Forgive me for being a stick-in-the-mud. I prefer cornertime after spanking, when a woman displays her bare red bottom to the room in which I am assiduously doing something unrelated to her punishment. (Actually, not, but it does give the impression that the sting on her backside is entirely her affair.] Standing with her nose in the corner, hands on head, absolutely silent, she can feel the consequences of her bad behavior better, I think, than a harsh mat or bench. I've read about those benches, though, in stories about English boarding schools for girls, and I'd like to know if any of them are true --or just myths, admittedly attractive myths.
