But to see a representation of an agreeable young lady having her petticoats pulled up, and her pretty pouting Backside laid bare, and seeming to feel the tingling stripes of a Rod, is amusing enough. Nakedness must always in these matters be partial, to give the highest degree of satisfaction." (c. 1785) |

Spanking and BDSM Related Quotations
Here is a compilation of quotes obtained from a variety of sources, gathered during the course of other research. There is no reason to doubt the veracity of what follows, however, the context may be open to question. We can consider this to be 'artistic interpretation' though, can't we? All contributions welcome!
So, beginning with my absolute favourite.........
.....and here's another thing:
- An Australian aboriginal tribe have four sexes instead of the usual two: male, female, neutral and....... edible!
- Up until 1885 the age of consent was theoretically 12 but in practice 10. And puberty arrived on average at 18.......
- In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
- In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (Makes you hope you never need surgery!)
- Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers; the sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times. (A brick??)
- The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Whoa!)
- There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time...Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)
- In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's lover, on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah! Justice!)
- Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)
- In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the thought.)
- In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. (This was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)
- In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only "in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises." (Is this a great country or what? ... Not as great as Guam, though!!)
