Drop your pants and bend over!

"Drop your pants and bend over!" 

How many of us boys have heard that?  The command from our "dads" to lower our trousers and underpants and present our bared bottoms for some stinging discipline.

The order to "bend over," signals a clear delination in the typical dad/boy relationship.

Whatever had been happening up to that point, the "bend over," signals that is now at an end.

Dad is  now fully resuming his dominant role.  The boy has the choice to obey his dad, or rebel and perhaps fracture the relationship.

For myself, the choice was always clear.  I obeyed.  I pulled my pants down to bare my bottom and I cooperatively bent over so that my bottom was conveniently positioned for the upcoming spanking.

And that was it!  I got my bottom spanked and peace and harmony were restored to the household.

But why?

I think there is something very calming to most dads, seeing the bare bottom of a boy awaiting the administration of correction.

No matter the prior problems, a dutifully presented bottom will lower the tension and improve the general atmosphere.

For the boy too, the act of bending over clearly signals his acceptance of the normal status quo of the dad/boy relationship.

The actual spanking to follow acts as therapy for both dad and boy.

For the dad, it allows him to safely relieve any frustrations he may feel over the boy's behavior or attitude.  Spanking a boy's bottom is painful for the boy but ultimately safe - better some localized trauma to a boy's rear than continuing stress to the relationship.

For us boys, bending over and getting a spanking from dad puts us back in the correct frame of mind.

Most of us know fully well when we are being naughty or disrespectful and getting a spanking reassures us that dad still cares enough about us and the relationship to bend us over and paddle our bottoms.

Once the spanking is over things are back to normal, with the exception of that the boy has a sore bottom.

Dad is satisfied that the boy has paid the price for misbehaving and the boy has acknowledged his mistakes by freely accepting being disciplined by his dad.

Happiness and peace has been restored to the household by the simple act of the boy baring his bottom and bending over before his dad.

I have had to bend over bare-bottomed more times than I care to remember.  While I can say that I certainly never enjoyed the experience and certainly not the sound spanking that always followed, I never felt any resentment afterwards.  I knew that dad was acting in my best interest and when the next time arrived and I was told to bend over - I knew I would obey.

I'll leave you with a few more images of me "bent over" and I hope they serve to calm the nerves of the dads!
