Spanking in advertisement and mainstream products

Many mainstream products, such as food, soap, and textiles, use or have used the topic of spanking in their brand names, labels or advertisements.

In recent years this has spread to a new wave of increasingly daring television commercials that use kinky behavior as a humorous way to sell products. Erotic spanking, and even the alternate lifestyle of hardcore BDSM, has been seen in ads for magazines, footwear, shampoo, and lingerie.
