“Bend over and touch your toes”

The punishment position in pretty much all of my early spanking fantasies was the ever-so traditional “touching toes” (with just one minor variant: “holding ankles”).

Furniture then started to creep in – always high-backed, plain, wooden chairs. This sort of thing, for example:

My imagined headmasters’ offices then acquired robust old leather sofas (with arms over which girls could bend), and my fantasy housemasters were persuaded to clear the piles of paper from their desks to make space for punished pupils.

But here’s the strangest thing: I honestly can’t recall the last time when, playing a scene, I made a young lady touch her toes (rather than having her bent over a school desk or table or the end of a bed) – partly, I suspect, since many play partners struggle to assume said position comfortably (which, one suspects, was always actually rather its point). And we don’t even own a plain wooden chair. I think it’s time for a return to traditional values… and for a chair-hunting trip around our local antique shops.

    I can touch my toes easily, especially in high heels, but I hate the position because I’ve got rubbish knees and they actually end up hirting more than my bottom does (not, that is not a birthday challenge Abel 😉 ). But I’m all in favour of being over the back of a wooden chair, especially if a girl has to put her elbows on the seat, which elevates the bottom to the best (and most flattering) position. Oh yeah, and it really hurts!

    I have a test in two days, and look what I’m doing =)

    To me actually OTK is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a spanking. Just seems more personal and more embarassing. Don’t you think?

    Wait a second here… you made *me* touch my toes when I wore a very short pleated skirt! I will also add that your first stroke of the cane was totally ineffective — one might even go so far as to say you missed — the tip of the cane got caught in my skirt (which I quickly yanked back down to a more appropriate length).

    Anyway, my earliest fantasies involved being bent over a sofa or desk in the headmaster’s office. I think this is because I could not touch my toes until very recently. If I was more flexible when I was younger I suspect my earliest fantasies would have involved a student touching his or her toes. Now that I can touch my toes I find my fantasies incorporating that position :-)

    The discomfort of the touching toes position would be entirely too distracting for me to really be able to focus on the punishment… You wouldn’t want me distracted, would you, Abel…? =)

    Plus, having the piece of furniture there does afford one more leniency to rotate one’s hips upward, which presents a better view — I mean a better target… 😀

    Abel, I thought you were a good spanker. You know, the kind that never misses. I guess you could use some practice. Any volunteers? =)

    @Jessica – the fact that it hurts so much is surely part of the attraction of the position, for the top / disciplinarian? Even if it’s the knees that hurt rather than the bottom!

    @MM – LOL when I’d been writing this, I’d been more thinking along the lines that the girls concerned in my original fantasies weren’t actually wearing skirts…!

    @Rayne – doesn’t it become part of the punishment? I guess the touching toes position makes a girl look more vulnerable from a spanking perspective, but perhaps leaves her less so thereafter if the scene, erm, continues along different lines…

    @mtap – are you volunteering? :-)

    haha! funny that this is the first link that comes up on yahoo search for “bend over and touch your toes”. even when i am not looking for spanking related sites, i run into them.

    ok, now on topic of the actual post… i can not for the life of me ever hold the bend over pose. ive got bad inner ears and my balance gets off, which makes me get dizzy and eventually fall over looking up at 6 canes waving down at me when there’s really only one.

    @pirate[J] – OK, so *how* does a spanko come to search for “bend over and touch your toes” in any vanilla context?!! But the losing balance when bent over must be a real nuisance – does it even give you a problem if you’re over a knee?

    I think touching toes is delightfully humiliating. My partner makes me wait in the lounge, naked and touching my toes, for the cane. I am not allowed to move whoever comes in and one afternoon his sister who is a few years younger than us was able to have a good luck of positioned bare buttocks as she went to make coffee in the lounge. I felt her eyes firmly on my bare arse. A few weeks later whn we went shoping together she admitted watching me get a well desrved six strokes of the cane. I think she was impressed I could take six without moving and a bit envious that I was routinely disciplined.
