The "Hard-on" on Trial

[Mistress Rey]

What a wild account of some court case humiliation! 

In Roman Catholic France, (pre Revolution) human bodies were not considered private property. Married persons were required to perform their bedroom duties by law. An impotent husband, even if he was unaware of it before marriage, would be considered to have committed larceny. Divorce was almost non existent, but a marriage could be dissolved on the account of the husband’s flaccid prone penis! The couple would be subject to examinations, plenty of groping and prodding by medical professionals. Under all that pressure how is a man to perform?Then, they would have to copulate in front of medical professionals and/or close family members at the court to make sure the husband was doing his wife right. It all sounds so humiliating and hilarious that this was once a way to settle a court case! 

An excerpt from the text: “It involved a couple—likely estranged—who were compelled to have sex in semiprivate quarters, either within the courthouse or rented rooms, with medical people and legal people and close family nearby. In some accounts, all that shrouded the copulating pair were thin paper screens; in others the small crowd gathered behind a half open door or in an antechamber. The entire trying event lasted roughly two hours, punctuated by the kind of bickering achievable only by two people-in-hate. Before and after there were careful checks for fraud. On entering, each party was stripped and examined in every available orifice, searched for vials of blood, and checked for the use of astringents. Afterward, their genitals and bedsheets were subject to examination for fluids.”

I always find the cultural tendencies of Roman Catholics during this time both creepy and so interesting! They really thought of all of the ways to torture, guilt, and humiliate community members. 

I spent a good amount of time fascinated with the Spanish Inquisition (an awful time all around). I never knew about this piece of history. 

Thanks for sharing this eerie bit of info, Rey! I feel like this can be molded into a historical roleplay (with the Fortress’ blow up doll!) where we force our sub to prove his virility. When he can’t perform we can punish him for failing

"Come Now!" That's hilarious. Catholicism can be so fucked up! What a lovely little essay. I wonder if the Marquis was presumed to be a cuckold by his second wife, or if the folks in town all accepted that his children were his.

LOL I think I would definitely fail this examination. There must be so many Inquisition-inspired torments out there. A friend of mine studies that period and finds the strangest little bits of text. If he shares any particularly intriguing and gruesome things with me soon, I'll try to remember so I can share them with you and see what details they remind you of

Today, incurable impotence before the marriage began is still grounds for annulment in the Catholic church. Today, we would use the "Rigiscan Plus" to prove things one way or another. http://www.gotopmedical.com/rigiscan®-plus.html It certainly seems less intrusive, but it keeps a record throughout the day. It somehow seems perfect for SPH.

I imagine many couples would rather suck it up than go through such an embarrassing experience.  And how humiliating it must be for him, the whole village would find out about his inability to perform.  I am sure he'd feel as if they were all secretly laughing at him behind his back.

 

It reminds me a little of the royal families in the 1600s who would witness marriage consummations to make sure the marriage could not be annulled.  But it only really happened in cases where a the relations between two families were shaky and a political alliance relied on the marriage not being contested.

Dear Ms. Rey:

I wrote a reply a couple of days ago but lost internet connection and the work I did.

Your post reminded me of tv series I saw in which a royal marriage had the wedding night witnessed much as the description of the "hard on" trial. Ms. Katz pointed that out aptly in her most recent post. 

I am reminded of something I first heard of in a high school music class ages ago. It had to do with a time when the lord of the land had the right to deflower any virgin on her wedding night before the husband had his turn. It was called "droit du seigneur" or jus primae noctis. It was also called prima nocta.

So the privileged class always had its privileges. It still does today.

Roman Catholic history never fails to morbidly intrigue me, haha. I wonder how many men today would pass such a test.

Incidentally, this gives some delicious ideas for multi-domme roleplay; I can't decide which would be more fun, the dissatisfied wife or the judge charged with a brutal reckoning. All the more reason to try both.

Haha, I'd love to be the angry wife, more opportunity for hard hitting humiliation!

I don't want to make light of the medical intent of the rigiscan, but I can think of great uses for it at the Fortress. That device alone would give me an erection. And using it as a trigger for electrical "stimulation" during relentless teasing! Maybe in an interrogation scenario. WOW! 

Regarding the historical legal requirement for husbands to fulfill bedroom duties, I think the Catholic church was determined to maintain large congregations, which equated to money and power.

I love the fortress, and the forum.

I wasn't making light of the medical side, either, but I AM a pervert and imagining ways to pervert a legit thing to feed my fantasies is simply what perverts do.

The Roman Catholic history of marriage is one of different needs, influences and traditions getting smashed together like continental plates. Watching theologians tie themselves in knots reconciling it all is funny.

This is hilarious! I never knew such a thing existed. Do you have one?

This is so funny - sex is taboo, until it's for producing more Catholic babies, in which case the church will do anything in its power to make sure you commit the greatest sin.

Dear Ms. Fang:

Every religion has its own rules concerning sex and its purpose. I produced one Catholic and two atheist babies. One could view religion as an instrumentality of social control. I wonder if Adam and Eve had any rules about sex? Imagine if she had not listened to the serpent and didn't eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge? No Fortress, no kids, no wars and immortality in the Garden of Eden.

I know right! I was raised in a very non-religious family, but still felt pretty sexually repressed growing up. Chinese people don't need religion to make it taboo!

Dear Ms. Fang:

Makes me wonder why something that can feel so good is considered to be so bad. Reminds me of a Woody Allen film in which the psychiatrist asked him if he thought sex was dirty. The reply: "It is if you're doing it right."

That quote came from "Take The Money and Run." It wasn't a particularly good film but I enjoy watching it every once in a while. It's in my permanent collection.

Sorry Ms. Rey, I haven't checked back with the forum in a while. No I don't have one but I'm definitely going to look into it. Being medical equipment the price is probably through the roof.

It seems that they're no longer made. There are only a few used ones on the market. I've decided to build my own that will trigger an electroshock when a selected level of rigidity is reached. I'll keep you apprised. I envision an endless cycle of up - down - up - down - up - down........ ? And all that's required is a little teasing. ?
