Age regression and spanking

As a topic this sometimes divides people in a way that goes beyond the arguments that rage over the subject of spanking in connection with actual biological age children.
To me I don't age play because I am looking for a spanking and I don't look at spanking  because I want to be involved in age play because the big thing both have in common is allowing my emotionally real inner kid out and letting her play is a part of my healing for what I can only truthfully describe as a troubled upbringing that has lead to a troubled life.
The thing by being little me is it allows me to do the things I want to do rather than masking in attempt to portray and adult albeit one who can't act that role right but because I have the vulnerabilities you would associate with an actual child  and some of negative behaviour patterns that a troubled child would exhibit but which in an adult form people struggle to handle.
In essence one important thing I'm not so much wanting but needing from this experience is age play guardians or parents who will guide and raise me more like the Inner Child  in adult wrapping I am but using a age play setting so I am in effect their little girl with all the emotional and psychological import that goes with it.
Part of this healing for me is for me to learn what are acceptable standards of behaviour and attitude to the point I can be reasonably relied to carry them out and to put a stop for me on those that are not only only set me back.
Whatever the current arguments and points of view are, the era in which I was brought up in was one where spanking was an everyday fact of life for a child that we expected and in the context of  recreating that past, my little side benefits from restoration of the certainties she saw as part of adult authorities care and protection of her even from her own mistakes.

Spanking for me is part of that healing process where by I relearn by the standards of the time those behaviours and attitudes I am to live by and am subject to the same rituals that would see my bottom getting spanked live every other child back then and to which I associate with the loving protection and nuture the adults that were good to me in childhood delivered whenever I needed it.

 The heat from your spanking stays in your gym knickers for ages so it's hardly surprising you feel like rubbing them.
It just feels right to me and that is why in age regression and in any kind of Caregiver or Guardian setting my Inner Kid wants and needs to be spanked (and not for any sexual reason) as part of her discipline.
