Covering the Administering
of Spencer Discipline:
Women are to be spanked, never whipped. Any
dictionary will explain the difference. Mine
explains as follows: "Whip - to strike with
a whip, flog beat, lash. Spank - to slap
forcibly on the buttocks." Under Spencer
Rules a girl or woman can be spanked with
the palm of the hand only. No other spanking
agency can be used - not even a light strap
or ruler.
Care must be taken not to bruise the flesh,
raise welts or injure the body in any way.
The punishment should continue long enough,
however, to be truly effective and to impart
a beneficial lesson.
A spanking must never be administered in
anger. Wait until both parties are calm and
it can be carried out properly.
The spanking over, the incident must close.
To hold anything against a punished partner,
after a spanking or whipping has been given,
is in direct violation of this whole method
of correction.
A spanking or whipping must never be given
before a third party under any
circumstances, nor is any one to be informed
that such discipline is employed without the
free consent and willing permission of both
parties.
Requested punishment must be given. Here we
have a most important and valuable feature
of the Spencer Plan. It is not enough to
take the discipline without fuss or argument
when our punishing partner feels we should
have it, we must also ask for it, when we
know or feel that we deserve it!
Men are to be whipped. A light leather
strap, a wooden paddle or ruler can be
employed to administer the punishment with.
Wives must use extreme care, however, not to
cut the flesh, raise welts or injure the
recipients in any way.
Not more than two spanking or two whippings
can be administered in any one day. It is
seldom necessary to observe this precaution
- but it is put in to cover very unusual and
unexpected circumstances. In the extremely
rare instances where a wife really merits
more than two spankings in any one day, the
punishment must be postponed to the next day
or to whatever day her husband deems best.
The same holds true for the husband who
needs such extreme discipline.
The punishment should be inflicted upon the
bare skin. In no other way can a careful
check be kept on the progress of the
spanking or whipping. Remember, the idea of
modern corporal punishment is to sting the
flesh effectively, without cutting or
harming it in any way. To do the job
intelligently, therefore, a constant
scrutiny of the skin must be maintained. A
spanking or whipping administered over
clothing - even a thin, single garment is
"blind punishment." It may be altogether too
severe, or not severe enough.
Spencer doctrines call for the prompt
acceptance of the discipline. There must be
no argument - no protest - no pleading to be
let off - no hard feelings about it! |
