To me the physical contact, feeling your skin next to them is an important part of the building the bond between Daddy and you as his girl.
For a good many of us, we need to be spanked from time to time to teach us a lesson so we learn not to repeat an infraction or as a reminder of our role within the relationship, taking us into our more submissive mindset. How far this may go is something often talked about, do you go to 'break in' the girl or just to taking us to the point of being tearful?
There is a big need for the mutual understanding between girl and Daddy about their wants and needs with each striving to meet it with this placing a lot of demands on our communication abilities not least of Daddy because he has extra responsibilities in this role.
Any spanking needs to taken only to the level the girl actually ready to take it: even if a girl wants to be 'broken in' she may not be in the confident and secure sate of mind at that point in their life to actually handle it.
Ultimately, it is for daddy to set the boundaries for their girl even if you as that girl wish to cross them.
When it is possible to set such mutual respect then a spanking relationship betwen girl and Daddy can soar to new and greater heights.
