I remember my first caning, 3 gentle taps, then WHACK,WHACK,WHACK! 'I don't believe in a slow build up' she said and delivered another 3 from the other side. I was pleading for mercy when she told me 'stop snivelling , or i'll make your 30 , 60'. I did and received the most wonderful caning from a true professional who i have re-visited on several occassions.
