Sane, gay guy, retired, discreet, single. missed out on spanking as a kid. Have tried exploring this since as an adult, not a lot of luck with that. Still want to explore spanking with others guys, give and take, from mild to whatever we decide. Growing up all my neighborhood and school buddies were punished with their dad's razor strop, and I think even as a young kid, despite hearing a number of their lickings being delivered, I actually envied them. Dad actually had a strop, but never put it to use on our butts. As a result, the strop still rates high with me as a punishing implement, there are others. I've experienced the business end of a strop as an adult (not recently) and put the strop to use on a few guys' butts over the years. Hoping it's not too late to explore both sides of the strop again.
