You might think that consistency and symmetry are very similar, and you’d be right; if you spank symmetrically, you usually do it consistently as well. But the consistency I want to talk about here is the consistency of intensity.

At a recent spanking event at our local dungeon, I was asked more than once to give a “light-to-medium” spanking. There could be any number of reasons for this; maybe the bottoms wanted to save up their stamina, or maybe they didn’t like harder spankings, or maybe they were feeling extra-sensitive to pain. Whatever the reason, as the top it’s my job to provide the kind of spanking the bottom asks for.

I’ve spanked a lot of people in my time, and those who’ve been spanked by me multiple times know that I am consistent in my intensity when a specific intensity is asked for. When doing a brief pickup-style spanking, there usually isn’t time to ramp someone up; if I’m asked for a light-to-medium spanking, that’s what I’m going to give. (Usually people who ask for that also request “a few hard ones at the end”, which I’m only too happy to provide.)

My general default for spanking intensity, at least to start, is “firm” — not light or medium, but not hard either. To me “firm” is a little harder than medium, but it’s more than just the intensity; it’s also the confidence level with which one spanks. When I spank someone firmly, I do it with the confidence of knowing that I’m about to do a good job, that I’m going to fulfill their needs and wants, that they’re not going to feel like I pushed their limits or tried to take liberties. A good, firm spanking as a baseline sets the scene in a way that a light warm-up spanking doesn’t. So when people come to me for a fun spanking (punishment/funishment spankings require a different headspace) they know what they’re in for: a firm spanking that, over time, grows harder, until it reaches about 80-90 percent of their intensity limit.

I’m consistent. It’s one of my better traits as a spanker. Not just with intensity, but in this case, consistent intensity and consistent intensity expectations are vital to creating a great spanking.
