Belgium is a small but densely populated country in Western Europe. It is a kingdom (monarchy) and and has a population of about 10.4 million. The country's official languages are Dutch (spoken by 59% of thpopulation and referred to as Flemish), French (40 %, Wallons), and German (1 %). Its capital is Brussels (Bruxelles).
Spanking in Belgium
A survey in 2007 found that 80% of Belgians feel that parents should be more strict with their children. 55% of the Wallons and 71% of the Flemish feel that "a good spanking" is sometimes necessary.
The difference may be caused by the wording: fessée (French) has the connotations of a full spanking, while billenkoek (Flemish/Dutch) is often understood to mean just a smack on the bottom, which also may be a more symbolic gesture, e.g. to stop a tantrum.
An older survey (of the 1990s) found that nearly 50% of Flemish children had ever had "a good spanking", defined as as spanking of more than two smacks, on the bare bottom, or with use of an instrument.
Belgian spanking artists
A well-known vintage Belgian spanking artist is Martin van Maële (also known as René Gockinga and A. Van Troizem, 1863? - 1926).
Perhaps the best known Belgian spanking artist was Luc Lafnet (1899-1939), also known by his pseudonyms Jim Black, Viset and Lucas O, who illustrated many spanking novels of his time.
A contemporary Belgian spanking artist is JPC. Waldo is French but lives in Belgium for many years too.
