What I want to see...

If you read this blog you probably frequent other spanko blogs and web pages and you’ve probably seen quite a lot of video clips and photo-stories involving young ladies being corporally punished.  It’s fair bet that a good proportion of those involve adult models role-playing as naughty schoolgirls being punished by their headmaster, headmistress or other teacher.  Many of them take a lot of trouble to get a realistic setting and costumes and for the young ladies to try hard to look like they might be younger than they actually are.  There’s one particular aspect of the dressing up that often irks me – footwear.  I don’t really think many schoolgirls ever turned up in their headmaster’s office to be punished while they were wearing stiletto heels, and nor do I think if very likely that many removed their shoes altogether – I can see that the one conducting the “punishment” might have concerns about getting a shoes in the face but I seriously doubt that the worst behaved schoolgirl ever would risk kicking about so much as to cause injury.  Aside from that minor foible, they are often quite convincing.  Being British, I have a preference for “English style” school scenes but I can enjoy all varieties.  And then the punishment starts...

See if you can recognise which website or CP movie this scenario comes from.

Jane is in the headmaster’s office looking very nervous but with her uniform immaculate as she stands in front of his imposing desk.  He tells her how disappointed he is that she’s been sent to him today for such a serious matters but notes that he’s been getting comments for some time about her behaviour and this was perhaps inevitable.  (She looks a bit shocked by this as she’s always behaved very well until this but she fails to realise that this is just a ruse on his part to allow him to punish her more.)  He stands, brings the chair around from his side of the desk and places it in the middle of the room and sits down.  The he takes her lower arm and pulls her towards him until she’s oblige to go across his lap face down – she had feared that she might get the strap but is shocked to find that he thinks she’s not too old to have her bottom smacked.  He begins the spanking on the seat of her skirt – firm heavy blows to alternate sides.  As the heat in her bottom grows she begins to wriggle and kick and he tells her sternly to keep still but then, after about forty or so smacks, she tries to put one hand back to protect herself.  His annoyance is plain – he pushes the arm out of the way and then flips up the hem of her short grey school skirt to expose her navy blue knickers before resuming the spanking with renewed vigour.  After another thirty or more smacks and with some reddening now visible below her panty line he pauses and asks her if the message is getting through to her yet.  She’s busy trying hard not to blubber and doesn’t immediately answer – unfortunately for Jane he takes her silence for insolence and determines to teach her a lesson.  Before she has time to react he has seized the waistband of her panties and dragged them some way down her thighs.  She’s mortified at the exposure but scarcely has time to protest before the spanking recommences in earnest.  Her buttocks are red hot and scarlet all over by now although in one or two places on the very edges can be seen the shape of his finger marks.  He is unmoved by her sobbing pleas and gives her around fifty hard measured smacks across her bare bottom before finally pushing her to get to her feet.  She starts to try to pull up her panties but he’s having none of that – he makes her stand facing the wall with her hands on her head for ten minutes reflection.  The he leads her back to the desk and announces he’s now going to deal with the issue of the bad language she used to her form teacher when she was caught misbehaving.  For this she is made to bend over the desk for twenty stinging strokes of the leather strap across her already sore and red bare bottom.  After another spell facing the wall he tells her it’s time to deal with the main matter that caused her to be sent to him.  For this she has to touch her toes for twenty strokes of the senior cane before she’s finally allowed to pull up her knickers and return to her class.

If you look at the sort of websites and videos I do you probably think you’ve seen this one but aren’t quite sure where.  That’s probably because I just made it up, but substitute Jane for whatever name takes your fancy and insert whatever offences she may have committed plus play around a bit with the number of smacks and strokes, and you probably have come across it many times.  And its fun, and I can enjoy is whenever I find the girl attractive and the scene is played well.

It’s just not realistic.  Despite all the costumes, scene setting, language and props, we all know it doesn’t represent anything that might ever have happened.

We know the reasons for all the liberties taken with departing from representing a scene that might have taken place somewhere in the past.  From the consumer point of view we don’t want it to all to be over before it’s hardly begun and we want to see the girl’s lovely bare bottom getting turned red.  From the perspective of the maker and the players there are also those issues but in addition the girl will not want to take a large number of hard cane strokes on her bare bottom without a warm up first to get the endorphins started.  The “warming up” process also serves the purpose of masking any marking the girls might have from enacting scenes previously because, by the time we see them bare, they’re glowing red anyway.  In many cases, they will quite wisely not want a long and hard caning on their bare bottom, endorphins or not, because it can be excruciatingly painful and – quite frankly – damaging.  You only need to pay the odd visit to one of the well know eastern European sites to see that for yourself.

How, specifically, would you expect the reality to differ?  Well for a start it would be over quickly – that was always seen as one the advantages that corporal punishment offered in the school.  Specifically it avoided teaching staff or prefects having to waste their time supervising detentions, but it also minimised the time the miscreant was removed from the learning environment.  Anecdotally some pupils apparently preferred to have a punishment that “got it over with” to something more protracted, although that might have either been bravado (easier to boast about having been caned than about having been made to sit in after-school detention for an hour) or about reducing the risk of their parents finding out.

You can also be fairly certain that teachers would be all too aware that spanking a teenage pupil with their hand would be very likely to not be very effective and at the same time to be deeply suspicious.  So, you might expect, would be any action that involved removing items of clothing and in particular baring the pupil’s buttocks.  Actually I can’t say that never, ever, did a pupil get it on the bare – I went (unfortunately) to an all-boys school and I know of two instances where bare bottom punishments were handed out.  In one a sports teacher took advantage of the situation in a swimming lesson to give one boy a single but quite hard swat with a gymshoe across his bare bottom (I was there and saw it).  Another time about four or five boys aged around ten managed to get into a store cupboard that wasn’t properly secured and were caught messing about by the school caretaker – he made them drop their short trousers and underpants and gave each of them a couple with a bundle of wire – too many people were involved for this to be made up and they were in my class at the time.  Everyone in the class knew what had happened (and gave the caretaker a wide berth in future) but I’m pretty sure nobody told their parents or I think there would have been a court case.  On the whole though, I think we can be pretty confident that if corporal punishment was ever to be used in a school on a teenage girl, they would stick to punishments on the hand or –occasionally “on the posterior as normally clothed” as it was defined in some discipline regulations.

Certainly no school ever gave out punishments with the huge number of smacks/swats/strokes we see on CP websites – I think in the UK we can be pretty sure that anything more than six was as rare as hen’s teeth.  Generally another key difference is that although technically a pupil might refuse to co-operate or might move part way through a punishment and bring it to a premature halt, the relationship between authority and pupil meant it was always going to be very unlikely – no headteacher ever offered a safeword or allowed a pupil a moment or two to rub their bottom midway though a punishment.

So a maximum punishment to keep realism might mean the pupil bending over and been given six strokes across their bottom as normally clothed.  On the other hand the objective is not just to create a good effect for a long period – it was to make a dramatic effect in a very few strokes so I think we can be sure that much more force would have been used than we routinely see on sites that purport to show English school style discipline, in order to offset the clothing protection and fewer strokes to be applied.

Would that work on a CP oriented website?  Well it would be different for sure.  And as a consumer, I would love to see it portrayed in that way sometimes.  I’d also like to see it being carried out with established spanking models who could then be interviewed about the experience.

The nearest I’ve seen to this was AEG in America, best known for their Real Spankings website (also Spanking Teen Jessica, Spanking Teen Brandi etc.) who ran a series called Real School Swats in which their current models agree to take a school style paddling across the seat of their trousers.  They didn’t role play the scene and usually gave double the number of swats likely to be the maximum in school to allow for the greater maturity and experience of the subjects.  They also got the girls to show their bare bottoms before and after to see the effects and discuss how it had felt.  They did a few episodes using a cane (Real School Strokes) before rather losing direction with the next series – “Bare School Swats”.

In terms of those involved I can see some attractions for this variant as well.  The idea of having an attractive girl naked over my lap for a long hand spanking is appealing of course, but I would like to put myself in the position of the teacher/headmaster doling out a traditional school punishment obviously to a consenting female, old enough to consent, but role playing as a naughty schoolgirl.  And I’d like to hear from her afterwards how it felt, how it compared to more normal CP scenes, and to get a look at the marks!

Clearly I’m the other extreme, but I happen to think, if I was a submissive female CP model, I’d be quite curious to know what a real school caning must have been like.  Curiously, maybe just once, I'd even quite like to have the tables turned so I could experience what it would have been like, especially given that on one occasion at school I was a hair's breadth away from finding out.
