SPANKING POWER EXCHANGE
This page is about a major aspect of the mental element of spanking * . The term " power exchange " has had a lot written about it the S&M/B&D world and is generally used in a lifestyle context . This is not so relevant to spanking ( with the exception of some SPENCER or SPANKOZ PLAN participants ) . Most spankings take place within a limited time frame .
Power is used in the sense of one person giving another authority to spank them ( " submission " ) . This does not mean that the recipient is inferior .
This giving of power is akin to sexual submission , but there may or may not , be a sexual side to the spanking .
Non consensual spankings involve a different form of exchange and are really cases of the dominance of one person over another . Even here they may be consent in the form of a general empowerment of the dominant person . This can be a pleasurable situation for the " submissive " person to be in .
Many people have spanking preferences or taboos which affect the position they assume . Examples are men who will only spank women and will not receive spankings . Women who will spank men and receive ( called " switches " as they will switch roles ) . There are many variations , women who will not be spanked by someone who they have spanked , for example .
This exchange of power , authority or whatever you call it is one of the great enjoyments in spanking . The active pursuit of a recipient can be a high point in this area . ( An example of the sort of power and mind games that can be engaged in is shown on the Katharine Hepburn page .
The ability to consent to freely receiving pain from another , not to move away and to remain in position signifies a high level of personal control and hence power . For others they prefer restraint and granting this additional power to another is a big part of being spanked .
Even
the sheer number of variations in power relationships can be a major
factor in gaining spanking pleasure .

Some other mental aspects are ; the ability to control their reactions
to pain etc , to how others may feel about the participants if their
interest in spanking was known , to having the spanking watched by
others , to partial or full nudity or exposure , the ability to role
play etc .
