Gregory Bonner on More Spanking and Corner Time.A mother's comeuppance and the spanking stepfather.Real life adult daughters still spanked.On spanking and Victorian household management.It features stories, anecdotes and observations by DJB and others. This blog aims to explore themes of erotic discipline, female submission and spanking. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Nothing here should be interpreted as advocating any non-consensual spanking activity or the spanking of minors.Īll characters appearing in short stories on this blog are fictitious. Spanking and other sexual activities represented here are intended for adults. So be advised the Victorians are not yet safely dead and all of you who have an interest here are apparently insane. Would they have made so glib a statement if Mr Beeton had been gay. It is odd that in a so-called enlightened age the sexuality of a whole section of society has to be explained away as an illness. Words put into her mouth by the 21st century playwright. Now had this been merely a reporting of a Victorian view than it would have been understandable, but this analysis was delivered by the dead Mrs Beeton describing her husband’s life after hers. However it was entirely attributed to insanity brought on by his syphilis. In the afore mentioned play Mr Beeton’s fascination with flagellation was touched upon. This brings us to the point of this post.

Here is a taste of the kind of thing reported: Although to be fair to his detractors, he did eventually pull the flagellation strand from his magazine, sensing perhaps that he had allowed it go too far. Perhaps that is why he was drawn to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. It is clear that Mr Beeton had a prurient interest in all things spanking. Indeed, so graphic did some of the articles and letters become that even today the respectable magazine is often denounced as “to contain barely disguised episodes of sadomasochistic fantasy in the form of lengthy descriptions and discussions of whipping.” Some of which has been discussed on the Voice before. The EDM, although considered a wholesome family magazine of the time, did feature extensive accounts and suggestions on the discipline of young women. Her husband and publisher, Samuel Orchart Beeton, was the first UK publisher of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and perhaps of more interest to readers here The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine.
