I do not think so. It was to embarrass us. These women had seen it all before and nothing we had would have given them a thrill. The rare spanking in front of the class was to scare everyone. "This could happen to you" was the message.

More embarrassing was later when a Social Service nun gave physicals for sports. You could go to a doctor and pay or get it done for free. The reason for this being different is that this was the first nun we interacted with who wore the "abreviated" habit. She had legs and arms and only a small veil on her head.
