Chinese and other oriental spanking

[This article came from another post written by a  western people, which is very impressive to me. ]

Some years ago while on a business trip to Europe a colleague and I went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch. The premise was an old style establishment run by a Chinese family with more than a hint of sympathy for the New China.

In the corner was a TV churning out Chinese government news reports interspersed with soaps.

Then after a while on came a TV historical drama with girls in pretty dresses and a rather comically evil empress complete with hissing as she sat on a throne. The hissing was imagined as the sound was turned down.

Then a girl in yellow silk was dragged before the empress and thrown Monty Python-style to the ground on her front. Whereupon two splendid gentlemen in black began to spank her with paddles better suited to rowing the Queen Mary.

Since then I have seen many replays of this same scenario, many better executed with more subtle and delicate paddles. Perhaps it is an old staple of such imperialist Chinese dramas, like Indian movies which continuously rehash the happily-endingRomeo and Juliet scenario with singing and dancing.

Most of these dramas, like the one I saw, have the girls lusciously dressed in silk and spanked, often in pairs, fully clothed in such a described manner. But occasionally there are racier scenes where the girls are nude.

Ironically the nude versions are more nuanced and realistically executed, although I suspect the introduction of public nudity in reality may have been reserved for men. That is how it seems in period photos, which are grainy affairs with dour looking Europeans standing over them. This latter point about colonialism begs the question of how far back such public punishments go in Chinese culture.

Most of these recent scenes are well filmed with high production values and are satisfying intense, making one wonder about how spanking erotica is viewed in the Far East. Also that many of the more modern scenarios have focused on domestic spanking and sometimes caning, which is a departure from this tradition. Sometimes even introducing an openly erotic element between girlfriend and boyfriend.

I know Korea has explored this arena to good effect and have often tackled this subject head on in mainstream cinema, but unfortunately most have yet made to our screens and DVD shops. Some of the pictures above may in fact be Korean, my apologies but from this context I cannot be sure.

It is also worth pointing out that the top picture is a domestic scene where it looks like a cane is being used.
