did you show your stripes after a caning to others and also did others show you their stripes.My canings left their marks on my bottom for 2 weeks after and sitting was out for several days after, I had to sleep on my stomach.How did you deal with your marks.

@JohnClark Yes, plenty of viewing went on, although, as it was such a standard thing for most of us, we tended to be used to the sight, to the extent that it was not, as others have reported, in any sense a 'badge of honour'. Yes, if it had been done effectively, sitting was horrible, but they still made us sit

What you describe resonates with me. I also went to a Catholic boys school, but not as a boarder. There was a strong ethos for order, regulation and ritual, mixed with very sound education. The mantra of the school was "turning boys into gentlemen". Corporal punishment was ever present and, much as for you, was often the default option. Most punishments were administered with a cane, but sometimes a strap. Bare bottom was not the norm by any means, but it did happen and only by a senior master and in private.
