Link To Flogged On the March: Part 3



I have posted the third of a four part series at Whippingdudes.iteratus.net.  It is called Flogged on the March.  I hope you enjoy it.  It is part 3 of 4 of a short work of fiction.  Please let me know what you think about the imagery contained and the writing style used.  You can post your comments here or on the article.

I decided to post it over there because it is truly original content, and I want to get a community to form at that site.  I am not about to take the Blogspot site down because it is actually easier to find because we are listed in their blog directory.

  1. Excellent. Really like the use of well-knotted cat-o'-nine-tails and laying on with right and left cats and especially the order to slow the rythymn of the flogging to draw out the punishment. Flogging should be savoured, each and every searing lash of those hissing, knotted cats o' nines on bare backs. Lay well on!

  2. Not sure about some of the detail - gagged with socks?? But like the brutality of it. Because a real army flogging would have been brutal both to punish the offender and act as a deterrent. Its not about humilation or sex its about pain and punishment. Very few guys could take the real thing stoicly and for some guys thats why it would be a challenge.

    1. I know the use of the socks was unconventional, but I wanted to highlight the humiliation and helplessness of the prisoner--and the obedience to authority of the men flogging him. And I wanted to do all of that in a very short space.

    2. Sorry I reread my earlier comment about socks and it looks critical in a way that was not intended! It was just a bit... unusual! But more seriously, a lot of guys 'into' flogging seem a bit squeemish about just how nasty is would have been for real when punishments were in the 100s, so interesting you've got no problem with that.

    3. Flogging has always been used a means of oppression. I think it is important to remember that. The vast majority of people who have ever been whipped as punishment didn't take it willingly or stoically. While we may find it fascinating to dream of those times--and even to advocate a partial return to the practice--we need to remember that soldiers, sailors, felons, slaves, etc were often driven to the next battle, port, or field with the the threat of brutal lashes. Fear of the pain--and in the case of brave soldiers and sailors, the humiliation of being broken down into screaming in front of their peers--is what kept men in line.

      Officers who had never had the threat of flogging hanging over them were zealous in their application of the lash to other men's backs. Many of us have a desire to go back and be voyeurs to this form of punishment--as evidenced by videos that emphasize flogging mostly underground and hard to find). I am very glad that so many here are also interested in experiencing what it was like to be the prisoner, and have the fortitude to expose their backs to the lash.

    4. Officers, at least in the Navy, who ordered up the lash, did have their taste of corporal punishment as midshipman who were regularily caned on their bare buttocks for many infractions. I am not sure if that made them less apt to send their men to the gratings for Punishment or to indoctinate them into a world of stripes, cuts and weals inflicted on bared bodies with cats and canes and the need for
      harsh discipline enforced by severe floggings.

      It must have been great to have been a captain back then with the absolute power to inflict the lash, having the gratings rigged for Punishment, order up "awards" of two, four or six dozens at will and have men bare their brawny backs for the cats and see that they are well laid on to cut the needed stripes of Discipline.

    6. Thanks, Lashem. I am sorry that I haven't posted anything recently. I am working on a couple of pieces, but they just aren't up to my satisfaction. I will dedicate some time to one of them in the coming days and get something new posted ASAP!

    7. ...or perhaps you need to be ordered to strip to the waist and stand at the halberds voluntarily to receive a 100 stripes on your naked flesh......laid on by two whipmasters........

    8. The hard masculine body needs hard harsh lashing. As discipline, will and manhood toughening, and punishment. Fortitude under the whip, physical courage under the assault that hardens body and mind is real virility.

  3. Severity is essential in corporal punishment both in the unstinting award of lashes (250-500 lashes on your bare back with the cats would be typical for many offenses and well-earned) and in the manner of "laying on" and seeing that the regimental cats were especially well-strung tight, generously knotted with nine knots per tail and the ends of the tails sewen so they didn't unravel and lose their "bite". Hunky young drummer boys, stripped to their waists, to well lay on from both sides.
