Position	Description
Bent over	In this position, the spanked person leans over to the front. If the spanker wants body contact, he can put his hand on the end of the spanked person's back, shoulders or (very carefully) head/neck.	Proximity: variable Control: variable Pain: ★☆☆
Bent over with feet in the air	This is a more vulnerable version of the "bent over" position. The posed person is bent over an object and his head is directed to the ground. His feet do not reach the ground and hang in the air. His center of gravity is thus shifted further forward. The more the person is bent forward, the more vulnerable and helpless the situation of the person is.	Proximity: variable Control: variable Pain: ★☆☆
Supine position with legs in the air (diaper position)	The person being stretched lies on his back and his legs are held up in the air by the person doing the stretching. Either the person being stretched or the person doing the stretching can ensure that the legs do not touch the floor in this position.	Proximity: ★☆☆ Control: ★☆☆ Pain: ★★★
On hands and knees	The person being stretched places the hands and knees on a comfortable support. The spine remains more or less straight and parallel to the support.	Proximity: ☆☆☆ Control: ☆☆☆ Pain: ★★☆
On head and knee	The buttocks of the person being stretched are lifted by kneeling on a support (e.g. bed) and leaning on the support with the elbow or the head.	Proximity: ☆☆☆ Control: ☆☆☆ Pain: ★★☆
Over knees	This is the spanking position par excellence. The spanker sits and the spanked is placed over the lap of the spanker. There is proximity body contact between the spanker and the spanked.	Proximity: ★★★ Control: ★☆☆ Pain: ★☆☆
Over knees with feet in the air	This is a more vulnerable version of the "over-the-knee" position for the person being spanked. Instead of being balanced over the spanker's lap, the spanked person's center of gravity is shifted further forward, so that they rest their elbows or even face directly on the floor. This means that the person being spanked loses control of his posture and is very much at the mercy of the spanker and has little control over the situation.	Proximity: ★★★ Control: ★★☆ Pain: ★★☆
Put over the knee, with the leg tucked in	This is another version of the "over-the-knee" position. Instead of lying freely on the spanker's lap, the spanked person is now additionally fixed by one of the spanker's legs. In this position, the spanker has a lot of control over the spanked person.	Proximity: ★★★ Control: ★★★ Pain: ★★☆
Lying over the lap of the spanker	In this position, the person sitting on the bench sits on a surface (e.g. bed or floor) and the person being stretched out horizontally lies on the lap of the person sitting on the bench.	Proximity: ★★★ Control: ★☆☆ Pain: ☆☆☆
Lying down	This position is very flexible and spanking can be done without further body contact. In contrast to the "bent over" position, it is less strenuous for the spanked person, as he or she simply lies on the surface (e.g. bed). In addition, a supporting object can be pushed under the hip of the person being stretched in order to lift the buttocks into a more exposed position.	Proximity: ☆☆☆ Control: ☆☆☆ Pain: ☆☆☆
Standing/Leaning	The pinned person stands freely or leans upright against a wall. The buttocks of the pinned person can be pushed out a little so that he can be hit better.	Proximity: ☆☆☆ Control: ☆☆☆ Pain: ★☆☆
Wheelbarrow	The person sitting sits with the face facing away from the person and spreads the legs so that one leg is on one side of the person's body and the other leg is on the other side. The person being stretched can either hold the upper part of the body in a horizontal position with his buttocks, or raise the buttocks slightly.	Proximity: ★★★ Control: ★★☆ Pain: ★★★
