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 began on this website for a project. Some of the comments seemed salient. However, the “intellectual” who posted on July 25, 2015 was a special case. I have to be honest, I really thought this contempt for women had abated. The asininity was amusing though.
Obviously if a husband or wive decide they really they need this type of discipline it is their affair. However, to announce that all women are perpetual infants who have to be treated with condescending firmness is a whole kettle of neurosis. Actually, there is a strong field of thought in sociology that holds that because women have traditionally cared for children they are always innately more mature and responsible then men.
The best spanking poster I saw was one that stated, “spanking your wife is fun, until she decides being a widow is more fun!” Just a word to the wise lol
Having lived long enough to remember the days before equal rights for women, I find attitudes toward women to be far more toxic than they were over half a century ago. The current battle over Planned Parenthood funding is merely the tip of an seething iceberg of conservative rage.
In part, women have done it to themselves. Having simultaneously claimed to be the equal of any man, while demanding protection from men, women have created a pending backlash that will explode once the current equal rights laws pass into legal oblivion.
The forgoing observation is not without precedent. It happened a quarter century ago when the former Soviet Union disintegrated.
Prior the the Soviet collapse, equality between the sexes was written into the Soviet constitution. This exemplar served a model for the women’s liberation movement in the United States during the early 20th century. The problem was that, quite literally, the rights of Soviet women were only paper thin.
Today, of course, the Soviet Union is no more. The old Soviet constitution is a relic of history as unenforceable as the Code of Hammurabi. Along with the passing of the Soviet constitution died the equal rights of women in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan as well as in post-Soviet Russia.
According to various sources, the status of women in Russia today is so precarious that not even marriage can protect a woman from becoming kidnapped and sold into sex slavery! Not surprisingly, sexual harassment is rampant.
It doesn’t take a genius cerebral capacity to notice that the United States is currently deeply divided and highly unstable. In time, like ever empire before it, the United States will fall apart. When it does, those rights presently enjoyed by women will be no more.
Even if the laws protecting women are technically still on the books, there will be no enforcement mechanism. Thus, with the fragmentation of the United States (quite likely along the blue-state red-state line as well as the increasingly Hispanic West), will die equal rights for women if for no reason other than there will be too many other concerns occupying people’s lives.
I am a 43 year old women who gets spanked by my other half who is 33 . I respect him and love him with all my heart but when he has had enough of my smart mouth, or attitude then I can certainly expect a good hard bare ass spanking . We dont have silly rules of housework not being completed or supper not made J’s more of a disciplinary when it comes to not taking care of myself taking meds, or being out late in the dark alone ( sitting by the lake in a secluded spot alone) will ensure i wont sit for a day. Temper tantrums , attitude and my smart ass mouth?I seem to be really good at using the smart ass attitude , but quickly forget the consequence ughhh sometimes I wish my mouth and ass could communicate befour i flap my mouth at him.. Too late J was getting ready for his shift and me being a smart ass texting him about my behavoir the last few days , He has made it quite clear that tommorow morning I should be good and ready for whats coming!!?Me being freakin me the texting continues, ready oh where are we going ? Cant wait !!! This does not make him happy and i know my bare ass will be up over his knee , witch starts as a warm up , then come off the pants and panties for the adjustment OUCH he smacks my white ass with his strong firm hand ensuring not to miss a spot once he feels its pink enough and warm up he will deliver a few sharp smacks with the wooden spoon , depending on how far i push today he will then take of his belt and10 or so straps across my already red and sore buttocks ohh just thinking about the quick sting . Then he investigates to ensure its red and hot and that my mouth is done with the attitude and utter rudeness . I can 100 percent gaurantee tommorow i will not be able to sit for a day or 2 after our last session , an hour later i walked by and quietly said uh guess what , it didnt hurt and I can sit shit shit shit did i seriously say that out loud ..?

While most women wouldn’t admit it beforehand, spanking can make almost any marriage much better … ever since we got in the lifestyle, our marriage has gotten so much better!!

I’m not married but I don’t believe in hitting, especially women.
I was regularly caned at school and unfortunately so regularly subsequently but always of hope that more masters and mistresses an prefects with adult pupils may make there prescience known. Either recieving or giving is euphoric. Love to hear. Regulation at mail dot com
I find it very telling that the comments on this article span over 8 years, with the latest only weeks ago. I found this article myself over 6 years ago, added my own experience and thoughts. And from time to time I come back and read more comments. While some are obviously pure fantasy, and others are just foolish, I do appreciate the real contributions from women and men who truely understand this dynamic.
My husband and I just celebrated our 22nd anniversary, and we’re still going strong. He’s been spanking me since before we were married and truth be told, I’ve deserved it every single time. I know society as a whole would frown harshly on my marriage, and I’ll admit I’ve let that get to me more than a few times and rebelled against my husbands authority. Thankfully he’s always seen it for what it was and didn’t let me spiral very far before bringing me back to reality, our reality. I would rather a trip over my husbands knee and the very sore bottom that follows, than a constant battle for control. I’m not meek, I speak my mind, have my own opinions and have never been afraid of sharing them. My husband doesn’t control me, but he doesn’t let me control him either. He just keeps us going in the right direction, towards happiness.
When I do something that jeopardizes that happiness, I get spanked. I can not only accept that, I can appreciate it and my husbands resolve to keep us whole and happy. While I may end up bare assed over my husbands knee and question my actions that got me there, I never question my husbands love for me or how secure I am in it. Isn’t that what we all want out of life? To feel loved, secure, safe and happy? For me, a spanking and sore butt are a small price to pay for feeling that way every single day.
“My husband doesn’t control me, but he doesn’t let me control him either.”
That sentence above reminds me of something one of my high school friends told me when the movie McClintock! hit the big screen. Knowing we had seen the movie, her very sage advice was that, while boys needed to be polite and respectful, they should never let girls run over them.
I regret that there are so few comments on this site, just a few a year. I think that the site is simply not widely known. There are other sites with lots of contributions and so I know that there is quite a wide interest in the practice of wife-spanking. Sorry that this one is not as well known as it should be.
What are the 3 d’s?
Dangerous, deceitful, disobedient, dishonest, disrespectful, or duplicitous. Take your pick.
That’s a good list, but disobedient, disrespectful, and deceitful pretty much cover everything. e.g. arguing too much comes under disobedient, being sarcastic or sassy comes under disrespectful, doing things surreptitiously comes under deceitful.
I know these are old posts but only seen them I Disipline my wife when needed old school method! Short cane bare OTK very effective
My husband says he can’t spank me because he doesn’t want to hurt me. I want spanked because I know I’m disrespectful sometimes and I pick fights. Mostly for attention. I just think if he would put me in my place when I act out we would have a better relationship. I need help getting him to understand my need for him to spank me. He says I challenge him to much like I’m trying to be the boss. I want him to be the man of the house I want to submit to him I just don’t know how to stop and I think If he would just discipline me I could learn.
I thought I already posted this, but I guess not.

Maybe if you explain that by not spanking you he’s hurting you in a different way, emotionally. He’s hurting your marriage by not addressing your unhappiness with how you treat him. From what I’ve gathered over the years of reading and soul searching, it’s usually the women who need to get spanked the most that fight it the hardest.
I’ve been guilty of it myself quite a few times over the years. Thinking that if I challenge him enough, he’ll back down and I’ll “win”. There were a couple times that I thought I did “win”, and instead of making me happy, I felt miserable and lost. Each time, I came to find out after the fact, my husband let me think I “won”, sometimes for days, because he wanted me to see for myself that it wasn’t what I really wanted. Then he’d spank the daylights out of me until I was a sobbing, babbling, limp mess, just hanging over his knee praying for it to end.
Most of the time, I consider myself extremely lucky that my husband loves me enough to not let me self destruct, or ruin what we have, most of the time…..I’ll admit there are times that I really don’t think I deserve a spanking, but I’ve come to accept that it’s not up to me to make that decision. Those are the hardest ones to submit to, but I still obey when he tells me to get over his knee, keep my butt up and hold still so he can give me the spanking he thinks I need.
I didn’t even realize until just now how his spanking me has progressed. At first he would have to force me into position and pin my legs down to spank me, with me protesting the whole time. Then he started making me put myself over his knee, though he’d still pin my legs down. Then he started telling me to hold still or he’d spank more, then he would actually do it until I started holding still. Now it’s to the point that when he tells me I’m getting a spanking, I pull down my own pants(stopped wearing panties years ago), go over his knee, stick my butt up until he’s satisfied, and hold my position the best I can through the whole thing. It almost feels like he makes me help him spank me by making sure every blow from the brush lands just where he wants.
Yes I think a firm spanking across ones husbands lap can be very much needed. yes it may be embarrassing to have ones skirt pulled up and ones panties pulled down, but often discipline is needed. Yes a girl may cry and cry, but in the end her behavior will be much better.
I think a husband giving a much needed spanking can be very effective.
Jeannie, have you found your utah county spanker?
I am spanked almost daily, always bare but and either with his hand, belt, or a leather paddle, sometimes a theee depending on my behavior. Recently I suffered a huge dissapointment that after a week of carring on he was fed up. He made me pull down my pants and panties and lay over his knee. He let me know until I could get my mind right again this was happening daily.He started with the paddle then the belt then the hand. I lost count after 30 and was crying and kicking and trying to block him. His solution is to put his leg over mine and force my hands away. After trying to block again he picked back up the belt and told me every time I block I would get five more even harder, he didn’t lie! My additude has changed and I’m accepting the disappointed event. It’s been three days of maintenance and I’m very soar but my mind is refocusing. He text me today and told me he will be home at 5 and I need to be bare bottomed and have a belt waiting for my session. He does not stop until I’m crying and then pushes on for several minutes after the tears flow. I hate being spanked it’s very painful and emotional, however it works for me. Once it’s over I feel more calm, more loving, and more focused. I am dreading 5:00 but know better then to try and get out of it.
