I hate paddles. I hate the kind of pain they inflict.
Of course, tho, I go thru these periods where I want something hard. I always regret it after the first swat...lol.....
Except in a few instances, I have been bare for my paddlings. If used hard enough (as RG used once in a punishment), the pain is enormous and excruciating. During one spanking, I lost awareness of my surroundings.
I NEVER wanna do that again!
