Sensuous Spanking 

Spanking is much more personal and intimate than other forms of discipline. There is nothing quite like the feel of your slave bent over your knee, bare ass arched upwards, quivering with a combination of fear and anticipation. For the bottom, too, it provides a very unique feeling - both physically and mentally.

One of the factors that sets spanking apart from other forms of discipline is the deliberate and sometimes ceremonial positioning of the participants. While some spankings are haphazard, I prefer spankings that include the ritual of positioning. Both the spankee and spanker adopt positions that facilitate and enhance the spanking. These positions generally work to the advantage of the spanker and the disadvantage of he spankee. The spanker enjoys the following advantages from their position:

Whether standing or sitting, the spanker is positioned to be comfortable throughout the spanking. They are able to swing their arm at a natural angle and able to sustain a lengthy spanking with ease because of their position. Because they are able to wind up and freely swing their arm at a natural angle, the spanker is able to apply swats to the intended target with force.

While standing, the spanker cannot only swing their arm but rotate their body to deliver maximum energy to an anxiously awaiting, clenched derriere. The spankee's position is designed to fully expose their bottom and the spanker's relative position is designed to put that bottom at a convenient angle and height. Therefore, the spanker is able to view, tweak, pat and spank it. Because the spanker is in position to easily
spank, the rear-end at the correct angle, it is much less likely that a blow will fall too high or too low. The spanker's position gives them the "upper hand" and allows them to easily control the spankee. They sit or stand higher than the spankee and are easily able to restrain and situate the spankee. The spankee realizes the following effects from their position:

Except for the notable exception of their backside, I think it's important that the spankee be relatively comfortable so they can focus on the sensations being inflicted upon their posterior. Bending over and getting into position to get your bottom blisters signals the beginning of the spanking and builds anticipation.

A properly positioned bottom will tend to be spanked harder and more completely on the sensitive "sit spot." Being put over the knee is a childish, humiliating posture. Having to "assume the position" is humiliating in its submission and rubs in the fact that they are being spanked. A properly positioned bottom is fully exposed. The cheeks are fully presented and split, their undersides turned up. In the case of men,
the anus and back of the scrotum show. Women are even more exposed, their rectums and vulvas fully visible. Spanking positions place the center of attention on the bottom of the person being spanked, a fact not lost on said person. The bottom is emphasized by its exposure and upturned position relative to the spanker.

Not only is the bottom exposed and emphasized but the spankee feels they are willingly "sticking it out" and presenting it for its punishment in the same way that the condemned man must place his head on the chopping block. The spankee knows their bottom cannot evade or escape the swats. Cooperatively getting into position to be spanked is the primary act of submission in spanking.

Once positioned, the spankee has relinquished control and may not easily regain it until the spanking is done. They may have difficulty removing their rear from the line of fire if they try. When standing, one can clench their cheeks together, mitigating the sting of a swat and the exposure. When properly positioned, it is more difficult to clench cheeks and the spanking will be applied to a relaxed bouncing bottom.

Speaking from the point of view of an admitted bottom fancier, there are few times that someone looks more adorable and beautiful than when he or she is positioned to be spanked. Not only is the bottom emphasized, but it is formed to a flattering shape and sexily perked out. Spanking positions would be sexy even to people not into spanking.



SPECIFIC POSITIONS

Following are descriptions of various positions that I find erotic, their distinguishing characteristics, tactics that can be used to enhance them, and precautions to take. All descriptions assume a right-handed spanker.



OVER THE LAP

The spanker sits with good posture in an armless chair, knees together. The person being spanked must lay down across the spanker's lap, with their head to the left and their feet to the right. They must be over the lap far enough so their bottom is conveniently located directly over the spanker's right thigh. In order to preserve modesty, the person being spanked may be tempted to lie flat with their head up and legs straight out behind; however, if they are concerned for their modesty, they
shouldn't have gotten themselves spanked in the first place. The spankee's head and shoulders should be angled down and their knees tucked down out of the way so that their bottom is well turned up. A palm pressed against the back of the head and swats to the thighs are helpful in positioning the spankee. Knees should be at least six inches
apart and the lower back should be "arched" or dipped to further turn up their rear. For a woman, this will result in her vulva being fully exposed and presented.

Depending on size, toes will either be resting against the floor or hoisted off a few inches. The full weight of the spankee should be resting on the lap. Hands can either be on the floor or grasping the legs of the chair. If the right hand flies back during spanking, it should be pinned to the lower back by the spanker's left hand. Prior to starting to spank, the spanker should firmly grasp the spankee's waist above the right
hip with the left hand to prevent squirming off the lap. Then the left elbow should be planted between the shoulder blades to keep the head and shoulders from bobbing up. The spanker should raise their right knee slightly, turning the bottom further. By turning their upper body to the right, the spanker can get a fuller swing and more comfortably apply a stronger swat. By combining all of these tactics - the raised knee,
the elbow in the back, the hand in the small of the back - the spanker can effectively pin the spankee down and spank the daylights out of them.



OVER THE KNEE

Similar to over-the-lap except the spankee is bent over the left knee with their legs restrained by the spanker's right leg.



HANDS ON ANKLES

This is the classic school-style paddling position. The student must stand well clear of obstacles with feet shoulder width apart. Leaving knees straight and back straight, the  student must bend over and grasp their ankles with both hands. The spanker may want  to observe the student's hands throughout the paddling to ensure they do not leave  the ankles and earn extra swats. The spanker stands facing the left side of the student.  They should stand far enough away so the paddle barely overlaps past the right cheek.
