Birching Among The Mendicant Monks

birching detail

The above birching scene is a detail from the full plate, found here and reproduced below. The caption tells you all I know: “A school of mendicant monks: a birching (fifteenth century.)” Social context? I do not haz it.

The Smack Of Leather

Who is in trouble now? Is it you? How much trouble are you in? This much? Oh, my!

OTK Is Awesome

Here’s blogger Charlie J. Forrest on why over-the-knee spankings are awesome, a point on which I shall not dispute him one jot, tittle, iota, or word:

The over-the knee position it at once intensely intimate and powerfully objectifying. You can feel the weight of the subject pressing against you, their buttocks neatly presented for attention. Yet at the same time their face is forced away from you. Still close enough to hear every noise, but unable to look at you without craning the neck. This is powerful stuff but is generally sugar-coating to the real benefits. First is that it’s a relatively awkward position, not massively uncomfortable, but one in which control can be maintained with little more than a firm elbow in the small fo the back. But the key element that really marks this position out on a pragmatic level is the sheer immediacy of it; the ability to feel the effect every blow has on your partner.

This is a big plus because it offers a tremendous amount of easy control over the pain inflicted. Whereas things like stress positions and torture ties are great fun, there is also great skill involved, whereas over the knee it’s somehow simpler and more focused. you are never in any doubt whether the discomfort is intentional or not, because it is, every. single. strike.

Terribad Maid Position

It looked like a perfectly reasonable live-in cleaning and light-cooking maid job when she took it, but it’s been all downhill ever since. The boss is a whip-happy sadistic bachelor sex maniac, the living conditions are hellish, and it’s been at least a week since she’s seen her clothing:
