Spankophile
From Spanking Art
A spankophile (or spanko) is a person who likes to get spanked, to spank, to watch while someone gets spanked, to fantasize about spanking, to read spanking stories, to view spanking art, and/or to watch spanking videos, etc.
Spankos are usually spanking fetishists, i.e. they find these spanking-related activities erotic. Spanking fetishism is also known as spankophilia.
Spankos can be male or female, adults, teenagers, or children. Preteen spankophiles are often not aware that their interest in spanking is of a sexual nature until they reach puberty.
Being a spankophile does not imply that getting spanked is not felt as a punishment by this person. Even for a passive (bottom) spanko, a spanking has to be given in the right way (and often, by the right person) in order to be enjoyable.

[edit] Creative spankos
The people who like to create spanking art, literature, and videos - the artists, authors and models - are usually also spankos who add a creative, artistic side to their interest.
According to Sigmund Freud, people with a strong paraphilia can turn their paraphilic kink into creativity by a process called sublimation - the refocusing of psychic (erotic) energy to "social useful" outlets, mainly art. Freud considered this defense mechanism the most productive compared to the others that he identified: repression, displacement, denial, reaction formation, intellectualization and projection.
[edit] Celebrity spankos
Celebrities who are known or strongly suspected of being spankos include:
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712 – 1778), Swiss-French philosopher
- Algernon Swinburne (1837 – 1909), English poet
- James Joyce (1882 – 1941), Irish writer and poet
- Robert E. Howard (1906 – 1936), American fantasy and horror writer
- Jack Nicholson (born 1937), American actor, nicknamed "Spanking Jack"
- Ramsey Campbell (born 1946), British horror writer
- Elizabeth Hurley (born 1965), English actress, fashion model, producer and designer (rumored to be a spanko and host spanking parties)
[edit] Spankos in spanking literature
Spankos themselves are often portrayed in spanking literature. In stories on consensual spanking, the characters are usually both spankos. In some nonconsensual stories, the spanker is a spanko while the spankee is not. For example, in Lurking Dragon's Melody's Stories, the protagonist Melody is given in the custody of spanko parents. The are a few rare stories where the spanker is not a spanko and treating the spanking as a NC spanking, but with the spankee secretly a spanko having deliberately provoked the spanking.
However there are also NC stories in which neither the spanker nor the spankee is a spanko: the spankings in these are purely disciplinary in nature and not enjoyed by either character.
