It might be a novelty to new teacher Ms Blake, but for Headmaster Mike Pain, institutional corporal punishment is part and parcel of running a school. After hearing reports that Pandora Blake’s art classes are a little out of control, he invites her to his office for some friendly guidance on discipline.

Having never given corporal punishment before, you’d expect Ms Blake to be anxious. What you might not expect is the gleam in her eyes that tells more of excitement than professional nerves. It’s clear from the flirty chemistry between them that Ms Blake and Mr Pain enjoy talking about traditional school punishment – but will Ms Blake enjoy Mike’s demonstration?

Mike talks her through the rituals and rules of delivering a school beating: how many strokes, how hard, and when to pull down the student’s underwear and smack them on the bare. Although the ritual is rigid, his teaching method is unorthodox – Mr Pain bends over the desk to allow Ms Blake to get some hands-on practice with the slipper. In between stinging swats, the obliging headmaster offers critique and tips – after all, it’s important that Ms Blake is able to administer a punishment with vigour and accuracy. As he urges her to spank him harder, and to pull down his trousers and apply the slipper to his bare bottom, it’s clear that Ms Blake is either a pretty fast learner or a natural spanking enthusiast.

After some heavy bare-bottomed smacks with the slipper, it’s time for a lesson with the ruler. Ms Blake marvels at the vivid marks she’s making on his bottom after the first few hard strokes, and then administers six rapid swats to mimic a real-life whacking. As she gets more confident, and delivers more painful punishment, Ms Blake expresses her gratitude to the patient headmaster.

“It’s my pleasure,” he replies – and you know it really is.
