OTK discipline is a timeless method of punishment that involves giving strict smacks to the rear end. It reinforces control and teaches compliance. The receiver usually assumes a posture across the thighs of the disciplinarian. OTK paddling can vary from light reprimand to intense disciplinary action. It can evoke an array of feelings including embarrassment, comfort, and even arousal. Some people pursue OTK paddling for sexual pleasure as part of their sexual encounters.
