The Psychological Importance of Panties

I wonder if panties make spankings hurt more because they let the implement slide.

Actually I doubt it. But strictly in the interest of science, perhaps some field research is called for?

I'm not sure what is meant by 'letting the implement slide', or why that would make a stroke hurt more - if it slid sideways on impact, wouldn't that deflect part of the force of the blow? Also, I'd've thought that it would be less likely to slide over fabric, rather than smooth skin. However, I've heard that tight panties can make an implement spanking worse, as the bottom is unable to flatten out on impact, which normally absorbs some of the energy of the stroke. And of course there's the argument that spankers spank harder on panties to overcome the percieved protection panties offer, and because they can't see the reddening or marking of the bottom. Really, we're doing them a favour by taking their panties down and punishing them on the bare....!

That's the way I prefer to look at it.

Thank you for saving me from science.
