Having been a boarder at both prep and public schools I received quite a few punishments. These ranged from being spanked with a master’s hand whilst over his knees to being caned on the bare bottom at age 16. Most punishments were given with a degree of formality. In my prep school my Housemaster would haul me across his knees and spend a little while smoothing my grey shorts over my bottom to make them tight and to check for padding. he spanked quite hard and always finished off by slipping his right hand under the leg of my shorts and saying that I was lucky not to have my shorts taken down.
