Dresseuses d’Hommes: Dialogues Intimes by Florence Fulbert was published in 1931 by Jean Fort’s Collection des Orties Blanches in Paris, a series known for specializing in erotic literature, particularly focusing on flagellation and female domination themes. Published during the interwar period in France, Dresseuses d’Hommes reflects the underground erotic literature culture of the time, which often pushed boundaries of social norms under the guise of pseudonymous authorship.
This is a classic French femdom (female domination) spanking novel, described as a “realistic and original treatise” on how women can assert control over their partners through corporal punishment, framed as a means to achieve marital harmony. The narrative explores themes of female authority, discipline, and erotic power dynamics, with a focus on flagellation (whipping or spanking) and related practices such as clystérophilie (enema fetishism).
The book is structured as a series of “intimate dialogues,” blending explicit erotic content with a pseudo-philosophical justification for dominance, reflecting the psychological and social commentary often embedded in 1930s erotic literature. The book’s explicit content and focus on female domination make it a niche work, appealing to readers interested in vintage BDSM literature or the history of erotic publishing.
The 1931 edition is notable for its artistic component, featuring a frontispiece and seven heliogravures (high-quality engravings) by Jim Black, a pseudonym for Luc Lafnet, a known illustrator in the erotic genre. These illustrations enhance the book’s collectible value and reflect the period’s aesthetic approach to erotica.Complete collection on Vintage Bdsm Art
