(#4)  Lastly and most damningly…historically, societies that condemn bestiality routinely kill the animals as well as punishing the human perpetrator.  There are cases of this as early as the 1400s and as recently as the 20th century.  Perhaps the most famous is in 1662, when Increase Mather presided over the execution of one Mr. Potter: …this diabolical creature had lived in most infandous buggeries for no less than fifty years together, and now at the gallows there were killed before his eyes a cow, two heifers, three sheep, and two sows, with all of which he had committed his brutalities.  His wife had seen him confounding himself with a bitch ten years beforel and he then excused his filthiness as well as he could unto her, but conjured her to keep it secret.  He afterwards hanged that bitch himself, and then returned to his former villanies… The killing of eight animals along with the defendant makes it fairly obvious that Increase’s concern was not about policing sexual consent.  Rather, he was policing something more along the lines of miscegenation, where both parties are culpable to an illicit border-crossing. (More tragic, perhaps, is Potter killing his own dog after being discovered by his wife.  Weird as it is, I think this sort of drama is familiar to kinky folks of all stripes, everywhere.) Personal to Mr. Mather: How can I be sure that my buggeries are infandous?

I don’t know how well high-res works on various Tumblrs, but the giant demon girl in the picture has a princess in her mouth, and the hero has ridden up on his white horse. She: “Help!” He: “Oh, sorry!  Wrong princess” She: “Wh…What?!” He: Sorry for the interruption!” Giant demon lady: [Gulp!] “Not a problem!”

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly apron. The Jonah fallacy is really popular with children, and shows up in fairy tales all the time.  This is probably aggravated by stories like the one above, or mothers telling their kids that their upcoming sibling is “in her belly”. But I could never understand it.  I mean, surely it’s obvious that eating involves chewing stuff up?

I think this is the flip side…these boys were left out in the woods last night, and they’ve been picked up by the Amazons.  One of them has already betrayed how he’s feeling about the situation…

St George and the Dragon, Paolo Ucello, 1470 In Tolkein’s famous essay on Beowulf, he mentions that there are not very many dragons in European mythology, really.  This is a bit funny, since Tolkein’s own Smaug would eventually become one of centerpieces of a whole genre based on emulating Tolkein’s aesthetic. But he was right: before Smaug, there was St. George’s dragon (actually in Libya), and Fafnir, and Beowulf’s dragon.  That’s pretty much it. Above, George is about to rescue Sabra.  Like most damsels in distress, Sabra has to marry whatever schmuck shows up to rescue her, even though in the original legend, she’s basically the one who saves the day, using the magic-virginity powers of her girdle…..?….?  (That’s what she’s leashing him with). And the poor dragon was only trying to sell astroturf.

Pedro Berruguete, Burning of the Heretics, 1490s? (detail) Like virtually all tortures, the horse is sometimes described as a torture, and sometimes as an execution.  Here, in Berrugete’s famous painting, two heretics are being burned alive (and whipped) while bound over projecting spikes: essentially a version of the horse.  Other versions of the horse are described as using blades to actually cut the flesh and kill the victim.
