The 10 Rules of the Modernized Spencer Plan

Our aim was to "modernize" her plan to better fit this century. When published in 1936 her "Spencer Spanking Plan" fit the times she lived in. We believe our Modified Spencer Plan is more in keeping with contemporary acceptance of equality between men and women.

1. Whenever possible the partner is to be hand spanked; not strapped or paddled. This encourages a the highest level of intimacy in the discipline. However under the Modified Spencer Plan a partner may be disciplined with an implement (see Rule #7).

2. Care should be taken not to bruise, raise welts or injure your partner in any way. The punishment should continue long enough however, to be truly effective and to impart a beneficial lesson for your partner. Your aim is to deliver responsible discipline, not mindless abuse.

3. A spanking must never be administered in anger. Wait until both parties are calm and it can be carried out properly and safely.

4. The spanking over, the incident must close. To hold anything against a punished partner, after a spanking or whipping has been given, is in direct violation of this whole method of correction.

5. A spanking must never be given before a third party without the FREE CONSENT and WILLING Permission of both parties PRIOR to the event. Nor is any one to be informed that such discipline is employed without the FREE CONSENT and WILLING Permission of both parties. The Modified Spencer Plan is meant to be a private, intimate agreement base in love and compassion for your partner. It does not however exclude the potential necessity for special circumstances.

6. Requested punishment MUST be given. Here we have a most important and valuable feature of the Original Spencer Plan. It is not enough to take the discipline without fuss or argument when our punishing partner feels we should have it -- we must also ASK FOR IT, when we know or feel that we deserve it! A compassionate partner should never dispute or challenge a requested spanking, and should deliver punishment at the first available opportunity.

7. Only implements previously agreed to by both parties may be used on a partner. A light leather strap or belt, a wooden paddle, or ruler would be preferred to administer the punishment with. Partners must use extreme care, however, not to cut the flesh, raise welts or injure their partner in any way. The only implement which is permitted at all times is the hand; all other times the implement should be decided upon by both partners, or selected by the recipient before discipline is administered.

8. Not more than two punishments can be administered in any one day. It is seldom necessary to observe this precaution -- but it is here to cover very unusual and unexpected circumstances. In the extremely rare instances where a partner really merits more than two spankings in any one day, the punishment must be postponed to the next day or to whatever following day they decide is best. An agreed upon punishment can NOT be forgotten or forgiven, only delayed.

9. The punishment should be inflicted upon the bare skin. In no other way can a careful check be kept on the progress of the spanking or whipping. Remember, the idea of corporal punishment is to sting the flesh effectively without truly harming the partner in any way. To do the job intelligently a constant scrutiny of the skin must be maintained. Discipline administered over clothing -- even a thin, single garment is "blind punishment." It may be altogether too severe, or not severe enough. At minimum the partner is to be disciplined on a bare, naked bottom.

10. There must be PROMPT ACCEPTANCE of discipline. There must be no argument -- no protest -- no pleading to be let off -- and NEVER any hard feelings about it! Your partner puts a high level of trust in you to bear out your responsibility in the agreement. In a healthy and open relationship it is rarely a matter of concern because it is a cooperative decision, not a contested one.
