‘It’s a bit of an ordeal coming here,’ says Elisabeth. ‘I’m a bit nervous, actually. I hope the camera doesn’t pick it up.’

Have you ever been physically chastised before?

‘It sounds really scary when you say it like that. No. Not really. Something’s always fascinated me about spanking though. It’s why I wrote to your magazine and told you about myself. I didn’t really expect to be coming here and doing this, though.’

Are you pleased that you are here?

‘I’m not sure yet. I suppose I’m honoured, sort of, because it’s Janus. But I don’t know what it’s going to be like, do I?’
