Favourite for January

Of all the images I've seen recently for the first time, this one is, for me, outstanding. It manages to say so much while showing so little. Less is more.

What we do know for sure is that we see a young girl who is in trouble at school (I have to say that I believe and hope that the girl is actually over 18 and is fully consenting to model this scene, but is blessed with looking very much like she could be a teenage girl). Behind her, we can see the headmaster flexing the cane in his hands, so we know that she's paying the price of her poor behaviour by having her bottom caned. We can see that she's crying and is visibly upset.  We know the caning is not actually underway at this moment by the way he's holding the cane. We don't know if the tears are caused by having just received a very painful caning, or whether they are from anticipation of what is about to happen. I think it is likely that her behaviour will show a noticeable improvement in the coming days.

This is a bit of an oldie but a goodie nonetheless.

On the face of it, a standard depiction of an English schoolgirl getting a hard caning across her bottom. None of the silly fantasy stuff about clothing being removed - this is how it could have been. Her persistent lateness means she has to bend over the gym horse and receive a classic 'six of the best' across her skin-tight school trousers. The headmaster doesn't appear to be holding back at all, and this is probably a fair reflection of how hard a real school caning would have been. The model is the always brilliant Nicky Montford, who had a reputation for complaining on shoots if the person administering the punishment didn't do it hard enough.  Nevertheless, as she follows his instruction to count out the strokes, you can hear the indifference in her voice - perhaps even contempt - as she is determined not to acknowledge that the caning is bothering her at all, even if that risks driving him to cane even harder.

Improvement to Santa service

This year sees the trial of a new service introduced by the government whereby any girl who finds herself on Santa's naughty list is liable to find that not only does she not get presents, but if she lives in the trial area, she is likely to receive a personal visit from the big man himself.

Favourite for December

As we move inexorably towards the festive season, it seems appropriate to choose an appropriately attired image for this month. A classic OTK spanking that will hopefully result in her bottom tingling all the way. 

Favourite for November

 

No time wasted here lifting the girl's skirt, but we can already glimpse her knickers, and as the cane comes sswishing in hard, I can't see the skirt being much of an obstacle. For anyone, like me, who is a lover of black tights, this is a peach of an image.

Favourite for October

 

Obviously, when corporal punishment was a normal everyday experience in British schools, there was often a reluctance to punish girls as freely as they did the boys. Quite a few schools would also have a policy where no pupils would be given a formal punishment in the presence of other pupils.

But not all.

Sadly, I went to an all-boys school, but there were definitely times when two or three pupils would be in the office of the headmaster or his deputy, being caned for some joint misdemeanour. It seems quite possible, therefore, that there may have been a few occasions when boys and girls were given a formal punishment in the presence of pupils of the opposite sex. Personally, if the opportunity had presented itself, I would have done something that I knew would result in being caned, if I could implicate a girl into the behaviour so that I got to witness her being caned as well. Maybe not as exciting as in this image from Pandora Blake's wonderful Dreams of Spanking website, but well worth it.

Favourite for September

I've always had a bit of a thing for school-style punishment where a naughty girl is punished with a 'slipper' (in practice a plimsoll) applied hard across her backside. I suspect there are two major reasons. Firstly, in the all-boys school I attended, the only official corporal punishment that was employed was a cane, and that was administered in the privacy of the office of the headmaster or deputy headmaster. However, some teachers bent the rules a little, probably safe in the knowledge that there were unlikely to be any complaints, and dished out off-the-record punishment in the classroom in full view of everyone, and a majority of those employed a plimsoll. This was always something to be enjoyed by the rest of the class. Secondly, I have read quite a few accounts where co-ed schools might have often used the cane on misbehaving boys but were more reluctant to cane girls, and a number of them chose to 'slipper' girls because it was seen as a less drastic alternative.

A slipper has several significant advantages over a cane. It makes a very loud sound, which is quite intimidating to all present. But it can also be used with almost unlimited force - with a cane, the person wielding it will usually want to hold back just a little because, after all, you don't really want to break the skin. With a slipper, there are no such worries. And that means, if you're feeling particularly irked by the miscreant you're dealing with, you can put all your wrath into applying the implement with all your strength. A third, often overlooked but nonetheless significant advantage, is that other pupils (even if they had themselves felt the slipper on a previous occasion and therefore knew just how painful it could be) would show little sympathy or respect for a classmate who had 'only been slippered' as opposed to being caned.

Outdoor spanking revisited

 Following my feature in June about outdoor punishments, I just came across this interesting video clip...

Favourite for August

 

I suspect that this is a fairly accurate re-enactment of a school-type paddling of the kind still used in some schools in the USA today. Someone who had been paddled on a previous occasion might realise that bending over this fully in a classic 'grab your ankles' pose could possibly be avoided, but someone for whom this was their very first experience of being on the receiving end might feel obliged to comply to the letter with the instructions given to them. And, I imagine, while she may have heard accounts from others of what it felt like when the heavy wooden paddle landed on a young girl's bottom, they would probably still be shocked when they experienced it for themselves. The first loud crack and accompanying fiery pain would probably make them wonder how on earth they could stay in position for the three whacks they had been promised, but fear would keep them rooted to the spot.

Favourite for July

 

I do like it when someone takes a traditional school CP scene and brings it up to date. We all know that, certainly in the UK, corporal punishment won't be coming back to our schools anytime soon, or, indeed, ever. But just imagine, if it did...

Some schools enforce old-fashioned uniform rules, and the girls all wear knee-length skirts. However, visit your average comprehensive and there is a lot more latitude. If a modern-day schoolgirl were faced with being caned across her bottom, there seem to be two possibilities. One possibility is that that they would be wearing an obscenely short skirt over dark black tights and if they bent over in time-honoured fashion they would probably be exposing an alarmingly scant pair of knickers, thinly veiled by their tights, and the caning would, to all intents and purposes, be on their bare bottoms. The other is that they would be wearing a pair of tight, stretchy trousers, which might be a little less explicit, but which, nonetheless, would provide an excellent outline of the target area. Given advance notice that a caning was a distinct possibility when visiting the head's office, I suspect many would choose to wear a pair of trousers that day. And I might be in a minority of one, but I quite like the idea of delivering six firm strokes of the cane across a tightly trousered posterior. I'm sure the recipient would quickly learn that tight trousers only provide for an illusion of protection from the first sharp crack to the last.
