Synopsis

A shocking window into secret pleasures and social rituals around flagellation. This edition gathers firsthand‑style anecdotes and scenes that reveal how some women explored whipping as a private, and sometimes public, pastime. The material presents vivid portraits of salons, country houses, and Parisian settings, showing how these acts were discussed, enjoyed, or observed.

The text offers a portrait of a world where discipline, power, and pleasure mingle in unexpected ways. It situates these accounts within social circles, with references to hosts, guests, schools, and influential figures, all described with a candid, often sensational, tone. Readers should expect provocative, explicit detail as part of a broader historical exploration of intimate customs and gendered dynamics.

• Explicit anecdotes about whipping as a form of entertainment and control within private and social settings.


• Character sketches of hostesses, mistresses, and educators who organize or participate in these rituals.


• Historical glimpses of rooms, costumes, schools, and ceremonies tied to these private practices.


• Conversations and confessions that illuminate attitudes toward sexuality, power, and social propriety.

Ideal for readers drawn to unusual social histories, late‑eighteenth and early nineteenth‑century anecdotes, and explorations of private pleasures and public perception.
