How much does cultural influence play a role in what implements you enjoy (watching, using, experiencing) most? For example, the cane and the slipper are very commonly used disciplinary implements from the UK whereas the large wooden school paddle tends to be thought of as an American implement.
We rarely use the cane in Punished Brats videos, not because we are unable to or that our girls are unwilling (hey, I like the cane!) but more so because of the member feedback we receive. For every positive email we receive in response to a caning scene, we will receive three or more stating they wished a different implement had been used. US members are not as familiar with the cane growing up and so they don’t have as strong of an emotional connection to it, and European members will sometimes balk at an American using a traditionally UK implement. I totally get that.
It’s likewise with the tawse, the slipper, and even the carpet beater. I hadn’t heard of any of those implements being used for a spanking until I became more heavily involved in the world of adult consensual spanking. Perhaps that’s just my naivety though? With the world seeming to forever becoming more and more of a cultural melting pot, are implements being introduced around the world whereas they once were only traditionally used in one country or another?
Is the wooden spoon a southern US implement? Or is it European (both my German grandmother and my husband’s grandmother were quite fond of the wooden spoon!). Is the hairbrush universal? It sure does seem to be everywhere I look, the dreaded thing.
So tell me. How much does your own cultural background influence your preference today as far as implements? Are you drawn towards those that you experienced or heard about most when you were growing up? Or now that you are aware of the wide variety of spanking toys available, are you open to more?
I’ll kick it off by answering my own question first. Personally, I experienced, witnessed, or heard about spankings being given by hand, belt, and small OTK paddle. I also once heard about a girl getting spanked by her mom with a phone, but I think that was much more a matter of what was at hand rather than a true implement. That could get expensive and my goodness, what did the person on the other end of the line think???
Anyway, looking at it now, I’d say that those are indeed the implements I hold dearest. I’m certainly happy to feel the sting of many, many others, but I don’t have the close emotional connection to say the hairbrush or the spoon or even the formal strap that many others do. The slipper is totally foreign to me as is the carpet beater. However, when I was at an antique shop recently, I spied a rattan carpet beater for sale and considered purchasing it … just to satisfy my curiosity. I quickly decided against that and my bottom thanked me.




My 3rd blogiversay is rapidly approaching!! On February 12th, it will be 3 years since I started this blog! I have never kept up with any other sort of journal or diary this long and this consistently. As is tradition, I plan to receive a fun little birthday style spanking to help celebrate the occasion and this personal achievement.

So just as there are these minor elements that can be a total turn on for an individual, there are just as many turn offs. What is a big thrill for one person may have just the opposite effect on someone else.
