Jaffa - Name sources. Jaffa (or Yaffo) is one of the most ancient port cities in the world.

However the Hellenist accounting for the name dates from hundreds of years after the original naming. < ...

As spanking, combining physical discipline (associated with violence = drama) and buttocks (a sexy part of both gender's anatomy), always aroused much human attention, it is no wonder that it entered spheres of life distinct from punishment. Note the issue of legal consent which may or may not represent a defence to criminal liability for any injuries caused during the spanking. Apart from the erotic and from fraternity/sorority type initiations, which have their origin in educational (domestic of boot camp) types of discipline, these include : See also:
