From Spanking Art

A maintenance spanking is a spanking given to a person who has not committed an infraction worthy of punishment, but who has gone so long without a spanking that an authority figure feels it is neccesary as a reminder of what the result of bad behavior feels like. It is also likely that the authority figure is of the opinion that the spankee has not suffered a spanking for any misbehavior recently only because he/she hasn't been caught.

Maintenance spankings are typically given in an environment where spanking is the most common form of discipline, most frequently a domestic setting. Spanking devotees may set a day and time each week. They are usually not given with the severity of a punishment spanking, although they may evolve into one if the spankee displays too much resistance at the idea of receiving a spanking without committing any misbehavior to earn it. While a spanker may commence the ritual, it's often the spankee who is needing the maintenance spanking.
