Twelve of the Best: Volume 44 Flogmaster Random Praise for the Flogmaster’s Writing Another good one. I always look for your new stories. D.F.J. Outstanding story that deserves immortality. K.S.L. Written with a bit of tenderness even for a caning. I enjoyed the story because of it. Nicely done once again Flogmaster. B.O. Cute. It’s not often a spanking comedy piece like this has such a great spanking description. G. I want to go camping with that girl. O.G. I’d love to play this kind of game! J.Z. Excellent. A really hot coming-of-age story. I just wish we got to witness the belt getting used on them together as well >:-) R.S.R. Selected Excerpts From A Day in Detention: He brought her up to the front and made her write lines on the blackboard. Alyse blushed and did as he asked, nervous as anything as she could see the slipper, cane, paddle, and strap on his desk. Twenty times she had to write: I will always first check in with the duty master when I attend detention. This took some time, time the teacher spent leaning back in his chair and watching her from behind, admiring the full jut of Alyse’s ass and the way the jeans spread and rounded across those twin sitters. From Good for the Mother, Good for the Daughter: Becca stared in astonishment at her nude mother. She had never seen her so cowed. Usually she was a strong bold woman, full of confidence and authority. Now she was naked, her heavy breasts dangling, the softness of her slight belly counteracted by the far bigger bulge of her buttocks. She stood at attention, arms stiffly at her sides, her chin up, eyes straight ahead. “Fetch me an implement. Something severe.” From Schadenfreude: Tears watering her pale blue eyes, Hannah reluctantly waddled to the front of the room, her face brick red. Melanie’s heart raced as she prayed for a rear view, and her wish was granted as the chubby girl was positioned with her bottom pointed right at her. The stretched panties, practically bursting across those mighty hams, were worked downward, exposing meaty rounds of milky white skin. Please be the paddle, please be the paddle, Melanie thought. A smile came over her face as the teacher took out the big board from her top drawer and approached the whimpering teen. Normally such a long board dwarfed the bottom it was applied to, but in Hannah’s case her broad hips made the slab barely adequate. “It’ll be twice eight,” growled the instructor.

About the Warning labels Because spanking stories often involve extreme topics (S&M, sex acts, etc.), the Flogmaster labels his stories to give readers an idea of what might be included. Here’s a sample: Paul Bunyan and the Great Lakes (★ ★ ★ ★ , M/Ffff—Absurdly Severe, nc ole fashion paddlin’) A strange new twist on the ole yarn about how Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox created the Great Lakes. (Approximately 1,758 words.) The stars are the Flogmaster’s own ratings of his stories. They indicate writing quality, not necessarily eroticism. Five star stories are my very best. Stories are marked with mFmf labels to indicate who is spanking whom. Capital letters represent adults and lower case are minors (under 18), and of course, M refers to males and F to females. Under this system, anything to the left of the slash indicate a Spanker and anything to the right a Spankee. Therefore in the above example an adult male is spanking three girls and a woman. If there are a lot of people involved, sometimes this is abbreviated with a number, such as F6/f24, implying that 6 women spank 24 girls. Keep in mind that the label refers to the primary participants—sometimes, especially in longer stories—there may be minor spankings of a different type included. I try to indicate the overall severity level (Mild, Serious, Intense, Severe, or Edgy), as well as what types of spankings are included (i.e. caning, birching, hairbrush spanking, etc.). Stories may also contain other warnings and explanations. These are usually self-explanatory words like “sex” or “anal” (to indicate types of sexual activity). You may also see references to cons or non-cons (or nc). Those abbreviations refer to consensual and non- consensual spankings. (Punishment spankings, especially those of children, are usually nc.) Some stories are labeled semi-cons, meaning it’s partially consensual (e.g. a reluctant wife submitting to her husband’s discipline because she knows she deserves punishment). The second line contains a brief description of the story. I try not to include any “spoilers” that would ruin the plot for you. The description should intrigue if you are interested in the subject matter, and warn you away if you are not. As always, read at your own risk. There’s also an approximate word count of the story.

Twelve of the Best: Volume 44 Flogmaster A Day in Detention ( , M/ff—Severe, non-consensual paddling, caning) A good girl ends up in detention, where she experiences corporal punishment for the first time. (Approximately 4,400 words.) Despite her school’s strict rules— and her remarkably attractive bottom—Alyse had somehow managed to avoid any form of corporal punishment. That was, until during her last year, she ended up with a Saturday detention. This was punishment for being caught off campus during school hours. Her excuse of running home for the essay she’d forgotten was considered irrelevant to the fact that she’d gone without permission. The only reason the headmaster didn’t cane her was because of her exemplary record. 11 Twelve of the Best: Volume 44 Flogmaster At the time, she thought she’d escaped, but then she learned that almost everyone who went to Saturday detention was given some sort of physical punishment. It was not looking good for Alyse’s pert bottom. Her bottom was, however, looking good, for she was told that since the detention was on a non-school day, she didn’t have to wear her uniform. This was a blessed relief and instead of the childish pleated skirt she usually wore, she was able to wear comfortable—and sexy—blue jeans. That, however, was what ruined her day.

  • Corporal Punishment of Children in Singapore
    Corporal punishment of children in Singapore: Briefing for the Universal Periodic Review, 24th session, 2016 From Dr Sharon Owen, Research and Information Coordinator, Global Initiative, [email protected] The legality and practice of corporal punishment of children violates their fundamental human rights to respect for human dignity and physical integrity and to equal protection under the law. Under international human rights law – the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other human rights instruments – states have an obligation to enact legislation to prohibit corporal punishment in all settings, including the home. In Singapore, corporal punishment of children is lawful, despite repeated recommendations to prohibit it by the Committee on the Rights of the Child and recommendations made during the 1st cycle UPR of Singapore (which the Government rejected). Law reform in 2010/2011 re-authorised corporal punishment in some settings. We hope the Working Group will note with concern the legality of corporal punishment of children in Singapore. We hope states will raise the issue during the review in 2016 and make a specific recommendation that Singapore clearly prohibit all corporal punishment of children in all settings including the home and repeal all legal defences and authorisations for the use of corporal punishment. 1 Review of Singapore in the 1st cycle UPR (2011) and progress since then 1.1 Singapore was reviewed in the first cycle of the Universal Periodic Review in 2011 (session 11). The issue of corporal punishment of children was raised in the compilation of UN information1 and in the summary of stakeholders’ information.2 The Government rejected recommendations to prohibit corporal punishment of children.3 1.2 Prohibiting and eliminating all corporal punishment of children in all settings including the home – through law reform and other measures – is a key obligation under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other human rights instruments, though it is one frequently evaded by Governments.

  • “May Cause Lasting Physical Harm” The
    “May cause lasting physical harm” The Determination stated that ‘Ariel’s Sponsored Caning’ constitutes restricted material on the basis of the following claim: “Where there is clearer sight of more ‘serious’ marking of the skin, particularly to the latter part of the video, where there is focus on injury that has been caused; the raising of the skin and the heavier marking. This constitutes material which “involves the infliction of pain or acts which may cause lasting physical harm, whether real or (in a sexual context) simulated”, which is prohibited by the BBFC in a pornographic work. “ Corporal punishment such as that depicted on Dreams of Spanking is intended to cause temporary, transient pain. If any marks are inflicted, they will heal within a reasonable timeframe, usually between a couple of days and a couple of weeks. The assumption that this sort of activity “may cause lasting harm” indicates a remarkable level of ignorance. All our performers are experienced BDSM players who know their own bodies and their own tolerances well. Usually performers prefer not to receive lasting marks on videos hoots, as most enthusiasts prefer not to play again until any marks from the previous session have fully healed. Dreams of Spanking makes it a point of principle to operate within our performers' experience and comfort zones, and full negotiation and explicit, enthusiastic consent is shown as a matter of course in our performer interviews and behind the scenes videos accompanying each of the spanking films. Let us examine Ariel Anderssen's bottom at the start and end of “Ariel's Sponsored Caning”: (click on any of the following images to open them at a high resolution in your web browser) These marks were quick to appear, and quick to disappear.

This might be fiction, but it is not far from what used to happen to me with the guitar. Although not as cute as this. L.A. Excellent. Thanks. V.R. Hot, hot story! H.W.D. Awesome story. Wish this was a real event. R.S.T. Worth reading! G. Selected Excerpts From Advanced Learning: God, she hated the cane. Its agony level was a solid ten out of ten, and even a “mere” six with the instrument was enough to make her walk funny for a couple of days. Madison still wasn’t sure why she’d been foolish enough to sign up for this “Advanced Learning” program. Sure, it was prestigious, and it would look good on her college application, but this business of being caned for every tiny fault was awful. From Casual Thursday 1: Sadly for Sam there was no reprieve or rescue. Her forbidden pants descended, leaving her plump, well-rounded bottom half- covered by thin pink panties. She leaned across the woman’s desk and slowly received a dozen sizzling blows with the school paddle. It hurt like the dickens and left her rump boiling hot and sore for the rest of the day. From Flight Delay 1: “Colin, have you seen my skirt?” she asked the man in the bed. “You’ll get it back… after your caning.” Kim’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t like the sound of this.

  • Can the Caning Punishment Execution in Aceh Meet Its Objective?
    Mazahib, Vol 19, No.1 (June 2020), Pp. 41-78 http://doi.org/10.21093/mj.v19i1.2055 https://journal.iain-samarinda.ac.id/index.php/mazahib/index P-ISSN: 1829-9067 | E-ISSN: 2460-6588 DETERRING OR ENTERTAINING? Can the Caning Punishment Execution in Aceh Meet its Objective? Faradilla Fadlia1, Ismar Ramadani2, Novi Susilawati3, Novita Sari4 1 Universitas Syiah Kuala ([email protected]); 2 Universitas Almuslim Bireuen ([email protected]); 3 Universitas Syiah Kuala ([email protected]); 4Universitas Syiah Kuala ([email protected]) Abstract This article probes whether the implementation of the caning sentence in Aceh may reach its objective of deterrent effect given the way the execution conducted. From the field observation, the flogging was not much different from entertainment. The mass gathered in one place to watch the execution; they include children, street vendors, researchers, and journalists. There was a stage, VIP seats for guests, loudspeakers, administrative arrangements, and the caning punishment procession. Using a qualitative research approach with an in-depth interview method, it seeks to understand how the community involved in the caning execution was and how the government was designed the sentence as such and why. It finds that while the government saw the caning law as the implementation of Islamic sharia in Aceh, the people perceived its execution more as entertainment. The government has used the caning sentence execution as a demonstration of power, often for a political gain, because it emphasizes its presence not only as of the guardian of shari’a for Acehnese but also as a devout politician who keeps his political promises.

  • Punishment in Friends' Schools, 1779-1900 by W
    Punishment in Friends' Schools, 1779-1900 By W. A. CAMPBELL STEWART, Ph.D. A CKWORTH was founded when the negative doctrines f Quietism had strong influence. If adults had to regulate their lives to the Quaker pattern, how much more severe was the control of children who were susceptible, as Friends thought, to all the wayward gusts of evil. They were placed in a " guarded " community, shown the Quaker pattern of life and taught subjection of own-will. One of the results was a record of punishment during the first half-century covered by this survey which is at times astonishing in a body which was responsible for so many humanitarian reforms. One of the main reasons for the establishment and prolongation of severity in Quaker schools was that Ackworth, the Yearly Meeting school, was at first a pattern and example to Sidcot, Islington, and Wigton. Its rules, drawn up in 1779, were adopted almost completely by the schools for children of those disowned, founded in the 'thirties and 'forties. Ackworth was founded for the children of those not in affluence, and life was, at first, so dull that mischief and disorder were common. With no organized free-time pursuits and a limited school curriculum of reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic, with no freedom to leave the estate and no real comfort in the building, the children, hungry as they often were, became unruly. Until 1809, there was one fire in schoolrooms with stone floors fifty feet by twenty feet. The Meeting House, in which three lengthy Meetings were held each week, had also a stone floor, and had no heating at all until 1820.

But today we hear about events that were much more recent. For it was in the 1970s that the use of the birch in the Isle of Man became one of the stories of the decade. In England, Scotland and Wales judicial corporal punishment was abolished in 1948, and it ended in Northern Ireland in 1968. In the book entitled, ‘Against Birching,’ by the late Angela Kneale, there are, recorded, over 120 examples of the use of the birch or cane between 1952 and 1972. And 1972 was the crucial year which marked the beginning of the end of the practice.

  • Corporal Punishment and the Legal System
    CORPORAL PUNISHMENT AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM Judge Leonard P. Edwards* Withhold not correction from the child; for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.1 Conservative estimates indicate that almost 2,000 infants and young children die from abuse or neglect by parents or caretakers each year, or 5 children every day. The vast majority are under 4 years, an age when they are most vul- nerable to physical attacks and to the dangers created by lack of supervision and severe neglect, and are isolated from teachers or others who might intervene to protect them. Violence towards very young children has reached the level of a public health crisis and is similar in scope to the destruction of teenagers by street gunfire.2 I. INTRODUCTION Corporal punishment is the intentional infliction of phys- ical force by a parent or parent figure upon a child with the purpose of correcting the child's behavior.3 While it could be argued that corporal punishment is a battery,4 and therefore * Superior Court Judge, Santa Clara County, California; B.A. 1963, Wes- leyan University; J.D. 1966, University of Chicago Law School.

  • Teachers' Perceptions of the Abolition of Caning in Ghanaian Schools
    Issues in Educational Research, 30(1), 2020 379 Teachers’ perceptions of the abolition of caning in Ghanaian schools Douglas Yeboah University of Cape Coast, Ghana This study surveyed teachers’ perceptions of corporal punishment and the ban on caning in basic and high school sectors of Ghana’s education system. It also investigated whether there were gender differences in teachers’ views about the ban on caning in Ghanaian schools. Data were collected using a five point Likert-style questionnaire administered online to a convenience sample of teachers (N=60) in public basic and senior high schools. The convenience sampling technique was used. Responses were coded and analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The results revealed that most teachers disagreed with the abolition of caning in Ghanaian schools, and there was no statistically significant difference between the views of male and female teachers. Recommendations about corporal punishment are made with reference to in-service professional development, curriculum development for pre- service teachers, and priorities for further research. Introduction Ghana was one of very many countries that had incorporated corporal punishment in their educational practices, as a form of disciplinary and corrective procedure. Of the numerous forms of corporal punishment, caning had been popular in Ghanaian public and private basic and senior high schools, as a quick to administer form of punishment. In the Ghanaian context, caning was a form of corporal punishment that involved using a piece of stick, ruler or the like to hit any part of another person’s body, either once or a number of times, with the purpose of causing pain to that person, for minor or serious offenses committed.
