Sting Of The Lady Lash
The slave kneels humbly behind his mistress’s socks whilst she performs her ablutions. We have no reason to think that she is a particularly cruel mistress (by Gynarchy standards). But the red sores on the slave’s back, and the presence of the whip attached to her shapely female waist, strongly suggest that the sting of her leather lady lash, at least in part, is responsible for the footslave’s commendable humility and obedience.
