Valid areas to spank

After speaking with many people I have realized that there are many similarities between traditional punishments, but there are also many differences. One thing that I find interesting is what area is typically covered in a spanking. If the goal is to leave a more lasting impression on a girl, the idea of spreading out the area of a spanking seems preferable versus giving a more severe spanking focused on only the bottom, which could lead to extensive bruising or blistering.

Traditionally when a spanking is given the area to be reddened is the bare bottom. It is very possible to give an effective spanking working only on the bottom, but there are other tender areas that can be effective to spank. In many cases the backs of a girl's thighs may be spanked. This seems an obvious extension of spanking the bottom and is usually easy to spank in the same position and with the same implement. Both bottom and backs of thighs are padded and tender areas that are safe to spank in most situations.

Beyond bottom and backs of thighs there are other commonly used areas nature has provided which can be more time consuming or difficult to spank. Some of these include palms, inner thighs, between bottom cheeks, breasts or other places. Would reddening palms be worth the time in most cases? This seems more a punishment to be used when trying to preserve a girl's dignity by not baring her. Preserving dignity shouldn't be a concern in most situations anyways, so this seems not worth it to me.

Spanking inner thighs and between cheeks makes more sense. These are both very tender areas. This also seems like more of a natural extension of spanking bottom and backs of thighs. Though getting to inner thighs may require changing positions, and spanking between cheeks may require changing implement. Spanking these areas will certainly take more time to do, but the results would probably be worth it.

Some people would feel that spanking breasts is an offensive idea. I try to keep an open mind about things like this. It goes without saying that this is something only suited to a female who is a legal adult or closer to being one than she is a child. The breasts seem like a valid area, being both tender and padded. From what I have heard it can be very painful as well, which does make it worth the time. Difficulties I can see would be doing this with an uncooperative woman. No doubt the urge for her to cover with hands or arms would be great.

I'd like to hear from others about what areas they think are valid ones. I am a fan of polls as it allows for people to express their opinion quickly without needing to write comments. I'll include one here and hopefully in future posts as well.
