John is accepted at university after being recommended by his Aunt Kate, who works there as a Professor of Psychology. She is happy for him to stay with her during term time, but he has to obey her rules... and he quickly learns there are consequences to getting on the wrong side of his aunt. Having never been spanked in his life, living with his aunt's discipline is quite a culture shock for Jon. He is a capable, but lazy boy, and he is grateful for all the help and mentoring Kate gives him, but when he messes up - which he often does - he pays the price on his bare bottom.

Divorcee Kate is only too pleased to use the arsenal of implements she bought during her marriage, and Jon samples the cane, strap, hairbrush, ruler and tawse, as well as his aunt's iron-hard hand. He learns that laziness, disobedience and unacceptable behaviour results in a humiliating and motivational pants down session, which makes sitting very uncomfortable! Still, the regime works as Jon turns over a new leaf and manages to get A grades in his end of year exams.
