用法筆記
This sense refers to consensual adult sexual behaviour and should not be confused with sense 1 (child discipline). In conversation, the meaning is usually clear from context — the subject and object are consenting adults, and the setting is explicitly romantic or sexual. Use with caution when talking to parents or in formal settings, as the child-discipline sense is far more common in everyday English.

As a noun, spank is less common than spanking. Spanking is the more natural choice when referring to the whole event ('He got a spanking'), while a spank usually refers to a single hit. The noun is almost always used in the context of child discipline; the sexual sense is almost never used as a noun.
