More particularly, with respect to specific elements mentioned in the sketched fantasy, the beating of the woman, of course, is symbolic. The sharp clapping of hands may serve, as in the slave-market fantasy, for the crack of the leather. She may, of course, without the clap of hands, merely move as though struck, when it seems appropriate to her to do so. You may simply say to her, “Your beating is now begun. React.” You might later ask, “Have you been beaten enough?” “Yes, Yes, Master,” she gasps. Her beating is then at an end. If later, of course, she should disobey or displease you, she may be beaten again. The whip is an important article in the instruction and management of the slave female. If she is not pleasing, she knows it may be used on her in an instant. No true master hesitates to use the lash on his beauties. It keeps perfect discipline among them. Too, it may be imagined that she is suspended off the ground. If she lies on the bed, hands over her head, belly down, wrists crossed, and doubtless bound, her body straight, toes pointed, this simulates the suspended position. Only the axis is different. Her ankles, if one wishes, may also be crossed and lashed together. Or, if one wishes, one may simply force her to kneel at the foot of the bed, tieing her lashed wrists to the bedpost. If she lies belly down on the bed, a pillow should be placed beneath her in such a way that her movements excite and caress her clitoris. If she kneels at the foot of the bed, the pillow, doubled over, is thrust tight between her legs. It may even be tied there. The whipping fantasy, incidentally, need not be elaborate. It may also be played unexpectedly. Perhaps she has said something you did not care for, or has not served you as completely and servilely as is her duty. Then a sudden hand clap or two might represent blows, from which she reels away, perhaps to kneel cowering in a corner or perhaps, prone, helpless and in disarray, to fall piteously to the rug, one of your slaves, a girl, at your feet. Will more blows fall? Perhaps, perhaps not. It is up to you. You do what you think necessary for her instruction. She must accept what you decide. She is your slave. When she is used in bed, perhaps bound there, hands over her head, watching you, she does not know whether she is to be beaten or caressed. Perhaps you do both, “beating her,” and then, at length, using her. She yields as a slave, under whip and touch. Her ardor must be fantastic, she knows, even if feigned, or again the whip will give instruction, and well, to an inadequate, errant girl in the wishes of her master.
