Nathan Rysher

Welcome to my webpage. The name I use online (and I make no secret of the fact that is is a pseudonym) is Nathan Rysher. I am a human male in my early fifties with a definite interest in corporal punishment. While naturally I only engage in this interest with other consenting adults (normally my wife), I cannot deny that my interest dates back to my childhood and it must at least be acknowledged as possible that my interests were partly formed by the experiences I had then.

Those experiences have remained in my memory and I get a great deal of pleasure in many different ways of writing these down, and sharing them with others.

At the age of nine I was orphaned and through good fortune and the great kindness of men who had known my father, I was enrolled at his old school – one of Australia's most exclusive independent boarding schools, a 'Public School' in the British tradition. And it did follow those traditions to a great extent including having a significant amount of corporal punishment. Stories of some of my experiences (and perhaps eventually those of others I knew) may be found here (38 stories, 9 new).

During my school holidays, I was typically farmed out to the families of other boys, often my friends, sometimes more or less at random based on whoever would take me. In may cases my school friends parents took responsibility for me in very real ways, including sometimes, responsibility for punishing me. Some of those stories will be found here (3 stories, 1 new).

These stories are as close to factual as I can make them, but it must be acknowledged that in many cases, they are stories I have remembered with a great deal of nostalgia over the years and memories change over time. They remain broadly accurate, but some details may not be entirely the way it really happened. All names have been changed to protect people's identities. Some details relating to the school have been changed as well to try and protect its reputation, but I must say that people familiar with the school have identified it on occasion, and I do ask if you think you are able to do so, I would appreciate it if you could avoid spreading it around. I have a great deal of fondness for it, and I do not wish to embarrass it.

Some of these stories may be illustrated but as I believe I am a better writer than an artist, illustrations are likely to be quite rare.

In the future it is also very possible that I will use this place to share fiction as well. I have ideas for fiction that I wish to write, it's merely a matter of finding some time.

I have also placed online a brief essay I wrote about how my interests in this matter developed. It may be of interest to some people and may be found here.
