Taking a spanking well
Taking a spanking well describes a person or a fictional character who can take a spanking of a certain severity with relative ease and little or no damage or trauma, either physically or emotionally. In a more basic physical sense, one can also say that their buttocks can take a spanking well.
Taking a spanking well is not about someone's compliance and cooperation with the spanking. Nor is it about liking being spanked. It is about one's ability to handle it without suffering physical or emotional damage. You can be someone who can take (i.e. handle) a spanking well, even if you are not compliant and the spanking is non-consensual.
Example lines:
- "Spank me harder. I can take it. And today I want to get to my limit."
- "Wow, you can really take a hard spanking. I'm very impressed."
- "You can paddle him harder, he is not a little boy anymore."
Cases
The physically tough
A person or character may be physically more insensitive than average. This makes them less sensitive to pain and, therefore, better able to cope with being spanked. See also the "Leather butt" section below.
By nature, tchildrenwill not respond much to being spanked because they are in little discomfort. THowever, theycan optionally '"[acting|pretend]]'"to be in more pain than they are
The emotionally tough
A person or character may not be physically less sensitive but emotionally hardened. They will feel the pain but have no need to react much to it, neither verbally nor by squirming or trying to get free or trying to protect their buttocks.
As people grow from childhood to adulthood, they typically acquire skills of this kind,. Theirpride also makes them reluctant to show too much reaction, which is considered typical of how children behave when spanked.
While people of this category will often naturally tend to remain stoic, they can pretend to suffer more than they actually do.
The "recoverer"
Some people and characters are fully sensitive and find it difficult to remain stoic while being spanked. However, their ability to take a spanking is shown by their ability to cope emotionally afterward and their quick recovery.
Spankees of this kind will react to being spanked verbally, physically, perhaps even with bawling and tears. They may say how sorry they are, promise to be good, ask for the spanking to stop, etc. All of this shows how much they are suffering. And they do. But by not keeping their physical and emotional feelings inside and suppressing them, but letting them out freely, they can process the extreme situation. This allows them to recover quickly afterward and not hold any lasting trauma inside.
What does it mean?
As a nonconsensual punishment in real life, the very idea of a spanking is that it should be a painful, punishing experience. If the spanked person stays utterly unaffected by it, the disciplinarian could just as well leave it.
But that would be the extreme end of it. In general, spanking robustness is a desirable thing if you are going to spank someone. If the spanker knows that the spankee can handle a spanking, perhaps even a severe one, it is a 'green light'. The spanking can be done with appropriate caution but with little worry or holding back.
In the opposite case, if a person is not known to be able to take a spanking well, the disciplinarian would need to be much more careful in the interest of their physical and mental health. This case is highly relevant in real life but not too relevant in spanking fiction.
As a property of an ideal spankee
An ideal spankee for consensual spanking, in a sense, is someone who is both very spankable (meaning attractive and cute, nice to spank) and can take a spanking well.
Spanking fiction, which often depicts non-consensual punishment, also often features spanking robustness because trauma is not the topic of the story. Fictional Spankee characters are often described as being particularly attractive to spank, responding well to spanking, and recovering quickly. (Which may mean that they are ready for more.)
Attributed to a spankee
Heather stopped spanking and looked towards Mary's parents.
"Why have you stopped, dear? Mary isn't made of glass -- her little tushie may be red and hot, but it can take quite a bit of spanking yet. Believe me; I've often spanked Mary for ten minutes straight with her little paddle. It hurts terribly, of course, but then that's the idea, isn't it? To teach a lesson?"
– Lurking Dragon, Collegegirl chapter 1, My New Roomie
Sometimes in spanking fiction (such as literature or film), in a nonconsensual spanking scene, a spanker or third party will comment on a spankee's ability (or that of their behind) to take a spanking well, meaning that they need not go too easy on them. Whether this is true or not, it is certainly bad news for the Spankee.
It is also a sign to the reader or audience that the character has already been severely spanked many times before.
Where is the concept found?
The concept of people or characters who can take a spanking well is found e.g.:
- In real life in some spankees. ("Spank me hard, I can handle it!")
- In spanking fiction:
- In spanking stories.
- In spanking comics.
- In spanking videos.
- In animated spanking cartoons. Cartoon characters are very often extremely good in having a very painful experience and recovering from it in a matter of seconds.
- In online spanking roleplay.
In real life
Some people have the ability naturally. But practice can and usually will improve anyone's ability to take a spanking. This is similar to sports and other activities. The place where people tend to get most of this practice nowadays is in the BDSM and spanko communities.
Adults who know they can take a spanking well, and who have the desired looks and/or acting skills and the wish to enter this business, may find work as spanking actors and actresses in spankee roles, as well as professional spankees.
Leather butt
Colloquially, sometimes people are said to have developed a leather butt: one that doesn't mark easily and is relatively insensitive. Regular, frequent spanking (such as daily) can lead to this because the skin and tissue gets used to the mechanical stress and continuous micro-injuries: damaged vessels, nerve endings etc. die off and the skin becomes tougher.
Techniques
Certain spanking techniques can also help make a spankee take their spanking much better. Above all, applying the crescendo principle by beginning with a mild, long warm-up spanking before gradually increasing the intensity. Certain mental techniques by the spankee can also help.
Avoiding blood thinning medications auch as aspirin before a spanking will help reduce the marks and speed healing. This also applies to alcohol, which also thins the blood. The application of ice after the spanking may also help somewhat.
