If you are already a little longer in the field of BDSM on the road, you will certainly have encountered the term caning. This is the punishment with the cane, which is used by many Dominas and Dommes for chastisement in case of misconduct.
But it is not for nothing that caning is also used as an instrument of torture in many countries. If used incorrectly, it can quickly lead to injuries. We will show you how caning works and what to watch out for.
Caning or also "English education
Caning is often referred to as the English form of education. This is due to the fact that especially in the Victorian era, the chastisement of students in England was common and everyday. It was soon discovered that the blows on the hand used until then could lead to severe injuries.
An alternative was sought. Caning with a rattan cane on the delinquent's bare buttocks represented an alternative that was considered good at the time. In the sexually connoted caning of today, the blows on the back, buttocks or soles of the feet are preferred. There are two different variants.
Caning with warming up
So that the caning does not leave any clear traces and does not become too painful for the person to be punished, the body regions are usually preheated. By a persistent spanking with the hand or with paddles the areas are prepared for the caning.
The warmed up skin and thus also the warmed up muscles can thus react better to the blows with the cane. It is worthwhile to invest a little more time here and to make the spanking session quiet long and extended.
The increase in pleasure through caning will clearly show you how effective and pleasurable this form of punishment can be.
The Cold Caning
In cold caning, the dominatrix or dom does not preheat the body regions, but starts directly with the strokes with the cane.
On the one hand, this leads to the fact that clear traces remain and the pain is perceived much more intense. Thus, cold caning is only a possibility for real masochists who can gain their pleasure from the pain.
Those who can only endure moderate pain should definitely not consider cold caning.
Consider the health hazards
It is not for nothing that caning is still a recognized method of torture and punishment in some Southeast Asian countries. If the blows are too firm or poorly placed, the skin can burst open and a real wound can result.
Often the scars of such wounds remain for years. For this reason, if you want to do caning yourself, you should approach the subject very carefully and slowly.
Always remember the most important rule of BDSM "SSC" - Safe, sane and consensual - and slowly approach the right level of caning.
