how hard you were caned depended on the teacher, the Cane, what you were wearing, if anything, and possibly your own anatomy. So it’s probable that this experience cannot be exactly repeated for an adult.
Much of the effect was mental. The existing anxiety increased on seeing the Cane and being guided into the required posture, causing turmoil in the stomach and an inability to speak lucidly, as my mind was preoccupied with the immediate ordeal. The uniquely sinister sound of the cane zipping through the air and connecting very loudly is alarming and the initial sting does increase in seconds. The truth was that it hurt more than I thought I had remembered. That was always the same shock!
