Hypothetical dilemma (1)

Okay, so there's widespread agreement now that corporal punishment doesn't really have a place in schools today. However, at the same time, we know that it is still widely practised, especially in the deep south of the USA, and there are plenty of people there who thinks it's a good thing. So this kind of dilemma is perfectly possible today...

You're the Principal of a high school in Mississippi and your school still employs the paddle for serious misbehaviour. One lunchtime, two girls are seen fighting and a teacher has to part them. Although there appears to be a strong case that both were equally responsible for initiating the fracas, they have experienced rather different outcomes. One has blood pouring from her nose, the start of a black eye, and the very real possibility that her nose might actually be broken. The other is largely unscathed. The first girl has been sent off to the medical room while the second girl has, as a temporary measure, been placed in the In-School Suspension Unit so that her whereabouts are know while you are briefed.

A quick check of records show that the second girl has been in trouble for this kind of thing before and it needs to be dealt with accordingly. Experience tells you that one of the parents, probably the mother, of the first girl is going to be on the 'phone soon demanding answers so it's best to be seen to have acted quickly and decisively.

The decision is made - she's going to get six hard swats with the heavy wooden paddle across her behind and then sent home for the rest of the day - this means you can tell the other mother that the girl has been paddled and suspended. You arrange for someone to bring the girl to your office, and that's when you're faced with the dilemma.

As well as fighting, you now need to address what amounts to quite a serious infraction of the school dress code. I think you have two main options.

1. You inform her that, for fighting, she is to receive six swats with the paddle tomorrow morning at the start of the school day, and that she will be receiving further punishment for the dress code violation. That way, she'll have a significant amount of time to think about the paddling that is coming her way and she'll be able to dress properly for the paddling to be carried out. And she'll also have to spend the rest of tomorrow with a very sore bottom sitting in her classes with all of her peers being well aware of what has happened to her.
2. You administer the six swats there and then - it might hurt her rather more than if she had dressed properly but that really is her own fault and might serve to avoid the need for a separate punishment for the dress code violation. Plus you could then make her go back to her class for the rest of the day. Since she doesn't seem to care generally about how much her classmates can see of her bottom, it will be interesting to see how easy it will be to see the way it's been marked.

Okay, so your decision?

Favourite for November

 I do like attention to detail.

A couple of important lessons are about to be learned here. Firstly, that a pair of old style school gym knickers provide next to no protection from a solidly applied cane. And second, that if that cane lands exactly where it's being aimed, it is going to hurt very much and she won't be repeating that behaviour any time soon.

Even more movie bloopers

I do enjoy spotting those occassional slips of camera and set that bedevil our favourite producers of spanking movies. I mean you just can't go and say we'll wait for the red marks to fade and then reshoot the scene just because of some tiny mistake...

And, obviously it's difficult when some of the actors are rearranging the set and the second camera is in the way (just on the left edge). (credit: Lupus Spanking)

And when you have a spankee who is so reluctant to bend over the back of a chair for the next part of her punishment that the spanker has decided to take a seat while he waits, it's perhaps not altogether surprising that when she finally decides to get in place there's a momentary mix-up between the camera guy and the sound guy. (credit: Ravenhill) 

A slightly odd one this - the girl is about to take her trousers down and, presumably, bend across the bed to be spanked, and her would-be spanker has decided to cross to the other side of the room.  I would have thought it would be easier to spank her if you stayed this side and perhaps that's what the second cameraman thought as well as he probably didn't expect to be in shot. (credit: AEG Real Spankings)

Staying in the wonderful world of AEG (I think, overall, they're my favourites which is why I have a lot of examples from them), can you imagine being summoned to the Principal's office to be punished and as you nervously open the door to go in, there's a large lighting rig just inside the doorway to enable your punishment to be filmed? (credit: AEG Real Spankings)

I understand the the second camera is using a fixed position so the cameraman doesn't need to stay with it, but I'm always a bit surprised that they can be so disinterested that they're not even watching the action just when it's getting interesting. (credit: unknown)

A bit nit-picking this one, but I-spy a lighting rig on the right hand edge of this scene... oh, and another crew member lurking in the kitchen at the back. (credit: Spanked-in-uniform)

Finally, when you're not in this scene but are interested enough to keep an eye on things it's probably a good idea to make sure that you're out of shot, especially if, like Kailie, you're so uncaring for your fellow actor's soon to be very sore bottom, that you're just standing there picking your nose. I hope she was suitable punished for that as well. (credit: AEG Real Spankings)

Favourite for October

Belinda Lawson's ample bottom is not unfamiliar with being punished with a wide variety of implements but I have the feeling that this would be quite a memorable one. A wooden backed hairbrush is a fearsome enough implement but this very heavy looking clothes brush should make her regret not being better protected and give him a very good view of her rapidly reddening bottom through the thin tights/pantyhose. Another great scene from Firm Hand Spanking. 

Realisation

There are just so many video clips out there where innocents who have never felt the reality of what a pain the backside was really all about, make the mistake of thinking it's all just a laugh and then discover that actually, spankings do hurt. I love this short slip - apparently adopted as an advert by those running the museum - when two girlfriends discover the old whipping table and a conveniently provided birch.

 

I suppose this might be the wrong time to point out to the surprised recipient that it was very rare for sentences of birching to just be a single stroke and that between three and nine strokes was more usual, and that for most of the time that punishment was available to UK courts it would have been administered to the bare buttocks. Now shall we just do it again, but make it more real this time...?

Favourite for September

 

I'm not really a fan of animated GIF files. Because they are, essentially, a series of separate images, those producing them have to be very conscious of managing file size so they tend to keep the dimensions small, low resolution and use fewer individual scenes so the motion is often jerky. It's also pretty rare for them to get the start and end images close enough so that it does look continuous. This isn't a very large image (480x292 pixels) but the resolution's not bad. Of course, if you study this for a while, you can spot the join but it's pretty well done.

It does look like a credible scene of a mother losing it with her teenage daughter. While the denim shorts might initially provide a fair degree of protection, the mother seems very determined and I expect that after the first twenty or so smacks, the daughter would be feeling the heat building in her seat.

Fake or unfortunate?

 

I only came across this very recently and I'm keen to find our what anyone can tell me about it.  First and foremost, is it a fake?

There's a lot of fakery out there and most of it is pretty obvious - there's even one blog devoted to showing off fake spanking pictures (Spanking Fake) but this doesn't look like one of the more obvious ones. It appears to be quite a contemporary image - that style of clothing for an athlete has only really been around in the last ten to fifteen years. Another suggestion would be that it's a spanking model that has posed to make it look as if she's participating in an athletics event. The marks look like clear evidence of a caning so that makes it unlikely to be a US school setting.

So either it's just an image of an athlete that has been photoshopped to introduce the cane marks. Or it's a very cleverly shot spanko scene where the fakery is making you believe it's a college athlete. Or...

Sharps Mints

Does anyone know if this advert was for real and if it ever made its way on to television? And has anybody ever tested it out for themselves? I'm happy to supply the mints and the caning to anyone who wants to test the theory...

Favourite for July

 Definitely one of those where "less is more" - you can write your own story around the scene before you...

Very smartly turned out - probably one of the girls who never gets into trouble for anything. Certainly never found herself in the head's office before. But she knows she's in big trouble this time. She knows of other girls being caught for the same thing who were given the cane. One girl in her own class got six of the best just last term for much the same things and she saw the marks on that girl's bottom when they were in the changing room for PE. Is she going to get the same, or if she turns on the tears, and is suitably apologetic, might her previous good record save her? And either way, is he going to tell her parents because that would be really embarrassing...

(Sorry it's a few days late due to technical issues. And I'm afraid I don't know the original source or if there are any more images from this scene.)
