As you are an American, I can well understand your interest in the cane, as it was not normally used in recent times in the US. There have been references on SCP about it being used in the US a long time since. Something we have heard of here, but do not have any experience of, is the hickory stick. Is a hickory stick stiff or supple, like a rattan cane ? I do not know why, but your original post asking a simple and straight forward query, seems to have resuscitated the SCP Gestapo. Here on this site you will notice there is a preponderance of post about boys being caned by men. You may think of it initially as a MM flagellation site, but carry on reading the posts you will find other things.
