A nice fantasy. Also a good way to go to jail, which has happened.

I agree with Spanknutt.  Don't ever do this for real.    

[danadares]

I have a difficult time even enjoying this as a fantasy. I like fantasies that are still believable scenarios in the real world, and it seems it's beyond my ability to make this one work.

I’ve tried to make this work a couple of times in stories that I’ve written—often in response to requests. It’s tough and they are usually among the least favorite of the stories I’ve written—except when I can introduce some sort of twist.

[AskMeAsh]

I wanna try it

[Shelly32]

I’ve had boss that is trust to use spanking as punishment. Not as described here though. A more work appropriate spanking, just had to bend over  the back of an office chair. I got spanked with a yard stick ruler. It wasn’t sexual, it was a reprimand for attitude towards an task assignment.

In a real workplace, no, no, no! It wouldn't be consensual and it would be VERY illegal.

I get spanked for work related reasons by my boss. It doesn’t take place at work (except once after hours when no one was there) it’s 100% consensual because she’s my friend and I trust her.

I had an actual boss threaten to spank me. He was a former marine who was fit, good looking, and charismatic. He owned a historic guest lodge near a national park, and I had just been hired as a front desk attendant. While still in training, I missed a step in the booking process of a reservation, at which point he made a playful but rather cocky threat to spank me.

Sounds like a dream scenario, right? It wasn't. I quit shortly after that. It's highly unlikely that he would have carried out that threat, knowing the legal trouble it could cause him. But I wasn't going to hang around to find out. While the idea of it makes for a great fantasy, when it actually happened, it felt like a violation of boundaries and a warning sign to me that this was a door through which the wrong person could try to gain access to someone sexually. 

No such thing as a former Marine.  But I am glad you quit.  That comment sends red flags

Chuckling... There's no such thing as an ex-marine. The proper term for a marine no longer on active duty, who has returned to civilian life, is former marine.  Marine Corps University has service information on "Former Marines" right on their website, so it remains a correct term. But I think I know what you meant. 

[zoominglady]

I stand corrected.  But yes, you know what I was getting at.  My apologies for overstepping.

[Bramblewine]

Unless anyone here is a no longer active Marine and cares whether we call them former or ex or anything else, it's really a moot point, isn't it?

I suppose I could ask that question of my uncle who is a retired Marine... without mentioning exactly where I heard it!

[Ispank4pleasure]

No it is not a moot point.  improperly addressing someone unnecessarily may offend someone.  Why would you do that?

Oh no, I think for full context you need to let him know EXACTLY how this came up... 😅

It's offensive when you knew how they preferred to be addressed and deliberately didn't follow their preference. It's not so offensive when you didn't know the proper address for them and could not have reasonably been expected to know. 

In this case, no one in this thread has self identified as a no longer active Marine (former or ex or retired or whatever the proper term is), and the proper term for a no longer active Marine is obscure enough that people who've never been Marines rarely know what it is. I don't even know, and I have an uncle who was a career Marine.

And note that I started with an unless. Unless someone in this thread is a no longer active Marine and does find using the wrong term offensive, us arguing about it is a moot point. If anyone here is a no longer active Marine and cares what term we use, it's up to them to educate us.

Holy crap this would be incredible, but in the US at least it cannot come to pass. Other countries it definitely could.

Hahaha!

Sadly, I'll never get to ask him anything, as it turns out. He died in his sleep last night.

And it would be to the detriment of all involved, should it come to pass in those other countries.

There's a world of difference between consensual and non-consensual spanking. Even if they look the same on paper.

Oh gosh, I am so so sorry. I'm glad he went peacefully, though.

There are a lot of places where corporal punishment including spanking is used in the work place. A LOT. Some of it is consensual, most of it is abuse. 
 

There is a ton.

Then surely you can give examples.

1. China - super common there even among white collar employees (tons of stories about this) 

2. South America- it’s a matriarch society and in small businesses grandma is known to law the law down. 

3. Most militaries around the world deploy some sort of physical discipline. The US military does dowel training as a consequence. 

4. I’m sure I could go pull a million other examples

It’s “former”.  My uncle had a career as a Marine, and when he retired, he insisted that he was not an ex Marine, he was a former Marine.  I don’t know if this is just a Semper Fi thing or if it applies to all members of the armed forces but I do remember him being strict on this, like it was disrespectful to say “ex” Marine.

[BansheeGal]

There was a time when I worked for someone I know extremely well and trust implicitly. I was often late and lacked focus. I recall standing in the bathroom one day, (imagining being bent over the sink for a spanking) almost working up the courage to bring it up and ask to be spanked in the evenings if I was late to work in the morning. It would have happened too I'm sure as that person did give me a few spankings at other times outside of work not too long after that. They shut the business down before I got courageous enough to ask for it in that setting though. 

That said, that was a unique situation. In a normal job, while I might love the idea in theory/fantasy, it would not work well in practice. Issues of consent, power dynamics, abusers who seem to always end up as managers for some reason, etc. would nix the whole thing. 

It would make for a really good story though. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

I do see myself being spanked for bad work habits at some point and since I am self-employed and work from home, I guess that would technically be like being spanked at work... 

Perhaps the answer is to have a "boss spanking surrogate". Someone to spank you at home for things your boss would have spanked you for at work if that were a thing.

Someone had better tell journalists that. The other day there was a headline in my local newspaper that used the phrase "Ex Marine" in reference to a retired Marine. No telling what the retired Marine in the news story thought of that, since it was about his death (he intervened in a robbery and got killed).

I wonder if that's a real rule, or if it was just your uncle's rule.
