I l~............,.~ ~...,..AW"AIIIJ . INTRODUCTION TO THE 1991 REPRINT HE HISTORY OF A Guide to the Correction of.Young Gentlemen is a tale of survival by purest chance against all the odds. Few books can have had T such an unpromising start in life. First produced, if not precisely published, in 1924-in a private edition limited to 100 copies, dark green morocco bindings with over thirty hand-drawn illustrations-c-not a single copy had been sold or distributed to customers before the entire consignment, togeth­ er with much else, was seized by police in a raid on the privately-owned printing works belonging to eccentric dilettante publisher Gerald Percival Hamer. T his was situated in the converted stables of a manor house in Etchingham, East Sussex, the estate belonging to Hamer and inherited by him from his father. The raid, which appears to have been based on "information received", took place on October 5th, 1924, and succeeded in netting, in addition to all 100 copies of A Guide to the Correction of .Young Gentlemen (plus the printer's proofs and all plates), several thousand other "forbidden" volumes, including part of the stock of the recently deceased Charles Carrington, erotic publisher of Paris, with whom the Guide appears to hold no other connection. It is certainly the type of volume he would have been delighted to publish, but Carrington died in 1922 and it cannot have been written before 1923 at the earliest, for reasons to be explained shortly. Following the judgement-and the sentences-the Court ordered all the erotic material seized from Hamer's house to be burned; and this, so far as is known, was done . In this auto-da-fi of the self-righteous-e-sc typical of its era­ much perished that is irreclaimable, including the Guide, singled out for particular opprobrium by the judge" in his summing-up, which was reported at considerable length in the newspapers. So ferocious were his remarks that it was commonly believed that the prisoners received, between them, an extra five .years' prison because of this one item of evidence. Yet, as the reader will discover for him- or herself, there is nothing that could be called strictly obscene within the pages of this small volume. Forbidden * According to evidence given at the trial of Hamer and N orris. ** MrJustic e Ti cehurst, later Lord Justi ce Woodhelves (d. 1940). AGUIDE TO THE CORRECfION OF YOUNG GENTLEMEN words and gross terminology-that is, the usual sorts of gross terminology-are conspicuous only by their absence. It is written in a serious tone, and with a fair style; and nominally appears to treat upon a subject about which the public has always had a curious, prurient and hypocritical fascination: the corporal punish­ ment of juveniles, specifically boys. On the face of it, A Guide to the Correction of YOung Gentlemen is a manual designed to assist women to terrorise and oppress any immature males under their jurisdiction-it is nothing more or less than a Corporal Punishment Cookbook, not the first of this genre but possibly the most single-minded ever composed, and if its apparent purpose were to be taken at face value, sufh would indeed be a moral crime deserving strong censure, ifno worse. Today we take it as read that to beat children "for their own good" is probably harmful, and may even be wicked; and all the signs are that one day soon it may even become ille­ gal, as it already has in Sweden. The Publishers do not wish to enter the lists of this argument upon either side; what cannot be disputed is that Flagellationism exists, as a long-known and well -defined sphere of sexual activity; and that throughout most of its documented history it has drawn its imagery almost exclusively-Sacher-Masoch apart-from childhood?". Today, the most visibly practised form of what may more broadly be termed Disciplinism is more strongly drawn from other sources, not particularly (at least, not prominently) juvenile: a blend of Uncle 'Tom's Cabin, equestrianism and The Rocky HorrorShow, as much fashion as fetish, and, overall, strongly American in tone. But until quite recently, certainly for British people, it was otherwise (and may well still be the case). T he Mother Country version of the Discipline e uure is resonant with memories from school and home: the swishy cane, the maternal slipper, the smell of chalk-dust and fear, bending over, bare bottoms, and so on. Historically-and until very recently-the lives of British children have been so saturated with the culture of corporal punishment, that in this country at least such an image-set is not only·understandable, it is, or was, inevitable. In such a culture-which perhaps reached its apogee between 1850 and, say, 1939-it is, we suppose, just possible that an obsessive and grotesquely naive personality might conceive that a manual for would-be boy-floggers would be a serious contribution to the canon ofpedagogical knowledge. Even a cursory reading of this book will make it clear that the Guide-wee actually-and even archly-written with no such end in view. It is certainly a manual instructing in the philosophies and techniques of corporal punishment, but the intended "subjects" of the treatment are quite obviously adult males: *** WithJean-Jacques Rousseau 's being th e most well-known instance. Apropos, Sigmun d Freud 's most famous essay on the pathology (in his view) of this partiality is tided A Childisbeing beaten. II INTRODUcrION TO THE 1991 REPRINT clients of those professional ladies who were in business centuries ago (as Cleland's Fanny Hill autheticates), are today known as Dominatrices, and who administer, in exchange for currency of the realm in moderately large quantities, short-term disciplinary regimes of similar (if less refined and attenuated) sorts as those commended and described within the Guide. A code has been employed­ but an obvious one. The author makes it explicitly clear, over and over again-particularly in Chapter Two-who are .the real subjects of the disserta­ tion: it simply cannot be mistaken. That said, for some reason the defence lawyers in the trial failed to bring most of the key exculpatory passages to the attention of the Court; and with the clear conviction of the Judge that the Guide was what it said it was-and his subsequent strong direction along these lines to the jurymen-it all went badly for the defendants. Particularly harmful were the illustrations: simple, even naive, many (though not all) of them bear the hallmarks of Hamer's various known styles (though he denied their authorship), but what proved especially damning was that they depicted juvenile males in the various humiliating or flag­ ellationary situations. In a prominent place at the end of the Foreword, the author makes it clear that this is purely to serve the underlying child-based imagery which lies at the core of much of the Flagellant fantasy-and not because children are the intended targets or victims. But the Judge chose to disbelieve, and so directed the jury. Hamer was convicted on all the specimen charges against him, and was sentenced to a total of eleven years' penal servitude (he was released after seven years and died in 1937). James Henry Norris, a general dealer, of Hendon, was convicted of two charges of knowingly offering for sale indecent or obscene material (under the 1899 Act), and was awarded three years' prison. That dealt with the illustrator, publisher, printer, binder, warehouseman and distributor (Hamer was all of these), and an unfortunate trader in erotica who happened to be present at the time of the raid and who otherwise might not have been apprehended at all. However the author of A Guide to the Correction of Thung Gentlemen was never brought to trial. He-it was assumed the authorship was male-was never identified; and not too vigorously pursued. Already the police had a cast-iron case, the prosecution went splendidly, and the chief defendant, the wretched Hamer, received an exemplary sentence. It was a satisfactory ending, from the point of view of Authority. ATTHETIME Hamer and Norris were standing in the dock, the author and origi­ nator of A Guide to the Correction of Thung Gentlemen was already in jail: in Holloway Prison for women, to be specific, serving a sentence of four years for a III A GUIDE TO THE CORRECTION OF YOUNG GENTLEMEN string of public-morality convictions.

    [Wednesday, 13 August 2003] 9825 the THC in Marijuana and The

    [Wednesday, 13 August 2003] 9825 The THC in marijuana and the brain’s endogenous cannabinoids work in much the same way, but THC is far stronger and more persistent than anandamide, which, like most neurotransmitters, is designed to break down very soon after its release. (Chocolate, of all things, seems to slow this process, which might account for its own subtle mood-altering properties.) What this suggests is that smoking marijuana may overstimulate the brain’s built-in forgetting faculty, exaggerating its normal operations. This is no small thing. Indeed, I would venture that, more than any other single quality, it is the relentless moment-by-moment forgetting, this draining of the pool of sense impressions almost as quickly as it fills, that gives the experience of consciousness under marijuana its peculiar texture. It helps account for the sharpening of sensory perceptions, for the aura of profundity in which cannabis bathes the most ordinary insights, and, perhaps most important of all, for the sense that time has slowed and even stopped. On the previous page, the book states - ‘If we could hear the squirrel’s heartbeat, the sound of the grass growing, we should die of that roar,’ George Eliot once wrote. Our mental health depends on a mechanism for editing the moment-by-moment ocean of sensory data flowing into our consciousness down to a manageable trickle of the noticed and remembered. The cannabinoid network appears to be part of that mechanism, vigilantly sifting the vast chaff of sense impressions from the kernels of perception we need to remember if we’re to get through the day and get done what needs to be done.

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.

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.

As always, a quite original approach. Intense. Y.A.T. Loved the alternative endings. I think #1 was appropriate!! M.S.F. Awesome! Been thinking about this story for days…. Very power-full. Thank you! T.S.P. Well, cruel, sexist and brutal - I loved it. But if it hadn’t been for the twist I’m not certain this would have passed through the camel’s eye. A nice and different story though, a nymph among pigs. Damn, that’s some good money she is making. Now if she is a spanko it would be an amazing win-win situation.

Johnson could see secrets between her legs, because with her legs dangling, the girl couldn’t easily keep her thighs together. Once he began cutting into her rump with the thin stick the problem grew even worse, as the Blond One writhed and kicked and squirmed, forgetting her modesty completely.

Collisions between normative systems involve a wide range of substantive matters, and the resolution of these disputes has generated a vast, new, multicultural jurisprudence.1 Many cultural conflicts are related to children as there are widely divergent child-rearing practices across the globe.2 One of the classic examples of cultural conflict is the use of physical force to socialize children.3 In this article I focus on the jurisprudence concerning the use of corporal punishment by immigrant parents, which Anglo American courts often deem to be excessive.4 In this article I offer an exploration of the reasons why parents consider it appropriate to impose this type of punishment and the Copyright © 2010 by Alison Dundes Renteln.
