Hi,
I'm happily married for 7 years, with spanking being on and off since the beginning because of my uncertainty of the "normality" of wanting to be spanked by my husband. We've been through play-spanking, erotical, and punishment. The latter has been gone for a long time. A few nights ago though, I only went to bed at 5am, after several nights of going to bed late. I suspected that I might receive a playful spanking, but he surprised me and got very strict. After the spanking was done with he told me that he expects me to get to bed earlier, and specified some time frames. He told me that if I am up too late again he'll use his belt.
Mostly I am spanked with his hands, but I have also been spanked with a wooden hair brush, a round plastic bath brush, a sort of "whip" from braided curtain holders, but never the belt. I kind of dread it, but I think it will be effective. On a scale of 1-10, how bad is the belt compared to the other tools?
