What first got you interested in cp, first reading and talking about it and then experiencing it, either as a top or a bottom, in adult life? In my case it was definitely being caned at my Scottish boarding school, sometimes over school uniform shorts or trousers, sometimes on the bare buttocks (if I was wearing the kilt that day). I was scared of the cane and the pain it caused but I also found it increasingly exciting as time went on and seeing the ridged weals on other boys bottoms in the changing room or the showers after they had been beaten was a big turn-on. I was also turned on by knowing that other boys were looking at my own cane-marks. Now I am a Londoner in my mid-60s and an experienced sub/bottom who often craves the cane (sometimes the birch as well altho I was never birched at school). Most younger people can't have been caned or had other kinds of cp at school as it was abolished long ago, but yet many of them seem as keen on adult consensual cp as ever. What got you into the cp scene if you were never beaten at school (or probably never at home either)?
