if you are spanking a pre-pubescent or pubescent child in that way, there damn well is a sexual element even if you don't have any overt sexual intent.

I would say that spanking on a bare butt intensifies feelings of humiliation. why would any parent spank on the bare butt? It's flat out creepy. I've read comments where the person says that this is in order to make sure you don't inadvertently hurt the kid, but that's a heap of dog shit.
