*Update: This pic is from the Finnish play “Runar ja Kyllikki”. I have tried to find the names of the actors but it just isn’t working, however, here is the direct link for all you researchers. Direct link. By the way, the search term that I used was “selkäsauna”*
Just having to delay the Janus post until the weekend because I only have time to throw up a spanking pic before I leave for work. Here is a pic taken from a Finnish stage show, I searched google images with the Finnish term for spanking and this pic turned up 🙂
Hey what a great find, Richard. The spankee looks like such a proper young lady it’s hard to imagine her doing anything naughty. Must be that her man is a tyrant.
A nice find, indeed!
So, what is the Finnish term for “spanking”?
Dr. Ken
Karl, I am trying to relocate the actual link, maybe someone can translate what the play was.
Ken, it is killing me, I am trying to find what word was used. I was searching google and an option came up where you could search for the term in other languages, and I will be buggered if I can’t find that tool right now. There was so little for Finnish that it was easy to find the pic.
A rather nice search term – as it produces both spanking and hockey photos 🙂
More international terms for spanking here, Dr. Ken:

Great find… I particularly love the way he has her holding a book (Bible, perhaps) in her hands whilst over his knee for punishment.
There’s more about the play here: http://www.finnishplays.com/index.php?view=work&id=209
If I may quote a little: it’s “set in relatively modern times against a background of a remote rural village of the 1950’s. Old ways of thinking and behaviour, as well as stereotypical attitudes and taboos still prevail in the village. They are part of the town’s narrow religiosity, dual sexual morality and the predominating yet primitive male-dominated way of life.
In this stifling atmosphere, the typical development of two young people into independent and happy adults is hopelessly distorted. Runar is the son of an unmarried mother who has moved to the village as a war refugee, while Kyllikki is the daughter of a narrowly religious, tyrannical farmer.”
Boy and girl fall in love. People don’t like it. He starts murdering folks. Sounds like a cheerful evening’s viewing!
Excellent find Richard. And thanks to Abel too for the extra info. Very interesting.
