The English Vice? reported by islandcarol
Can it be true? Keira Knightley, who plays the psychiatric patient Sabina Spielrein in David Cronenberg's film A Dangerous Method, believes that the English are fixated on spanking. She reveals that no one mentioned the spanking scene during the whole of the three days the cast were in Venice during the film festival but that...
"In England it got mentioned all the time," she said. "I don't know what that says about us. We obviously like spanking."
Can it be that spanking for sexual pleasure is a purely English pastime? Picture the quintessential English schoolmaster, formal, gracefully robed wielding a lethal cane and shivering with excitement as he prepares to flog a line up of young boys. But wait, one should consider it is not the English that coined the word sadism, but a Frenchman, De Sade.
Writing in The Telegraph, Theodore Dalrymple observes that he encountered two types of dominatrix amongst his patients: those who were less attractive who tended to flog the lower classes whilst those who appeared high class, sexy and powerful whipped the upper classes, establishment figures, and others of influence.
Dalrymple examines the conflicting idea that experiencing pain can cause erotic excitement. Psychiatrists and human sexologists have studied and classified masochistic perversions. Alfred Kinsey, an American, studied human sexology and chronicled his extensive findings on masochistic pleasures. Some may say, those who can withstand pain are tough. Tough is good because it promotes survival, someone with a taste for pain can pass that toughness onto his/her offspring. Others, prone to dominance take pleasure in inflicting pain. That is truly a symbiotic relationship.
Lastly, Dalrymple examines the question which has long been long debated: when inflicting pain on children in the form of punishment, does it predispose that child to masochism? Since spanking children is outlawed in Sweden, for example, he wonders whether masochism been extinguished in that country? Still, one would hope that those who actually wished to be spanked or flogged or beaten should be permitted to make themselves happy.
Disney Faces Spanking Lawsuit reported by islandcarol
A mother of two is slamming the Disney Channel with a not so friendly family lawsuit. Kelli Rodriguez claims that while she was at a live taping of Good Luck Charlie with her two children, her sister-in-law and her three children, she noticed the comedian, Ron Pearson, eyeing her up before the audience participation segment.
Later, when she was invited on stage to dance to the Village People's YMCA in order to compete for a prize he began spanking her repeatedly. The suit says, 'The unwarranted and unconsented spanking was relentless and did not cease until the plaintiff physically turned around to stop it.'
After the contest Rodriguez claims Pearson asked for a kiss on the cheek. When she consented, Rodriguez claims Pearson turned his face and kissed her fully on the mouth.
Rodriguez claims it was not only unwarranted and humiliating, but that it left her children sad and confused. Later they asked their mommy, "Why did that man kiss you?"
Pearson brands himself as a family comedian. In the bio on his website he says he is taking his "keeping it clean brand of humor" to new levels. As a clean comedian he can take his act from comedy clubs to Christian comedy or family events.
The lawsuit is targeting both Pearson and the Disney Channel because the Disney Channel condoned, encouraged or ratified his behavior by employing him in the first place; neither Pearson nor Disney has commented at this time.
