Birthday spanking
This is a curious custom in certain circles, to allow a number of others (e.g., father at home, teammates in a club, classmates in certain training institutions) to administer a spanking to the bottom of the birthday boy (or, less commonly, girl), as an annual rite of passage and probably a matter of (usually male or mixed) bonding — the same procedure is more commonly used as an initiation or part of it, e.g. during hazing.
Another probably anecodotal tale is that of the ancient Egyptians using spanking on the birthday to prepare the person for the afterlife, i.e. soften the body for the tomb[citation needed].
Another hypothetical origin for birthday spankings is the single smack on the bottom doctors (or midwives) give to newborn infants, which starts them breathing and thus begins their lives[citation needed].

I cannnot believe people havent heard of birthday spankings. I dont know how they came to be, but my friends and I revised the tradition a little, we now do the a** punch instead of open hand spanking.

Because the doctor slaps the baby on the bottom when they are born. Hence the idea of spanking

The custom's named after its inventor, Herr Dr Ludwig von Spanker, the well-known Viennese kinkmeister.
