In real life, spanking play often starts with a fully clothed bottom getting slapped with the hand, then a partially clothed one, then a bare one and then the implements are brought into play, to turn an already reddened backside into full glorious technicolor. In order for the partner to withstand repeated hard swats from a paddle, the flesh needs to be warmed up first to get it, and its owners psyche, ready for more stringent attention.
I have not witnessed very many real life discipline sessions, but by all accounts, the penitent does not have a lengthy warm up period before the disciplinarian gets down to business. They tend to be more of a touch your toes, instant agony, punishment over sort of regimen.
So why do video producers and some spanking fiction authors have miscreants go through a series of increasingly painful encounters, all in the name of discipline? In a word - stuffing.
A video producer would like to produce an hour (or so) video in order to maximize sales potential. And to fill a full hour is not easy. Even pain-fest Mood Pictures find that one of their floggings is completed in about five minutes. So - directorial choices. We can have a small cast beaten often, or a large cast each beaten once. The first option is relatively cheaper, the second more fragmented.
Let us make up a theoretical script for a large cast. A dozen "schoolgirls" each get a classroom paddling and two or three of them "confess" and get sent to the headmaster for a caning. Well, allowing some time to get into and out of spanking position, we will have generated about 25 minutes of spanking action. For a one hour film. To make it last an hour, we need about 35 minutes of stuffing to pad it all out. So we need to stuff 25 minutes of non-spanking material into it to bring it up to the required run time.
About the first half of the masterpiece "South American Vacation" is stuffing in which the oddest and really bizarre court case is portrayed in order to set up the whackings to come. It does not particularly add much in quality (a 3 minute edited highlight would have worked just as well) but it gets us to use up enough time to qualify the production as "a full length" work. (Incidentally, rumor as it that the first two recipients of a caning in that film - a mere 10 strokes each - were volunteer vanillas so the producer could show how such discipline affects those not into a pain for pleasure foible).
When we have just one or two victims on the receiving end, it is inevitable that they are going to receive several spankings. First across the knee, in stages as clothing is removed and then bending to get various implements of increasing severity, ending with the cane, Perhaps half an hour of spanking action. In order to fill the rest of the allotted time, directors have the spanker take time out to lecture, to grope. to examine the effects of the beating on the bottom, to tap excessively, to shout abuse between strokes: to do anything, but anything, to wind the clock down a few more minutes. Which is why most discipline videos give the viewer a sense of shocked disbelief that this is how the cast really thinks schoolmasters go about whacking errant schoolgirls.
Since we fiction writers are not recording the action with a camera, we have an easier time of it. When it comes to the written word, there is no expectation for us to provide a minimum number of words for any one piece.
Should we spend a lot of time viewing videos of a spanking nature (aka "conducting research"), we may get beguiled into thinking that the video producers have a deep insight into what a spanko audience wants to watch. And by inference want to read. It is not impossible to think that videos represent the accepted "correct" attitude towards portraying spanking action and try to mimic video scripting within our tales.
Which is why we occasionally come across a short story which has as much stuffing as one of those really bizarre "English" discipline classics. May I offer you counsel? Please leave stuffing to video productions and make your tales, sharp, crisp and a joy to read. I for one would find that to be a better read, and from the chat boards, I am not in the minority.
