I thought you people in Britain loves the cane. In fact, I'm almost certain is a British who invented the cane. Wasn't it a British rule that they administrate the cane in sets of 6 per side?

IMO, cane is a highlighting tool that you use in the end, it is meant to make the slave not to forget how painful the session is. If it breaks the skin, and causes a raised welt, all you need is to make sure you don't whip/spank/impact that very same spot again in the rest of the session and you'll be fine. If you do, you'll draw blood and that gets into the possible germs issue and it will spoil the atmosphere.
