Daniel knew he was in a lot of trouble. He had been given a detention at school a knew that this meant severe punishment once he told me about the incident at home. The principal being a good friend of mine called me up and told me that Daniel was given a Friday detention after school for repeatedly not doing his homework. I considered that a true disgrace as it showed that my son was being lazy and furthermore it reflected badly on me and my wife as we were his parents.
Daniel knows that I am a firm believer in strict and severe corporal punishment. Ever since he was 9 years old he had been caned on numerous occasions for even the slightest misdemenours. I always believed that a good caning taught the boy obedience, taught the boy about facing consequences in life and finally it toughened the boy up through pain which is one of the best ways to build character.
I heard him coming through the door at 15:00. As he came into the house, I could see a grim look on his face.
As we sat down to have dinner I politely asked him
"Do you have anything to say to me boy?"
"Yes Sir, I have been given a Friday Detention for not doing my homework sir."
"Why did you not do it Daniel?"
"I was out with my friends dad and thought that I would have time to do it when I came back, but I returned home really late and was not able to finish it on time."
I could see that he was trying to plead with me to be lenient towards him. Unfortunately for Daniel, I wasn't going to show him any mercy whatsoever. In my opinion a proper punishement must be very severe if it is to be effective.
"Daniel how many times do I have to remind you that schoolwork should have priority over all other matters. If your work suffers then this greatly affects your future. You know that I take this as a very serious matter. Schoolwork is an important issue to me and you know that."
"I know dad, and I'm very sorry."
"I'm sure you are my boy, but I'm afraid that now you are going to have to face some severe consequences for your actions. This offense constitutes very severe punishment as it is one of the worst misdeeds that you can commit. You don't belong in a detention room with silly boys that have nothing to do but waste their time Daniel and today you're going to learn a very painful lesson about responsibility and commitment to your studies. Go up to your room and get ready for a caning. At apporximately 20:00 you will come to my study."
Daniel quickly left the table and went up to his room. I knew what the boy was feeling. He knew that this was going to be a very painful caning as the offense was so serious.
After a few hours I went to my study and awaited the boys arrival. At exactly 20:00 I heard a knock on my door.
"Enter."
Daniel walked in, completely naked and stood in front of me with his hands behind his back. The cane was lying on my desk and I could see the fright in his eyes when he looked at the instrument of punishment.
"Daniel you know why you are here. I am very dissapointed in your behavior today. In response to this reckless act I intend to thorughly make you suffer for what you did by inflicting great amount of pain upon you. This caning will do quite a bit of damage to your buttocks my boy and significant marking will occur. You won't be walking or for that matter sitting down comfortably for well over a week."
I picked up the cane and walked towards him lifting his head with the tip of my cane and I said
" I am going to award you 12 strokes of the cane. As always I am going to cane you very slowly making sure that you appreciate the maximum amount of pain inflicetd by each cut of the cane. Have you anything to say before the punsihment begins."
I could see that Daniel was now terrified. 12 strokes was one of the worst punishments that he could have recived.
"No sir."
"Assume the punishment position."
This meant that he had to bend over my desk with his hands grasping the ends of the furniture. Furthermore he hand to stand on tip toes throughout the punishment in order to elevate his buttocks. This made the caning much more accurate and painful.
"Before we begin I am going to remind you of the rules. You are to count each stroke out loud by thanking me for it and asking for another. You are to remain in this position throughout the punishment. If you miscount, forget to count or if I see anyone of your heels touching the floor you will be awarded extra strokes. This means that you will repeat the last stroke and an extra two will be added to the punishment. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir"
"Very good"
I swished the cane through the air making sure that the boy grew even more frightful of what was to come. I intended to thoroughly enjoy caning Daniel making sure that he is in true agony throughout the whole session. After a few swishes I took my position behind him and gently tapped his buttocks with the cane. As I tapped the cane I could see goosebumps appearing on the naked flesh. There was no hurry and I intended to take my time making the boy even more afraid of the severe pain that was to follow. After a minute or so I drew the cane back and in one swift action, sharply brought it down.
"Swish"
"Crack"
The cane bit into the white flesh. I could see a white line appearing which quiclky turned into a vivid red welt. Daniel gasped in great pain and said
"Thank you for the first stroke sir, may I please have another?"
After about 30 seconds I brought the cane down sharply right below were the first cut occured
"Swish"
"Crack"
"Aaa"
Daniel moved is head in a sharp manner trying to take the incredible pain as best as he could.
"Thank you for the second stroke sir, may I please have another?"
The third cut bit below the second line and a third red welt formed.
"Thank you for the third stroke sir. May I please have another?"
The next three were aimed one below the other. The seventh stroke occured right above the first one but Daniel was unable to hold his position and I noticed for a split second that his heels had touched the floor. I always tried to make the spanking position as difficult as possible so that extra strokes could be awarded making the whole experinece even more painful. Furthermore this meant that I was going to have to break his skin in order to award the extra strokes, as it was impossible to inflict more than twelve strokes of the cane without drawing blood. This is the moment I was waiting for in anticipation. My philosophy has always been that the boy should not have gotten himself in this position in the first place. Now that he has, he must face whatever punishment is inflicted upon him.
"Daniel I warned you about moving out of position. Not only will you repeat that last stroke, but I am adding an extra two strokes to your punishment. Now you are well aware that I cannot inflict more than twelve cuts of the cane without breaking your skin, therefore I want you to realise that you are going to bleed my boy. Perhaps that will teach you to maintain your position during a caning."
"Swish"
"Crack"
"Thank you for the seventh stroke sir. May I please have another?"
As the next three strokes bit into his naked flesh, the boy began to cry uncontrollably, yet maintained his position and counted aloud in a tearful manner. He did not dare move knowing the consequences of such a mistake.
As I delivered the eleventh stroke, his buttocks were now fully covered in red welts. Had Daniel not made the ,mistake of moving out of position then this would have been the 12th stroke. Unfortunatley for him more was to follow.
"Now Daniel, the next stroke is going to break your skin. You only have yourself to blame for this and I intend to thoroughly enjoy myslef by blistering your buttocks to the fullest. I will cane you just as hard as I did before and expect you to maintain the same position or further additional strokes will follow. Is that clear boy?
"Yes sir"
"Swish"
"Crack"
The cane bit right into the third stroke and a thin line of blood appeared.
"Aaaa"
He was sobbing uncontrolably.
"Thank you for the 12th stroke sir. May I have another?"
"I'm sorry boy, but you forgot to say please when asking for the next stroke. I'm afraid that doesn't count and therfore you will repeat that last stroke again and I am further adding an extra two strokes to your additional punishment."
"I'm sorry sir. Please no more. I promise to be good but please don't give me anymore extra strokes. I will take these properly but please no more"
"I'm afraid thats not good enough. You were warned before about the rules and now you will have to face the consequences"
"Swish"
"Crack"
"Aaaa"
"Thank you for the 12th stroke sir. May I please have another?"
"Swish"
"Crack"
"Thank you for the 13th stroke sir. May I please have another?"
The next two strokes broke the skin again and by now I could see that the boy was beginning to bleed all over the buttocks. I delivered the 16th stroke which was in reality the 18th with the same severity as the rest.
"Swish"
"Crack"
The boy screamed in agony but did not move and counted
"Thank you for the 16th stroke sir. May I please have another?"
"Your punishment is concluded Daniel. You may get up, but don't you dare even think of touching your buttokcs or further strokes will ensue."
The boy stood up with his hands in front of him, and a stream of tears was coming from his eyes.
"I hope you have learned your lesson. Remember that every time you commit such an offense, I will make you suffer for it slowly and painfully. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir"
"Very well, you are to face the corner now with your nose firmly pressed against the wall. I will come back in 30 minutes."
I left him facing the wall and came back after 30 minutes to apply some medicine to his cuts. I knew that it wasn't going to help much and the cuts were going to last for at least two weeks.
