Understand - getting a thrashing always turned me on. I longed for him to give it on my back but he never did - I can understand how it would make you feel like a real man - it is a manly thing to be able to take a whipping on your back - never got the opportunity to find out if I could have taken it.
The difference was how my dad hold the belt: single, for small faults...double, holding both ends in one end: the most frequent, it left welts on the skin...
Never got it on my back - my naked butt was bad enough!!! Also had to count every stroke out loud - and he'd ask the question "Is this hard enough for you" and the ONLY acceptable answer was "No sir - harder, please"
