ebay find

I use ebay and often search for anything related to spanking to see what comes up. Sometimes nothing of interest. Other times spanking pictures or humour ones.

On my last search this French c1910 picture postcard came up. 

What do you think the story behind it would be?

Have a fun weekend.

Sexting

Those naughty French, eh? 

France's new premier is apparently into sexting and not averse to spanking either according to the International Business Times. Apparently he accidentally sexted a female minister while in a meeting, the message was meant for his wife Veronique, whom he divorced some while back but then remarried. 
Presumably they were missing the spankings.

What could she possibly be wanting?

I'll leave it to you to guess what this French woman could possibly be wanting her husband to do.

Made me smile.

Have a fun weekend.

Sorry not sure where the photos came from had them in my file for a while. Please let me know if they belong to you.

Spanking Humour

Now you didn't think I'd go away without leaving you any pictures to look at.

My scheduling doesn't always work so I'll be keeping fingers crossed.

I do wish I'd paid more attention in my French classes then I would have been able to translate.

Photos from Discipline Discipline

More Spankez-vous Francais (Cruel Ladies)

I'ts been a while since I shared some of the photos from my book "Jeux De Dames Cruelles."

The book is full of delightful black and white spanking photos and a few accounts from back as far as 1850 so as I said quality isn't always great.

1904

One of the pictures in the book is apparently the oldest among the known whipping pictures dating back to 1853.

1905

1935

1930

1932

1905

A rare 1850 photo (no spanking)

For those who haven't seen any of the other photos you can view them here and here.

Have a great weekend.

More from the delightful book - 'Jeux De Dames Cruelles'

Photographs from 1850 - 1960

1930's

This picture is one of only two that show men. Of course these pictures were taken by male photographers and were initially intended only for men.

1850

The texts are in French and German. Maybe one of our friends could help us out and translate this little piece of French and I can post the translation for us all to read.

Our good friend Chross has translated the German text for us. Thank you.

Female sadomasochism and Photography

"Jeaux de dames cruelles" deals with sadomasochism among women as it appears in the already long history of photography. But let's not forget, those pictures were taken by male photographers and were primarily targeted at a male audience. It's not surprising that this topic had been illustrated from the very beginning of photography since it - in a mild form - is part of a passion that - as Georges Bataille discovered - stands at the center of our lives. After Daguerre had made his discovery public, it at first took a century of progress on the field of this totally new art form until photographers could accomplish depictions of real people without problems. The earliest sadomasochistic pictures are extremely rare; and the spanking depicting daguerreoo-model (Remark: difficult to translate and hardly making sense in German, too...) which certainly happened, has yet to be re-discovered. The strict morals explain the rarity of such pictures which - sold only underhand - were hard to market. On the other hand certainly many of these picture have been destroyed, partly due to shame, partly due to negligence.

Hope you have a good weekend.

Cruel Ladies

Some text and more pics from the book 'Jeux de Dames Cruelles' see post Spankez-vous francais

The text in the book is in French and German, P has done the best he can to get the meaning, but if anyone reads French feel free to click and have a read. I think there should be some English pages too but they're missing, probably why I got it cheap :)

This page refers in part to Catherine de Medici (1519-1589) who apparently took pleasure whipping the ladies of her court, she made the most beautiful of her ladies and servants strip and took delight in their demeanour, then spanked them on their backsides with her hand, it gave her satisfaction to see them writhing and making movements. There are more pages but no actual text to give stories to the individual pictures.

A few more pics here anyway, click any of them to see them better, sorry about the quality.

Ah a man involved but it looks like he's comforting (or ravishing) the girl while another wields the birch.

Looks like it's taken from a genuine schoolroom of the day with two naughty girls getting punished

Just three girls having fun
