Is spanking foreplay?

I have just seen a tweet suggesting that spanking is not foreplay and my curious mind has been at work trying to unravel it. I am still in London on vacation where I enjoy partaking in the odd session paid session of spanking and corporal punishment myself with Strictly Miss Brown, as well as my Master, and the two play different roles in my life. With my Master, who I am collared to, my job is specifically to service his needs, which are innately sexual. This means he uses me to pleasure him by commanding me with things such as putting my bottom in the air for a punishment, playing with his cock and instructing me to make him cum (It is extremely thrilling when he instructs me to ‘bend over’). We don’t always interact in such a strict tone but all interactions involve spanking (OTK or otherwise) of some sort, and in fact, him putting his hand on my bottom is the most thrilling experience for me as I know he is in the mood and I am therefore in for it. The very light touch instantly wakes me up and I crave his next instruction. This example would seem to indicate that spanking, for me, is most certainly foreplay. Objectifying my bottom as a source for his sadistic fantasies drives me wild and he knows it’s all I need to get me in the mood.

With Strictly Miss Brown, I enjoy the strict nature of the role play, the sensuality of her commanding words, the adventure into another world outside of my own. Her punishment is severe and there is no reward other than my impending reformation! Her scenes are authentic and real — my mind wanders to a time when I would have received such a punishment from school teachers with a real intention to hurt and a terrible stroke. Miss Brown’s cane strokes are all executed with devastating perfection and the most I can expect in reward is the odd brush of a delicate soft hand upon my stripes.

Of course, spanking is very different from caning. The touch of the hand on the bottom, the bodies entwined (OTK), the hand brushing past the most sensitive and taboo organs of the body is all fiercely exciting — the calm before the storm. I enjoy being lured into this false sense of security. It relaxes me to the point where the endorphins kick in and I can except the punishment I am required to take after it. Caning is certainly not foreplay for me — it is for my Master however and that excites me which is an emotional type of foreplay. I enjoy receiving no pleasure in these situations and just doing as I’m told – my Master’s orgasm is my reward (along with the endorphins!).

Spanking, therefore, because of the intimacy is always foreplay for me because it is always arousing. Caning, because it is harsh and not particularly intimate is not foreplay for me as it distances me from my playmate physically however binds me more emotionally through deep submission and subjection. If this were a theory I was going to submit to be marked, however, I would have to investigate further and consider that spanking is not always foreplay, because sometimes it is the main course!
