I could try to describe the sensations of childbirth by reference to a common experience – CP for example. Even then, I can’t be sure our experiences were identical. I’ve described my last caning at school as “six of the VERY best” to emphasize the severity. It was more severe than any I’d previously received. The visible signs suggested it was more severe than any of my friends at the time received but that was all we could all we could really compare. We couldn’t compare how much it hurt. Also, from the marks others have described being left with after a caning, most of mine were probably less severe and my “six of the VERY best” was probably no more severe than a standard “six of the best” in other schools.
