Never having been caned by either of them, I’m not really in a position to make a valid comparison. I was only caned by the Associate Headmaster (AHM) twice, and one of those canings was no more than a “token” (for flashing my boobs to a group of boys). The other caning from him was […]

The only conclusion that I can arrive at is that Ms Thomas wasn’t so much a hard caner as she was a frequent one and what she might of lacked in quality and technique she more than made up for in quantity. But of course,this does’nt imply that a Headmistress cannot possibly cane as hard […]

how would you say that a caning from Ms Joan Thomas of the Rodney School fame compare in severity to lets say a caning from Anthony Chenevix-Trench the one time Eaton Headmaster? What brought this question about was that I was reading,whith more than a little doubt I might add,that Ms Thomas supposedly gave a […]

I was hoping that maybe you could throw some light on this for me. In order to give a hard caning,or so I’ve been led to believe,is’nt so much about physical strength as it is about technique.I.E The whipping back of the cane at the full extent of the backward swing,the speed and drive of […]

As for a 5 stroke caning Iwould find this very odd to say the least especialy when you’re so close to the home base so you might just as well go the full distance although I did read that the good Doctor Dominum did give a boy a 5 stroke caning but as he himself […]

I must agree,2/4/6 does seem a bit strange-maybe it’s the even numbers that appeal.However,I have heard of many a 3/6 caning arrangement which to me strikes a happy-if indeed you can call it that-balance between a caning that’s going to hurt a little and one that’s going to hurt a lot! At public schools,where canings […]

I ended up being caned twice, aged 16 and 17. Both times it involved 6 strokes of the cane across my bottom, with trousers on, while bending down touching my toes. I found it very, very painful both times – much, much worse than the slipper or strap. I found it difficult to keep still, […]

When I received the cane I had hold out my right hand first and three strokes were administered and then I had to hold out my left hand and three strokes were administered, so while I received the maximum number of strokes the pain that I experienced would seem different to others. The cane stung […]

Caning experiences clearly differ greatly presumably because canes, caners and canees differ greatly. Although certainly no laughing matter, the canings of my boyhood days were well tolerated by most boys. I use the term well tolerated in the medical sense no severe or lasting or unexpected adverse effects.     During my 13 years of […]

I was not abnormally sensitive to pain, and took the occasional hair brushing applied to my bare bottom by my Father, unhappily, but stoically. Those spankings however, were as moonlight is to sunlight, or as water to wine, in comparison to that caning. The caning was fearsome, and I did fear it very, very much […]
