People that enjoy spanking, whether giving or receiving, usually have a lot of knowledge about spanking implements. There are many different types of spanking implements and nearly every type of spanking implement is available in a variety of materials. Each material provides a different feeling, a different sting or thud, and people who enjoy being spanked can often tell what they’re being hit with by how it feels when it smacks their skin.
Everyone has their favorite implement or sometimes a few implements that they enjoy. Spankers usually have implements that they love to spank with. These are most likely implements that feel good in their hand because they are perfectly constructed and balanced. These implements always give the perfect smack without a lot of planning and effort by the user. They make a really pleasing sound when they come in contact with skin of the receiver. It’s easy to cause just the right level of pain with the favorite implements, and they’re usually very well broken in from being used so often. Spankers like using their own implements, the items that they’re used to, and the ones that feel completely natural to them almost like an extension of their hand. They are confident that they can wield these implements with complete accuracy and with total control, and spankers like to know that they have that level of control with their implements because then they can spank in total confidence that they won’t cause any unwanted damage or pain because they are so familiar with the implement in their hand.
People who enjoy being spanked also have their favorite implements. They usually enjoy certain materials over others, like wood over leather or leather over Lucite for instance. As much as someone may enjoy spanking, they usually enjoy specific implements and may dread others. Some people may love being paddled with wood paddles, but hate leather paddles or leather belts. This is how dominant people can sometimes punish a submissive who enjoys being spanked; they punish with an implement that they know the submissive doesn’t enjoy. The implements that a 
submissive enjoys will usually cause sexual arousal, because the implements cause a type of pain that is enjoyable in some ways. Some submissives prefer a stingy smack and some prefer a thuddy smack.
