Researching historical scenes II.


Sailors, soldiers, children and prisoners were still being whippedup to half of the twentieth century.

  1. Sadistic whipping historical documents are an ideal subject matter for modern day re-enactments of floggings!!! iwhipmen@gmail.com

  2. Although there may (unfortunately) no longer be a public pillory on the marketplaces in the western world 🙁, that does not mean that the whipping, chastising and rape of subordinates has disappeared. It is just no longer so clearly visible 👁 in everyday life. Whether in prisons, in the military, in schools or within the family, sexual and physical violence is practiced everywhere ⛓. Also today, also now, also in the apartment next door. That's how people are.

    1. You're right, even here at home, whips often sing on my back weekly. Splashing my blood down the walls of the room...
