"Frank" e Eu: Confissões de um cavalheiro vitoriano

by Anonymous

The narrator of the story, a wealthy young man, meets a youth one day — the “Frank” of the title — and, struck by his beauty and good manners, invites him to come home with him. He quickly discovers that his charge displays an unacceptable lack of obedience and consequently he commences to flog him in the traditional and humiliating English manner. One can only imagine his surprise when the young man turns out to be a young woman with beguiling charms.

Here's one of those curiosities of Victorian and Edwardian erotic literature (technically Edwardian in this case, being published in 1902). In ‘Frank and I’, our 30 something, pleasure-seeking aristocratic narrator Charles is on the look out for young men to tutor and tame in accordance with his own proclivities. He encounters Francis - or ‘Frank’, whose minor crimes are an excuse for chastisement. A sound thrashing ensues… At which point, the first twist: ‘Francis’ is in fact more a ‘Frances’, a comely a teenage girl.
What follows is a very detailed, and yes, frank, account of the girl’s education in the sexual pleasures of corporal punishment in the course of Charles’ and Frank’s long-term relationship.
Graceful in its prose, the language and some of the activities on the book are nevertheless of a certain period. Not so much the sexual practices as the age of ‘Frank’, and the age difference between herself and the narrator Charles, who today would be regarded as a sexual predator. Scenes with those of an age that would today be considered minors may disturb the present-day reader. It unsettled me. Some of its descriptions reminded me of The Pearl, the late Victorian magazine “of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading”, though it is far better written.
Not sure if it’s a really a “classic” or just of a certain vintage.

I believe this has been filmed under the title ‘Lady Libertine’, but have not seen it.

Interesting that a book such as this could be written in such plain English when compared with other historical romances I’ve read (admittedly further set back in time by 70 or 80 years). An unusual book indeed. I wonder what the author’s purpose was in writing this book and how close it was to a true story.

A sweet take f enduring love and spanking. Frank is found waking along the road, a runaway, and is taken in by the narrator of the story and taken in. Over the course of time, Frank is disciplined and our hero discovers Frank’ secret. Frank is really Frances. There begins our romance. Lots of spanking, lots of understated sex. A delightful romp.

A Very Goid read

This was the first book I read when I found out about the BDSM community many moons ago. If you are not into BDSM--specifically spanking--then this is not the book for you. There are more spanking and punishment scenes in this story than there are sex scenes, and that was just fine by me.

There was also a movie made, based on this book, but they changed the ending, so I didn't like it. In the book, Frances never married her guardian. Read it to find out how it really ended.

There are scenes of children being spanked in a non-sexual context, because in Victorian times, children got spanked. It is not abuse, nor is it depicted as such.

This book is a testament to that subculture within BDSM known as the spanking community. I would recommend it to anyone with that "gene".

Very invigorating read had difficulty putting it down ,i enjoyed it well enough but disliked the spanking

Parts ,I like not the idea of hitting ladies in any manner although I see the need for it very often.
