I countered by saying that I was too old to be spanked, and asked what would happen if I simply refused to submit to the punishment, as she wasn’t my parent nor my teacher. This was actually very untypical and rather daring of me – but Aunt Pam simply said that I was most certainly not too old to be spanked. “Boys are at their naughtiest in their teens – they need more spanking rather than less as they get older!” she said. In my serial The Governess, teenagers Jacob and Amelia meet their match in the guise of the steely Miss Eversham, who very soon takes control. I held out my hand, albeit with a dollop of attitude, but Aunt Pam said: ““You silly boy! I’m not going to cane your hands – there’s far too much risk of injury, especially as you play the piano. There’s only one place God has decreed that naughty boys should be punished, and that’s on the bottom.” Our unique long-standing event - it happens just once a year - where we joyfully celebrate this English vice. In my own story A Cane For A governess a voyeur observes the governess receiving discipline from the master of the house.

The majority of teachers were male and although we had more women teachers later, at the time in question, when I was 14, we had only two female teachers. js_anon has a talent for writing verse, and some of his poems feature the governess, as in The Governess and The Cane; The Governess - Much Angrier; and The Husband's Governess. The latter concludes with: Various authors of contemporary spanking fiction have written a number of stories featuring the governess. Here are a few extracts from some of the governess stories available in the Library of Spanking Fiction. Many of us appreciate stories where the tables are turned, resulting in the disciplinarian being in a position of chastisement. In The Governess by Flogmaster, the boy Bobby delights in spanking his governess. Club Derriere parties are small and exclusive, so just 4 gents plus our host, Mark, and the lovely Melissa as well as myself. After a couple of rounds of handspanking and the paddle to warm us up, we were all seated around the dining room table for a superb lunch cooked by the wonderful Fran! We were certainly well looked after and the sparkling wine was flowing 🙂 After lunch it was time for spanking in the garden, with various implements used and plenty of switching going on. Of course, no party is complete without a caning, so each gent gave us 6 strokes and then Melissa and I caned each other. What a fantastic day! After a wonderful round of otk spanking, a variety of implements were used on our bottoms, with each gent giving each lady 12 strokes. After a break for Victoria sponge cake and wine, prosecco and various other beverages, we resumed with a round of speed spanking to warm us up for the cane. What a caning it was! We normally receive 8 strokes from each gent, which I did, but then naughty Frankie volunteered for 12 strokes each. Of course, nobody was complaining and I think you’ll agree that our bottoms are very stripey indeed!I’m going to give you a taster of each of my little helpers – three with the cane, three with the slipper and three with the board.”“You can’t make me!” I protested, but with that she called Doreen into the room. Miss Glenwood's face had become as red as fire; her eyes flashed with anger. "You sir, are no gentleman," she hissed, "to force a lady to strip almost naked, like a common trollop! Is humiliation a part of my punishment as well?"

I feel I have to mention the so-called Markham Project, because as fascinating as it may sound, it is likely to be a complete fabrication. Stoltz Sinatra in his brief essay The Markham Project - Fact or Fiction?, explains the project was allegedly named after a professional Victorian governess and educationalist called Elizabeth Markham. Between the 1880s and the early part of the 20th century she aimed to encourage best practice in the training of governesses and the education of young women by creating a network of like-minded governesses and others who who were trying to set-up some sort of academy to further their aims. They supposedly "advocated corporal punishment of young women over the age of 16 and unmarried ladies up to a late age." This was a further bombshell – I’d never been told to take my trousers down for any punishment before. I just stood there transfixed, my heart in my mouth. I was definitely having a huge adrenalised reaction, and I froze like an animal caught in headlights. Finally, Aunt Pam asked Doreen to give me three strokes of the cane, while she continued to hold me firmly over her knee. Doreen duly obliged. The cane strokes weren’t too hard, but they did bite.Sir Richard turned and contemplated the well rounded and nicely present bottom before him. It was as luscious as he remembered and he wondered briefly he if he was not taking advantage. Elizabeth Markham's philosophy was to show that women were not frail creatures and that spanking, caning, birching and other "robust forms of punishment" were essential for discipline and the well-being of "females of all social conditions wishing to better themselves."

Staying with the holiday theme, last Friday I had my summer bikini spanking party with the lovely Frankie. She was on great form as usual! Our 6 lovely gents were greeted with refreshing drinks and a delicious buffet. Of course, there were home made sausage rolls, there would be disappointment all round if there weren’t haha. Jacob and Amelia will not be requiring hot water for their bath today, thank you cook. Kindly have the tin bath filled with cold water, and bring me a scrubbing brush and a bar of carbolic soap."

It is no surprise that today's lifestyle disciplinarians and dominatrixes often masquerade as a governess who invites her clients into her world of very strict corporal punishment, using their prerogative to remove adult privileges and apply any number of strict measures. I have it on good authority that clients pay a handsome fee to be spanked, caned, whipped, paddled and humiliated by a stern governess! Whilst the above can certainly spice up a few fantasies, I can find no evidence to indicate that Elizabeth Markham ever existed. Clip 1 – ‘The Lost Tape’ Part 1 – The long awaited ‘Lost tapes’ of Amelia Jane Rutherford from 10 years ago. Amelia jane gets her first ever ‘cold’ caning (no spanking beforehand to warm up her bum), followed by a spanking. I did find the atmosphere of spanking that was around in every facet of cultural life quite exciting; forbidden, terrifying, and yet intriguing. At my primary school I was once sent to the headmaster for playfully spanking a girl’s bottom – but instead of getting the cane (which is what usually happened if you were sent to the head) he just scooped me up in one movement, slapped my behind three times and told me to never to do that again. I was otherwise a model pupil, so I guess I’d earned some credit points.
