3. Caning styles -- 3 broad categories (10 minutes) (with Demo)
   
   
   1. California or American style.
      
      
      1. More or less gradual increase in sensation, continually delivered.
         
         
      2. Good warm-up.
      
      
      
   2. English or traditional style.
      
      
      1. Usually no warm-up, at least none with the cane.
         
         
      2. Sudden sensation followed by a pause.
         
         
      3. Uses both wrist and arm to deliver stroke with a snap.
      
      
      
   3. European style.
      
      
      1. Similar to English, with separate strokes.
         
         
      2. Uses no wrist; delivered with arm and shoulder. Equal sensation to both buttocks; more thuddy than English.
         
         
      3. Rather like paddling with no "English."
   
   
   
4. Caning techniques. (10 minutes)
   
   
   1. Flat strokes. "Traditional" method, usually on thighs or buttocks.
      
      
   2. False strokes into pillow or towels.
      
      
   3. Wrapping. Usuallyavoided, but effective for those into extreme sensation.
      
      
   4. Arching strokes.
      
      
      1. Allows use of only the end of the cane.
         
         
      2. Allows reaching into areas not normally accessible.
      
      
      
   5. Use of the tip.
      
      
      1. Flicking.
         
         
      2. Plinking.
         
         
      3. Scratching and tickling.

   2. Bent-over or kneel-over.

   1. Both male and female.
      
      
   2. Female special places.
      
      
   3. Male special places.
   
   
   
7. Scene types (15 minutes) (Demo)
   
   
   1. Corporal punishment more DS than SM.
      
      
      1. Examples
         
         
         1. Schoolmaster scenes- "6 of my best!"
            
            
         2. Domestic or servant discipline.
            
            
         3. Judicial scenes.
         
         
         
      2. Context is important.
         
         
      3. Usually kneeling, bent-over or missionary position
         
         
      4. Little warm-up.
         
         
      5. Short duration.
      
      
      
   2. Sensual SM.
      
      
      1. Sensation is more important.
         
         
      2. Usually standing or lying down.
         
         
      3. Gradual warm-up.
         
         
      4. Get endorphins and adrenaline flowing.
         
         
      5. Approaches pain threshold, but doesn't exceed it
         
         
      6. Can be a very long scene 2 or more hours, depending on how many orgasms the
         
         bottom can stand to have.
      
      
      
   3. Sadistic SM
      
      
      1. Mental play "Mindfuck" adds much to this kind of scene.
         
         
      2. Can be any position.
         
         
      3. More or less warm-up, depending on top preference.
         
         
      4. Sensations exceed pain threshold, so that it always hurts. As endorphins build, the
         
         intensity of stroke delivered increases so that the strokes always hurt. At some point,
         
         however, usually the top cannot swing any harder without causing damage to the
         
         bottom, or the top has to stop from exhaustion.
         
         
      5. Can be longer duration than CP scene, depending on bottom durability and endorphin
         
         production ability
