Thigh punishment

A switching on the naked legs ,as well as or instead of the bottom,was a common method of punishment in older days, particularly in rural areas and the South. For one thing, there usually plenty convenient trees and bushes to cut a switch from. Not so much in urban areas with people living in apartment buildings.

In addition the sting a switch left stripes, marks which would last for some time, and of course could show below dress hemlines,letting those who saw know what had happened. Someone who had received a switching would not care to put on a bathing suit and go to the pool or beach!

Have often thought that back when corporal punishment was more common and accepted, that when more revealing fashion for young ladies came along, like short shorts in the late 1940s and early 50s, that some girls may have gotten switchings on their legs for wearing them, from disapproving elders. Likewise with mini-skirts in the 60s. Would hear of girls sent home from school for too short skirts. Wonder if any ever got their legs switched- which would have very effectively prevented them from wearing a mini-skirt for awhile. Or short shorts.

I hate thigh spankings. I jump with each smack and will do or say anything for her to stop or move back to my bottom. When I am being spanked for severe behavior short comings like staying out too late with the guys, my bottom gets bright red and I'm crying, she will finish on my thighs. I hate that so much. :-(

Very common in my infant school (5-7) in the 1960s. Boys wore shorts and girls wore skirts, so easy to smack on the bare thigh. Given OTK or while standing, I got it once, stings a fair bit and leaves a red mark.

I remember one boy getting it in an echoing school hall, a girl said "that sounded like a firework miss" to which the teacher replied "I bet it felt like one"

When i was a kid in the 60s i had the cane across my arse many times, it stung but that wasnt to bad, but we had one teacher who as you was walking from the desk to be caned he would cane you across your thighs,that hurt, mainly because you didnt know it was coming, also the teacher wasnt one of those that held back especially with the guys, he did like it if he brought a tear to your eye, glad to say he didnt with me.

I was a wired little boy and full of energy. but i often did naughty things and would get a spanking. I would be verbally repramanded as i was led into Mom's room. Dad always had a fresh willow switch for mom to use on me or my brother. She would kneel down on one knee and pull down my panties and tight whightys to my ankles. she would hold my hands over my head and proceed to lay swats on my bare butt and lower thighs. I usually cried and danced about but she held tight to my hands and followed me around as I rotated and danced. I watched my brother get a few spankings and was excited by it.

I received my first thigh punishment from the woman who coached me in English grammar when I was in my early 20s. She began with a vigorous series of hand slaps covering the entire upper thigh area. Then I was made to stand with my legs wide apart for a brisk application of a long wooden ruler over my inner thighs. I was told that if I moved, even slightly, I would get a severe caning. I fought hard not to move or cry as the stinging, burning pain built up. At last it was over and I spent the next hour in the corner with my hands on my head. Then we redid the grammar test, this time with no errors!

My thighs have been the target of disciplinary spankings several times since but nothing like as bad as that first time.

I can't help but wondering if the tutor charged for the extra hour you spent standing in the corner?

@Meiwei88 Rose, the punishment scenario was hot. Enjoyed reading about it.
