When I was caned at school in my school shorts the one thing I MOST remember is the shock of that first stroke. I would describe it as a deep, searing, raw intense sting that took my breath away and made me gasp loudly as my head jerked back involuntarily. It was so intense that I always thought I would never be able to take even one more like that let alone six or nine that I was sentenced to. My instant reaction was to want to jump upright and clutch my burning bottom but dared not.
