Hi All,

I am not always this late in posting onto a thread, but blame Tourguide for suggesting that it might be fun to reopen the old threads, even if this one has been 'dead' for well over a year.

I read through the various postings and I have to say that I found them to be interesting and amusing, with a soupcon of fear thrown in too. I have had a few years of experience of both 'friendly' spankings which can be incredibly erotic, and far FAR less friendly canings which can be hideously painful. But, as an owned submissive, I have to accept what my owner thinks is right for me, being it erotic or painful. (Being a masochist DOES help...... LOL)

One point I have to make concerns the writer who stated that she was totally put off caning by the 'mess'. In my own experience drawing blood during a caning normlly only happens by accident when one stroke falls across the flesh struck by a previous blow. Then you can get blood emerging where the strokes intersect. But my owner doesn't let that happen. And he knows just how hard to strike so as to produce large, painful and long-lasting welts, but not to draw blood or to badly mess up my poor backside. I won't pretend that I can wear a bikini next day, but the damage done to my backside by canings gradually fades, even if the memory lingers on.

As I said, caning for us is an ultimate sanction; it is a punishment pure and simple, whereas 'whippings' with other instruments can be both erotic and delightful although, again, it DOES help to be a masochist.

I suppose that everyone feels very differently about infliction of pain; I get an incredible buzz from it up to a certain level. And my owner knows exactly where that boundary is for me, so he can safely differentiate between the pain I enjoy and the level of pain which is unavoidable and unpleasant punishment.

Anyway it would be nice to hear what the rest of you think.

Love Jane.
