Well having had the cane several times at school both with shorts on and shorts off I can tell you that a good caning is a wonderfully painful experience that sends a message right ot the brain. It tries to persuade you never to err again. For me I took 6 10 or even 12 hits of the cane without a whimper until I left the masters office and then I cried. Some of the prefects and teachers were no good at caning and left you feeling, well, quite happy but others were cruel and gave heavy punishment which actually cut my buttocks into shreads.
Would I take another caning, no fear. You got to be mad.
