A typical CP session with Dana Specht might begin with a brisk spanking from her seasoned hand, followed by smacks with a leather paddle and so forth, gradually building up to some of her more severe implements, like the legendary Nu-West hairbrush you see here.

The slow escalation of the spanking allows blood to flow to the buttocks, creating a cushion of fluid between the skin and the nerve endings beneath, and also allows the body’s own endorphins to reduce the actual pain experienced by the recipient.

The spanking still hurts, but it’s kept within the spankee’s level of tolerance — though that might be tested from time to time.

A punishment spanking is a different matter, though. There is no compassionate warm up, just a hard hairbrush — or some other unforgiving implement – expertly applied to cold, naked skin.

This bare-bottomed young man is about to get a hot seat he’ll never forget!
