Aunty Agony

Aunty was delighted to see this cover from the Georgia Strait, a Vancouver-based weekly newspaper.

The lead story, (at the upper right of the couple) appears to be somewhat sensationalist, with headlines screaming out to potential readers: "Got Sex?"

But, if you read on, the sub-head states:

"For a growing number of young adults, swinging (they'd better be careful not to damage park toys - the kids will be very sad -ed.) and spankings (emphasis added) trump monogamy and the missionary position."

Now Aunty is always cynical about newspaper articles trumpeting trends with little hard evidence. But there does seem to be an up-swing (no pun intended - ed.) in recreational spanking among young people seeking more exciting, less mainstream ways of expressing their sexuality.

Proof of this can be found all over Aunty's own little blog.

Have readers noticed an increase in spanking interest and play among the "youth of today?"

Thanks to Jay for alerting Aunty to this story.
