What fraction of the community is: (ROUGHLY and overall in US/UK/Aus/NZ or EU)
Light: Spanking, role play. No long-lasting significant marks on a typical participant. NO, I am not including a person who bruises if you give a light spank. Yes, I know some people bruise at anything.
Medium: Anything that leaves a significant mark that lasts more than a day. IE whipping but not hard caning Possible welts but no blood.
Heavy: Marks. True caning. Black and blue areas. Possible blood to skin breaks.
Extreme: Branding. Nipple torture that significantly deforms the nipple permanently.
