There are many spanking sites that proclaim that they don't condone corporal punishment of minors, use of minors for sexual purposes and so on - I wholeheartedly agree with those statements. I have seen some that say they don't condone any non-consensual use of corporal punishment - where it's motivated by sexual stimulation I would agree again but would I oppose any use of corporal punishment in a non-consensual way -perhaps judicial caning for example?
I feel I have to address the issue as a couple of people have emailed me directly about some recent posts I made on here about the use of caning in Malaysia. One objected very strongly to me featuring real young women named - and in one case pictured - who may face a judicial caning for breaching religious based laws, and saying that it was wrong to put forward such cases when some people looking at the site would probably find the stories sexually arousing.
Okay, so here goes. Do I think it's okay for people to find the stories arousing? I can't say that I found them that way, or really thought about them that way. However, much of our play fantasy is based - however loosely - around real punishments, maybe in the past. I'm not sure if any adult spanking website would have the nerve to do a fantasy around a Muslim woman being caned under Sharia law - I suspect the outcry would be greater and potentially more endangering than the outcry we have seen in the past about Nazi style scenes. However, what people may choose to do in the private fantasy enactments could be quite different - many people quest for new ideas for scenarios for play. I wouldn't be averse to such a role play.
The second article makes it very clear that these are not meant to be barbaric or likely to seriously injure, unlike the other sorts of canings carried out in that part of the world. Hence I don't think publishing the articles and the photo of the one young lady already sentenced to be caned is showing anything that is especially violent or nasty - in fact the second article makes the point that such punishments are more to do with humiliating than harming.
Do I think consuming alcohol should warrant such a punishment? Well, if a country decided to make it illegal for everyone then I don't see that as being unreasonable. I don't like the idea that because someone has a particular religion they are treated differently to those of other religions in the same country - religion, to me, is about a choice you make rather than an accident of birth. If the young lady felt that she wanted to be of that faith and that she deserved some punishment for infringing the rules of that faith that would be one thing, but not as an automatic given just because of her parents backgrounds.
One thing this has done for me is to make me wonder what offences I would like to see this sort of "somewhat painful but more humiliating" judicial corporal punishment to be used for. The first one I've come up with is using a handheld mobile phone while driving. It makes the journey through commuter traffic to work that much more interesting to spot young ladies breaking the law that way and speculating that under my new law they could be caned for doing so. And wouldn't that make for an interesting safety advert campaign?

As long you volunteer to cane the backsides of overweight, sweaty businessmen & builders who are just as bad with their mobile usage !!!
Nice post. Best Regards! XD
With what I'm offering to pay to take care of some of the younger female offenders I'm sure they'll be able to afford someone to take care of the builders!
I have always believed that if any female breaks a law in any country. That country has a right to corporal discipline you. So if the Islamic world believes that a women has broken one of its laws, they have a right to punish them. So a good caning on a naughty woman's bare bottom in that country is most appropriate.
James, I abhor barbaric Judicial State canings. I am a human rights watcher, advocate & data observer (spare time). However I was raised (60s/70s) with stern, loving bare bottom canings from mother....which as a 67 year-old Southern belle I sure approve of ! They are harmless, normal & necessary for raising daughters !
1. A lady writes in Janus Letters:
"My father has always been very strict, n his attitude to the manners and behaviour of his daughters.
"Right my girl, we will have to see what your
father says about all this when he
comes home."
When father arrived home he listened to my mother's catalogue
....he picked me up and put me over his knee. With his free hand he pulled down my knickers and administered a rapid number of
slaps to my naked bottom....
"As I grew older he took to using a cane to punish me with. For this I had to bend over a chair or my bed. He would
lift up my skirt, pull down my knickers and give my bare bottom 8
or 10 hard stinging strokes. "
2. A lady's childhood
"At home, my mum was caning away, and was taking down knickers and pulling up our gymslips. We girls got these home canings in the kitchen, and saw each other being caned on our bare bottoms as an example and a humiliation. " If only the cane had not been abandoned, or used so little, things might have been different."
3. One girl recalls teenage (missy- )adventures. Love this, James
"Our smoking adventure news filtered through to all our parents
over the next few weeks. Gail was the first to atone at home. She was told off for a while before she had to bare her bottom, bend over and touch her toes. She got six strokes of the cane from her mum, then her dad took over and she got
another six. She showed us the damage next day and we were glad it was Gail's bottom. Poor Gail."
Gail's superhero parents' punishment & strict, loving discipline here, James.
4. Daughter's discipline :
"I had to fetch the tawse from my mother's room and
return to the drawing room· with it. I was told to strip down to my
undies and made to bend over and touch my toes. She then took my pants down and gave me the thrashing of my young life. Twenty strokes I had - she counted them out after each one fell -
and all on my poor bare bottom. I didn't miss another choir practice, I can tell 'you !"
5. Lovely letter from an older lady, James:
"Mummy had to bring me up on her own, and I'm afraid I was a I ways a bit of a handful. She was so keen that I shou Id be brought up properly, and she never hesitated to smack my bottom. And I can't say I didn't deserve it. When I was a little girl, she would put me across her knee, pull my little knickers down, and
smack my bare bottom. It was always on my bare bottom.
'After a time I got quite tolerant of spankings....So when I was about twelve, she said one day,' 'Marion, I shall have to buy a cane for you." I had to go with her when she bought it from an old-fashioned ironmongers shop. Even then, I was fascinated at the
sight of it, long and thin and yellow, and the man bent it in a half-circle to show us how bendy it was.
......"I upset Mummy and she said with her usual
quiet patience: ''Marion, go upstairs to your room and take your knickers off.'' So I went to the bedroom and
removed my knickers and laid them on a chair, and waited for Mummy full of trepidation.
In a few minutes
she came in, carrying the cane, and made me bend over the edge of the bed, with my dress pulled up at the back. The window was open and a cool breeze blew over my bare bottom. I screamed at every stroke, and Mummy left me sobbing. "
Bring back the cane, James !
Kind regards
Brenda xx
