I did receive Corporal Punishment at home and school and have continued the interest as an adult. The motivation for me, therefore, is not so much curiosity as some desire to reconstruct as closely as possible those earlier feelings and experiences. Most encounters have been interesting and “enjoyable” but have not created the discomfort or apprehension of those earlier days. I did, however, receive a slippering last week with a plimsoll which was the closest I have come to recreating the school experience.
