So I was reading all about [Christian Domestic Discipline](http://www.christiandomesticdiscipline.com), which probably deserves its own thread. (Basically, it’s Christian fundamentalism meets hardcore D&S, minus all the good sex. Be sure to check out the Glossary, and stop by “Sample Chapters” for some of the world’s worst erotica.)

Let’s say you’re a good submissive little Christian wife, and you want to look all sexy for your husband when he beats you up, but not in a way that’s actually, you know, sexy. The CDD folks have you (thoroughly) covered with [Heirloom Intimates](http://shop.christiandomesticdiscipline.com/categoryNavigationDocument.hg?categoryId=18)! From chemises to pantaloons, and…well, that’s pretty much it.

You can get your pantaloons in Basic or Beribboned, or even trimmed with eyelet! Or if you want it to be a real spanking to remember, go for the Short and Sassy model–show off (most of) those sexy knees! And if you really want to get that brief and unsatisfying sexual encounter out of the way in a hurry, all styles come in Regular or Crotchless!

(Something about the phrase “crotchless pantaloons” really cracks me up.)

The funny thing is, historically a lot of those undergarments _were_ “crotchless” in that they didn’t have sewn seams in the crotch. The reason being that it’s hard enough to pee in hoop skirts as it is.

Actually those would go really well with my corset. And might make a long crowded subway rides more interesting. Nice to see the Christians can still get kinky.

Brief and unsatisfying? According to the CDD folks, getting thy freak on is part of the Divine Plan:

Unless of course you’re fortunate enough to have a particularly uppity bride, in which case, [Maintenance Discipline](http://blog.christiandomesticdiscipline.com/2007/04/14/mainrenance-discipline.aspx) might be necessary.

That’s about how I felt about the whole thing. I think that’s why I focused my OP on the crotchless pantaloons–I just can’t seem to put any coherent thoughts together about the rest of the site.

> [@](#):

> Brief and unsatisfying? According to the CDD folks, getting thy freak on is part of the Divine Plan:

Yes, but did you read “The Wisdom Worker”? (It’s under Sample Chapters.) From the brief two paragraphs of sex that follow a seemingly endless barrage of beating:

> [@](#):
>
> Though she didn’t feel like reaching her own climax, his lovemaking comforted Alyssa, and by the time he was through she had stopped crying and her heart felt much better.

This story really pushed it over the line for me. This may be better suited for GD or IMHO, but I really wouldn’t call a relationship like this “consensual”. I mean, if she already believes that she is supposed to submit to her husband’s authority on everything, what is she going to do when he says he wants to start spanking her when she gets out of line? It’s not her place to say no. It’s not her place to say when it has gone too far. She might be choosing to live that way, but I’m not sure she’s making that choice with fully free agency.

Is this shit for real? Do (sane) people actually believe this stuff? Is there a large enough market to support this site? The crotchless pantaloons might be a trip but the books? I think/hope we’re all being whooshed.

Phew that’s a relief, the pantaloons are 100% muslin…I read it as Muslim at first

True dat. I’m considering buying some for this summer at the Ren Faire - not only is crothless easier in Ye Olde Privies, but the length helps reduce sweaty thigh chafing. And this seems so much nicer than my bike shorts with a slit cut in the crotch!

It’s just…I’m kind of afraid what mailing lists I’ll end up on if I buy from a site like this, y’know? 😃

as I pointed out in the recent thread on codpieces, that odd male garment started life as a sort of “modesty patch” that covered the naughty bits when tunics started getting shorter, because male pantaloons were originally crotchless, too.

I never heard of this CDD stuff before, though. Very interesting. “Maintenance spankings”? Good God!

I’m just looking at the glossary.

> [@](#):
>
> Arnica Gel: A topical gel (usually aloe for its cooling effect) made from a flowering perennial plant, Arnica Montana, which is thought beneficial in healing bruises, swelling, and pain.
> 
> Corner time: An alternative form of punishment where a wife is required to stand facing a corner, often with her bottom on display, before, during, or after a spanking.

> 
> Wrap-around effect: When using a long or flexible implement, the end is traveling faster than the middle of the implement, causing the end that wraps around the spankee to strike with more force than the middle.

What I wonder about is, how are these people with their kids? So often, when you hear a “Now you can’t spank your kid without child services sticking their nose in!” story, it’s a fundie family, and “spanking” means hitting the face, the arm, the upper back, the bare butt, with a spoon, a switch, a belt, and usually for something that most parents don’t think calls for any punishment.

So how does a husband “spanking” a wife have an erotic element, while a parent “spanking” a child does not? Is it like those clubs in England, where people wear school uniform, and they’re just playing at being kids in adult bodies? Or is the erotic element merely an afterthought, and the husband is supposed to have the same authority over his wife as he does his kids?

Though Jill-Ann had turned nineteen a week ago, Lucas spanked her with a belt last night for her belligerent, I’m-a-grown-woman-and-I’ll-do-what-I-want-attitude. It sure had made a difference.

Wow. As I said above it’s nice to see Chirstians can get kinky. But why do they have to lay it all on god? How 'bout “We like it this way.” ?
