Return to Avondale

Jan did not hurry the whipping, being well versed in such matters. Each lash should be well separated from the next, so that it became an indi- vidual punishment all in itself. The lashes now pro- duced a variety of gasps and moans from Pamela partly from the hurt, partly from the utter humilia- tion of having her bottom whipped in front of other young girls. It was the latter, rather than the hurt, which produced in Pamela at least the slightest beginning of a sexual awareness. She could feel the moistness begin, and, despite her pain, began to understand the unique and mysterious puzzle which the whip brought to a girl. The whip hurt very much, there was no denying that. But at the same time it produced an arousal in a girl to offset the hurt. In a sense, it was punishment and reward at once. Even a whipping produced some pleasures, and as a girl continued to be whipped over time, the arousal became stronger and the hurt weaker, until finally a whipping became a thing of pure pleasure and the discomfort of the hurt became insignificant. It had been so since the first female in history had been whipped. But it took time, and the first whipping was more hurt, than pleasure, as

Pamela realized!

Pamela knew very well t,hat if Jan had whipped her privately she might very well be thrashing upon the frame and screaming to high heavens.

But somehow being whipped in front of the other girls gave her a resolve to receive it with dignity.

After all, a girl did have pride, and she did not wish her peers to think her a crybaby. A girl thus took a whipping much better in front of her sisters. This fact had been observed down through all the cen- turies, in all lands, and therefore females were usually whipped in front of others. It was indeed the reason why girls at Avondale were not whipped alone in a room. That, and of course, because of the pleasure it brought to the girls who watched

Pamela tried not to scream, but soon realized that it was impossible not to do so. For a brief moment she felt ashamed to cry out, then just as quickly realized that certainly girls did scream when whipped. Even those here in the room who had been whipped for months or a year. On this point, Pamela was exactly right, for a girl was fool- ish to try and remain silent under t,he whip. Crying out helped considerably, and as Pamela would find later, a girl's cries and moans and screams were very arousing to those who watched. When she learned to love the whip, and to care for her sisters, she would actually cry out, much more than even necessary to please them and arouse them. It was a matter of Avondale girls loving each other so much that they tried to scream and moan beyond nor- malcy, simply to turn the other girls on with sadis- tic pleasure. But this philosophy would come later as Pamela became experienced. It would be the ultimate act of sacrifice and love that a girl could do for others, to actually desire to be hurl to pro- vide pleasure to other girls! When this point was reached, a girl became a total and perfect woman.

By the end of the first dozen, Pamela's panties were beginning to shred from the five thick leather thongs, and she could feel i,he welts rising. The hurt was not getting any better, but, on the other hand, it was not getting particularly worse either.

It has been said that there is a point in whipping a female beyond which she can accept unlimited pun- ishment, for. she has reached a point, of hurting which no longer can be intensified. Thus at public floggings in ancient Rome or rnedieval Europe a woman would scream and writhe during the first fifty lashes, but then hang quietly while her whip- ping went on and on. In most cases, at this point, her punishment would end for it was no longer having the desired effect upon her. Pamela was certainly not near this point, but her ability to accept the continuing lashes seemed to improve.

The twentieth lash was delivered by Jan and brought the expected moan from her slave. Pieces of Pamela's pants were scattered about the carpet and she was glistening wet down-her back and on her forehead. It had been a good whipping and Jan was pleased with her effort, as well as nicely aroused by her Pamela. Some girls were more ex- citing to whip than others and Jan could see that

Pamela would provide her with much pleasure in the future..

"We have a cute custom here with new slaves," said Jan. "You have taken twenty, and it is ell that is required at your first whipping. However, you may elect to take more. It is rather a tradition for a first-time girl to have her panties whipped off.

That is why you were allowed to wear them for this whipping. It will take about fifteen more lashes to strip you completely. This is not required however, and if you have had enough then I will stop right now, and hold no claim against you, nor think less of you. The choice is yours, but you must instruct me, slave Pamela."
