Is Reading Spanking Fiction Just Entertainment?
Recently, I saw some comments on a spanking message board from women who are not in spanking relationships, but who satisfy some of their spanking fantasies by reading spanking fiction. Obviously, the ideal situation is to be in a loving spanking relationship, but when that isn’t available, spanking stories can be a way to help satisfy these needs.
Fiction has always been a way to live vicariously through story characters. However, in spanking stories, it isn’t just about thoughts and emotions, it’s also a very physical activity and need. Let’s just get this out front, spankings hurt. Reading about spankings doesn’t (well, unless you get caught reading them when you shouldn’t be). So just how much can reading spanking stories be satisfying or can it create more frustration causing you to want what you don’t have?
According to the women in the group I was reading, they consider reading spanking stories to be very satisfying despite not having a real spanking relationship available. It gives them fuel for their fantasies, for one thing. It allows them to escape just for a little while into the fictional lives of the characters. It’s the same as women reading romance novels. Romance novels are full of ideal romantic relationships. It doesn’t mean a woman has to feel lacking if her relationship with a man doesn’t live up to that standard. It’s a fun escape, an entertaining pastime - just like reading spanking stories.
What do you think? Why do you read spanking stories?
