First among equals (or last)

At the all-boys school I attended from around the age of 11 onwards, corporal punishment wasn't heavily used but it was not unusual either.  There were two styles.  Firstly, there were fairly informal punishments doled out in the classroom.  Most times these involved a slipper (gymshoe, plimsoll, whatever) although rulers and other implements were also used, but not ones that would be specifically designed or made for giving punishments.  These punishments weren't usually especially severe - my impression was that they were mostly used to calm things down a bit by making an example of one miscreant.  I'm 99% sure these were never recorded in any sort of punishment book or student file.  I'm pretty confident that most of the class, excepting the one on the receiving end, positively enjoyed the spectacle - I certainly did!

Then there were other occasions, rather more rare, when someone did something more seriously wrong and they would be sent to the deputy headmaster's office and he would cane them across the seat of their trousers.  It was apparent to everyone that these were no laughing matter and left formidable marks that would last a week or more.  I would guess that about nine times out of ten such cases just involved a single pupil and it must have been quite scary being made to stand in the office with this intimidating senior member of staff telling you off and knowing what was likely to follow.  However, on just a few occasions there was more than one pupil involved - in one instance for example, three boys from my class were sent to him for bullying a younger pupil.

That scenario fascinates me but as I never had to make such a visit the the deputy head, either alone or with others, I can only speculate on the different emotional experiences.  I imagine, but I could be wrong, that the telling-off part would have been slightly easier to cope with if you weren't on your own.  But after that...  Take the 'three boy' scenario I mentioned before.  Suppose, because of where you were standing, you were going to be the last to be caned.  Do you think you could get any enjoyment from seeing the first one being caned or the second?  Or would the thought that this was a about to happen to you be too scary to entertain  any pleasure feelings?  Conversely, suppose you happened to be first - once you'd had your caning, it would obviously still be hurting quite a lot but knowing that the worst is over, would you be able to get any enjoyment from watching your colleagues getting theirs??

Government makes sensible decision SHOCK HORROR

The UK government has abandoned plans for its porn blocker.

I would still recommend people to use a good reliable VPN.

Favourite for October

I've been noticing quite a few images from Spanking101 recently and some of them are very good.  There's quite a few that depict fairly realistic looking USA style school paddling scenes, often with multiple girls.  I especially liked this one because the other girls who are going to be paddled shortly are looking on as their friend gets hers, and they're looking pretty shaken up about it. The girl standing in front of the lamp appears to almost be in tears already.

The image quality is usually really good, and the same applies to the short "taster" clips they put out.  Their website is not as good as this leads you to expect.  It's a bit chaotic in organisation - there are scene descriptions with no videos there, there is one case where there are several videos for a particular scene but some of them are placed on the adjacent scene description. Many of the clips are "instructional" videos on how to use various implements and various positions and they're not as good as the story ones. Also, they don't make all of their clips available from their subscription site - the video for the scene pictured here, for example, is only available to purchase separately from Clips4Sale and is sold in many parts costing over 50GBP for the whole thing which is rather steep - sadly this sort of pricing simply encourages piracy.
