HARDER. Beware the wrath of a partner who disapproves of your bad habits. Filling a bathtub is an unusual, if sensual, way to measure how long a painful belting of your ass should take place. 400 incessant, interminable strokes are necessary. The pain resumes the next day with 75 blazing tawse strokes, ten dozen unwavering cuts of the cane and a final attack that leaves one breathless with its harshness. There is no mercy for this man, just incomparable hurt from his closest friend.
