	'''Erotic spanking''' is the practice of ] another for the sexual gratification of either or both parties. Erotic spanking can be regarded as a form of ] activity.
	<br/>Representations of erotic spanking and its close relative, flagellation, make up a large portion of Victorian pornography (see ''1000 Nudes'', by Koetzle, and ''The Other Victorians'', by Steven Marcus). As Marcus details, this was done not merely for the reasons practiced today, but because it provided a way for men to express homosexual fantasies. Homosexual pornography was unacceptable at this period in history, so the closest gay men could get was a masculinized female taking power over another man, or a figure representing another man. Literally hundreds of thousands of engravings, photographs, and/or literary depictions of spanking and flagellation (a. k. a. birching) fantasies circulated during the Victorian era, including erotic novellas like ''Lady Bumtickler's Revels'', ''The Whippingham Papers'', or ''An Exhibition of Female Flagellants''.*<br/>

	Spanking appeals particularly to those who are physically under sensitive, and need more active arousal to stimulate erogenous zones than mere touching. Also, the loud sound of spanking can stimulate the emotions through startling both participants.

	Positions for spanking include:
	* over the knees (OTK) or across the lap
	* stooped over a chair or couch, or bench
	* on hands and knees (bed or floor)
	* kneeling on a bed or ottoman, stooped over with hands on the floor
	* bent under the arm of the spanker
	* lying face down on a bed

	Those interested in giving or receiving erotic spankings are sometimes (rarely) known as ''spankophiles''. Examples include the poet ] (as implied repeatedly in his poetry) and the philosopher ], as detailed in his autobiography ''Confessions.''

	A few people with a sexual interest in ] draw on historical ] techniques used in homes, schools, courts or prisons. However they are generally careful to distinguish their consensual sexual activities from their views of ], ] and ]. ] and erotic spankings are easy to to separate, as punishment spanking usually involve the spankee experiencing medium to extreme physical discomfort or pain in the administration of the spanking, sometimes to the point of crying, which in the context of ], is a form of emotional release and behavioral modification, and/or mental/physical control over the spankee by the spanker.

	== Playful non-erotic spanking ==

	Sometimes spanking is done in a playful manner that is neither a form of punishment nor is it intended as an erotic act. A tradition that often begins with childhood and can continue to adulthood is a "birthday spanking". This type of spanking is most often associated with a birthday celebration during which sometimes the person celebrating the birthday is spanked playfully, one time for each year of their life - and then some more "to be good on and to grow on," sometimes also "for luck and for love." It is not meant to hurt or overly humiliate the spanked party (although sometimes a paddle is used, and occasionally it is given on the bare bottom). Often the act is also associated with sports participants, who congratulatorily slap one another on the bottom.{{citation-needed}}

	It is a fairly common practice in the United States for a ] to spank the groom-to-be during his ], while his drunk friends cheer her on. This can be done either on the stage at a strip club or by a stripper or strippers hired for a private bachelor party.{{citation-needed}}

	More rarely, at her wedding shower a bride-to-be is given a "gag gift" such as a pair of pink panties that say "Remove before spanking" on the back; and her friends may threaten to have her "try them out" (by having them spank or paddle her) to "see how they work." Similarly, the groom may as a gag be given a paddle with step-by-step "How to spank your wife" instructions painted on it.{{citation-needed}}
