How hot do you like it ? Another question from Amber

[spanked~amber]

I figured I was entitled to a few actually, since I haven't asked any in awhile.

For Bottoms/Spankees : Well after a spanking, do you enjoy the after feel, perhaps a little soreness or sting as much as how it feels during the spanking & does light marking make you happy or grumpy ?

For Tops/Spankers : Do you prefer applying a faint pink, red, or deep red shade to a bottom ? Should the bottom be allowed to rub or not after an "earned" spanking ?
