Unorthodox Techniques

[Dionysian]

Let's face it. A slap produces a nice sting on the posterior, and a hairbrush gives a nice burn, but what about the more unorthodox methods of a spanking, or at least what else can be applied to it?

For example, ever tried delivering a backhand blow with the ridges of the fingers to somebody's butt? It produces a different sensation than a palm of the hand slap. Also, has anybody tried gently running their fingertips up and down a person's cheeks, especially when it's cold? It produces a wonderful tingling sensation (try this AFTER a spanking for some incredible results).

Here's another example: ever seen the practitioners of Crane Kung Fu? The prodding hand position with the finger tips produces an unusual sensation on the cheeks in a concentrated area, making it great to experiment with.

I'm not saying I have a fetish for these sort of things, but I am curious as to whether anyone has any unorthodox methods or techniques.

I read on "Spank With Love" that you should keep your wrist loose. It said many people spank with a rigid wrist and cupped hand, this produces a lot of noise but less pain. The loose wrist, fingers straight or even back if you are flexible, increases pain while reducing noise. Which would help with privacy, bu it's still pretty loud.

Its quite effective, the loose wrist thing.

It is, yeah.
And depending on the effect, cupping your hand or keeping it firm causes two results. Cupping does make a lot more noise, and that has a good psychological effect. But it's not as sharp in terms of sensation. Keeping your hand firm definitely smarts a whole lot more. Maybe alternating between the two during the spanking is the best way to go? Your thoughts?

Personally, another method is to splay the fingers out in a fan pattern causing the muscles in the palm to tighten up and push outward, turning the palm into a rocklike surface. It produces a very nasty sting as well as a wonderful sound, especially on a bare behind.

My boyfriend learned a nasty little trick in, of all freaking places, his church. He was talking to an old friend of his, a much older gentleman who was a teacher back in the days when they still used to hit kids in schools. The *lovely* fellow explained to my boyfriend that paddling had a certain art to it back in the old days which, alas, is all but lost these days. There's a sort of technique that involves the paddle (as nearly as I can tell. I'm face down in the pillows and not in the best position for observation) being held at a 45 degree (? ish?) angle and brought down with super light force multiple times. It actually feels pretty good when he does that, like a really slight massage, almost like teasing. Then it gets brought down at what feels like full force but is, according to him, not even half of how hard he usually hits me. The the process is repeated, maybe a dozen light swats in quick secession and then a real stinger.

I'm a pretty tough kid. I've happily taken 'love bites' that, as I later found out, brought blood to the surface of my skin. There's plenty of pain that makes me purr, including a regular paddling and, the absolute pinnacle of beatings, the handspanking. I'm an utter slut for handspankings. This? This makes me squeal and yelp and kick enough to earn me twice my original punishment. It's not just a warm-up, warm-ups make spankings easier to take, not hella harder.

At any rate it certainly made me revise some of my previous historical fantasy scenarios. I only wish I could figure out if I like 'em more or less now.
