One request for clarification: He spanks you out of discipline as opposed to fetishism or receiving some other form of pleasure and gratification from the contact, correct?
If the former is true, then I also wonder why he resorts to this form of punishment instead of talking to you like an adult -- considering you are one, by law. If the latter is true, then I think you need to consult someone you trust -- your household doctor, a teacher, perhaps even law enforcement. Though not overtly involved in penetrative or sodomizing acts, you're facing potential abuse and nobody -- not even a 20-year-old should have to stomach that out of necessity for a housing arrangement.
Of course, I hate to tell you this, but I didn't really receive spankings as a child. Yeah, my mom believed a quick hand, shoe, etc. to the backside would get my attitude in check when behaving badly, but that was rather infrequent. Well, that's what Mom claims; though I distinctly remember being whipped a few more times than she thinks.
Either way, I keep hearing all these reports about how spanking is so bad for children, when I look at my own experiences as well as those of friends with whom I have grown up, and figure, "We didn't turn out so bad, did we?" I wouldn't deny that spanking and other forms of capital punishment can be taken to ridiculous, unhealthy, and damaging extremes -- up to and including death. (We've heard those accounts.) As a poster revealed earlier, it's not as detrimental as we might assume so long as it is exercised with caution and care as opposed to an easy way to get the point across.
