Bare hand? I've gotten the belt on the bare ass about two dozen separate occasions, with about 5-10 strikes per whoopin'; now that I'm a functioning adult member of society I can say with ease that all incidents were justified.
EDIT: Just to clarify I was out of fucking control, age 12 I had under my belt;
Arson
Breaking & Entering
Theft under $5000
Possession of a deadly weapon
Various forms of criminal mischief and vandalism.
And it only got worse as I went through my teens, I smartened up at around 20, my father never gave up on me and now that I'm 29, I have a decent house / mortgage, nice new truck, good paying job with pension and benefits and a healthy relationship with my old man.
Though it's true that after I'd get a whooping I'd just try harder not to get caught next time, so it's hard to say if it worked as a punishment, but I do know one thing, grounding didn't work and if they(my parents) had done nothing I'd likely be in jail right now.

I wasn't a bad kid. Little unruly, but I never had any desire to hurt people or destroy things that didn't have it coming. Plus, my dad was a blacksmith, it was his hobby. He'd been doing it for years by the time I was born. Working an anvil and forge will give you powerful arms and big, strong hands, but also a surprising degree of control. He never spanked any harder than he had to to get the point across. I think I remember him mentioning that his dad had always used switches, belts, and paddles, and didn't have much in the way of self control when it came to punishment. I can understand dad's reasoning, and once I grew past the point of needing spankings, I never really grudged him for it.
