Spankings are one of a Mistress's many training tools. Spankings are to be carried out immediately, no appeals, apologies, excuses, whining etc. on the bare button with panties down and always Over-the-knees (OTK). Using whichever tool Mistress decides is best (paddle, strap, hairbrush, wooden spoon, cane etc).
Regardless of who is there or locations. There may be some limitations to being able to administer a spanking, in which case the sissy is told that there will be a spanking later. This is terrible for the sissy as she knows a delayed spanking is going to be a punishment spanking as compared to a correction spanking.
Reminder Spankings - Given on a schedule as a reminder of sissy's status in life. Usually daily, OTK, with a paddle or hairbrush. Daily or weekly.
Correction spankings - when a sissy is learning a new task and is in learning mode. These spankings are to correct poor behavior or lack of perfection. Everything a sissy does reflects on her Mistress. Generally attended my Mistresses's girlfriends, and other sissies.
If the Sissy identifies her mistake she may ask for a correction spanking - this sometimes prevents Mistress from having to administer a punishment spanking.
Punishment spankings - intended to reinforce learning and leave a lasting impression! When sissy has made a major mistake and/or generally embarrassed herself and her mistress! If Sissy is lucky she may be able to sit down in a couple of days after her spanking.
All spanking is done at full strength. Sissy may not move or flinch, turn away, cover her bottom with her hands, if she does - count is restarted. Sissy must count the stokes, audibly, if crying and the count is not heard, or is incorrect then the count is restarted. Sissy is not to cry out loud. Sissy must cry silently, and never complain.
Corner time follows a spanking. Sissy is put into a corner with her nose on the wall. Sometimes a coin is placed on the wall that sissy must hold there. Sissy holds her skirt up to display her red bottom and considers her bad behavior. This may last for an hour or so. After that time is up sissy thanks Mistress for her spanking and is allowed to beg for more.
