Those of you who know my work will recognise that discipline and control are central themes and that the control and manipulation of sexuality have been touched upon as themes several times in the past. Well now's your chance to influence one of the new pieces I am working on by way of a series of polls, At the moment the polls themselves are over in the right hand sidebar while the explanations to the asterisk marked response options and so on are set out below in the central text, but tomorrow I shall move them over here in the main text area (I'm too tired at the moment - my Internet connection / phone line has been down and only just come back on - so I'm keen to get something going again - but on the other hand it's 01:30 in the morning; and I'm knackered!).
The next poll will.another one of Roger Benson's, to help with last minuet changes and fine tuning to his book - just as this one is to help me finalise certain sections of one of my new publications (but also to aid plot development) - and should appear here later tomorrow (Tuesday) or early Wednesday at the latest; so keep your eyes open. Ta!
Given a domestic setting, should masturbation be:
Similarly, given a CLINICAL / INSTITUTIONAL setting, should masturbation be:
* I would differentiate between
‘supervised control’ and ‘supervision’.
By ‘supervised control’ I allude to a situation in which the young lady
is not only under close supervision but may also have to observe certain
stipulations such as to move her fingers to a certain rhythm or at a certain
rate, follow a certain pattern or perhaps be ready to cease and abstain on
command prior to culmination and likely under the detailed scrutiny of a person
close at hand and able to intervene should non-compliance be encountered.
** The term ‘ad libitum’ merely means ‘as
much or as often as she likes, without outside interference.
*** By ‘observable’ in this context I mean
that (as above) she is allowed to masturbate as much or as often as she pleases
but that perhaps her door is always left open or perhaps there are surveillance
cameras present which may or may not be recording every moment. Even a bell attached to her bed and mattress
or a baby monitor installed in her room may come under this category in
enforcing the need for absolute quiet and / or stillness if her private
fumblings are not to be brought to the attention of all and sundry.
**** The term ‘encouraged’ might mean what it
says, simple words of encouragement from a close confident or perhaps a
councillor of some kind if within an institutional setting. Alternatively the term might allude to more
insidious methods, such as ensuring within her quarters or living space the opportunities
for mental stimulation are kept to an absolute minimum – no books, magazines,
television or radio and with social contact minimal or nonexistent, that sort
of thing, or if literature is allowed to be present there is a high degree of
erotic content (which may be subtle / ‘romantic’).
The latter may be any safe, quiet,
private (apparently), comfortable and undisturbed– yet mind-numbingly boring – space
or environment wherein masturbation becomes the only outlet and stimulation for
the senses. Even a situation wherein a
girl is made to live under an oppressive disciplinary régime under which her
every waking moment is subject to restrictions, stipulations and petty rules
may qualify for this category if extreme enough and if she is then given
sufficient privacy and freedom at night.
And there is no reason all or any of this might not be combined and
reinforced by a few reassuring words given by the right party or visits to a
councillor and so on.
Would your answer or response be likely to differ depending on the type of institution?(* see text)
*
I.e. would your answer depend on
whether the institution was penal, educational or clinical / psychiatric,
whether it is a legitimately sanctioned establishment such as a government
reform school, what we might call a 'semi- legitimate institution' such as a
charity run home for the protection of young women in moral peril (of the
church 'industrial school' model) where high walls and barred gates vouchsafe
and encourage the development of all manner exploitative behaviours, or
somewhere totally illegitimate and unsanctioned such as a small private - and
extremely secure - 'care home' where an errant wife, or intractable
stepdaughter or legal ward might so easily find herself 'put away' no questions
asked in return for a regular monthly 'donation'?
GIVEN THAT UNDER RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES AND /
OR PSYCHOLOGICAL REINFORCEMENT ‘ENCOURAGED’ MASTURBATION, AS OUTLINED ABOVE,
COULD BECOME HABIT-FORMING - FOR HOW LONG SHOULD SUCH AN INTERVENTION BE
CONTINUED?
Given that under right circumstances and / or psychological reinforcement ‘encouraged’ masturbation
* I.e. her hand or hands begin to
involuntary stray under inappropriate conditions such as when seated in front
of the councillor, at her desk or in front of witnesses.
** Uncontrollable in terms of her
self-control – she now masturbates furiously in front of all and sundry, given
the opportunity – obviously the behaviour (as always) is still eminently
controllable by using physical means to enforce abstinence.
Again would your answer or response be likely to differ depending on the type of institution?
If the behavior is to be ‘enforced’ in some way, should refusal be met by:
Additional to the above
* This can mean switching
to bedpan use (initially private, then supervised if refusal continues) if
ordinarily allowed to use the toilet or to nappy (diaper) use if the bedpan is
her usual method. This would always be
an incremental behaviour modification intervention method whatever the start
point. By this I mean that if usually
she is allowed privacy for toilet use, for instance, that privacy would be
curtailed in the first instance - perhaps through the bathroom or stall door
being kept open or removed – then, if refusal continued, close supervision on
the toilet would be introduced, then bedpan use in private, then bedpan use
under close supervision, then bedpan use under close supervision but positioned
in front of a mirror - and so on - at
first being allowed to wipe her own bottom, then having to submit to having it
wiped for her or to go without cleaning.
Actually, it would be interesting to see what level of degradation
our quiet, bookish, modest and shy young thing would need to be brought down to
before she would submit to masturbating herself under close supervision, not to
mention the effect this final surrender would likely have on her delicate
psyche and fragile self-esteem.
** May be used in
isolation or in conjunction with the above punitive intervention, but ALWAYS
including a strong humiliation component to the proceedings
*** (see the INSTITUTIONALISED series – can’t
remember which volume; sorry! And also
my book: VICTORIAN GOVERNANCE IN THE AGE OF FREEDOM)
If masturbation is to be ENTIRELY prohibited how should abstinence be enforced?
* By physical methodology I refer to anything
that in effect mechanically removes temptation, from mittens on hands and restraints
at bedtimes to chastity belts and similar devices. Obviously the surgical
removal of the clitoris is an abhorrent process but a similar – but reversible
– effect can be had by surgically embedding the offending bud in a tiny
vanadium or platinum wire cage sutured into place with tiny wire loops, and I
include such devices in this category.
** By psychological methodology I mean techniques
ranging from simple verbal shaming to the deliberate induction of what I would
term ‘pre-orgasmic’ or ‘pre-culmination’ anxiety via aversion therapy, negative
reinforcement and every station in-between.
