Seegee:
Going back to M*A*S*H I always saw Hot Lips as the dominant type. There was an episode where Frank went whining to her about something that Hawkeye, and I can't remember if it was Trapper or BJ by that point, had done to him. She wasn't the least bit interested and asked "Hand me my hairbrush." Frank's response was "I don't think spanking them will do any good." I wondered from that point on if she spanked Frank.
I always thought it was more likely Frank's wife spanked him. He was clearly terrified of her, not just her finding out about him and Margaret, but in general.
I always kind of pictured Col. Potter, under enough stress and being an old cavalryman, taking a riding crop or some type of leather implement and giving Hot Lips' bare bottom some "saddle sores".
