PM it to me, and I’ll make a ruling…
Not that the women I’ve been with are representative of the general female population, but out of, let’s say, 25 serious girlfriends and hook-ups in my single days, a grand total of 2 asked me to spank them during sex. One liked to play “I’ve been bad, punish me” games, the other just used to scream out “spank me! smack my ass!” during doggie. So 8% of my former sex partners liked it. YMMV.
Sometimes I like it, but never as a punishment. Its just a part of crazy, hard, rough sex. Like hair pulling.
I’ve actually used it as a “real” punishment when I was the spanker. Meaning, our scenario was something he had actually done which was kind of naughty but not a real, deep issue in our marriage.
That’s very naughty. Go to your room.
I’ll be there in a minute.
:o;)
I like spanking my wife and she used to let me do it early in our relationship, but she won’t let me do it now. Which makes me want to spank her all the more.
Exactly this.
This.
KneadToKnow, since you quoted me, I’d like to clarify what I meant when I said that.
I don’t believe that my lover is anything like a father figure to me. I don’t want some Freudian person telling me that I chose my husband because he was a replacement for my father, etc.
So for ME, I don’t want anything having to do with sex to remind me of my dad. For YOU? Hey man, do whatcha like! 
Didn’t mean to misrepresent your meaning, scout1222.
As to requests for more info, I’ll compose my thoughts on the way home and start a new thread then.
Yes. Not a “daddy thing.” It’s a pain thing.
Ok, so is this a new phenomenon? I’d never thought of hair pulling as part of sex, outside of folks that are into BDSM, that is. And yet in the last few years, I’ve heard multiple casual references from female friends who “just want to get their hair pulled.” WTF? Is this now mainstream?
No. And I’d be fairly annoyed if the other person did it without asking–it’d probably kill whatever mood there was. Ditto hair-pulling to a lesser extent, though I guess I’d be more likely to tolerate that. So. . .not only am I not into it, but it would really bother me.
Of course, one would assume that any such issues would have been brought up prior to the circumstances where it could actually happen. . .you know, happening. And, as I’m without-involvement-by-choice ATM, it’s really more an academic question.
Nope. As with hair-pulling, don’t you fucking dare. I’ll spank you if you want to be spanked, but I do not reciprocate.
Yes please. It’s not a daddy thing, more a pain thing and a “being bad” thing. Not in a “I’ve been bad, spank me.” way, but more of a “I’m being bad because I shouldn’t like this and I do.” thing. Not that I actually shouldn’t like it but…bah, it’s hard to explain, k? 
The more I composed my thoughts, the further from the point they got, so I decided not to bother with a whole new thread. I will, though, spoiler my take on spanking and how it’s used at my house so as to minimize the disruption to Winston Smith’s thread.
[spoiler]I’m Daddy, and my girlfriend is my babygirl. This is a D/s thing and really goes beyond the question at hand, so I’ll only add to it to say that people who are not in D/s relationships sometimes just have to take the word of those who are that they are happy and fulfilling.
My babygirl knows that I don’t enjoy spanking her, but she also knows that I’ll do it in a heartbeat if she earns it. I always make her tell me why I’m spanking her to make sure she understands what she is being punished for. Usually, a spanking happens in private and consists of 3-5 swats to her bare bottom. Occasionally, though, she will do something just naughty enough to earn herself a little swat on the seat of her pants even when we’re out and about. She got one at Cracker Barrel last weekend, come to think of it.[/spoiler]

This is always hot in theory, but my husband is a very mild mannered, gentle person, so the results usually end up more humorous than sexy in reality.
I guess for me, it’s a power thing, or a submission thing.
the smacking, the hair pulling - sometimes it’s the rush of adrenaline and unexpected sensation during the act of sex.
As for actual “spanking” - in regards to a Daddy/baby girl relationship like we’re in - I would say that’s more of a roleplaying thing. And the psychology of that is definitely not part of the OP - so I will respect that and just say that for me “spanking” is not part of sex for me, but part of my relationship.
Smacking my ass and pulling my hair (ocassionally - not as part of the norm) is a kinky turn-on that makes things a little less vanilla sometimes.
I dated a girl for awhile that had this thing about wooden spoons, like the kind you cook with. She absolutely LOVED being spanked on the ass during sex with one of those. I thought it was a bit odd, but was of course quick to oblige. Personally, I like pulling a girl’s hair (not hard, mind you, just a tug), but I realize some aren’t about that so I don’t exactly force the issue, hehe
