Pre-net spankos

Let me say one thing, the internet, for spankos or other alternative lifestyles, is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Life before the net, for me as a spanko, was a nightmare. Alot of Time wasted in porn shops looking for magazines that dealt with the lifestyle. They were rare, very rare, the ones you did find were usually poorly written and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out they were made by vanillas. Personals were even rarer unless you happened to live in a big city.
There was alot of fem-dom material out there, but the male top wasn't catered to much. MR magazine carried alot of letters to the editor on the subject, but thier pictorals were all mainstream. I could always find alot of personals for either coast, but chicago was pretty much vanilla.
Spanking and sadism was pretty much taboo. Strictly forbidden, a subject even the most open minded looked at you like you were some kind of sicko if you even mentioned it. If I did happen to meet someone who looked or even showed the slightest inkling towards spanking, I learned to keep my mouth shut for fear of being branded a sicko. (in those days, it was placed in the same catagory as child molesters,much like homosexuals were)
Since the net has come about, people have read more and more and become more accepting of it. The old fear that because you were a spanko (sicko) you might molest children or do anything, disappeared.
Sites began to appear on the net, run by spankos, about spanking. Thru the net personals you could actually meet like minded people. Finally you came to realize you weren't some sick perverted molestor, as the past had brought you to believe.
At recent parties I've attended, there have been more and more younger people coming. Another testimony to the net. I think it's great that they can be open with it, not sneak around feeling dirty and perverted. Feeling frustrated and having to settle for things they don't want or don't fulfill thier needs.
So next time ya think of the good old days, think deeper lol

Til the next time
