hi there my name is marc I am uk born but my mother was french ,and at the age of 12 we left the uk and settled in northen france ,but really everythinf was different for me ( ,nothing to do with england ) .to start off I had to attend school up to the age of 16 ,so at the age of 12 up to the age of 16 here where mummys “french rules”!.As everybody I had to wear “nylon buttoned house coats short trousers with straps ,my head was shaven and of course mum bought a new “MARTINET” ‘wich is a leather flogger,( every house and parents had one in france ( it’s a wooden wood handle about 25cm long and attached to it there are 12 to 16 thick leather fringes ) to spank naughty girls and boys !. There was one in the house and another waiting for us in school too ,where usualy old lady teachers who were like us in “very long nylon buttoned housecoats” with big pockets to put their “martinet” inside them everyday used to flog us with it ( they were very strict!) ! .but that’s the way it was in france those days ( and nobody even noticed it ,it was the norm (in the 60′s and 70′s).and after each school holiday ,mum would taje us to the shops to buy us “new “nylon overcoats, short trousers with straps and navy blue pleated skirts with straps for my sisters + a new martinet (I can still see them in grapes in the stores with their stinging leather 30cm fringes blowing in the wind ,and of all colours too ‘brown,red black yellow ,they looked quite pretty but our bottoms were really stinged by them,at some state after a good flogging with the “martinet” you could barely sit down” afterwards!..Just to give you an exemple if you did silly things mum would give you 5 or 6 lashes,but if you were disobedient or had bad marks at scholl ,once at home mum woild say okay bend over and she would undoo your braces (or straps) pill over the head your nylon overall and the panties went down too and then she would raise the “martinet” high up and then you heard the “wish,then shlack on your bottom and this could go on for 5mn then in the corner “hands on the head for 30mn. And I don’t complain too much because some mothers would come to the school gate allways in their nylon buttoned overalls with the martinet in their hands ,and their girls and boys would get a good flogging on the pavement .!

The martinet is a very good spanking tool, because it hurts like crazy but doesn’t leave a mark. It’s specifically designed for spanking, so when you bring it out your kids know you mean business. One drawback is that it must be used on bare skin or it doesn’t hurt at all. If you spank your kids on their genitals (if you want to have eye contact) the martinet is the only implement that will have enough sting but not cause any injury. It’s effective anywhere on the body, but again the child has to be bare.

Growing up in France we were whipped with a martinet. We were always whipped bare naked. We would get whipped for several minutes, on the butt, legs and genitals. It hurt a lot!

In the formerly SU the most common was the belt. The rod was much more popular years ago but it was named imperialistic relict, so… The hand was used often but there was an opinion that handspanking can jolt some viscera.

Most Chinese spanking funs will love bamboo paddle at the first place. That tradition comes from the old times judicial punishment with big bamboo paddle.
However, nowadays, I see many chinese spanko loves cane and ruler as well.

The cane has always featured prominently in my life, both at school and domestically as a child and an adult. Of course the slipper was also used. I like watching a nude female lying on a bench being strapped. We were also lined up and strapped on the bare at school, both boys and girls. My foster sister used to use a bath brush on me and that really stung. However, the words cane and spank seem to act as a code word for producing an erection. Have yet to feel the delights of a carpet beater, My friend John Burch was actually birched on the Isle of Mann and said it hurt like hell.

Keep up the good work.

In Cuba the belt and the switch may be used, but the real traditional implement is La Chancleta.

I’m from Finland and hand, belt and birch twigs were the most common implements here and those are now also my favourites. I’ve never heard that somebody would have got hairbrush here when growing up, so it’s not that universal.
