Robert Heinlein: Spanko to the Stars (and Planets)


Last week, Indy and I were recalling reading science fiction novels by Robert Heinlein. His stories were, I believe, my first introduction to erotic spanking. As a wide-eyed teenager who was already fascinated with both sex and spankings, this material served as a kind of Rosetta Stone.

Our friend Missy subsequently described an interesting resource for anyone who shared this experience. An author named Kessily has compiled an exhaustive collection of Heinlein spanking excerpts. Playing off the name of his most popular work, it's called Spanker in a Strange Land. Thanks go to CF Productions for making this information available.

The sheer number of references is staggering. Heinlein was a dedicated spanko to be sure and he obviously liked promoting this favorite pastime. The passages, for the most part, seem a little clumsy by today's standards. In particular, Heinlein's depictions of female characters often lacked depth. Even so, many older spankos cite his novels as an early influence.
