Dressed like that

In a family living room, a father bends his adult daughter under his arm, spanking her for her short black dress and red high heels.

“Where do you think you’re going, dressed like that?”

The cry of exasperated fathers everywhere, as their daughters head out to party.

Sometimes, of course, the result is a refusal to change.

This may then result in a rather more, shall we say, percussive approach to sharing his views on the matter.

At the front of the class

At the front of a school classroom, a young woman bends over touching her toes. Behind her, a male teacher is swinging a paddle towards her bottom, only just covered by her dress.

Only a few minutes ago, she thought her comments were amusing and entertaining the class.

Now, the class is getting a completely different entertainment, and she is learning that being wisecracking pain in the backside leads to a very different, and rather less metaphorical, pain in the backside.

Motivational coaching

Two women in leotards lie across a wide low gym vault. The one on the right is being paddled on her bottom, while the one on the left looks over sympathetically, knowning she will be next.

Gymnastics requires focus, attention, determination and discipline. If these are lacking, then performance can suffer. This is where good coaching can provide motivation. Or, if required, external discipline.

And there is no discipline like the firm application of the paddle these two girls are receiving.

Focus of attention

Mr Stevens placed the cane across Jenny’s bottom, only too glad to have these moments to savour and enjoy the view.

If Jenny was not already aware and focusing on her bottom, in a few moments she would find that her attention would be nowhere else.
