From my side of the paddle, spanking seems to be something Mrs. Lion learned and consistently applies. I lie lengthwise on the spanking bench. She straps me down and then begins. Her preferred technique is to alternate cheeks, first hitting one, then the other. This technique is typically what over-the-knee spankers use. It makes sense. Large enough paddles to cover both cheeks are very difficult to use over the knee.

The defunct Disciplinary Wives Club website suggested that a disciplinary wife has two spanking implements: a hairbrush or other OTK tool and a longer, more substantial paddle for severe corrections when the husband is draped over a chair or other object. The larger paddle is used to hit both cheeks at once.

I can attest that larger, longer paddles are far more painful than smaller ones. Since I’m always in a position where Mrs. Lion can use either type, she has a lot of choices. Even so, when she uses a larger paddle, like the one I recently got her (right), she still uses it in the alternating cheek technique.

That got me thinking. I’ve seen many videos and GIFs that show spankings with the larger paddles. They always cover both cheeks with each swat. When Mrs. Lion decides to hit me that way, I really feel it. It’s far worse than the alternating cheek method. Part of the reason is that the larger paddle has a bigger target, and Mrs. Lion feels safer hitting harder. I hate those twin-cheek spankings.

After a few swats on both cheeks, Mrs. Lion generally goes back to the alternating cheek spanking. I think she is more comfortable with that technique. Smaller paddles and alternating cheeks have their advantages. For one thing, it is possible to reach tender areas between the butt and thighs. She can also spread my cheeks and apply a paddle to the anal area and my perineum. I truly hate that.

However, a twin-cheeks spanking is more memorable to me. Each swat revisits an already-stinging area of my bottom. It feels like my butt is on fire after a few swats. I complain and yelp to convince Mrs. Lion to take it easy. I’m usually successful in getting her to ease up. Sometimes, she will give me a short respite and then push me to my limit. Occasionally, she will repeat this process over and over. That’s the worst.

She knows how much I hate a twin-cheeks spanking. [Mrs. Lion — I do? I find it awkward to hit both sides at once and I’m never sure if one side is actually taking the brunt of it. I thought alternating concentrated the force on one area and that made it worse. Live and learn.] That’s why I’m surprised that she rarely gives me more than a few swats on both cheeks. Is it habit that pushes her back to the alternating cheeks? I wonder.
