There are of course many kinds of spankings - disciplinary, sensual, recreational (paddlings at
fraternal organizations), dramatic, fun, erotic, etc. The problem for the spanking aficianado (or "spanko"
for short) is that many of these take place in private. I have probably managed to witness more spankings
between other people than most spankos, and yet I never saw a girl getting paddled in school (even
though it happened back in my school days) or by her sorority. (I did see two boys get paddled - not my idea
of a good time, let me tell you.) Sensual or otherwise erotic spankings tend to take place in the bedroom.
Public paddlings in bars are a very recent development and certainly never happened when I was a young man,
which is good because if they had I'd probably have developed a drinking problem from spending so much
time there! In the days before spanking magazines and videos, all these "private" spankings left us
with trying to find spankings in movies, television, comics, etc. But there was one kind of very public
spanking: the birthday spanking!
No one seems sure where or when the tradition started, but we see variations across Europe and
the Americas. One theory is that the spanking is for good luck. Another is that the spanking is
supposed to remind the birthday girl to be good all year. But whatever its origins, birthday spankings
are very often public, making them a great deal of fun for spankos like us! Indeed, the first spanking
I ever gave was at the age of six to a kindergarten classmate - a girl I was attracted to in a very
innocent way - and it took place right in class! Yep, in the old days we actually did fun things
in school without being suspended by the PC Police!

An old photo of Bettie Page turned into an animation, source unknown. These silly "kitten with a whip"
photos were considered very kinky back in the 1950's. This may have been from an Irving Klaw shoot.

Birthday spankings are very often given at birthday parties, and I've seen a few of those, too, as I
would assume most of us have. They vary considerably in quality and are most interesting if M/F,
but F/F may be more common in practice. The tradition calls for the number of spanks to be equal to
the birthday girl's age, plus one "to grow on". The hand is the implement most frequently employed, but
nowadays some birthday paddlings do take place in bars as we'll see shortly, and there the more
general rule is one swat (but it's a good one!). Because of the public surroundings, birthday spankings
are most generally given over clothes, with a girl's skirt sometimes being lifted so she can get it on
the seat of her panties. I have certainly been involved in a few private birthday paddlings, and in
such cases I make sure to (1) bare the bottom, and (2) make the "extra" swat one to be remembered!
Let's see some examples of birthday spankings in photos, drawings, animations, and videos, beginning with
at least the suggestion of one to come from Bettie Page, no less.

Here's another animated drawing of Bettie (I believe she's the intended model based on the bangs) from
someplace called Rude Mountain. Whether they were rude or not, they don't seem to be in business any
more and I have no idea why they created this back in 2000. Honestly, as much as I love Bettie, I can't
see her as the Top in a spanking scene, and it's not just because F/M isn't my thing - I see her as a natural
Sub even in a F/F scene. She was shown many times in both roles back in the 50's as I'm sure
CSR readers are aware. It's a matter of the personality she projects, although with sexual matters
one can never be sure - there are some faint hints that although not a true spanko, on rare occasions
Bettie did assume the Top role, and we'll leave it at that.

Here we have one of Richard Windsor's many
photographic finds and it is thought to depict a birthday spanking. The spankee's smile is consistent
with that, suggesting as it does that this was not a disciplinary spanking. I have no idea where this
took place, although I can state with a high degree of confidence that "S.I.C." does not stand for
Southeastern Illinois College. This could be a husband/wife photo, and the OTK positioning is
rather nice. I can't help wondering who the photographer was or how he happened to be johnny-on-the-spot.

Let's see some birthday paddling videos now. This first one took place at the Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas,
during a celebration of the spankee's 33rd birthday. One good thing about the swat she gets is that
she says "Owww!" several times like she means it - while rubbing her sore bottom! I think she also
says "Just like my dad" right at the end, implying she's received more than a few paternal spankings.

Somewhat similar is this scene with a birthday girl named Paige just having turned 21. Here we see her
bending over with her hands on a chair, awaiting the swat.

One more from the Hofbrauhaus in Las Vegas. This time the birthday girl is 29, and it's a nice
"pain delay" scene in which it takes a couple of seconds for her to show her full reaction to the
swat. Also, the waiter is a guy, so we finally have another M/F public paddling. One problem is that
the videographer apparently thought he was shooting a biblical spectacular instead of a birthday party,
and to get everyone in the scene he had to stand pretty far back - and with a low-resolution camera.
As an extra bonus attraction, the girl seated at the top left of the table must have ordered a shot also
because we get to see her get paddled as well.

Because of the problems with the videography, I made two attempts to improve it. In this first clip
we see the swat only in slow motion as we simulate the camera zooming in on the spankee.

In this second slow-motion replay of the swat I excised all the surrounding extraneous material, but
unfortunately could not improve the resolution. The spankee's expression as the sting of the paddle
sets in is still priceless!

Let's return to cartoons with one of the modern practitioners of the art form, Nik Zula. The
translation from the original Spanish may be rough, but it appears he based this gag on the old
singing telegram, where a messenger delivered the message by singing it. Younger people may not even
remember telegrams, let alone singing ones, but they used to be common enough, at least the non-signing
type. Apparently one ex-boyfriend decided to improve on the singing telegram by making it a spanking
telegram - with paddle! Possibly the ex-wife here won't be looking quite so pleased when she realizes
she's getting a good swat for every year. Bend over, my dear...

Here's a real-life example similar to the Nik Zula cartoon: a man applies a "Happy Birthday" paddle
to a lucky birthday girl. The paddling technique on display here leaves a lot to be desired, but
look at the participants' faces - they're both having a great time!
Although I put "Ellis" in the file name of the photo at right (below), I didn't remember the source nor
did I have it in my notes. Out of nowhere Sweetspot came to the rescue and identified it as
Joe E. Brown giving Patricia Ellis a birthday spanking on the set of the movie
Bright Lights from 1935. He also names Richard Windsor as the ultimate
source for these photos,
although I'm sure someone else appropriated them, putting them on his own web site, and that's where I found
the second one. (If I had known they were Richard's, I would have had both of them in my files and I
would have tagged them with "Windsor" which is my usual practice when I download his photos).
It appears that Chross has an
entry for this movie
in his data base. Thus if I have the credits straight, Richard Windsor found the photos, Chross identified
them as coming from the set of Bright Lights (it's not a scene from the film, which had no spankings),
and Sweetspot identified the spanker as Joe E. Brown - that's some teamwork!

Joe E. Brown presents Patricia Ellis with a nice bouquet of flowers for her birthday. It's
not clear whether she's noticed the big paddle in his left hand yet.(click to enlarge).

"Now here's something else for your birthday, Patricia!" Photos from Richard Windsor with

Our next example is also from Richard Windsor,
that indefatigable searcher of photographic records. There is a very sweet innocence about this
scene featuring three young people that was a characteristic of the 1950's. The photo is identified
as "Green Years Westwood Birthday Spanking 1959". Interestingly, two boys are providing a double-length
lap for the young lady to be turned over, both of them armed with Jokari paddles! (I'm an expert on
paddles, but not Jokari. However, my brief research suggests these two may go back to the 40's, which
must be close to the beginning of the game.)
It's too bad the first boy's paddle obscures the second's face, but it's obvious that all three are
having a very good time!

Bubba's bar is apparently a place where women get the paddle on their birthdays. Unlike the
Hofbrauhaus, which took paddles originally intended for serving drinks and started using them for spanking,
Bubba's paddle was clearly modeled on the standard fraternity-sorority design. Someone did paint "Happy
Birthday" on it, our third example of this practice here. Three women, including his cute blonde
bartender Ashley, get paddled during this four-minute clip. Bubba normally did the paddling himself
(an innkeeper after my own heart), but for some strange reason he deputizes a dark-haired girl to
give Ashley a swat. When the weak stroke is applied, the audience starts booing (good for them) and
Bubba tells Ashley to bend over, which she does, whereupon he gives her a decent swat himself!
What's the story with the dark-haired girl and her pathetic swat? She says afterward, "I didn't want
to hurt her cute tushie." The audience's reaction - booing - is very interesting, as it indicates
that these presumably vanilla customers understand that even the nicest spanking needs to sting
a bit if it's to have any meaning.

For the final section of this tribute, we'll focus on a special sub-category of birthday spankings,
namely Son Spanks Mother. I have remarked several times over the years that if children are
to be involved in spankings (a bad idea) it would be far healthier for boys to spank grown women than
for grown women to spank boys. (See my article
The Whys of Spanking Chapter 4, for a detailed
explanation). But apart from the issue of psychological health, it turns out that
"Son Spanks Mother" turns up occasionally both in art and, somewhat more surprisingly, in real life!
We begin with an animation from Jon (Uasketcher) which features his frequent use of a camera
or actual person to witness the spanking and so increase its humiliation.

Jon actually focused quite a bit of his attention on intra-family spankings although we only had one
example of them (Brady Bunch Spanking) at the time we created our
Memorial Gallery
to him back in 2011. We'll be adding those works of his we found later, including some more Son/Mother
spankings, at some future date.

O.K., so mothers getting birthday spankings in cartoons is one thing - what about real life? Well, thanks
to one rather unusual (but happy!) family, we can now enjoy videos of a good son giving his mother her
46th, 47th, and 48th birthday spankings!
Mom is a really good sport here, bending over to receive her whacks, and the whole family appears
normal, happy, and well-adjusted. I don't know if there's a lesson here, but the spankings don't
do Mom any harm and the boy will be better prepared to assume the dominant role in his future
relationships with women.

I hope you'll agree with me that these are remarkable videos. Not for the videography - in the 47th
Birthday one, the cameraman twice rotated the camera 90 degrees, which works fine for still pictures but
not video and I had to straighten it out when I edited the thing - and Dad does some goofy narration in
#48, but for the facts that (1) The son spanks the mother, and (2) They put the film out on YouTube!

Not really hard spankings, of course, but the boy's getting a little stronger each year, and Toni
(the mom) cries out twice in the last one (after swats 40 and 49) and rubs a little at the end. I also
hope CSR readers will agree with me that she's cute and spankable! If I only knew where they lived,
I'd be happy to send them a nice wooden paddle to make her next birthday the most memorable of all!
