My grandfather had a barn he would take me to on his farm at 14. He stripped me naked and tied my hands above my head to a rafter. He pulled out this whip he had and introduced me to a real whipping. I could see he was naked and stroking his erection as he whipped me. I could not believe how hard i got from it. The pain was unbearable but wanted more.
Love that position. I waa trained to take it without making crying out loud or screaming. Taking it like a man as you put it. That started with my dad long before i hit puberty.
My old cross country coach used to do that to me on runs. Said no pain no gain. Learning to overcome pain will help me be a better runner to go further despite pain. It worked. Because a much better runner. But, i also began enjoying it. Wanting to push tue limits on what i can take.
To be flogged a boy should be tied spread eagled and naked - arms up, legs spread - both wide apart. Once "ready for punishment", he remains silent or gets extra strokes. He needs to act like a man.
