*Increasing the Sensation*
A spanking typically can be given over clothes, underwear or on the bare-bottom (or even all 3 during a single spanking). Starting a spanking over a pair of jeans can be a good a warm-up, and it creates a different sensation. Tends to be more of a thud feel, especially with a wood paddle. We’ve done some really fun “school-girl” type roleplays and they work great over jeans. A school paddle is pretty mean, especially without a long warm-up… but keeping jeans up really helps with that. Plus, the roleplay feels more realistic (how many school paddlings were really given on the bare-bottom?).
So a spanking over jeans has real advantages. Same with a spanking over the underwear/panties. The level of protection is far less, so more is felt (especially the sting). There is some protection though, and that does impact the sensation felt. That goes for both spankee and spanker too… and that sensation can be expanded further with different types of panties (from regular cotton to fancy silk or satin). Modesty is also protected to a certain degree. We really like spankings over the panties… especially OTK hand spankings.
Of course, there is always the bare-bottom spanking. Zero protection, so the sensation felt is unfiltered. The implement tends to make more of a difference for that reason. Bare-bottom works for all types of spankings, and for us it’s a favorite.
Things don’t end with the bare bottom though. There are ways to further increase the 
sensation. A mild example would be wetting the bottom with water (a “wet bottom” spanking)… or adding cold by applying ice or cold metal (Thomas has an aluminum paddle which he’s places in the freezer and then used to cool Suzy’s bottom before/after a spanking with that same aluminum paddle). There are also things like warming massage oils, which we’ve used before… up to things like Ben-Gay and even capsaicin (which comes from chili peppers).
This week at the Roundtable we’d like to talk more about increasing the spanking sensation. As always, we welcome everyone. Top, bottom, switch, self-spanker… we’d love to hear from you, so please don’t be shy.
Here are a few questions to get the discussion going.
Have you ever done anything to increase the sensation felt during a bare bottom spanking? If so… what, how often, what type of spankings, and what are your overall thoughts? If not… is there anything you’d like to try?
We invite you to leave a comment below, or if you like you can Email us at ToddnSuzy@yahoo.com and we’ll post your thoughts in the Sunday Roundtable Wrap-up.
Also have the Quick Response Poll and we do invite you to share your vote there too.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before I usually like spanking over jeans or skirt best, though I like over panties as well. Bare bottom isn’t so much about sensation to me as it is about modesty and intimacy….honestly panties don’t offer THAT much physical protection as far as sensation goes, but I feel more comfortable with them with most people.
As far as when I have gone bare bottom, I haven’t done anything to increase the sensation like wet bottom spanking or cold or things like that. I tend to not especially like sting anyway…..and most things that you add to increase sensation seem to be aimed at adding more sting. Not really interested in that case.

Chase has used two things that increased the sensation of a spanking. Both were used at my request for fun/playful spankings and because I was a bit curious. Let me tell you, curiosity isn’t always a good thing, lol! We tried was ICY HOT. *shakes head at self* That was not a brilliant idea on my part. It burned like crazy. Here’s the post, if you’re interested.

More commonly we use lotion which increases the stinging sensation. Now I’m not a fan of a stinging bottom, in fact I hate it. However, when I’m being spanked on what feels like a chapped bottom, the lotion helps a lot… at that point I would rather feel the sting than the pain of a spanked-chapped bottom. Nice discussion this week! I’m curious to see what others have used and how it worked for them. Jeez, there I go with the curiosity again… I need to quite that as it could be dangerous for my bottom.

Have only ever tried wet and found it NO different from having a dry bottom. Not sure why and believe Sir has tried it time and time again but still feels the same as having a spanking on a dry bottom.

I’ve tried wet bottom spanking and did enjoy that/ It has to be warm though, or I don’t care for it as much. As for trying anything, maybe oil.
