ories in which whippings were the climax, and
at 13 such stories produced the first spontaneous emission. Thus,
he imagines, for instance, a young girl from the country who
comes up to Paris by train; on the way a lady is attracted by
her, takes an interest in her, brings her home to dinner, and at
last can no longer resist the temptation to take the girl in her
arms and whip her amorously. He writes out these scenes and
illustrates them with drawings, many of which Regis reproduces.
He has even written comedies in which whipping plays a prominent
part. He has, moreover, searched public libraries for references
to flagellation, inserted queries in the _Intermediare des
Chercheurs et des Curieux_, and thus obtained a complete
bibliography of flagellation which is of considerable value.
Regis is acquainted with these _Archives de la Fessee_, and
states that they are carried on with great method and care. He is
especially interested in the whipping of women by women. He
considers that the pleasure of whippings should always be shared
by the person whipped, and he is somewhat concerned to find that
he has an increasing inclination to imagine an element of cruelty
in the whipping. Emissions are somewhat frequent. According to
the latest information, he is much better; he has entered into
sexual relationship with a woman who is much in love with him,
and to whom he has confided his peculiarities. With her aid and
suggestions he has been able to have intercourse with her, at the
moment of coitus whipping her with a harmless India-rubber tube.

In a case also occurring in a highly educated man (narrated by
Marandon de Montyel) a doctor of laws, brilliantly intellectual
and belonging to a family in which there had been some insanity,
when at school at the age of 11, saw for the first time a
schoolfellow whipped on the nates, and experienced a new pleasure
and emotion. He was never himself whipped at school, but would
invent games with his sisters and playfellows in which whipping
formed an essential part. At the age of 13 he teased a young
woman, a cook, until she seized him and whipped him. He put his
arms around her and experienced his first voluptuous spasm of
sex. Th
