1940s French stag film: whipping, spanking fetish

Art — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:29:51 GMT

"Family Spirit", 1940s (or earlier) French hardcore stag film with emphasis on fetishistic whipping, spanking and lots of other stuff. The many explicit sex scenes had to be cut in order to keep this on the Archive. This film is part of a series I'm posting on vintage fetish films, not porn. Story: A blond girl caught watching a couple having sex is harshly spanked and whipped. She gets revenge by having the brunette bound and whipped, then she has wild sex with the guy. However, the girls make up in the end via a strap-on session. With what is shown you can read between the lines. Porn was old hat by the '40s. This is presented to document an early example (and one of the best) of all-out fetishism. That is, bondage and corporal punishment as a sexual element in film. Here, those wacky French were decades ahead of the rest of the world. Credit where it's due dept: this is a public domain film-loop rediscovered and re-released on the Cult Epics dvd "Vintage Erotica anno 1940". Some of the other archived films in this series: * 1930s French fetish stag film: S&M, whipping, domination * Rare 1930s French fetish stag film #2: S&M with a smile * 30s French fetish stag films #3 * French 1940s fetish stag film used in "Performance"
