Caning position

The position shown in photo kasumi11.jpg has obvious erotic appeal - but little else to commend it. In my opinion it would lead to an unsatisfactory Caning. The photo was taken largely for the benefit of the photographer.

Points to note:

1. In my opinion, it is seldom necessary to expose more than the buttocks, for a punishment Caning. Shivering, through loss of body heat, will diminish the pleasure of the Caning.

2. The recipient is putting all her energy into maintaining her body in position. She cannot relax and focus on the Caning. Her buttock muscles are stretched and thin, and hence offer little to absorb the energy of the strokes.

3. I prefer to adjust the height of the recipient's sulcus (the crease-line where buttock and thigh meet) until it is level with my elbow when I am standing upright with my arms hanging at my sides. This ensures that I can deliver powerful horizontal strokes while keeping my back straight. I think you can see that her sulcus is way below the level of my elbow.

I have known of situations where the Caner sustained more damage than the Canee, because of poor Caning posture.
