If you’re single, say you were dating a woman you liked enough to date, and she asked you for an erotic spanking. Or, if you’re married, your wife asked you for an erotic spanking. Would you do it? ---

So, what’s the backstory here? I can’t imagine this being a problem for a lot of people, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough. ---

Sure, why not? In my experience, about 3% of women are into that, another 12% are open to trying it once or twice. The other 85% are militantly against the topic ever being broached. But, since in the OP situation, the woman is the one suggesting it… ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > So, what’s the backstory here? I can’t imagine this being a problem for a lot of people, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough. It’s just based on a discussion I had, I guess over how “vanilla” your typical guy is. I thought most guys would spank upon request, my friend said no. So I decided to get expert opinions, lol. 🙂 ---

ya of course. Oddly enough the number of them that ask to be choked is waaay higher. And even that isn’t the weirdest request I’ve gotten haha It doesnt do anything for me but different things do it for different people, they can’t help it, and if a chick brings up a fantasy I’m happy to be the guy who gets to help her live it out. What an honor and a statement of how much she trusts me to open up like that, ya know? - TWTTWN ---

If she did something for me that was a little off the beaten track, I’d do the same in return. ---

I used to have a GF who liked getting slapped soundly upon one cheek during lovemaking. I was never fully comfortable with this because the “desired” amount of slap was pretty powerful, and I was reluctant to repeat too often without encouragement because I feared I might leave a mark or, worse, cause injury. I would have been happy to do whatever floated her boat so long as I was getting enough feedback to know how I was doing, and if I wasn’t doing so good, then I could adjust my technique. We eventually broke up, but not over this issue. ETA: Not a facial cheek, either, but one of the others. Just thought I might clarify. ---

I’ve never dated a girl who /didn’t/ like to be spanked. What guy wouldn’t do this? ---

Yeah, whatever. If she asks. But it wouldn’t stop me from laughing inside at the ridiculousness of it. She isn’t done with her Elektra complex. ---

Sure, I’d at least give it a shot. Not my kink - inflicting pain or embarrassment does nothing for me - but I’ve got my own quirks, and fair is fair. Hey, maybe I’d find I like it after all. ---

I consider spanking pretty vanilla actually. Of course I would spank her if she asked for it. ---

I guess I’d do it, but I wouldn’t really like it. I’m fine with biting, strangling, etc. Spanking seems too… juvenile. It’s the same as a shaved public region, I’d feel like I’m screwing a 12 year old. Something about both of those makes me feel a bit oogie. ---

Call me jaded, but I’d consider spanking (not the full on BDSM kind, though) to be pretty vanilla. To answer the poll, though- if she specifically requested it, of course I would. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/guys-would-you-spank-her/580122.md?page=2)
