In Praise of the Whip

Largier, Niklaus
In Praise of the Whip : A Cultural History of Arousal [Lob der Peitsche]
New York : Zone Books, 2007
isbn: 1-890951-65-X
'In Praise of the Whip: A Cultural History of Arousal' is a new history of voluntary flagellation in Europe, from its invention in medieval religious devotion to its use in the modern pornographic imagination. Working with a wide range of religious, literary, and medical texts and images, Niklaus Largier explores the emotional and sensual, religious and erotic excitement of the whip, a crucial instrument of stimulation in devotional and sexual practices. From early modern pornography to the Marquis de Sade and the fantasies of Swinburne and Joyce, the erotic and devotional imagination drew on the whip. Largier explores how the Reformation and Counter-Reformation problematized the medieval culture of arousal. The stimulating qualities of medieval visual displays, especially flagellant practices, processions, and spectacles, were subjected to a criticism that sought to control the imagination. In modern bourgeois life the practice, effects, and imagery of flagellation became a central site of investigation into concerns and anxieties about exercising emotional self-control and censoring fantasy.

You'll learn how to enact the five archetypal fantasies (the nursemaid, the governess, the queen, the amazon and the goddess), how to create scenarios for your own pleasure and his, and much more... everything you need to turn your male into an obedient, devoted, and very happy helpmeet!
