Flagellation Brothels: Georgian Spanking Houses
Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society
Evolution of 18th-Century Pornography Themes and Influence of French Literature in Britain
The chapter delves into the evolution of themes in 18th-century pornography, from anti-clerical satires inspired by French works like Histoire de Dombe to British preferences for incest and flagellation. It explores the progression from mutual masturbation to more explicit acts like penetrative sex, orgies, and flogging, while touching on the forbidden topic of homosexuality in early editions. The discussion also covers the historical context of flagellation activities in Georgian times, the influence of Victorian society on fetish interests, and the enduring interest in flagellation themes evidenced through reprints and modern adaptations in popular culture.
