Going to go at this if it were a court martial/military punishment:

I create this post dedicated to flogging. I would be curious to know what your opinions and fantasies are on the matter. I would like you to stick to these questions that i have listed below. Go ahead! unleash your imagination and let's talk about it!
A premise before starting, (for flogging as a punitive sentence) imagine you are either in medieval times or under a dictatorial regime.

Take a look at the images and take the inspiration. Now let's start with her first, how would you whip her?
(that's Lara Croft muscular version.This is a beautiful work created by dez-sez on Deviantart, if you also have Deviantart I recommend you follow it).

So the questions are:

- If you were part of the jury of the ancient Roman aristocracy or a hypothetical court martial, how much lash would you sentence the prisoner to be flogged?

- Choose the type of whipping post(whether as shown in the image or something else...) and how the corporal punishment should be performed with which type of whip.

- Set a regulation (example: if during the flogging someone must be present to check the state of health of the condemned etc...)

- How would you react if you were the one holding the whip, and therefore whipping the prisoner?

- Regarding fainting, if the prisoner passes out while you are keep to lash her wounded back, what would you do? Or what if she is still conscious, but she is completely exhausted and she can barely speak asking you that she literally can't take the pain anymore and is begging you to stop? You go on to flog her until she completely faints or you stop?

1. Depends on the crime, but no more than 144 lashes (12 dozen) and no less than 12 lashes (dozen).

2. The traditional single whipping post with the prisoners hands placed on the the sides. The post should be between eight to twelve inches in diameter and stand at least seven feet tall to allow for the condemned to be placed on their tiptoes. The whip should be a cat o nine tails with ideally two punishers used as well as an overseer (can be one punisher and one overseer if manpower is in short supply), one right handed and the other left handed to provide equal coverage of the prisoner's backside, and each stroke announced by the overseer before delivery.

3. Every twelve lashes a health check should be conducted checking the prisoner's vitals by medical personal.

4. I would be very excited as I enjoy the act of whipping. Especially if it's a woman such as Lara.

5. Every time the overseer or the punishers believe the prisoner has fainted a check should be done to see if that is the case. The first time fainting occurs the prisoner should be woken up and the flogging resumed. After a second time a rest period should be given for no more than five minutes. If fainting occurs a third time the sentence should be suspended and resumed at a later date.
