Disclaimer: In no way does this author intend to push spanking as a lifestyle. There is a long and colourful history to those who pursue spanking, whether it is used as a method of discipline or foreplay to sex. There is a rather large community of people who join spanking sites and the reasons are myriad. There are many flavours and textures to those who either want to be spanked or want to be the spanker. If this author meanders down politically incorrect roads, do not take it personally. This is not intended to convert anyone's belief system nor is this intended to make a societal statement. The game is marketing.

"People who are turned on by spankings get very excited when they read spanking stories." |
There's also Female/female which doesn't seem to have as large an audience as Male/female and Female/male. For the purposes of this article, we will leave it at that.
There is one segment of today's market that could explode your pocketbook, if ever there were a content provider who would shoot the pics. Male/male. They don't have to be gay, however they can be. It can be parent/older child, as in 18. This is not about pedophilia. Older man/younger man. Teacher/student. Lover/lover. Boss/employee. Friend/friend. Any combination that includes domestic discipline would sell to an audience that is starving.
People who are into spanking DO read. Picture stories are a fantastic marketing tool. Implements aren't the issue here. It's all about her/him being naughty in some way that is either defined or implied. There can be a list of rules that he or she has to follow. Break the rule. Go over his/her knee. Get a bare bottomed spanking. The variations to this scene are numerous. Corner time. The punishee having to get the implement. There is ritual involved. The threat. The anticipation. The words of "you've been very naughty'.

Rituals are especially important, regardless of whether this is a lifestyle arrangement or bedroom foreplay games. The setting of the scene is essential. It's not just a matter of a guy coming into a room, throwing her over his knee and beating her black and blue. That is violence, pure and simple. Not spanking. There are words to be said. Key words that are part of the excitement. Naughty. Bare bottom. Get the Paddle. Stand in the Corner. Pull down your panties. Come here. There are facial expressions that are necessary. Stern look. Beckoning with the index finger. Hands on hips. Anger, not fury. Disappointment.
For the one being spanked, looks of contrition or the notion of being caught doing something 'wrong'. Mild defiance. Reluctance. Trying to get out of it, but not trying too hard. Admitting the need for discipline. While over the knee is very popular, there are many positions for a spanking. Bent over a chair or bed. Touching one's toes or knees. Hands against the wall, bottom sticking out. The spanking can start over clothing, but progresses to bare. Always.
People who are turned on by spankings get very excited when they read spanking stories. The problem here is that most erotic writers include sex when the person who is reading the story merely wants to hear about what led up to the spanking, the spanking itself and the aftermath, usually corner time and cuddling and a promise to behave. Even for those who use spanking as foreplay to sex. The sex is a given, not the focus.
This article is not meant to discredit women's rights to be equivalent with their partners. Or men with their partners. The numbers of the amount of men and women who fantasize about being spanked or spanking another is astoundingly high. It's just not admitted very often in public. Mainly because of the abuse implications and the political climate of today.
In conclusion, there is a market for spanking. Regardless of your personal feelings toward the act, there are people out there who will pay to see spanking pics, watch spanking movies, and read spanking stories. The surfer will join AND stay. Their chargeback ratio is very low, especially with female/male and they are very loyal members, as long as there are steady updates.
