..........and i can tell you that most of them were well earned by the bratty young woman i was dating

.
I meant the latter, Phil, just like the ones you gave during high school - further confirmation of my theory, I'd say

I'm pretty sure that I did not witness a major M/F spanking in person that would've shaped my psyche... but I was part of the generation that had a TV in the house almost since birth. (My parents bought their first when I was one year old.) I clearly remember seeing Ricky spank Lucy and I have slightly fuzzier memories of the spanking on Topper and the one on Tales of Wells Fargo. Considering how many there were in the '50s, I probably saw some others too.
That would've been early childhood, but I also remember that McLintock! made a lasting impression on me at the age of ten. I was still too young to know what an erection was or what it meant, but I can sure remember feeling an excitment and a tingle "down there" whenever I saw a newspaper ad or a preview showing Maureen O'Hara in a corset and pantaloons, turned over the Duke's knee!
Interesting question, b00m. We middle-aged guys were probably the first generation to grow up with television - glorious, black & white, three channels, and no-remote-control television

! When I devised TE theory and thought about witnessed spankings, I had live spankings in mind because these were also quite common for our generation

. But it's quite possible that a spanking on TV might serve,
provided it occurred at an early-enough age (the primary TE always occurs in early childhood). Could a TV spanking serve as a secondary TE? I think it's definitely possible, although live scenes seem more strongly implicated, perhaps because the older child can more clearly differentiate between the fantasy of television and the real life of, say, school. Hence the great interest in paddling and caning, which clearly come from school experiences (secondary TE's).
So I would conclude that one of the
very early TV spankings you saw (probably the first one) could have been the primary TE in your case. Your response to the classic spanking in
McLintock!, like mine to the spankings in
Look for the Silver Lining and
Kiss Me Kate I think demonstrates that two young spankos had already been created

, but were probably not strong enough to function as secondary TE's. Obviously my own love of paddling must have developed in some other way, and I suspect that as good as the scene in
McLintock! was, it still didn't change any of your nascent spanking desires, although I'm sure it must have been exciting for you to see.

Understood. As you know, the primary reason I post so much F/F superhero stuff is that it's the most common orientation for some reason. My habit is to save the best for last, and so the last of the three
Lara Croft spankings will be M/F, and out of the remaining 10
Kim Possible spankings, 3 will be F/F and 7 will be M/F, a balance I'm sure will be more to your liking
