Dear Dnomyar, Ladies and Gentlemen;
In my mind's eye and personal experiences and or observations; spanking has been done with the hand, to which there are different strokes styles with the hand. From skip strokes to wet leather gloved hand, the manipulation of the fingers and the suppleness of hand, palm and wrist to rigid; offers approximately 12 sensations.
The only experience, observation and historical references towards spanking with an object in the person's hand, was limited to a slipper's sole, a hair brush and or a flat sided ruler. This reference, was made in the A. Sutherland Society, which patterened their society under the English Governess style of domination. And, the period was around the Victorian era to the 1950's period. It should be further mentioned that Governess was different from a Nanny. But, both instilled 'discipline' and 'manners' to their charges.
As discipline/punishment was dispensed with in caning; it was usually a cane made from Birch (wood). The term "To be Birched" was to say to be caned.
[Note: Taming the Household Beast by Miss Autumn Rose Taylor, autographed and penned to me, is now in possession of the Leather Archives and presented to Vi Johnson in July 2005, along with a photograph of an English disciplinary cane held by a distant relative, circa 1896; Louis N. Greening Photograph Studio, Phil. PA.]
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
