Bare or not?

[Needing correction! 76]

I am caned for discipline purposes. A bare bottom  (a)   increases the 'sting element' of the caning and (b) is safer for the recipient. It is how my father corrected me and it's how I am corrected now.

It can be done without the frontal area being on show at all.

As a spanker, I always preferred bare. could easily see the color change.

I'm all for whatever helps the spankee. If they're too uncomfortable being bare to focus then it doesn't accomplish much. I'm more goal oriented than process driven 😉

always done bare usually naked since i was a young age at boarding school we was caned in the nude more painful on the bare bottom and stings very much so i find it very arousing

Undies or bare was the norm in my family when growing up, depending on the situation. My wife believes bare is best and pitty help me if I disagree.  If I stand before her in undies I get my spanking in them and cop another one without them, so I have to agree with her that bare is best. One spanking at a time is enough.

For myself, it is bare only, especially for an otk spanking which I take to mean hand/hairbrush or similar. I like the cane on the bare as well but for some that would be too severe so why not wear knickers or just avoid heavy implements. My favourite is a 6mm (1/4in) cane as it stings wonderfully on a bare bum!

bare bottom all the way from start to finish

I am spanked over clothes and on bare skin. I like the "layered" approach sometimes, too - spanked on each layer and then the bare.

[REALTEARS 63]

A spanking is not a proper spanking if not on the bare bottom  I get it on the bare and when disiplining the spankee  does not always have the choice?!

[Chastener 155]

Bare bottom is the ONLY way with one exception: In the rare cases where spankings are witnessed by another, sometimes it's more effective to give a woman first a spanking on the panties, and then draw down her panties.  But only then.

[hartwelt 10]

Either/or. It seems like it should depend on the situation.

[Keith Lemontree 127]

Either as giver or receiver always, always, always on the bare.  Sure, bare is prettier to look at. And sure, bare hurts more and in some contexts adds a bit of embarrassment.  But spanking, especially if you're giving a hard spanking, needs to be done carefully.  Injuries can happen.  I don't care how long you've been spanking, you're just not good enough to do it blind.

[MrBottoms 234]

Whether Bare or Not, it tain't gonna matter coz either way, I fully intend to "get to the Bottom of it".  😉

[OnlyBare 1]

Always bare bottom from the start.

 

[Belle1241 5]

Always bare. The embarrassment of bare bottom is part of the punishment.

I like a 1/4 inch willow, that really burns on a bare ass!!!

Please see my post on directed self-spanking today.  The embarrassment is surely part of the punishment!  Well said.

[Rand E 530]

Are you kidding me?  Call it embarrassment, or eroticism, or intensity, or I don't care what.  A spanking on the bare-bottom is the ultimate, and everything else is, well, sub-standard.  IMHO.

[TimidMouse 32]

I think it terms of modesty there isn't anything wrong with clothing, especially in the beginning of a spanking partner relationship but with heavier implements you need to see to do it safely. I think starting clothed then of course the goal being bare and humbling, it builds the intensity. It also shows trust to allow yourself to be spanked and even more so to be spanked bare, so maybe ask yourself are you having trouble trusting your spanker? What are your boundaries? You wanted this just for discipline, is it more wanting to keep that barrier from the errotic side of spanking? There is nothing wrong with wanting it to stay as discipline or errotic and sometimes the line for that is mental or a physical thing. Whatever works for you and your spanker.

I agree.  If the spanking sessions are really intended to be non-sexual, and more like operant conditioning or negative reinforcement, then keep it clinical.  I have a total spanking fetish, and it's very sexual.  So, for me, spanking is a sexual activity.  But for those seeking otherwise, it makes total sense to keep the process non-sexual.  If you get the benefits you are seeking, then that's what matters.  

[KentuckyGuy 130]

When I give a spanking, I prefer the layered approach, starting out over panties or underwear then going to bare.  I have spanked women who or modesty purposes preferred wearing a thing and I am k with that.  Some want the humiliation of being bare and having everything seen, though.  When I receive, I am open to anything except being completely naked.  I do not like to have control over the spanking other than the possibility of using a safeword if it gets to be too much for me.

Bare adds the embarrassment which is part of the punishment, also adds safety. It helps with the aim whether it is a paddle, belt, switch, cane, strap.  It will show excessive bruising, blood. 

[TXSeeker 25]

Over the underwear/panties is ok to start.  

But like Oldbrat mentioned getting it bare adds to the embarrassment for the spankee and also helps the spanker make sure see the results realtime.  It will allow them to deliver more to areas that might be getting less than optimal attention but also offer some safety to the spankee's bottom.

As a spankee, I prefer it to definitely end up being bare and well delivered.  Any clothing should come down after a few moments of warming things up then it is time for the 'real' business to happen.

Fully agree, i couldn’t have said it better. Bare also allows the spanker to receive gratification from viewing the reddening. It’s also very useful to my spanker for working the wooden spoon into my buttcrack.

[OhRedhead 92]

I won't say I "prefer" bare, because it definitely hurts more, but the moment when he pulls my panties down is a defining moment in a spanking for me. I would miss that feeling of vulnerability, and honestly, it wouldn't feel like a real spanking over clothes.
