The difference in spanking positions...like chalk and cheese

I got spanked three times in one day, on Thursday last week. I mean for goodness sake...how hard is it to just behave...obviously for me its extremely difficult.     Anyway, the first time was because I left a wet towel on the bed. I was positioned laying on the bed and he used the flogger and the rug beater and a blind fold. The blind fold did actually help because I couldn't see what was coming...still the rug beater hurts like hell and had me squirming and moving around a lot and crying, until finally he stopped. And when I say finally it makes it sounds like it used it for ages...he didn't...only a few swipes with it. But those few swipes felt like an age.     The second time was because I was sarcastic and had a bad attitude towards Sir and he had to tell me over three times to knock it off, the next thing I know I'm bent over the kitchen bench, his hand on my back and my backside being spanked hard with a wooden spoon. This was really quick and about half a dozen swipes. After ward I went straight to his arms and apologised - funny how that happens isn't it.                 The third time was because I was stressing about an issue and he decided just because he can he would and he wanted to experiment with implements and positions. I was told to go and get the rub beater and then he sat back on the sofa, got himself comfortable and told me to get across his knee. This I did. His hand FIRMLY on my back, my pants down around my knees, bare bottom his target and whack whack whack he whacked away for quite a long time, in different places, left cheek, right cheek, across the middle, thighs, the sit spot, quick succession of swats and then slow swats - with the rug beater. I couldn't really move. And it hurt. One very red bottom 20 minutes later I have come to the conclusion there is very definitely a difference in the pain of a spanking depending on the position one is held in. The position over his knee was easier to take - not that it was that easy in the first place but I don't think his swing was a forceful as if he were standing above me when I'm laid on the bed or across the bed. Has anyone else ever noticed this? Don't get me wrong, it hurt but it didn't make me cry as it would have done if I were laying across the bed. And this didn't take away from the punishment either (actually it was good not to cry for a change) I just think he couldn't put in such a forceful swipe while I'm across his knee as he can if he was stood up behind me. I would always take an over the knee spanking (with or without implements) any day - not because of the difference in pain, but because of the intimacy of it. I just prefer it. Sir doesn't because it hurts his hand ... kiwi pauses here to wait for the cries of awwww in sympathy for Sir.....but he does like the rug beater...its light and small and very easy to use over the knee he said. He also told me to expect more over the knee spankings from now on. Best I learn to be on my best behaviour! I can try!  Talk about Mission Impossible.
