Dad spanked all of us when we got too unruly. It hardwired connection between 'love' and discipline for me, as well as felt good! Since there wasn't a lot of hugs and touching in the family, this became a model for interaction... Soon we all (two brothers and me) started to play prisoner games and explored other slave/captive roles... We all turned out kinky, though I couldn't tell you which side of the dom/sub divide they're on today.
