The Paddle for the Citadel Freshmen

Thanks are due to our friend Rapunzel, who sent us these pictures from her holiday in Charleston, SC. Look! A freshman paddle! Used on military cadets! *fans self* Apparently, it’s called “The Palmetto Paddle”:
Part of the reason I’m so excited about this is because once upon a time (when I didn’t have anybody to spank me yet) I was blown away by a book called “The Lords of Discipline” by Pat Conroy, set in a military college, and based on the author’s experiences of harsh realities of the Citadel.
The book is full of not spanking as much as downright mistreatment of cadets, and in the full light of day I would deny getting even a remote thrill of excitement out of it. When the lights go out, though… I can be one of the freshmen if I want to.
My copy of the book was tenth-hand from an expat bookstore in Kiev, and has fallen to pieces years ago, and I haven’t thought about it for a while, when along comes Rapunzel and her photos. Fantasies galore.
(Apparently, there’s also a film, but I haven’t seen it.)
Now you can buy spanking-related gifts with our original designs.

Haron, are you sure it wasn’t just the title fo that book that did it for you?
Yeah, I read it several times as a teenager. Now I kinda wonder why…
I read that book too. Must admit the title is very appealing! But I didn’t care for the brutality either. I think I saw the movie.
Yeah, the title has certainly contributed to my decision to buy the book in the first place
This rather makes me reflect on the wonders of digital photography… Can you imagine the look of sheer confusion on the faces of the staff at the photo lab had they been asked to develop these in the old days?
