Poetry
- In Samuel Butler's satirical poem Hudibras (Part II, Canto I, line 833- ) a lady urges the knight to submit to a whipping as proof of his devotion to her. This is the origin of the maxim "Spare the rod and spoil the child", not the Bible as is often thought, although the maxim is clearly based on Proverbs 13:24 ("He that spareth his rod hateth his son.")
- Algernon Charles Swinburne wrote poetry on erotic flagellation.
- Camille Paglia even traced a strain of masochism in The Faerie Queene (1590) by Edmund Spenser.
