One of the aims of the book is to help remove “hypocrisy, ignorance and prejudice.” All of a person’s personal foibles and habits are often seen as strange at times by others and if this book can make people a bit more tolerant, as well as be amused by moments and incidents that different situations through up then that is a good thing. As one lady said to her partner, “You haven’t spanked me in over three weeks. Is something wrong?” I was aware from an early age of my own interest in spanking, I was always slightly embarrassed by it, thinking it very strange. I always felt very self-conscious when watching spanking scenes in movies or TV shows, if anyone else was present I always worried that they might notice how avid my interest was. As I got older, I became aware my interest was not that unusual, and that many other shared it. The material on offer that dealt with the subject was not, however, particularly enticing to me. There were the rather sleazy men's magazines that dealt with the subject, but they were so obviously aimed at men, and much of the material they contained was so unattractive, that it didn't do much for me. Fictional books that touched on the subject of submission and dominance, like Story of O and John Norman's Gor books, were too bizarre and extrem for my taste. Then when I was about 25 I read the first serious non-fiction book I had ever seen on the subject The English Vice, by Ian Gibson. This did not do much to make me feel better about my fascination with the subject. Mr Gibson's opinion in unequivical, that the desire to spank or be spanked is a vicious perversion and evidence of a sick and warped mind. This didn't actually put me off being spanked, but it didn't do anything to alleviate the vaguely guilty and embarrassed feelings I had about it. I didn't think I was really sick and warped, but Mr Gibson thought I was.
