Men Spanked for Flirting: Another Clipping from the Dicksburg Gazette

A little more info about post-secondary education in our alternate future.  This focuses on the generally playful dynamics created by the use of the paddle as restricted to older male students.  For heterosexuals, the sexually charged atmosphere leads to some intense interactions.  And handsome men seem to be at a bit of a disadvantage.

This will all change soon, as the sexes, including teachers, administrators, and students, will be segregated to their respective schools.

This fellow Dirk suffers from a common affliction, he doesn't realize how hot he is.  (Unfortunately the opposite problem, not realizing you're not hot, is equally common.)  The original is only a little bigger:

I like him, I'd like to tutor him privately a few times a week.  His observation about women spanking too hard, I think, is partly explained by the fact that men have a much lower pain threshold, especially younger men.  Testosterone causes excitability of all kinds, including sexual arousal and sensitivity to pain.  There may be more discussion of this in future articles.

OK, here's how I'd be imagining him during our tutoring sessions.  Tough guy, has kind of a prison vibe:

Let me know how you feel about this.  These articles, I hope, provoke the imagination, but of course the images in the paper are not too graphic.  Do you read the text or just look at the pictures, and if you read,is it thought-provoking?

My next entry will return us to our police story, but this series of articles will be interspersed amid the narrative from now on.

Happy New Year

Sorry for the long hiatus.  We will begin the new year with a clipping from the Dicksburg Gazette, detailing some of the new developments in post-secondary education.

Here's a larger version of the picture:

And the same, with a slightly different textured finish.  Not a big difference, but I couldn't decide which I liked better.  Anybody with a preference, please let me know in the comments.
