By the Book

Married professors Anita and Glenn Kinsley are now empty nesters. As the new school year starts, their twin sons have gone to Yale to attend school. Now they are living in their house alone, with nothing but the school year and their smaller college to keep them occupied.

Anita, an English professor, is shocked when a colleague asks her to edit an erotic novel for her. And it's not just any erotic novel, it centers on spanking. She takes it home and reads it, and is surprised at how much it arouses her.

Glenn, a history professor, is intrigued by the manuscript. After reading the manuscript together, they decide to experiment with domestic discipline with a month, so they can explore the feelings, both physical and mental, that it involves.

Things are going fine until a busybody at the college finds out about the manuscript, and then all hell breaks loose.
