I was caned as student at a British Public School.

I'm a switch, although given the opportunity I tend to give more spankings than I get.

I like to think that switches make the best tops. For one thing, we know how the

implements feel.

I love a good hard spanking/caning and I've had the pleasure of giving some hard spankings as well.

For me spanking is at the core of my sexuality.

Spanking is intensely erotic and I love the way a spanking feels.

Canes have a fearsome reputation, based the way children were beaten in some

British Public Schools in "the bad old days". The schoolmaster giving a caning

would put his whole body behind the cane stroke, giving it as hard as he could

and still aim the stroke. The person getting the caning was bent over, either

touching their toes or bent over an object like a desk. This tightened the skin

over their buttocks, making the cane strokes hurt even more. In many cases the

cane strokes broke the skin or left deep welts that took days to fade.

The kind of savage canings that I received in my Public School do not

resemble the canings that most people give (and receive) in erotic spanking.

Many people who get erotic canings love the way the cane feels. Most canes are

light, so there is very little deep thud in the stroke, but the stroke is

concentrated in the thin line of the cane. The strokes hurt, with a sort of

burning across the line of the stroke. The person giving an erotic caning will

not usually raise the cane beyond shoulder height. The intent in giving the cane

strokes it to make them hurt, but not in a way that is unbearable. The girls and

who I caning are usually lying on a bed, with pillows under

their hips. This pushes the bottom up a little, making it easier to spank the

lower part of the buttocks, but the skin is not stretched tightly. Clenching the

buttocks can cause the cane to bounce off, so I think that it is a nice touch to

give extra strokes for clenching or squirming. I however prefer to bend over the back of a chair as I did at school and I recommend this for you too, its also better for post punishment arrousal titilation and even sex.

I usually get six strokes heavy with the cane, after getting my bottom

warmed with the paddle.

In reality the cane has savage associations, but in fantasy the idea of being caned by Nanny or a schoolmistress is erotic.

The tip of the cane travels faster than the length of the cane. So the buttock

under the tip will be punished more than the buttock toward the disciplinarian.

I like a spanking to punish both buttocks evenly. So I'll give a caning on one

side, the a little break where I'll caress my naughty girls bottom and rub her

clit. Then I'll move to the other side and give the rest of the caning.

Rattan canes have a sort of medium level of pain.

After a paddling with a light paddle and a caning, the buttocks should be

blushed hot pink or crimson with some nice welts. I like to finish a spanking

with a hard paddling on that sore welted bottom. Small heavy paddles hurt the

most.

How hard people like to be spanked obviously depends on the individual.

Some

women comment that their hormonal cycles can effect their sensitivity to pain.

If you get spanked frequently, you can usually take a harder spanking. Sometimes

this can be a problem. If you get paddled a lot you may develop what is

sometimes called "leather butt". The skin on our bottom thickens and starts to

lose sensitivity. The only cure that I've read about for "leather butt" is to

stop getting paddled for a while (perhaps having canings instead).

If you like spanking there are two important rules to remember: spankings are

supposed to hurt and spankings are supposed to be fun. A good top can reach out

and feel a bit of what the bottom is feeling. Between talking to the bottom and

feeling how much they can take, in the ideal case the bottom will never have to

tell the top that a spanking hurts too much. The top will know.

When I have done spanking scenes that worked they have been the peak experiences

of my life. Nothing I've experienced has been better.

Here?s how I got into it!

I was introduced to the cane in the 1960's when our Form Master lost it and decided to cane the whole class. I remember as if it was yesterday when it came to my turn to bend over and touch my tows. The surprise that it didn't hurt very much, that was untill about 20 seconds later when I was back at my desk, I was aware of the sudden appearance of an erection in my trousers and a sharp pain throbbing from my bottom up my spine, it was not unpleasant but it did hurt!

Like the others at break I went to the lavatory to look at the damage, I could feel the lump of the single stripe and could just see the classic twin tracks of deep red with white in between, by tea time they would be dark blue as the bruise developed. Later just grinding my buttocks into the desk seat where the bruise was would produce an erection.

The next time was memorable if only for the occasion, It was in gym by our second gym master a Turk who was a brute and strong, the pain was much greater the single stroke having been laid on especially hard through only my shorts and with great accuracy, the "mark" took five weeks to go away.

The next time was rather more serious. Two of us were in trouble and told by the master a Physics Master called Hancock (I'll never forget him) to report to the First Aid Room which doubled as an execution chamber! We knew we were going to be caned and Hancock's reputation went before him! He arrived carrying the standard senior school can between 3/8" & 1./2" thick straight and made from rattan cane. The other boy (David Brett) went in first and after some talking a brief silence and then the whistle of the cane and the "thwack as it hit the target" Repeated four times! David came out looking white but walking! Then it was my turn, "bend down" some fumbling as he hitched up my jacket and felt to ensure I hadn't put on any padding like extra pants or gym shorts, he pulled up my shirt tail which I had carefully pulled right down. "Four and don't move!" Then swish crack thump as the first stroke hit home, not too bad, but I spoke too soon at about ten second intervals, and by the time he'd laid on the fourth my bottom was really thumping! The usual erection was by now showing.

He then left the room with me and told us both to report to the matron after school.

I went straight after teas and Matron was expecting me, she was a very neat 20 year old assistant matron.

She made me take off my trousers and lay down on the couch in the room, she rubbed in some cream and told me to turn over. Why? I turned over and took some oil in her hands and masturbated my erect and wiling penis! Which in turn lent me to get taste for being caned as an adult!

So here are a few facts about it and what to use and how to do it.

This is probably the implement most associated with Corporal Punishment. There

is something very emotive about this traditional, English disciplinary tool.

Part of the cane?s mysticism is the ritual and theatre associated with its

application which is as much about psychological torment and fear as it is the

actual beating. Making the condemned wait, sometimes hours or days in

anticipation. The flexing of the rod as a scolding takes place. Then, finally,

the rite itself: having the reprobate bent over a desk, or a chair, or perhaps

touching their toes..

Traditionally administered in half dozen batches ominously referred to as ?six

of the best?. Caning is an art that involves more than the technical ability to

apply an accurate stroke.. The best types of cane

to use are those that come from the climbing palm or rattan family as these have

a flexible stem. There are enormous varieties of rattans, with innumerable

differing qualities. The most popular varieties for making a punishment cane are

Kooboo, Dragon, Palambang and Malacca.

No two canes are ever identical, as they are natural products, grown, not

manufactured. There are an endless variety of rattans. Thickness, flexibility,

curvature, colouring and surface finish all vary. Often canes are named and

graded by their increased length and thickness: Junior Cane 8mm diameter, Senior

Cane 10mm and Reformatory Cane 12mm plus. Lengths usually range from 30in to

36in. Most standard canes are made from Kooboo. For more serious punishments try

a Dragon cane as the rattan is denser and slightly stiffer than Kooboo. It also

has a very smooth surface which helps it fly through the air faster. Another

heavier implement is the ferrule originally a Victorian walking cane made from

the very thick and heavy rattan Malacca. I have come across so-called

?fibre-glass? canes and ?dressage or show? canes (canes covered with leather),

which are not really canes at all, both are very severe implements that I would

suggest only advanced players consider using. Probably the fiercest canes are

those used for Singapore judicial punishments, made from stripped manner rattan they are approximately 15mm thick and 50 inches long.

Crook or Straight Handle?

So why do canes have crook handles? I have to say I?m not exactly sure, as I

have found lots of different explanations. One being that originally walking

canes were used to beat people with so the crook handle is just a remnant of

this. I have also read that the crook was used to stop the cane slipping out of

the hands during a vigorous thrashing. The crook was also used to hang the cane up so it would be a constant reminder to errant young children. Well the crook handle is certainly associated with the school cane. I don?t think the handle

makes much of a difference to the cane, many people just have a personal

preference. Some straight canes have some kind of added handle, which does make them easier to use.

Short or long & thick or thin?

Canes come in a huge variety of lengths and thickness. I would suggest that a

beginner uses a short, lightweight cane. The longer the cane the more swing, the

greater the arc, equaling a more painful stroke. Remember the longer the cane

the more difficult it is to control. The weight of the cane changes the

sensation and intensity of the stroke. The thinner the cane the more ?stingy?

and biting it feels. While thicker canes are heavier, more ?thumpy? and tend to

bruise the skin. With more weight they penetrate more deeply.

Caning Techniques

Caning is probably one of the most revered of the disciplinary arts taking some

time to perfect. A perfect cane stroke needs a minimum amount of effort, you

don?t have to throw your whole body into it. In fact the greatest accuracy is

achieved with the minimum variation of movement. This is probably one of the

reasons as to why the cane is such a favored disciplinary tool. The stature and

strength of the disciplinarian is immaterial as it is one?s technique that is

all-important (the cane is certainly a great equalizer for women). always use full force blows you'll only fluff it if you "pull" the stroke!.

There are two different techniques to caning someone. Firstly with a ?wrist

only? movement and secondly, with an ?arm and wrist? movement. I would suggest that beginners (and when caning in an area with limited space/height) should always use the wrist movement. It is also the stroke I prefer to use as it has a greater degree of accuracy. Hold the cane in your hand, tuck your elbow into your body and using only your lower arm, use a fast wrist motion to flick the

cane at the target. If you cane without moving your wrist you cannot get any

speed into the motion of the stroke or that lovely ?swish? noise, as you are not

really using the flexibility of the cane.

The ?arm and wrist? movement involves lifting up and bringing down your arm,

putting the force of your shoulder behind the stroke, finishing the stroke with

the wrist movement. The arm can move either up or out for this motion. Make sure you practice the movement and measure the stroke lots of times before beginning the punishment because with this technique it is easy to be inaccurate. If you have never caned someone before try holding the cane about a third of the way in, this makes it shorter, less flexible and easier to control. As you gain

confidence move your hand out until eventually you are holding it at the end.

After striking the bottom you can either follow through with a stroke that

leaves the cane firmly planted on the buttocks or allow the cane to bounce back

and lift away from the area. Following through will make the stroke more painful

and ?thumpy?, this is because you are passing on all the kinetic energy of the

stroke into the buttocks. While lifting off does not dump as much energy onto

the area.

Where should you aim for?

A proper cane stroke is really best suited for use on the fleshy buttocks. It

can be used on other parts of the body but I suggest using a very short

lightweight cane, with a building tapping motion.

I would suggest that beginners aim to keep the tip of the cane in the middle of the furthest cheek

.

Once you are more confident keep the tip about two inches in from the outer edge of the bottom.

Beware of over-shooting the target. Often when caning you

can measure the stroke but will then over shoot this mark when putting your

power behind the stroke.

The highest cut should be just below the cleft of the buttocks and the lowest just along the crease where the bottom meets the legs.

One of the main mistakes that people make when using a cane is to deliver the

strokes all on the same spot. There should be a succession of cane stripes up

and down the entire buttocks. I love to see a caned bottom with six evenly

placed lines across it each about an inch apart. So try to cane the

entire bottom, don?t just hope to hit anywhere. Practice high and low shots.

Even experienced players can miss-hit sometimes but remember - if you are not

that experienced start with medium or light strokes so that they will not cause

too much damage if you do miss.

I think that where you stand in relation to the recipient while administrating

the caning is one of the most important factors. Where you stand determines the

angle the cane will hit the bottom. If you are too forward or behind the target

the angle will be too great and result in one buttock receiving a heavy

punishment and the other side none at all. Use the lines you are

leaving on the bottom as a guide to how well you are balancing the strokes. The

perfect stroke lands flat, that is parallel to the buttocks just before it

lands. Thereby transferring the stroke?s power equally onto each cheek.

Try sniffing amyl nitrate before and after it will intensify the resulting orgasm.
