Yesterday I posted an AI spanking story — that is, a spanking story written by AI. Here’s some background on it:

I was fooling around with Claude (my AI of choice, although I do use Gemini for simple/quick tasks) and I remember reading on one of the spanking fanfic Discords I’m on that the participants in that server couldn’t get AI to write a spanking story. 

I decided one day, while I was bored, to ask Claude to write a spanking story. Here’s the prompt I gave it:

Write me a consensual adult spanking short-story of 3000-5000 words. The top should be male and the bottom should be female. It should be explicitly detailed but not sexual.

It came up with a decent story, although I don’t know that Claude really understood what I was asking for when I asked it for explicit details. I was asking for something more along the lines of how I write spanking scenes; instead it explicitly covered consent and emotions. Not a complaint; just an observation. 

Had I written this story, I would have probably focused more on the mechanics of the spanking, as much of my spanking fiction tends to do — the onomatopoeia of spanking sounds, the positions, the heat, the pain and how the person reacts to it. I would still have made sure it was consensual, that both parties are legal adults, that there was some sort of background story to why the spanking is happening in the first place.

The closest story I’ve written to this is probably “Strong Medicine”, in Baker’s Dozen — it has a lot of backstory and build-up, a brief but intense consensual spanking (albeit for punishment, not for release), and a denouement. 

AI is all about prompt engineering — if you want something done a certain way, you have to structure your prompt a certain way. I’ve given short prompts, and I’ve given prompts that are several paragraphs long. The more precise a prompt I give it, the better the response. Had I engineered this prompt better, I would have probably gotten a different story altogether. But I just wanted to see what it could do. 

Now I know.
