I "Got The Belt" When I Was A Kid

bth me and my brother grew up in the late 50's. The era of corporal punishment. If we were naughty at home we got either the cane for the serious things and a short strap for minor offences. He it cane or strap we had to undress and reach over a chair or table and our bare bottoms hit hard. The cane use to hurt for very much longer than the strap but the strap stung more at the time it smacked your bottom but did not last long.

we got the strap, not the belt. It was an old very thick and wide miners belt that had been cut down to about 36 inches. Dad use to wrap it around his hand before lashibg it across the middle of our exposed bottoms

@chikki my dad used the same kind of belt

it use to really pack a sting on the bare bottom and done with pin point accuracy right across the middle of both cheeks each time. f course it did not sting nearly so long as the cane and the mrks went very quickly but think the actual sting of the strap was worse than that of the cane for at least a minute after smacking my bottom.

@chikki i agree the sting if the strap on impact was worse than the cane and a wider area was impacted, but the damage wasn’t so long lasting

@jackcros very true but for a short while if felt as if your bottom was on fire...it did with the cane but that lasted longer but the strap made more of your bottom feel as if it was on fire not just a narrow strip where the cane landed....the strap got mot of your bottom and whacks went on top of each other which added to the sting

@chikki i agree with your description of the effect of the belt

it does not look so sinister as thw cane but when it is smacked on the bare bottom it sure does hurt.Being so flexible and not marking it tended to be whacked across the bottom hrder than the cane.
