What Position Do You Prefer?
 

This can be answered by Tops and bottoms alike!

Bottoms: What position do you prefer for spanking?

Tops: What position do you prefer your spankee to be in for a spanking?

Is your preferred position different depending on type of spanking if your relationship also encompasses discipline as well as play?

Merry Christmas All!

OTK is probably my favorite as it is the most intimate, and suitable for play or discipline (an OTK spanking can be as harsh as any other).

For the cane or belt, either laying over pillows or on all fours.

Paternal Disciplinarion
 

Well, as a grandpa I have to say I prefer me sitting on the side of a bed with my "kid" lying face down OTK with the legs extended and comfortable for a long very uncomfortable discussion with hand, hairbrush, paddle etc. Personally I feel I have the best control along with the connentations of juvenile memories all around.

Spanking positions are important I think when I'm getting spanked. The wrong position can make it too painful or not painful enough. I think OTK is great for warm ups. After that I would say laying on a bed with pillows under my stomach is a great position. Something about being very vulnerable turns me on. Merry Christmas!!

I very strongly prefer OTK, but can also be cozy lying over pillows or bending over something with my body supported. Feeling physically supported and stable is very important to me, as my balance is touchy sometimes and I don't like feeling like I'm going to fall on my head. That can really ruin a good moment.

I like OTK because of the intimacy that it provides. It is also a good sensation to feel the woman's weight and the way she wriggles and squirms across my lap. I always prefer OTK for hand spanking or spanking with a hairbrush.

But for other implements (like paddles, belts, switches and straps), I prefer to have the woman in some type of bent over position. This may seem odd, but IMO, some women ust don't know how to bend over. I don't know if they lack the proper posture, agility or what. I've never been able to put my finger on the exact reason why, but some women just seem to bend over in a position that puts their butts in a very sexy, inviting position. And other's don't.

But give me a woman that bends over with her ass in a perfect display for punishment any day. That is a true thing of beauty! And I've noticed from her videos that Amber has a natural talent for doing just that.

I have a very distinct memory of Adelina being supported by a pool table (that would be "billiard table" for you Yankees ;) ) in the not too terribly recent past.

It varies for me and relationship does play a big factor. First, there is a difference based on whether it's for play, in the broadest definition, or whether it's for discipline.

With my girlfriend/sub, for most cases in play, I prefer OTK. If we're doing some kind of "scene," though--a rare thing but it does happen--then I prefer whatever is realistic for that scene, i.e. if it's a school paddling, then I prefer that the recipient be bent over a desk.

If it's discipline, I don't have a single position, but prefer whatever works for the time, severity of punishment, and convenience. As a general rule, though, I will say that if OTK works I prefer that, because even while the situation might be serious it still conveys, after a fashion, the fact that we have a relationship and that fundamentally I am still connected to her (sarah), i.e. it offers a degree of intimacy within the context of discipline.

Altho I like the idea of OTK and the intimacy it represents, I find it quite an unstabling position. I find a lot of positions unstabling (you can look at my profiule pic and see that I am just about to fall off his lap!) . Much of it has to do, I am sure, with my height which is just an inch under 5'. (Yes, I am 4'11)

I prefer to be bent over something - the back of the bed has always been comfortable. Or over the couch arm. Or over our kitchen table. They are just the right height to be even with my hips and allowed me to be comfortable, without excessive stretching of the muscles in my legs, and presenting my bottom nice and upturned.

RG has me lie over the side of the bed often and I find this position very uncomfortable to stay in for a long period of time. The edge of the bed comes about mid-thigh, so I never feel properly bent and upturned, plus it puts a strain on my legs. I feel as if I am lying on the bed more than bending --- and this brings me to the position of lying down. I don't like to be lying down when spanked. I don't know why, something about it. When RG spanks me while I am lying on my belly, I actually try to slightly bend my knees to upturn my bottom to give it more of a 'bent' position.

We have used a pillow, but it doesn't seem to help all that much.

For punishment, I do like to find a position where he is sorta 'holding' me, for the intimate emotional connection. Since being OTK in a chair leaves me quite unbalanced, I have found that when RG brings two chairs together, places me OTK but with the second chair supporting my upper body, I am more comfortable.

However, the best position he has spanked me in is with him sitting on the bed, placing me over one leg with my upper body supported by the bed, and his other leg able to cross over my legs.

At one time, I think he believed that punishment itself was to be as impersonal as possible, (with proper soothing afterwards, of course) and therefore OTK was out. Most of my earlier punishments have been bent over something - kitchen table, back of the bed. I think the most comfortable position for me to be in has been over the kitchen table. However, it is associated with the worst spanking I ever received. :( (Damn school paddle)

And who was calling who long-winded in a recent post?!

...and pointing out errors of spelling?

(Of course, sarah claims this was a typo, but to know sarah is to know the ever-busting-to-get out lawyer in her who will follow any avenue that she can find and juridicate on any nuance to establish her view. :D )

(And just as I was previewing this and she was looking over my shoulder, she says, "And did you actually post anything relevant on this thread?!!)

OTK Clarification
 

Reading sarah post makes me realize that I probably need to clarify what I mean when I say "OTK" because I realize that what I think when I use it and what I think most others think is slightly different.

The OTK position that I prefer is not the more typical one of sitting in a chair with the recipient draped across your lap, legs hanging down one side of the lap and head and shoulders down the other. My preferred OTK position involves them laying acoss my lap onto something that will support their head and shoulders, i.e. a bed, a couch, etc. The bed that we typically use now is really too high, while it still works. Our couch is good, but is in the front room so the sound could possibly carry out to others. And a couple of times, as sarah noted, we have used two chairs put together so that she can lay across my lap onto the other chair.

There are a couple of reasons that I like this particular OTK position better. One is that it's actually easier to keep the recipient on your lap. A second is that, at least for some and certainly for sarah, it's both more comfortable for them and gives more of a sense of stability.

i don't like anything as much as otk. i like feeling held and contained and i like being bent over, and i like feeling overpowered while all of that is going on. even though of course i do submit willingly to all spankings, bending over something often feels too willing to me. i love feeling like i can squirm and try to get away but won't be able to.

funny, sarah mentioned something about being short making otk difficult. i always thought it was difficult for me because i'm the opposite-- tall. it's a lot of weight pulling down on either side of my hips, with the weight of my upper body on one side and the weight of my legs on the other (i am just under 5'10"). and it's hard to figure out where to put my legs because they stretch out a good ways behind me, so they can't be planted on the floor in any way.

that said, while i find it more comfortable to have my upper body supported as some have mentioned, i find the vulnerability of being fully up-ended, staring at the floor, to be quite appealing. i haven't ever been in that position for a really severe spanking though. usually i do have my upper body supported by bed or couch. maybe if i had to experience it more then i would feel differently. :)

RG, this yankee doesn't say "billiard table," nor do i know anyone who does. that sounds kind of stuck up. ;) we say "pool table" too... only rarely will you meet someone who says that they want to "play billiards." even then i think i've usually heard them call it a pool table too.

Jenny, I find the position in your avatar pic to be particularly hot. :D

BTW, I agree with all those who say OTK is better supported (like on a couch or bed) as compared with over a chair. Still, for video purposes, the chair thing works well. Just did a shoot with a long legged model and it was a tad awkward but actually worked quite well for viewing purposes since the cameraman could walk all the way around and get some good closeups.

And soon as I can, I'll get those pics up here (and on my site soon as I figure out this whole Content Management System thing - promise!). :)

Billiards? I think that word retired like 50 years ago. It lives in a condo in Florida.:cool:

(Does Pennsylvania count as "Yankee"? That word isn't used either, unless someone's watching baseball on TV.)

I always read OTK as bent over the legs with head and feet down, him in dining-type chair. That's my favorite. I also like the one-knee on the bed version, especially with his other leg restraining mine. The more restrained [by him], the better!

As if I get any action anyway. I think I'll go read Frank and I again.....

LOL. I bet you're thinking of the New England definition of "Yankee." Down here in the good ol' South anyone north of the Ohio River, as well as anyone west of the Mississippi River, except for Texans and Arkansans, is Yankee.

Do big cat eye biscuits and milk gravy make your tummy stand up and holler? Does the song "Dixie" lift your spirits, get your blood pumping, and make your toes start to tap? Do you naturally use the word "fixin'" as a noun, a verb, and an adverb? Well, do you even use the word 'fixin'? When told that someone has "grits" is your first impression that they have something good to eat, and not that they have a strong personality? When you're stuck behind a little old lady driving only 30 mph do you say, "Bless her heart!" rather than #@!%&!?

All marks of a true Southerner! :D

Well Sir, I truely am one of those damned yankees, you called me. I curse every one of those ladies (and old men) out with a sailor's foul tongue that's only safe to use in the solitary confinement of my car... I NEVER had road rage until I plopped myself smack in the middle of snow bird hell.

For the most part, my thing is that I like to feel enveloped in whatever position I'm in. I want to burry myself into that arm of the couch, or feel his arms wrapped tight around me, or have covers I can grip and claw myself into, ect...

The only time I really detest a position is when I feel like I'm out on my own in limbo land. It's why I don't like school paddlings, because it's just me and the wall my hands are on... there's no other contact. Or the bend over and put your hands on the chair sort of position. Once again, that's just me hanging out in open air.

Oddly enough, one of the reasons I don't like those open air positions is because I do feel exposed, BUT, I feel very sexily submissive when I'm told to get into that "on your knees, head down, ass up" sort of position on the bed. There's probably very few positions as exposing as that, when you're basically made to thrust all the goods out for display, but in the right circumstances, it can feel good.

Don't let him fool ya! I ain't never heard him say 'Bless her [his] heart' in this situation either!


My experience with 'school paddlings' have never been in these positions, but rather bent over something solid for support.

I loathe the positions you describe as well - but not necessarily because of exposure. Hands on the wall, hands on the chair, and even bent over grabbing ankles/shins -- any position that has me in pretty much a standing position makes me feel very unsteady.

sarah

Bless her heart!

Depends on the implement! If its a handspanking, I prefer going OTK. However if its getting the paddle, I prefer to be bent over a desk with my butt sticking out!

First post, I see. Welcome to MSF, PB.

otk is definitely my fav..

First post for you, too, Emily. Welcome to MSF!

thanx so much.. didnt know if i was supposed to make a formal introduction somewhere or just jump right in lol..

While formal introductions are always appreciated and interesting, none are needed. Was just being friendly on your appearance on the site. :)

I really like that signature picture, Emily.

thank you.. a good friend of mine from the Netherlands made it for me..

I would have to agree that OTK is still probably the most popular / prefered position and easily accomidates discipline as well as regular play. I have a preference for the spankee to be in a position such as over the back of couch or other object tall enough to get her up on her toes, especially for a caning as this makes the sit spot far more accessible.

Sorry to get on this one late but I was having log on trouble all week.

First off, best position is always OTK. It's more than just intimacy. When your partner is over the lap, the energy a spanker puts out goes through the spankee and finds its way back into the spanker like a circuit. When the spankee is bent over a table or couch, all that energy disperses on impact.

Second, as someone who was born in Philadelphia, spent two years in Nashville and eight years in Virginia before moving to New York, I'm not sure how to react to all this negative press for Yankees. Suffice it to say that SOMEBODY's due for a spanking for it. :)

Finally, welcome to the newbies and nice folks with cool pics.

hmmmm oh Gary my good friend did You just say "caning"? :p

Well..of course I did Em you know me well enough by now;) good to see you here amongst such good company

Well I guess I'll finally contribute my two little pennies here. I agree with others here, I like otk if my upper body has some support. I absolutly love laying over one leg on the bed(if it's for fun of course). For discipline as you will see on AS, I don't get an option or choice as to what position I'm in. If I had a preference as to which one I find the least difficult it would probably be the propped over pillows so I can grab the covers and bury my head til' it's over, lol. Some positions are a mix of good and bad for me. Bendig over a stool is evil as far as not being able to squirm much(I am a mover/whimperer-I can't help it !) but it does allow me to hold and grip the legs of the stool. Having something to hold onto is a security thing for me.

Canes, huh? Well, here are a few of mine, and my office desk. :)

very nice.. thank You for sharing..

A fine looking selection of splendid implements there MH........perhaps we can share caning stories and pointers some day.

Hows this for a vulnerable/embrassing position. Bent over grabbing your ankles and being very exposed. Very embarassing and humiliating to be in that position unless of course you are wearing a thong.

Ahh!! It's good to have a day off work to catch up with the spanko sites among other things. I have two favorite positions depending on what implement I'm using. For a hand or paddle, I love OTK!! That can be using a chair, couch, or bed. The piece of furniture isn't as important as feeling the spankee held helplessly in place by my left arm while my right arm is bringing down justice. (I've made a mental note to be sure and use my leg to trap Adelina next time I'm fortunate enough to see her by the way. :D )

I like to bend the girl over a desk for the cane, school paddling scene, or strap. I've also found that if I make her stand with her feet at least shoulder length apart she can't clinch her bottom to prepare for the smack. That's a very helpful piece of information which helps make the strikes that much more meaningful!! :D

OTK is by far the best. It provides the intimacy and the bonding that I want spanking to bring. Being seated in a chair while holding her provides the best positioning, however is rather uncomfortable for her if the spanking is long. Being seated on a sofa with her mid section over my lap is by far the most comfortable for those long spankings.

My favourate is o t k . but i also like my spankee in the diaper position.

try this
 

I have discovered that if you put an ottoman next to the bed it provides a good place for the top to rest his OTK leg on while sitting on the bed next to the ottoman. This allows the bottom to have her torso on the tops lap while resting the upper half on the bed. Seems to be comfortable for both parties.
