Then an implement will be chosen - perhaps a rattan can, or a switch trimmed from a resilient hardwood, or maybe a plastic or fiberglass rod - with which to chastise our friend. This will not be a casual punishment resulting in a few red marks upon the buttocks. This will be the serious infliction of pain resulting in bruises that stretch from side to side and from the iliacs to half way down the thighs. Nikka may need to experience what it feels like to have the bleeding of lacerated skin staunched with vinegar.
Mmmm!
That sounds really good, e.e.norcod, but like Katmandu stated, I am thinking about something a bit more permanent. Though I still have to try one of them Norcod whips that I read about in Candy amongst the Christians

Thanks for the cheering Mobius.

Thanks for the info, albear. This seems to be the next best thing to branding, although it may require several sessions, given the fact that my skin heals extremely fast and its colour makes scars almost invisible.
