We desire to spank or be spanked quite apart from any other aspect of life. We are of every nationality, every race, and every political conviction. And we are of every religious persuasion. Some of us see no contradiction between our spanking desires and our search for the divine. Some of us see spanking as a gift to us from the divine! Others, however, struggle to reconcile our religious beliefs, or our spiritual convictions, with our affinity for spanking.
I’m not selling religion. I appreciate the positive contributions religion has made, but I abhor the harms it has caused. I am horrified by the revelations of abuse of children by Catholic priests, and I sympathize with those adults who remember being beaten as children in religious schools.
There isn’t a lot on the web (or anywhere else, as far as I know) about religion and spanking. One exception – there is an explicitly religious site, CDD (Christian Domestic Discipline), http://www.christiandomesticdiscipline.com/. This site pairs spanking and religion; “it is intended to provide support and encouragement for those who believe in traditional Christian marriage, with the husband as the head of the household, and the wife as his helpmeet.” It promotes a Domestic Discipline marriage “in which one partner is given authority over the other, and has the means to back up that authority, usually by spanking.” This is a terrific resource for people for whom this approach is appropriate, and I’m happy to publicize it. If this works for you, you need go no further!
CDD isn’t for everyone, not even for all Christians. If you are a Christian, but want to experience female dominance in the bedroom, or female equality in the rest of your lives, the CDD approach may not work for you. Fortunately, there are other possibilities, both organized and do-it-yourself.
I have heard some disturbing stories about relationships in which the man claims he’s disciplining his wife under Biblical authority but what he’s doing is really emotional, or even physical, abuse. Consensual religious marital relationships are fine; nonconsensuality is unacceptable, whether one partner invokes the Bible or not.
This web site is open to all convictions, and here I offer a space for discussion. I hope you’ll share with me, and with your fellow readers, your thoughts about the interaction between your religious or spiritual beliefs and your sexual preferences. Tell me your reflections – I’ll post them here. If we share our convictions, and our hopes and fears, we lovers of spanking may help each other as we move closer to divinity.
