The Prussian Girls

by P.N. Dedeaux

At the Schloss Rutenberg seminary, a young woman’s education exceeds classroom boundaries. It is not only the high-born pupils who learn from the seminary’s corporeal punishments, but also their mistresses, who in many cases have more to learn than their students.

Reading this was an arduous experience because I kept stopping to look shit up in the dictionary and that kinda ruined the vibe.

Set in a German, 19th century seminary/boarding school for girls, this one revolves around the young women who reside there and the various and myriad forms of corporal punishment(spankings, canings, paddlings, etc.) that they endure. There's hardly any sex, just a lot of birchings, canings, and whippings applied to the girl's bottoms, in a variety of positions. Much fetishistic detail is given in describing the hardware that is used to restrain them when they are punished. One will also learn of such heretofore unknown whipping implements such as 'the pizzle', 'the Heidi', and 'the skinner'. Even though the recovery time from the punishments are incredibly unrealistic, I can't help thinking that these kinds of punishments were handed out in 19th century German schools. Highly recommended for fans of CP!
