When I write spanking stuff it's fun to think of character types who may be drawn to such impulses. my very first spanking story was inspired by an 'Archers' character and started with a monologue rant:

People say I’m old-fashioned, and in a way they’re right, and I’m proud of it. I like things just so. A man needs to know where he stands – Ah, I know what you’re thinking – Not supposed to say that anymore – it's all this inclusive language nonsense. Oh, surprised I speak the lingo, are you? I can move with the times despite what my daughters think. I just don’t have to like it. And believe me I most certainly don’t. As I was saying I like things just so and I need to know exactly where I stand. I don’t want things to stand still. I am, after all, a successful entrepreneur. Take this European Market - I don’t particularly like this nonsense but I was quick enough to find out how to get it to work for me. Of course set-aside is madness (and the woolly liberals go on about famine and starvation!) – it’s simply a way to support idle foreign peasants but of course, we’re not supposed to say things like that, either. It’s true though. I made sure Maes Gwyn used the system to full advantage – Well, you’d be a fool not to, wouldn’t you?
Of course change is necessary but I miss old-fashioned standards. The old Tory party and the church got it right in my opinion. Nothing wrong with power and money as long as you accept responsibility as well. That’s the trouble with Pont Llaw Land – They want the profit and they want to play the country squire idyll but they don’t understand country folk - or the Welsh! It’s not in the blood. Breeding – another thing we’re not supposed to acknowledge - but like truth it will always out. These Johnny-come-lateleys don’t know the first thing about real country life. What’s really galling, though, is that the locals and bleeding hearts like my brother-in-law Sam can’t tell the difference.
