Although my kink is a huge part of me, I find it difficult to be too serious about it and I think this word both reflects my primary interest and has a nicely light-hearted feel to it.<br /><br />I can see why some people might find it a bit too informal or frivolous, but then having become more familiar with 'the scene' in the last few years I've learned that for serious players terminology can be very important.<br /><br />I guess every group with a shared interest tends to develop its own jargon. I try to avoid terms like Dom/ Domme/ Top/ bottom/ sub for fear of tripping myself up in serious scene company. :)Underlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796851292291694070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-58678065173074953832014-05-04T11:53:57.183-04:002014-05-04T11:53:57.183-04:00If people are happy to use it I say fair enough, p...If people are happy to use it I say fair enough, personally I'm against using one word to describe a complex and diverse group and this applies to anything not just spanko.Simonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-27291079836473898682014-05-04T11:51:38.211-04:002014-05-04T11:51:38.211-04:00I don't recall what I said seven years ago, bu...I don't recall what I said seven years ago, but I have no issue with the word spanko.

It's actually rather intelligent. ;-)<br /><br />I too am not a "spanko" in the terms of spanking being the only thing that turns me on, it's primarily the dominance. I love that feeling in the pit of your stomach that you're "in trouble" that you're going to be "taken in hand" that you're under the control of this other person. *chills* But I like the word, I think it's cute. ;-)Pollyhttp://hisunsubmissiveyounglady.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178998232488314107.post-43680406618675677992014-05-04T09:26:29.444-04:002014-05-04T09:26:29.444-04:00I have no problem with the word, especially when t...I have no problem with the word, especially when talking with like minded folks.

I don't really consider myself into spanking, as much as into having a wife who uses spanking to keep me in line. Spanking is the means for me, not the end. So, the term "spanko" doesn't quite fit for me personally. But, for those for whom the spanking itself is what they're into, and they don't consider themselves a "submissive" or some other term with a more D/s connotation, "spanko" seems as good as any.
