You want to take a lot of pain and take a certain amount of strokes. But when you start getting hit, you no longer think you can do it.
I will take the same amount of strokes that you need to take. You may feel like you can take no more, but will you really give up before I do?
I will help ensure you can take 50 strokes because I will take the same amount as you.
And if you or I give in before the other a punishment awaits.
