Some thoughts please on punishment spankings for misdemeanours .

I have been told I will be getting a punishment spanking for some mistakes I made recently when I visit my spanker later this week .

It will be only the second time in 3 years that I will have been punished .I agree that I deserve it , and will accept it but I hated the first one ....it is so different to what we normally do .

Also it will be the first spanking Ive had in quite a while as my spanker has been ill and off the scene . Im bound to be "soft" so taking a cold spanking is going to hurt .

So ... should one person be allowed to punish another this way ?
And ... anybody got any ideas how I can "toughen up" quickly ?
