From the front page of the Los Angeles Times 70 years ago today, Jan. 26, 1938:
Wives of Spanking Husbands
Form Girls’ Auxiliary to ClubSIOUX FALLS (S. D.) Jan. 25 (AP) — Wives of Spanking Husbands’ Club, organized in Sioux City, Iowa, and parent organization of fifty-nine such clubs throughout the nation according to its own figures–reached out for another slice of territory today.
The Iowa housewives who consider it a mark of esteem for their husbands to wield a disciplinary hairbrush once in a while, announced plans today for a junior auxiliary–Daughters of Spanking Parents.
ELIGIBLE GIRLS
A letter received here from Sioux City and signed “Rita Rae, general delivery,” told of plans for the new organization for which she claimed an initial membership of seventeen. Any girl above the age of 11 years is eligible to join, Mrs. Rae wrote.
“We think all parents should spank their daughters when they don’t behave,” Mrs. Rae wrote. “Some girls won’t admit it, but the really know it is better to get spanked than scolded and nagged. Spanking creates a better understanding between parents and daughters.”
MERELY SPANKED
Mrs. Rae is the president of the Wives of Spanking Husbands, which was organized last June 26 under the broad-minded slogan “Spare the hairbrush and spoil the wife.”
“Our husbands don’t beat us,” the Sioux City woman was careful to explain. “They just turn us over their knees and give us a good sound spanking.”
I am a woman married to my best friend, my wife. She spanks me for discipline, but not severely. It’s mostly play between us.
Phoenix, it’s good to see some activity on this board. In my home it’s my husband who does the spanking, but I can see how it would be different in some families.
Do you ever spank your wife?
My husband now makes me carry a large flat wooden brush in my purse so that anytime he feels I am out of line I must present it, hike up my skirt and bare my bottom. Also when I am with him I am not suppose to wear panties, I have gotten in trouble for this in the past, so I acquiesce. Its a turn on looking into my purse and seeing it. Especially when he’s not around. Its like a reminder that I am loved, that someone cares enough for me to not let me get to far out of line. I say especially when he is not around because its a less painful memory, usually if he’s with me its more likely to have been used and quite honestly I hate the pain! I like the comfort I feel afterward, the endorphins I guess or maybe the peace that floods my being knowing that all is right with the world. Being under obedience is really important for me. I think if you had to analyze why people liked to be spanked,the answer is it brings peace and order, structure to an otherwise very chaotic existence.
Penny, I too am a spanked wife and if you feel the need you can always talk to me
Sharon
I was never in a spanking relationship until I started dating my now husband. My first spanking was for what he called disrespecting him. When he told me to pull my pants down and get across his lap I thought he was kidding. Of course I refused so I ended up with him taking my pants down, putting me across his lap and spanking my bare bottom. He had to scissor my legs. I’ve come to learn he means business when he spanks me. My spankings are always either an open hand or the back of a hairbrush and the length depends upon the severity of the infraction. My tears are real as is my reddened backside. He always comforts me afterwards and explains why I needed the spanking. I guess this keeps me in line. I recently learned that my father in law spanks my mother in law, so he grew up in a household were this was the norm.
Sharon and Robin, I guess that in every age there’s a group of Wives of Spanking Husbands. And we’re happy with the practice, though perhaps not so happy when the actual spankings are taking place. It’s nice to hear about it from other wives.
Sharon, I’m curious as to his method. Most men seem to apply the classical over the knee with panties down spanking. Is that what you experience?
I am 45, married and a spanked wife and have been since I married 13 years ago. Whenever I misbehave, step out of line, behave like a brat or disobey my husband he puts me across his knee, takes my panties down and spanks me either with his hand or small leather paddle that has my named engraved on. If I have been really bad he bends me over the kitchen table and canes me.
Being spanked or caned is never pleasant and I always end up sobbing but I consider myself very fortunate to be married to a man that holds me accountable for my misdeeds, a man that has the courage to take my panties down and deal with me accordingly
We never argue, never row and I always feel much more clam and relaxed when I have had my bare bottom attend to
Penny
When my husband spanks me then he belives in traditional over the knee method that is with me right across his knee hands flat on the floor skirt raised and panties down around my knees

Hello I’m a married man I always love spanking and since my adolésance at the age of 17, I spank my copaine the time and I was delighted vraimment. But what I do spas sap is that even though it also is mourned in the last spanking. To this day my last spanking goes back eight months she had 46 years. So I’m always near you to make you happy my pleasure too. Even in France for the French you have my email. For other web cam it says … Actually more ++
I have been married for 23 years; we have two teenagers. I am a strong, independent, and beautiful woman. Frankly, I would have dumped my husband 13 years ago if not for our children.
For 13 years, I have treated my husband poorly. I suppose that I have been punishing him for something he did (which I will not go into right now). For so long, I have counted the days until our youngest graduates from high school so that I can kid his ass out.
But on Tuesday, something happened that has forever changed our relationship. Yes, my husband spanked me. He not only spanked me, he beat my rear until I shed a gallon of tears. I tried to squirm away; he overpowered me. Even now, five days later, I am having difficulty sitting in a chair. And getting into my car….forget it, the pain is still more than I can bear.
How can a spanking, (actually a hardcore butt beating session), change my attitude so? Now instead of looking at him with hostile contempt, I look at him with lust in my eyes and a smile on my face. I once again know my husband intimately. And after 23 years, it is I who cannot keep my hands off of him.
WOW! This is amazing!
Your husband waited much too long to spank you, but it’s good that he finally did. He overdid it a bit. You should be able to sit down comfortably after a day or two. Perhaps you should ask him to spank when he thinks it’s appropriate and not let his anger build up.
Thank you for your post Penny. My husband also thinks he waited far to long, however, he is very pleased with the result of it all. I believe my attitude has been adjusted; I don’t want to feel anything like that ever again. But he is talking about keeping things where they are right now and has said he will continue to spank me when he thinks he should. I don’t know about that; it hurt so much.
What you have to understand now Chris, is that it’s up to you whether or not you get spanked. Bad behavior will get you spanked. Good behavior and you won’t have any trouble sitting down.
All you people are SICK! If a wife gives her permission to her husband to spank her, what can it mean? It’s not punishment; it’s masochism. If she doesn’t give him permission and he does it anyway, it’s the cops on him and then the divorce court.
Society just doesn’t endorse husbands using corporal punishment on their wives any more. Too many husbands overdid the spanking: beating, punching in the face, other injurious acts.
Spanking children has also fallen into disfavor for much the same reason: bleeding, severe bruising, worse.
Jimmy,
What consenting adults do is their own business.
I wish my wife would be more strict in her rules. When she puts me down on the bed it’s really hot.
Sixty years ago, society decided that a public divorce in the courtroom was better than a private spanking in the bedroom. At about the same time, it also chose Ritalin in the classroom over a paddling in the principal’s office. As with all things, these choices weren’t free lunches. The results have included the problems associated with single parenting and police in schools.
The results of these choices have also included domestic discipline deniers claiming that husbands never spanked their wives or that it was isolated to some region of the country or religious sect. Nothing could be further from the truth. The principal difference was that spanking wasn’t confined to a particular lifestyle. Rather, in the days before professional marriage counseling, it was one way husbands and wives worked out their problems when marriages were supposed to last.
Neither was getting spanked on a bare bottom prima facie evidence of abuse. Instead, abuse was recognized as black eyes, broken bones, missing teeth and the like. For this society had very little toleration. Even after World War II, abusive men were jailed and sometimes sentenced to be flogged.
Now, if the outcomes from divorce have been so bad, why did society choose them in the first place? The answer can be found in legislated equality between the sexes. Regardless of how bad things became as a result, the law said men and women had to be treated as equals. This also meant that boys and girls had to be treated the same way too. Part of that equality included spanking.
It didn’t matter that generations of parents knew that daughters could be successfully spanked even in their late teens and even well into their 20s. Neither did it matter that spanking boys became more problematic with the onset of puberty. The only thing that mattered was that the sexes be treated equally from cradle to grave.
Since spanking stood in the way of implementing equality, it had to be pushed to the fringes. That’s how spanking became synonymous with abuse of defined as pornography.
Meanwhile, behind closed doors and drawn curtains, mothers are still not above taking an old-fashioned hairbrush to that badly behaved daughter’s backsides when alternatives and expensive try-this-try-that counseling sessions fail to achieve the desired results.
Likewise, husbands and wives rediscover spanking is preferable to divorce. It also improves their sex life!
My boyfriend and I have been together 1.5 years, spanking has always been in our relationship. I was on experience project for years talking about this aspect of a relationship, however recently all the spanking couples were constantly getting reported.
Anyways this is normal to me, and I say this counting down the hours until he gets home from work and his belt beats my ass until I can’t sit because I have be a disobedient, selfish brat. Before he gets here I will lay all of the implements out so he may choose what he wants to use. We are still experimenting with what to use, but have been doing it long enough to know limits. I have been doing this long enough to where I shouldn’t be getting spanked for such things anymore.
