Beat me just once a week Re: [lbo-talk] Re: Sex, Kink and Ick

[joanna bujes]

I don't know. It seems like something like a consensual compromise was 
offered (though not accepted by the judge): a once-a-week beating. The 
notion that a manly man secures respect by beating his wife; the notion 
that a woman is truly loved if her husband bothers to beat her....these 
are still commonplaces in many parts of the world and consensually 
practiced. I'm from Romania; it's not all that uncommon there.

A repressed, commie prude might argue that there's something "wrong" 
here, but well, here we go again.
