The Science of Spank Angle

We've examined many aspects of spanking such as body position, implement length/weight/shape/composition, wrist action, swing radius, and so forth. But I don't recall considering the angle at which a hand or implement strikes the spankee's bottom.

The easiest and perhaps most obvious technique is the perpendicular strike, illustrated below. The path of the swing is at a 90 degree angle to the length of the spankee's body.

The impact tends to land on the crests of the bottom. Simple, right? Simple yes, but not right. Striking only the crests neglects the wider, sturdier lower slopes. It ignores the sit spots that can provide helpful reminders well after the spanking concludes. Any misplaced swats that land high risk injuring the tailbone.

A skilled spanker uses an uppercut angle that concentrates the strikes on the lower slopes and sit spots, as shown below.

That's more like it!

Now let's consider a spankee who is bent at the waist. Bending tends to stretch the bottom, diminish the benefit of natural padding, and increase the discomfort generated. It also affects the optimal spanking angle.

In this instance, the best angle is parallel to the ground as seen above. Because the spankee is bent forward, her lower slopes are fully exposed to a level swing. The target should again be the widest portion of the bottom.

I encourage all spankers, regardless of your purpose, to aim your swats where they will deliver maximum benefit and avoid safety concerns.
