I'm with you on the bare hand spanking. Ideally over the knee or some other slightly degrading position. Caning if the person is well trained in safety and the scene/justification is well executed. In my opinion caning is most pleasurable when already on the verge of subspace. Just as long as it's not a flogger, meh. A flogger has never done anything for me. (Anyone else?)
(I'm rambling to avoid writing a grad school paper, probably need a good spanking for procrastinating)
Actually I was clock spanked with a mini flogger always instructed to hold my balls so they would not get struck always milked after the whipping
The only kind of spanking that excited me probably because of the known milking to follow
