Spanking implements - Hairbrush
A hairbrush is a brush used in hair care for brushing, tidying, and detangling human hair or a domestic animal’s fur.
It is typically used on longer hair, while a comb is normally used on shorter hair, but can be still used for short hair. For an equine’s thougher hair, a curry-comb is used.
Like stroking or licking fur in nature, the gesture on another person (or a pet treated like one) is often perceived as a mark of affection and/or a bonding experience, which can have a soothing effect, e.g. a cat thus groomed often starts purring.
Being conveniently shaped like some small paddles, it is sometimes used as a spanking implement, especially in the United States, applying the hard backside (usually made of ebony or hardwood) to the often bared buttocks of the naughty child, generally at home, either over the lap or a knee or just standing or bending over; similarly popular posterior discipline with an innocently looking object in the Commonwealth is a so-called slippering (also elsewhere, especially in schools) with footwear. It is not used anymore, though it was common in the yesteryears.
As a popular implement for erotic spanking, a hairbrush is a pervertible.
