How hard did your parents spank compared to other parents?

I've never been spanked by anyone else's parents so I don't have any other point of reference. But I'm gonna guess that the belt spankings me and my two brothers grew up with were harder and more painful in comparison to most kids, especially in the 90's when spanking was declining in popularity. (Although I bet our spankings were still tame compared to the good old fashioned spankings common in the 50's and 60's.)

For those who did get spanked by more people than just your own parents, how did your parents compare? Did you fear your own parents' spankings much more than your friends' parents and would your friends perhaps even agree that your parents give a much harder spanking?

Now, how would I know that? If anybody else's parents had tried to whip me my dad would have been headed to their house with a .45 and a bad attitude.

I only know my friends' spankings from stories.Some of my friends received very brutal beatings. One similar one had wounds on her buttocks. I received painful spankings, but the only marks I had were very red ones. buttocks.

I was spanked twice by another person. One was my aunt, the other a teacher (female). Both spankings were weaker than those from my mother. However, they were more embarrassing for me. They took place without witnesses, but I had to show my bare buttocks.
