Giving a medium spanking, yes. My SB likes it very hard, and I have not been able to reach her limit yet. I prefer a bare hand or a strap/belt (her fave - she likes thuddy not stingy). But whereas she likes it hard, I like to mix things up, hard and soft, quick and slow, hold off when she's expecting a spank, maybe just rub her ass or thighs. Suddenly spank hard and hear that slight gasp and intake of breath. A spreader bar to keep her ankles apart and/or her arms tied out in front or across her back. Her soft white inner thighs also love the same treatment, so a spank to the ass followed by one to her thighs always gets her going.
And of course a finger or two to really check how much she's enjoying it. But most of all a tongue gently, but deeply probing her pussy and ass always meets with sighs of approval.
