Social Science : Gender Studies

In this powerful and compelling book the author reveals how his fetish was kindled by corporal punishment while still at school. How he struggled to contain it until, eventually, he discovered he was far from alone in London's vibrant, active spanking scene. What he learnt on the scene helped him to understand the psychology of women who wanted to experience submissive discipline. Many were professional women, often juggling a demanding job and family. They needed to occasionally relinquish all control, to submit totally to the will of another.
