chaosforge -> -of victorian interest (3/25/2008 11:50:43 AM)

as an UM, my folks got a house built in 1904, they meant to rebuild it and we are studied up on the era in was made. i read that girls sent to finishing schools were taught to swim in an odd fashion, without water. they had suspended devices where a leather strap went arround the girl's mid torso, and she learned the motions of swimming while keeping her limbs and torso horizontal.
seems like a form of torture to me. rigorous training, leather, suspention.
i don't know any great deal on how Victorian lifestyles work, so, is this anywhere in the Vic/BDSM ballpark?
just curious-just phoenix
