Spanking after a long break

This is a question for people who had regularly been spanked for discipline and pleasure but then had a long break (a year or more) with no spanking which was then resumed, maybe with a new partner. I am interested to know how your perception of spankings changed? Did not being spanked for a long while change your pain tolerance and/or psychological or physical reactions?

Longest i have managed to go without being Smacked is 6months, and even then it seemed to hurt alot more 😢
