I don't really remember any times being spanked, though I know I was. But I do remember the time my dad put my head through the drywall for reasons I don't remember, and the savage beating my mom gave me when I told her I didn't want to go to church anymore. Those definitely fucked me up. Especially the latter, when I got older and realized I was queer.

Preachers kid who also turned out to be queer. I was terrified of getting spanked. Years of my parents telling me my ass was part of my private area and no one should ever touch it then my father pulling my underwear down and spanking me seriously fucked me up.
