I do NOT enjoy a spanking that starts out too heavy too soon. I suppose if I put myself in the frame of mind to receive a "cold" caning with no warmup, I would manage. However, I prefer a painful pleasure with my spankings.
Rather than spanking over pants or underwear, my wife starts right out with my bare bottom, but she strikes lightly no matter what implement she is using. After a minute or two, when I'm pink and warmed up, she begins to increase the intensity. After another couple of minutes, she can pretty much smack me with full force and, of course, it hurts, but it hurts soooooo gooooooood.
In the early days of our spanking adventures, my wife would start swinging away right at the start thinking I just wanted a good, hard spanking. I would have to stop her and remind her I needed a warm-up period.
For my spanking sessions, my wife or I will select three to five implements from our stash of about 15 implements that includes eight wooden paddles in a variety of shapes and sizes, two leather paddles, one strap, two wooden bath brushes, two Delrin canes, one large wooden strainer spoon, two wooden spoons, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Sometimes we play "Name that Paddle" where I try to guess which paddle she is using. I can really only recognize the distinct feel of about three of the many paddles: the large wooden strainer spoon, each of the two leather paddles, and the long, narrow wooden paddle.
