Warm-up spanking
From Spanking Art
A warm-up spanking is a light spanking given in the beginning of a spanking session to warm up the spankee for a more severe spanking to follow. This is to bring up the spankee's (and spanker's) circulation, allowing his or her endorphins to gradually build up, and to help him or her relax into the sensation of getting spanked.
Warm-ups also reduce the chance of marks.
For warm-up, usually a light hand-spanking is given, which after some time gets gradually harder. The idea is to build up slowly and to progress to harder spanks (given with the hand or with implements) no earlier than the bottom is really ready and longing for these. A long warm-up can take as much as an hour in shorter cycles before the "actual" spanking begins.
Warm-up spankings can be given on the bare bottom, but it is also popular to begin the spanking on a fully clothed bottom, then pulling down the trousers (or lifting up the skirt) to continue the spanking for a while on the briefs or panties, until the spanker feels is time to pull these down and to finish the warm-up.
By definition, a warm-up is a portion of a session. After the warm-up, the bottom is ordered to take a new position in order to provide a break, and tell the spankee things are progressing. When the next cycle begins, the spanker uses a harsher implement, e.g. a paddle. At this time, the spanker should deliberately strike with a firm hand.
