The story of spanking

The first scenes were found in an Etruscan necropolis from the 18th century. VI, BC, during the Victorian era in conservative Europe. The practice is also illustrated in several pornographic books from that time, such as: Nudes By Koetzle, The Whippingham Papers, The Birchen Bouquet, Exhibition of Female Flagellants.

Some celebrities were adept too: theater critic Kenneth Tynan, writer John Mortimer, TV presenter Frank Bough, poet Algernon Charles Swinburne, even French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. 

"Who would have believed that this childhood discipline, received at the age of eight, at the hands of a thirty-year-old woman, should influence my propensities, my desires, my passions, for the rest of my life... Falling at the feet of an imperious lover, obeying to his commandments or to beg forgiveness were for me the most exquisite pleasures…” (Book “Confessions” by Jean-Jacques Rousseau).

The housekeeper Theresa Berkley was an English mistress who died in 1836, specializing in the art of psychological and physical punishment. For 49 years she ran a luxury brothel and invented the “Berkley Horse”, an instrument to consensually torture women and men who had power and lots of money.
