For a moment I thought the woman kneeling in front was consulting her laptop -
but it seems to be a medicine chest - for healing stabbed chests!

Wonderful. The lady is cruel and without merci.As I did'nt find the appropriate thread here, except the art of spanking, I open one here, strictly oldies about various subjects.
Let's start with familiar whipping scenes...! View attachment 1063566
Now that is just totally unfair. It's very likely that one of those 'gentlemen' are reason for the duel in the first place... and he's not allowed to watch? That is sooo wrong.Just found this: https://www.themarysue.com/topless-female-duelists/
Apparently, the thought was that strips of clothing would be introduced into sword wounds causing sepsis, so disrobing prevented this. Male spectators were admonished to turn their backs to the action!
Actually the duel was fought because of an argument over floral arrangements for an upcoming concert!Now that is just totally unfair. It's very likely that one of those 'gentlemen' are reason for the duel in the first place... and he's not allowed to watch? That is sooo wrong.
I see. So it's a 'girl thing'.Actually the duel was fought because of an argument over floral arrangements for an upcoming concert!
Only on this case, between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg of Liechtenstein in 1892, which was well documented. In another case I found, a duel was fought because one woman substantially overestimated another woman's age. Big insult!I see. So it's a 'girl thing'.
Ok, I get that.
Oh my... that is a very serious affront to a female. I can see why that led to combat. As the only male and the youngest of 6 children, I learned quite early in life to avoid discussion, or answering questions about, two subjects...... a woman's age, and anything involving a her body shape and weight.Only on this case, between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg of Liechtenstein in 1892, which was well documented.

So, do we know now much dueling, with swords, not tongues, women actually partook in?It's amazing to notice the evolution of the duel towards "sport". But always topless...
Probably it became one erotic fantasy for males, as many postcards were....View attachment 1065455View attachment 1065456View attachment 1065457View attachment 1065458View attachment 1065459View attachment 1065460View attachment 1065461View attachment 1065462View attachment 1065463View attachment 1065464
There are more than just two ways that could be taken!!!!So, do we know now much dueling, with swords, not tongues, women actually partook in?
Oh yeah... sure.... wait till I'm gone before they do that. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for that info.
OKay, I was meaning a verbal confrontation! No the more enticing use a tongue could be put to, on both a woman and a man!There are more than just two ways that could be taken!!!!
