If you frequent this blog, you may be surprised by this month's 'favourite' and it is a change from my normal fare.
However, while I mainly enjoy fantasies that are school based, with domestic settings coming second, I'm not totally averse to the odd judicial scene. In the UK, the government didn't abolish the use of judicial corporal punishment until 1948 (even later in Northern Ireland). Of course, it had been restricted to use on males for many years, but in a fantasy version of the UK, one could imagine that a far-sighted government might have decided such sex discrimination was wrong and that girls should be subject to similar penalties to their male counterparts when their behaviour was bad enough.
Until shortly before abolition, the normal practice for a boy to be birched involved them dropping their trousers and underpants and being held across a table or bench (either by straps or by a couple of burly policemen) to have the punishment applied across their bare bottom, so total nudity, as in the scene portrayed here, was not the normal practice. Perhaps it would have been better. It's not very widely known, but during the era when the birch was used for judicial punishment in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, magistrates in Scotland were given the choice of awarding a punishment with either the birch or a traditional Scottish tawse. Perhaps surprisingly, the general consensus was that the tawse was very much the more severe option. While the tawse was most usually applied to the miscreants hands in schools, in the case of judicial punishments it was applied to their bare bottom the same as the birch.
So in the fantasy I'm playing out in my head here, the girl has just been convicted by a court and awarded eight strokes of the tawse across her bottom. Naked. And very, very hard...
