Spanking - 1950s Household.

I'm just curious roughly what percent of the people that enjoy this unique dynamic are interested in the 50s household, fashion, lifestyle and era? No real point to my question other than I'm always interested in what shapes us as human beings, how things are interrelated and of course that applies to peoples intimate lives as well.

Because of the era that it was, most conversation revolving around the "1950s Household" (as a fetish) would be primarily male dominated. Meaning patriarchal rule, influenced by the times, religion and so forth. I think in fact, the reality was a bit different.

(I'm not making this next point/comment in a lighthearted fashion...not at all. Obviously the 50s were immediately preceded by the 40s and the horrors of WW2. Somewhere in the vicinity of a half million US soldiers died, millions wounded in one form or another. Additionally,  we all know of the racism, oppression of gays, women and everything else that existed in that era. And for the record I do not think people should hit kids...at all.)

There were many households runs by women (above is just one potential example) and as people tended to stay where they were born more so then, and families were larger, no doubt many young men grew up surrounded by older sisters, older female cousins, aunts, grandmothers and mother. And in most cases women stayed at home and ran the household, often also delegating the chores such as gardening, chopping wood (wood shed?) tending various livestock (pigs, chickens, milk cows etc) as many people lived on small homestead type farms.

So, I think there was a great deal of influence by women. Kids were generally watched closely, by their own relatives and the women from next door and down the street who had a very similar lifestyle. Proper manners and respect was not only expected, but demanded. And there would have been no shortage of able bodies women around to enforce rules and apply discipline when needed. And as many know, many young men (even into early teens) were subjected to a variety of discipline measures. My point is just that its quite possible that many young people were shaped by this. In some good ways, and in some bad ways. Times were hard. But one could consider that this version of a strong "mother figure" might factor into the development of quite a few peoples fantasies.....and later reality.
