The warmup is a vitally important part of the spanking process. When your skin is properly warmed up, blood rushes to the area in question and the main event hurts a little less - meaning you can go for longer and take more of a thrashing. A good warmup also helps both the spanker and the spankee figure out where they’re at that day and calibrate accordingly, especially if they’ve not played together much or it’s been a while.

In this week’s film, though, Blake and Sarah forgo the warming-up process entirely in favour of a particularly harsh cold paddling for one full, unrelenting minute. It’s an extremely hot scene, partly because skipping the warmup is usually a bad idea; this is a punishment, after all, and Sarah isn’t doing anything to make it any easier.
