deliberately
intended to arouse him to physical violence. At her suggestion K.
ultimately consented to thrash her. This operation took place in
K.'s office, S. stripping for the purpose, and the leather
driving band from a sewing-machine was used. S. manifested
unmistakable pleasure during the flagellation, and connection
occurred after it. These thrashings were repeated at frequent
intervals, and K. found a growing liking for the operation on his
own part. Once, at the suggestion of S., a girl of 13 employed by
K. was thrashed by both K. and S. alternately. The child
complained to her parents and K. made a money payment to them to
avoid scandal, the parents agreeing to keep silence. Other women
(Jewish tailoresses) employed by K. were subsequently thrashed by
him. He asserts that they enjoyed the experience. Mrs. K.,
discovering her husband's infatuation for S., commenced divorce
proceedings. S. consented to leave the country at K.'s request,
but returned almost immediately and was kept in hiding until the
decree was granted. The mutual infatuation of K. and S.
continues, though K. asserts that he cares less for her than
formerly. Flagellation has, however, now become a passion with
him, though he declares that the practice was unknown to him
before he met S. His great fear is that he will kill S. during
one of these operations. He is convinced that S. is not an
isolated case, and that all women enjoy flagellation. He claims
that the experiences of the numerous women whom he has now
thrashed bear out this opinion; one of them is a wealthy woman
separated from her husband, and is now infatuated with K."

Flagellation, more especially in its masochistic form, is
sometimes associated with true inversion. Moll presents the case
of a young inverted woman of 26, showing, indeed, many other
minor sexual anomalies, who is sexually excited when beaten with
a switch. A whip would not do, and the blows must only be on the
nates; she cannot imagine being beaten by a small woman. She has
often in this way been beaten by a friend, who should be naked at
the time, and must submit afterward to cunnilinctus. (Moll,
_Kontraere Sexualempfindung_ third edition, p. 568.)

In the preceding case there were no masochistic ideas; it is
likely that in such a case beating is desired largely on acco
