I wasn't there for a few days, 75 pages of backreading to do.
Here a random sex history fact while i'm at it: In the nineteen century, flagellation was so popular in Britain that it was called "the English vice" all around Europe. The king himself, George IV, was a regular at Ms Berkley's brothel which specialized in BDSM. Ms Berkley was considered at the time as the queen of dominatrix, she had the largest collection of torture instruments in the world and even invented some like the Berkley horse that's still used today.
