please."
Starting to whimper, Jonathan did as he was told. After he finished drying, he wrapped the towel around himself and called, "David, I'm finished, sir."
David entered the bathroom and was pleased to find there was no water on the floor as he expected, but he wasn't here to inspect tonight.
"Jonathan, I have confirmed with Jason that he explained the rules. I regret that it must be this way your first day, but you must be spanked. Remove your towel and bend over my lap now, please," David instructed him.
Crying now, Jonathan did as he was told.
Jonathan was naturally tanned, but his butt was white enough. When Jonathan laid himself across David's lap, his little 9-year old butt was firmly rounded, yet springy to the touch.
"I am a fair man," David said, "but when a boy disobeys me, I spank him three ways: hard, fast and continuously, Jonathan," and with that David slapped Jonathan's bottom hard and made his first of many impressions on little Jonathan. SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! Left, right, up down. David rained swats down on Jonathan's little bottom.
Surprisingly, Jonathan showed no signs of resistance. He just lay there and was spanked soundly, pleading now and then for David to stop, but his cries fell on deaf ears. SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! His bottom was now as red as David was comfortable making it, and Jonathan was crying uncontrollably.
"Okay, Jonathan, get up," David said.
Little Jonathan got up and gingerly rubbed his bottom, still crying, and began to look around for his underwear, he looked as if he was orienting himself to where he was but he finally found and put them on.
David called the boy to him, sat him on his lap, and hugged him. Jonathan then began to cry even more, and David wondered out loud, "Why are you crying more now, son?"
"I'm sorry," Jonathan managed to say through his tears, "I just forgot."
"Well, Jonathan, I would like to tell you that it's all over, but your roommate may choose to introduce you to his hand, too," David said.
"Wha, wha, what do you mean," Jonathan stammered.
"Well, the boys don't think I know, but whenever someone gets spanked after one of the other boys tried to prevent it, they fee they need to reinforce to the other that they should have listened to them when they warned them about the rule," David explained.
Jonathan began to cry more now, "I'm sorry, sir, really I am, please don't let Jason spank me again," he begged.
"I'm sorry, Jonathan, but he did warn you. I have found the second warming is usually the one that gets the message through. Jason may not spank you, though. Who knows? Run along and get in bed, son," David instructed him.
"Yes, sir," Jonathan replied, but not before looking back and saying, "Thank you, sir. I've never had a spanking like that, but I know you did it because you care."
With that, David blushed and hoped against hope that Jason wouldn't spank Jonathan, but somehow he knew.....
