punishment. It was not long before he was again favoured with a severe flogging for some fault which he had committed, as he acknowledged, for the sole object of heightening the pleasure he was afterwards to enjoy with me. On this occasion I asked him whether he would not like better that I should flog him, rather than thus expose himself before all the school. He eagerly caught at the suggestion, and, accordingly, at our next meeting we provided a birch rod which I applied to his lovely bottom, making him display the greatest symptoms of enjoyment, which increased in intensity every instant until his libidinous sensations were fully aroused to the acme of excitement. I was obliged to take the most effectual means of gratifying and allaying them by tickling, rubbing, and sucking his fiery dart until I made it yield up its treasures with every symptom of the most unbounded transport. He then repeated the same delicious operation upon me with the same pleasing effect.
We were thus led on from one refinement in the art of pleasure to another. We thought it would add greatly to our enjoyment if one of us could exert our powers of pleasing upon the charming instrument of the other, at the same time that the stimulus of the birch rod was applied to the hinder quarters of the patient. To carry out this idea it was necessary for us to have recourse to further assistance. We therefore sounded one of our schoolfellows, a fine handsome boy of fifteen. The sight of the pictures and the perusal of the book fired his imagination to such an extent that he was quite ready for anything we might choose to do with him, and he willingly consented to take part in our frolics in any manner we liked. He soon proved himself an apt and willing scholar. He was no sooner initiated in the mysteries of the art of enjoyment than, quite delighted with the sport, he was as eager as either of us to take his share in receiving or conferring the pleasures we indulged in. I had already had some experience of the effects produced by the birch in rousing the passions and heightening the consequent enjoyment, and I willingly gave in to all Sidney's fancies, who delighted almost as much in operating upon us, and in witnessing and enjoying our voluptuous excitement and the full gratification of our lascivious desires, as he did in getting us to operate upon him.
We had contrived to get access to an unoccupied apartment from which we could exclude the other boys. Our usual arrangement was this: there was a large wide easy chair in the room. One of us sat down upon this chair, leaning his head back pretty low down and stretching out his legs before him, with the whole front part of his person exposed, completely naked. The other knelt upon the chair across him, leaning his arms upon the back of the chair, with his trousers down to his knees and his shirt tucked up around his waist. He bent himself forward, so that love's dart could be introduced between the lips of the sitter who was thus enabled to keep up a libidinous titillation with his mouth and tongue upon the point of the charming instrument, and at the same time to increase the enjoyment by employing his hands in fondling and playing with the fleshy column and the depending treasures, and in tickling and exciting all the adjacent parts.
In the meantime, the naked posteriors of the one who was undergoing this delightful treatment presented a magnificent spectacle to Sidney's delighted eyes, with their soft smooth snowy surfaces quivering and gradually acquiring a roseate hue under the stimulus which he applied to them of the sharp stinging blows of a good birch rod, until the united effects of these pleasing operations before and behind caused love's fount to overflow, and relieve the swollen and excited vessels with a delightful discharge. In this way Sidney had always under his eyes not only the delightful movements of the party who was thus enjoying himself, but also the naked thighs and belly of the one who was performing upon him, the exciting nature of whose occupation never failed to raise up his own standard of pleasure — which was thus fully displayed and made to exhibit all its perfections in a state of magnificent erection, forming a charming contrast with the posterior beauties exhibited by his companion.
When the storm of pleasure had burst forth, Sidney would make us change places and would repeat the same operation, and, finally wrought up to a pitch of luxurious frenzy, he would take up his own position upon his knees across one of us and make us perform upon him in a similar manner, and his frantic exhibition of delight would testify to the excess of his enjoyment.
It was considered a strange thing at school that, after that period, none of us were ever had up for punishment though, if the truth were known, I believe it would have been found that our bottoms underwent the discipline of the rod ten times as much as all the rest of the school put together.
But I must conclude this, and leave the rest of my confessions for another letter.
Ever yours, Harry
Letter VII. Harry to Emily
Dearest Emily,
You are aware that during the last two years I hardly ever saw you, and that when I did so, it was only for a few minutes when I had no opportunity of indulging in those still more delicious enjoyments which you could have afforded me and which might perhaps have warned me from those I then found so much pleasure in indulging in.
For some time also, I saw very little of Lady Lovesport. I turned over in my mind often and long all the circumstances connected with the flogging she had given me, and especially those particulars of which you had informed me but of which she had evidently intended I should not have been aware. I was a good deal puzzled to know what to make of the matter, but on the whole I came to the conclusion that the only way I could expect to see more of you was by keeping on good terms with her. Indeed, her whole conduct towards me had been so kind as long as I could remember anything that I was urged by affection and gratitude as much as by the hope of future favours to cultivate her goodwill. I therefore made up my mind to regulate my conduct so as to please and satisfy her as much as possible, leaving her to herself to indicate in what manner she wished me to behave towards her personally. When we did meet again, she made no allusion to my previous punishment, but treated me even more kindly than formerly.
Mr. Everard, too, was evidently disposed to be on a friendly footing with me. He had two or three times made some excuse for visiting me at school, and on leaving had tipped me handsomely, saying that he knew young gentlemen sometimes had occasion for money for which they did not like to apply to ladies, and that if I should ever happen to be in this situation, I was not to hesitate to have recourse to him, as he was aware that I had no other friends except Lady Lovesport to whom I could apply.
In this manner a year passed very pleasantly, with the sole drawback of not seeing you, but for this I always consoled myself with the hope that at midsummer I should have the happiness, as usual, of meeting you. When I reached Lady Lovesport's, however, I was most woefully disappointed by finding that you were not to be there during my visit. In my vexation and irritation at being thus deprived of the enjoyment I had anticipated in making you aware of all my late discoveries, I am afraid I forgot all my good intentions of behaving properly towards Lady Lovesport and gave her occasion to find fault with me. This she did two or three times, telling me at last to take care lest she should be compelled to chastise me.
I was a good deal surprised at this threat, as it was the first time that any allusion had been made to what had occurred a year previously. I knew quite well that she must be convinced from what she had seen on that occasion that I was, in some respects at least, no longer a mere boy. This led me to pay more particular attention to her manner towards me, and I sometimes fancied that I could detect her eyes wandering over my person with curiosity and interest, especially when I happened to be in a position which more than usually displayed my shape and figure.
After long consideration I came to the conclusion that Lady Lovesport was still actuated by the peculiar fancy which possessed her- and of which I could now somewhat estimate the force-and that she was desirous of having another opportunity of witnessing my youthful charms, displayed under the punishment of the rod, and observing the effect produced upon me by its stimulating powers. I fancied, too, that, though anxious to accomplish this, she was at a loss to know how to bring it about and perhaps doubted in what light I might now view the matter. I thought also she might know too much on the subject, and that I might be inclined to take too great advantage of anything she might do.
I was by this time convinced also that it was not accident, but design, that kept me so long separated from you, and I saw that the only chance I had of being allowed to enjoy your society was by means of pleasing Lady Lovesport and keeping her in good humour. The object to be attained was so great that, in order to arrive at it, I could have no hesitation in complying with all her fancies. After considering the matter as well as I could, I made up my mind as to the line of conduct I should pursue.
