The individual subjected to this normally assumes a posture across the lap of the punisher. OTK paddling can vary from mild reprimand to harsh punitive measures. It can elicit a range of emotions including embarrassment, relief, and sexual excitement. Some people pursue OTK spanking for sexual pleasure as part of their romantic encounters.
