Everyone’s had enough of Richard’s laziness and bad behaviour – so much so in fact that his parents have sent him to spend a while living with his super-strict aunt and uncle. When he tries to carry on as usual, ignoring his curfew and “forgetting” his chores, they know they’re going to have to try a different approach. A single spanking is one thing, but to really get the message across they’re going to have to go a step further and keep their naughty nephew sore and pink all day long.

From morning till evening, Richard’s bottom is spanked till it glows. We get to follow him as he’s topped up over and over again, bent over the sofa and the dining table and his aunt’s lap. He’s beaten over his jeans and straight on the bare; with a practiced hand and with the back of a stinging hairbrush. By the end of it he’s not sure which is worse – the soreness of the frequent spankings, or the humiliation of having his backside checked to make sure it’s still rosy and warm.

When bedtime comes, he really does seem to have learned his lesson. He’ll have to sleep on his front all night, and he’ll be feeling the sting of his all-day punishment for a little while yet.
