i rarely feel the need/desire to rub... i can only remember one time when the way that the spanking hurt was like an itch. then i HAD to rub. but that itch didn't start until much later.
i definitely enjoy rubbing, of course i do.
i think it can be a nice fit after discipline, providing nurturing and comfort and all that. i don't usually get it, but maybe i should start asking for it.
