The eagle eyed may have noticed the absence of a "favourite' last month.  I hope this one makes up for it.

For me this is a classic example of "less is more" - ultra realistic school CP image.  We're only seeing a snapshot in time and there's no punishment taking place right now but maybe we can figure out what's going on...

We have the stern looking headmaster who has just had the unpleasant task of caning two of the senior girls.  We have the female assistant teacher, present as a requirement when he has to punish female pupils, and now looking intently at the cane she's just seen being used - perhaps remembering her own schooldays or perhaps wondering just what it would feel like.

And we have the two schoolgirls - heads bowed slightly and no doubt looking very sombre as they leave the office. Both unable to stop themselves from putting a hand to the seats of their skirts, very aware of the tremendous pain they've just experienced, and the shameful nature of the whole experience.  A lesson well learned we hope.

The Wonderful World Of Spanking Fun

$

I'm forever fascinated by the diversity of spanking related activity that takes place all over the world, just for fun, and often involving those who don't share any sort of regular interest in the activity (unlike those who tend to visit this page).

For example there are certain hospitality businesses that have built a big reputation for spanking related fun.

First and foremost there's the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas where anyone failing to finish their outrageously large helping of deliberately unhealthy food is liable to get three swats with a wooden paddle across their backside in full view of everyone else in the restaurant.  There are dozens of videos out there on the internet and in most cases they don't seem be any too gentle although it's always done with good humour on all sides.

Then there is the Hofbräuhaus chain of bars all over the world.
I've never been to one so I can only piece together what I see on video clips online but there seems to be occasions such as birthdays that warrant a customer being invited to be paddled.  Also, they sometimes seem to be based on customers in a particular party drinking shots and then each getting paddled with the shots paddle.  Again, much laughter and hilarity for all, most of whom probably have no interest in spanking at other times.  These seem to just involve a single swat but they look hard enough to sting for some while.

Then there's some overtly sexual festivals where it is much less surprising that spanking fun appears - I'm thinking of the Folsom Street Fair that originated in San Francisco but now seems to pop up in other major cities as well...
...and various Exxxotica exhibitions...
Again, these are hardly "mainstream" events but still I suspect the spectators may not all be into spanking related activity outside of these events.
I don't know whether to include the Burning Man Festival in Nevada in this section as well - I don't think it's really a sexually themed event like the previous two, but spanking related activity (in this case a belting) seem to occur quite often.  I've read a bit about Burning Man but I'm still not sure I really know what it's all about.

Then there are a few European examples that I find very strange.  Firstly, there's the Easter Monday tradition in the Czech Republic of groups of boys/men going round whipping young women in some sort of fertility ritual known as pomlázka.  That this continues to survive in the politically correct "metoo" era seems wonderfully bizarre.
The consensus seems to be that it is less accepted today in big cities and is more prevalent in rural communities (although it is not absent in cities either) and that those girls who really don't want to become involved are unlikely to be pressured. Some of the girls seem to go along with it, albeit without much enthusiasm (perhaps because it seems to often involve getting doused in cold water as well as being whipped), while others joyfully enter into the fun of the whole occasion.  Again, probably for the majority, they never think of spanking fun at any other time.

Also coming from central Europe is Krampus - a sort of Christmas antidote to St Nicholas who, instead of being a jovial man bringing gifts for good boy and girls, is half-goat half-demon with a bundle of sticks for beating bad boys and girls. Very occasionally this also gets acted out.
Of courses there are "birthday spankings" all over the world, although predominantly in the USofA. The most common scenario is where one person gets to administer the hand spanking to the recipient's bottom - either a single smack (sometimes quite hard) or one for each year being celebrated "plus one to grow on" - in the latter case the main part is usually just symbolic but the extra one at the end can be quite hard.  Sometimes everyone at the party gets to give one smack - sometimes they stand in a line, legs apart, and the birthday boy/girl has to crawl through the tunnel while the others try to smack their bottom as many times as they can.

But the example that always seem most odd to me is Poland - reputedly the first country in the world to ban corporal punishment in their schools.  Nevertheless it seems that there is considerable enthusiasm for a birthday spanking, especially on the occasion of an eighteenth birthday.
This appears to be a very widespread practice (confirmed by a Polish friend of mine who remembered her eighteenth birthday with the spanking as being "the best bit of the whole night" - but then she is one of us!).  The subject seems to usually be put over a chair or over the lap of someone sitting on a chair (who can then stop them moving around too much) and most times a belt is used and passed around the group until everyone there has delivered one stroke across the celebrating party's bottom. Most of those involved will not be spankos normally.  Two things in particular I always look out for.  Sometimes one or both parents of the subject are at the party and get to give a whack with the belt, perhaps for the last time! Some of the spankers clearly make it very symbolic and barely touch the subject's bottom with the belt but most times a few seem to really relish the opportunity and deliver a real stinger.  The birthday boy or girl may be unable to not react to some of the harder whacks but they generally come out laughing and smiling.

Only very recently I came across another truly bizarre example of this genre from Japan.  We're used to seeing Japanese game show participants sometimes being subject to some very painful and humiliating torture so perhaps this one shouldn't come as a surprise.

Male and female members of the public at the Onda Festival are pursued by masked men trying to hit them with a bamboo stick - another fertility ritual apparently.  Although they sometimes give very gentle taps to children who are there, they're often far from gentle with the adults - usually it's just a single hit aross the bottom but some of them look like they really hurt, although everyone is usually laughing at the end.  There are loads of video clips for this out there so I don't know why I've not seen them previously.

A lot of things going on with this image that make it really interesting to me.  For one thing, there's pretty strong evidence that in the UK the tawse (in Scotland) and cane (most of England, Wales and Northern Ireland) were the favoured implements used for corporal punishment in school during the 20th century, the slipper (usually, in practice, a gymshoe/plimsoll/sandshoe/dab) was often the secondary choice, and probably, as such, gets under represented in the adult CP sites that try to depict "school" type scenarios.

In some schools, the standard rule was apparently that boys got the cane and girls got the slipper.  Where girls were subject to the cane, it was usually given on the hand, but it is generally the case that the slipper could only really be effectively applied to the bottom - hence in treating girls with the apparent leniency of the slipper rather than the cane, they were nevertheless exposing them to the greater humiliation of being punished on the bottom rather than the hands.

It was also, to a large extent, the case that if the person inflicting the punishment chose, the slipper could hurt almost as much as the cane (although the pain from a caning probably lasted for longer) so that those on the receiving end were probably not being given credit for how serious their punishment was.  After all, if you cane someone across their bottom, you need to stop the stroke at some point shortly after impact or risked damage to the cane - because the slipper flexes much more you can apply as much force as you want.

Another common rule in UK schools was that, where corporal punishment was to be used on girls, it could only be given by a female member of staff.  Of course, this rests on the assumption that male staff hitting a girl might derive some enjoyment or might be able to hit harder than necessary.  Of course, the reality was that there were probably some female members of staff who were more attracted to girls than boys and could get quite a kick out of physically punishing one of them.  I suspect that in some schools the girls would have their suspicions about some of the female staff and would probably have preferred to be punished by a male teacher if they had the choice. It would probably also be the case that many male teachers might hold back a bit when punishing a girl whereas a female member of staff may not feel the same need to be sparing.

There is also a widespread view on sites that depict corporal punishment of "schoolgirls" that skirts would either be so short that if they had to bend over, their knickers would be exposed or, alternatively, that the pleating and volume of material in the skirt would impede physical punishment and necessitate it being turned back.  Both of those were, probably, often the case, but some girls did choose to wear quite tight pencil skirts and bending over then would simply tighten the material across her bottom in much the same way that boys trousers were tightly stretched by the act of bending.

I do appreciate that some people will react negatively to this post because it is self-evidently non-consensual. However, in defence I would point out that it has been posted on the website of the UK newspaper The Sun so it is very much out there already.  Under the headline Moment raging woman uses plank to whack bare buttocks of randy couple she caught have (sic) sex in bush in Russia, there is a short account of what happened with some stills and the video.  I think most people would assume there are some significant risks in completely getting naked (as the girl appears to have done) or even partially naked (as per the guy) while you're in a bush.  Sharp twigs, stones and maybe even nettles come to mind as evident hazards.  What they probably weren't expecting was for their antics to catch the attention of a nearby resident who take matters into her own hands.  I do find it discriminatory that she whacks the guy five times and the girl only twice - in this age I feel more equality is called for - but she does appear to lay on some pretty hard swats so I'm sure the girl would have got the message concerning the woman's displeasure and had some very red marks to show for it.  The video quality here isn't great although it is quite a bit better on The Sun's page. Those familiar with the newspaper in question won't be surprised that the comments of readers were totally unsympathetic to the victims and all on the side of the woman.

Something of a tradition going on here.  If you got corporal punishment at school and especially if it had been across your bottom, there was often an expectation that you would display the marks for inspection by your school mates.  In my opinion, this worked at its best in the English tradition where the cane would have been the most usual implement.  There is nothing more dramatic than seeing six red cane stripes across a pale creamy bottom.  It was a good way of earning some kudos from your classmates and, hopefully, some admiration for how well you'd coped with your ordeal. Being English, I may be biased, but I don't really feel the marks left by a paddle or strap are nearly as good and when times changed and it became more normal to cane across the hands, it would be unusual to get interesting marking.

In the fascinating book "Terms and Conditions - Life in Girls' Boarding Schools 1939-1979" by Ysenda Maxtone Graham there is an account of three girls who decided to run away from their school and took refuge with a local family who phoned the school to arrange for them to be returned. While the school representative was very friendly and concerned for the girls when they were with the family, the tone changed as soon as they were on their way back to the school.

The girls were kept in confinement in the main part of the house that night: the scented, carpeted, mahogany, potpourri side. Later the next day they were released back into the community but we were told we should not speak to them.  With horror and fascination we watched as Joanna slowly pulled up her skirt, pulled down her white summer pants and showed us five red parallel stripes across her buttocks.  All three girls had been caned.

The detail that I found surprising was that it was five strokes - there are plenty of examples of extracts from school punishment books on the internet to give us an idea of what was normal practice. Overall, the majority refer to caning on the hand and are typically one, two or three strokes - sometimes all on one hand and sometimes on both - so rarely more than six strokes in total. Where there are references to caning on the bottom it seems to almost always be two, four or six strokes. The examples of caning on the hands are often for relatively trivial offences like talking in class.  At schools like mine that level of offence would generally have led to writing lines or an after-school detention whereas caning across the bottom was only for really serious offences - I never heard of a case where they didn't get either four strokes or six strokes.  So, as I said, five sounds strange - however, the book is all drawn from first hand accounts so I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the story.   

Curious to know from friends across the pond whether in schools an the USofA there is any tradition of inspecting the marks after being paddled at school?

Oh yes, almost forgot the image!

Behind the scenes

The sorts of spanko websites I find myself looking at and the images and clips that interest me tend not to appear to be consensual.  I mean, I believe and hope that they are consensual, but scenes where the couple are fooling around and the girl is laughing and joking while getting spanked really don't do much for me.

That's why I think it's good that, at least from time to time, they publish some behind the scenes material to reassure the viewer, especially if they tend to the more severe end of the scale.  There are various ways they find of doing this.

This first image is quite old from the set of the Janus movie trilogy St Winifreds and is just a posed image of all the girls and some of the crew "on-set" looking relaxed and happy.



The next image is more contemporary with a bunch of girls chilling out with tea/coffee before the start of a day of shooting for one of Clare Fonda's Strictwood Academy films.



A slightly different approach here from Northern Spanking with an image taken when everyone started laughing during a scene and they had to take a break from shooting. They used to regularly put out clips on their website of the out-takes, many of which came about when people fluffed lines or were laughing too much. In the first image Jadie Reece couldn't stop herself laughing and then set the others off.


In the second Northern Spanking image they'd all been laughing and this image was shot as they regrouped themselves to restart filming - the scene was called Classroom Chaos and I think they were just enjoying making the chaos a bit too much.


I don't actually know the producer of this next image but they were definitely shooting s spanking movie.  Camera and lights are all set up, one girl is busy checking through the script while the others are goofing around waiting to get started - it looks very much as if the blonde girl is finding it hilarious to pretend to smack her own bottom.


Another one I'm afraid I can identify although it might be another Strictmoor Academy scene.  It looks as if they're taking a break in the middle of shooting - some of the girls have clearly already got pretty red bottoms , one is having the state of her marking checked out, and one has decided to start a bir of a riot at the front of the class.  All very clear indicators that, sore bottoms or not, they're all having a fun time.


Mood Pictures (aka Elite Pain) have no time for hilarity and lightheartedness in their films.  They are very severe and it is not unusual for them to draw blood. However they do a whole series of separate films under the Castings label where potential actresses are firstly interviewed about their experiences in a fairly friendly manner - a surprising number have no prior experience of corporal punishment suggesting that they may not be in the best place. They are then asked to strip naked for their "audition" where they are required to endure 50 hard strokes of the cane across their bottom and thighs. Many call for for it to be stopped long before they get to the end - this one, named Yasmine Taylor, managed just eight.  The premise is that usually only those that reach the full fifty will be offered a paid role in one of Mood's movies.

From the producer's point of view this is probably quite sensible because of the costs that will be involved if someone decides they don't want to be filmed nude or they can't go on in the middle of an expensive shoot, perhaps involving several girls. It also makes sense given that their studios were raided during a shoot a few years ago by armed police and accused of coercion (an interesting film appeared on YouTube - still there if you care to search for in YouTube). It may also reassure those viewing their material (it's a bit too extreme for me) that the girls are going into it willingly, if not necessarily for enjoyment of the process then at least for the financial rewards.
 

Next, one from the guys at Spanking Server/Pain4Fem. I haven't seen much behind-the-scenes stuff from them and in general the girls are very quiet and compliant and sometimes get quite hard punishments which they take with the minimum of fuss.  They tend to be quasi-judicial scenes where they just have to take what is being dished out to them.  This is a really unusual picture of one of their models clearly enjoying the whole thing while they're taking a break in proceedings, despite the fact that she's being held down securely in what is probably quite an uncomfortable position and is probably about to to get her bottom whipped.


Another studio that does some fairly severe and certainly authentic stuff is the one that started as Rigid East, morphed into Lupus Pictures, and is now Quirky Way.  Their website has a number of images behind the scenes.

These include, the players rehearsing scenes in their normal street clothes before getting into costume...


...generally goofing around for the camera...


... or lying tummy down, sometimes with a cloth soaked in cold water to ease their discomfort at the end of a shoot...




...and getting some much needed refreshment.  Whatever, it is pretty clear that, while the punishment doled out in their scenes are for real and would be pretty painful, the girls clearly enjoy it.  A number of them have appeared in several movies for the site.

The last studio I've looked at is best know for RealSpankings.com. I can remember a long time ago they used to advertise for potential models on their website quoting rates dependent on whether the girl would show her face, whether she would take her clothes off and whether spankings had to be faked or for real.  They've come a long way since then.

The punishments now are all for real and in some cases are quite strong.  Rather like Mood, each new model first of all does an interview/spanking movie but these are much more light hearted and less robust.  They chat for a bit first and almost all of their models are into the scene already, at least with their boyfriend, and some have 'played' in front of others at spanking parties. Then, like Mood, they are required to get full undressed in front of the cameras to make sure they're happy to do that, and then they're put into a classic OTK position and given a quite lengthy but light hand spanking. Even a light hand spanking begins to tingle if it goes on long enough so there's usually a little bit of wriggling and reaction before the end.  Nowadays they usually then pause before given a final 10 hand smacks with the kind of force they would normally use on a shoot.  Then they take a look at the marks and chat a bit more with the model.  Most don't have much of a problem with the scene and many, such as Mabel seen here, seem to have really enjoyed themselves.  At present, because of COVID-19, they've adapted to  use a leather paddle 


RealSpankings also do quite a few scenes that are not really in role at all - sometimes getting models to try different implements and compare them, or (not so much recently) getting them to punish each other.  They have a long running series called School Swats where they aim to re-create what a school paddling might be like.  That follows a well established pattern - the girl is normally dressed, pulls down her jeans and panties to show the existing level of marking and then pulls them back up, bends over ad gets the swats over her jeans delivered pretty well full on.  The one concession to the fact these are experienced and mature spankos and not frightened teenagers is that they give ten swats which is way more than is used in contemporary

I first came across this image in the second copy of Janus magazine that I purchased (although the image reproduced below comes from elsewhere).  They were running a series about spanking scenes in mainstream movies and this one featured June Allyson in the film 'Too Young To Kiss'.

The plot of the movie (from IMDb) is "Eric Wainwright (Van Johnson), a busy impresario, is besieged by hordes of wannabe concert stars, eager for their big break.  One of them is Cynthia Potter (June Allyson), a talented pianist... but she can't get in to see him.  When she learns that Wainwright is auditioning young musicians for a children's concert tour, Cynthia dons braces and bobby sox and passes herself off as a child prodigy."

On the occasion that led to the spanking she had thrown his cigarettes in the swimming pool.

I loved the image then and I still do now - I've always had a thing for ankle socks for starters!  A good traditional OTK hand spanking over the seat of her skirt was far more exciting to me than all the girls in what is more typically seen as "sexy" clothing such as the one featured on the cover of that particular magazine (shown at the end of the post).  

Unfortunately, as was quite often the case, the still shot for publicity purposes was very unlike the actual scene in the movie. Although Van Johnson's attire is more appropriate for being in the swimming pool, June's dressing gown would have rendered his attempt to spank her bottom even more ineffective than the skirt in the publicity still (and the ankle socks were missing!).  I often wonder why those doing the stills knew so much better than the film's director what an audience would enjoy.

Spanking scenes in mainstream movies have always been interesting to me.

Here's that magazine cover I promised - the gold printing did make it feel like a special edition.



Dreams (or nightmares?)

I had a very strange dream last night.  I was in London for a meeting but it wasn't London as we know it in the 21st century.  It was very grimy, the air was polluted, and not many people were about.  I had some time to kill before my meeting so I decided to take a walk around Soho.  It was quite early so places weren't really opening up yet for the day but down a little back lane I came across a shop with the sign JANUS over the door.  It wasn't open but as I stood looking at it the owners arrived to open up for the day and agreed that I could go in and have a look around.

It was quite gloomy and dusty inside - nothing like the Janus shop I remember on Old Compton Street.  There were a small number of enlarged colour images from the covers of old Janus magazines but for the most part everything on display for sale was produced by hand,  Someone had spent hours writing out longhand stories from old magazines that they had memorised and there were hand-drawn sketches of some of the photos that had appeared in those magazines. I didn't know what to make of it but at that moment one of the staff discovered a dead bat on the floor.

Like most dreams it just sort of ended there without any satisfactory conclusion.  All rather post-apocalyptic although it wasn't scary - it just seemed entirely natural. Perhaps this global pandemic thing is getting to me!

New Book?

Someone recently emailed me a comment about my "new" book published through the Library Of Spanking Fiction.  Although nice comments are always welcome I was a little surprised as I didn't know there was a new book.  It turns out that they've now published the previously offered 'The Spanked Schoolgirl Volume 1' and 'The Spanked Schoolgirl Volume 2' as a combined work.  Fine with me - I agreed a while back that they could keep whatever they could make from publishing them to go towards their running costs.  However, I wouldn't want anyone to part with cash for something they already have.

As for the question of whether they will ever be a Volume 3...?  Well, it's a good time to ask. I haven't been writing much for a while but I am close to completing another short story very soon and when that's done there will be five more heading off to the LSF website.  Watch this space!

Sorry it's a couple of days late - I blame my ISP for constantly dropping my connection...

Here's an old classic that has been going 'round on the whole World Wide Webby thing for ages.  I think it's almost certainly from NuWest.  It's one of those scenes where you have to wish the production qualities then could have been what they are now, and that we could have an image not scanned from a magazine (with some print showing through from the other side of the page). Nevertheless, the atmosphere is really electric.

It appears to be an American school scene and I believe this came at the conclusion to the story when the three naughty schoolgirls have each been subject to a very hard punishment with a wooden paddle across their knickers. Half of their attention is on the throbbing in their bottoms and they are clearly in some distress as they clutch their behinds hoping to ease the pain.  However, the much calmer vice-principal isn't ready to let them go just yet, and not before warning them that if there were to be any repetition of their behaviour she should have no hesitation in giving them a severe caning.

If you know anything about me from reading my blog, you'll know that I like everything going around the punishment, just as much as the punishment scene itself.  I like to know the reasons for the punishment, the reaction of the one to be punished, and, of course, their response afterwards.

Hence I really like this image produced by the team at Punished Brats - perhaps not one of the biggest producers in this area but one with some very lovely models and consistently high production standards.

She's obviously in trouble already but what we all know just from this one snatched image is that the way she's reacting to being told off is going to make things a whole lot worse for her just now. I'd bet money on her having a very red and sore bottom in a few minutes time and she's making it so much more severe a hiding than it ever needed to be if she'd just had the good sense to show a little contrition...

I don't know what's going to happen here, but I would hazard a guess that if this guy is strong enough to pick his girl like this and carry her up to the bedroom, there's every possibility that he will be strong enough to deliver a very effective spanking to her bare backside, and she should probably prepare herself to be sobbing and have a fiery red bottom in a few moments time.

Caned at school and sent home for the rest of the week.  It was her first experience of being caned and she was shocked by how much it hurt.  Of course, she only had her thin summer gingham-check dress and cotton knickers for protection but she figured Mrs Evans must have really laid them on extra hard.

To add insult to injury, Mrs Evans had said that if Chloe got sent to her again for such behaviour she could expect a full six strokes with a heavier cane and that would really give her something to cry about.  It sounded like a threat just to intimidate her further - she couldn't imagine anything hurting more than this -but it was quite scary at the same time.

Fortunately, on reaching home, she had the house to herself - for a while at least.  She pulled her panties down to check out the damage in a mirror - the marks looked like they would be with her for a few days.  She knew the school had phoned her mum and told her everything that had happened so she'd probably get another bollocking later and her dad would be livid with her for getting suspended.  For now, she decided not to endure the extra discomfort of pulling the tight knicker elastic back over her sore bottom and she lay face-down on the bed to let it all cool down a bit.  

I have a personal reason why green gingham check has always meant a lot to me so this really is strong favourite and she has got a lovely bottom.  So lovely that I think some further chastisement is probably justified...

Sorry, don't know the origins of this one.

Sadly, over the years, many spanko websites that were once cherished favourites have disappeared.  This is a dramatic break from that pattern with one of them suddenly reappearing.  Laura's Spanking Corner was probably the first site to feature some of my writing other than the ASS and SSS newsgroups - for some reason, at the time, I requested she didn't provide my email address but, clearly, I'm perfectly happy now for people to contact me by email.

The site could do with a drastic update - maybe that will happen in due course.  Many of the links don't work but that acts as a further reminder of sites I used to visit regularly and enjoy.

Happy New Year!


I do like to see a good reaction and this one from Institute of Discipline (aka Full Force Spanking/The Lazy Maid) surely delivers that.  It looks like a classic gymslip uniform.  The girl is gripping the desk legs as if her life depends on it.  I love the contrast between the expression on her face as she shrieks with pain as the cane lands, compared to the expression of her tormentor - ruthless and contemptuous. There will not be any leniency here - she's getting a thorough caning and she'll know about it for a few days to come.

More Movie Bloopers

I've talked before about the little things that sometimes go wrong in spanko films which you wouldn't get away with in Hollywood. This isn't to have a go at these film producers - it's just a bit of fun really, and we do realise that when you've just given your leading lady a sound thrashing on her bare bottom and take a look at the footage, you're not going to wait for the marks to fade so that you can shoot it again without that stray accessory in shot.

The main problem seems to come down largely to tripods, microphones and other people.  Tripods especially seem to yearn stardom and crop up over and over again.


Here's a great example - I mean, what schoolroom doesn't keep a hefty video tripod in the back corner? 


And even in this long shot from AEG, the foot of a tripod can't resist making an appearance.


And who doesn't have a tripod or two in their bedroom?


And when you're about to place your leading lovely face-down on a whipping bench, tie her down, and giver her bottom a thorough caning, well there's another handy tripod.


I've used a microphone on occasions when giving presentations - especially in large lecture theatres - but they were usually discreetly clipped on a lapel.  This one seems a bit overly intrusive in an ordinary sized schoolroom.


Mirrors are also rather tricky things to film with.  Look really closely on this one and you'll see the hand held camera filming itself.

However, the biggest problem seems to be other people.


In this AEG scene a crew member seemed to find it necessary to cross bottom-left, just as the hand spanking of the first model (Corey) was getting interesting.  However, what seems really strange...


...is that when the second girl, Holly, is being spanked, the same crew member appears to need to make the same journey for a second time.


In this Xerotics scene we can see not one, but two males in the background as the girl is being told what she's done wrong and what she's going to get for it - one in a suit in an adjacent room to the left and one by the window.


Perhaps if you shoot a lot of these films, it all becomes a bit "same old" but I'm pretty sure if was there and this very lovely young lady was about to have her bare bottom caned, I'd be a lot less disinterested than the guy in the window.

The suited guy also seems not interested enough to watch.  I have seen another Xerotics clip with the same lead model that appears to be shot on the same premises where she is in trouble with her headmaster for getting three detentions.  I pretty strongly suspect that the suited guy is that headmaster just waiting for his scene to come around.


We don't see quite enough to know whether they guy in the background of this one is a cameraman, director or interested onlooker but at least he's looking in the right direction to see the action.


This a straightforward one-on-one scene with the girl getting her bare bottom turned a nice rosy shade. Simple and straightforward - nothing can go wrong.  Well nothing except the spare lighting rigs in the background, the camera tripod to the side - oh, and another model wearing a schoolgirl outfit waiting for her scene to come around.

You'd think that cameramen of all those present would understand that cameras tend to film whatever's in front of them.


So, if you thrust you hand-held in for a really tight close-up, there's a very good chance that the fixed camera is going to record it. 


Which is bad enough when you just get your camera in shot, but...


...is probably worse when you become the unexpected star of the show.

With thanks to all the hard working people - behind the cameras and in front (and sometimes, both) who devote their time to making this stuff for us.

Another classic one from, perhaps, the best era of Janus magazine - the very lovely Cynthia featured in Janus 21.  Janus was generally wary of showing too much in the way of punishment marks but this time they made an exception and she ended up with some distinctive cane marks across her bottom.  You can see a clearer view of her face in one of my earlier posts when she wasn't wincing with pain (although she was looking a tad concerned!) - I always thought she had a bit of the Princess Di look about her (not that we  ever got to see the royal bare bottom with red cane marks across it).

Attention to detail

In my opinion too many spanko sites just want to get to the spanking sequences straight away and don't pay enough attention to a realistic build-up - the reason for the punishment, the telling off and so on.  A great example of doing this right was the two naughty schoolgirls in the Red Stripe movie, "Demoted to the Fourth".  In the first scene the headmistress, Miss Hayworth, gives the two a thorough telling off and carries out an impromptu underwear inspection.  

Unsurprisingly, as is the way these days, both girls have very skimpy white knickers under their black tights so Emily and Annabel find themselves demoted to a younger class at the school.

There is evident humiliation for them in having to replace their senior uniform with the uniform for younger girls - grey gymslips, white knee socks and 'sensible' panties. 


It's a nice extra touch before the punishment really begins (although I must confess that I have a personal preference for the appearance of the the first uniform and the opportunity it offered to demonstrate the disadvantages of their inadequate underwear).
