My thoughts on the use of the cane.
My feelings on caning are mixed. When spanking, it is an implement that I like. There are very few implements that are as feared as the cane. When a serious lesson must be taught, the cane works everytime. The pain created from a hard cane stroke is very specific, and has a second wave of pain that follows shortly after the initial impact. The marks it leaves are very distinct and generally stay long enough to serve as a visual reminder for a couple of days. I generally administer cane strokes close to as hard as I can and adjust the severity through cane selection.
My biggest problem with the cane is its use in spanking videos. Because of the degree of pain involved, I rarely see a cane used with much force in a spanking video. Yes, there are companies like Lupas that use it very effectively, but in general, most companies swing it lightly. On the flip side are those videos that swing it hard, but unsafely. I do not know how many times I have watched someone spanking with a cane in a video in which it was clear that had not really used it before. It pains me to see hard strokes that wrap all the way around the sides of the thigh.
On my various websites, we do cane, but it is not one of our most common scenes. Because I think it needs to be used with a great degree of force, only certain models are able to take it. We have begun a series on Realspankings.com called “School Strokes” in which we administer hard cane strokes, but over jeans and panties. This allows many models to experience their first caning on a level that is a little more tolerable. Don’t get me wrong, a hard caning over jeans still hurts, and leaves welts, but it is clearly not as bad as receiving it on the bare. In the interviews that follow the “School Strokes” scenes, the girls discuss their thoughts on the cane as a punishment tool.
On occasion we film some pretty severe canings. In our feature production Friday Punishments, the final scene of the movie consists of a 100 stroke caning administered very hard and very fast which brings her to tears before the 10th stroke. We have also filmed some judicial style punishments in which the girl is secured to the bondage bench before her severe caning. One of the more unique canings we did was for a model who was fascinated with cane marks. We setup a monitor for her so she could watch each cane stroke be delivered. Her bottom was about as marked as I have ever seen when we were done. She came in each day for the next few days to show us her bottom and she was black and blue for more than a week.
On BiSpanking.com we began to have issues with both of the girls showing up late for their shoots. It was clear from day one that both Jasmine and Claire hated the cane, so we made a policy that if they are more than 5 minutes late, they will take 12 cane strokes on the bare, as hard as I can administer them. It only took once for Claire to get her act together, it seems poor Jasmine needs a reminder every 6-8 weeks. There have been many days that I have peeked out the window when a girl was late, only to see them literally running down the street to get into the studio before the cutoff time. Even two girls who like to spanked, will do anything they can to avoid a real punishment caning on their bare bottoms.
When used safely and effectively, I like to see hard canings in spanking videos. While I will always favor the school paddle for strict discipline, the cane is always a good option. “Twelve of the best” is usually enough to get any girl’s attention and keep it for many days.
