13 Second week
On the Monday morning, Mr and Mrs Black were summoned to the head of the institution.
"Please go on through, Mrs Black. The boss is waiting for you already," called Mrs. Rudolph. Mr Black remained in the waiting room.
"Good morning! Please take a seat. I have to talk with you," said Dr. Sommer.

Mrs Black hesitated, she briefly wondered whether she could provoke a penalty here with disobedience. Dr. Sommer acknowledged that instinctively.
"You may provoke no penalty here with me. If you want strokes or other stuff you can get them some other way. Without your husband having to suffer, I mean."
"This has been the longest time that I’ve been with my husband. After this stay here, I'm going through with the divorce. Come what may."
"Look, here is the first consensus between us. We also believe that your marriage has no chance."
"So why do we have to go on with this nonsense?"
"Even if your marriage should be dissolved, you can still learn useful skills for your later life."
"Oh, yeah?"
"I’m not going to discuss it or argue about it. You’ll find out, sooner or later. I’d like to make you an offer."
"An offer? What offer?"
The intercom buzzed.
"I’ll be with you in a moment.”
Yes please!"
"Mr and Mrs Pink are here." The voice of Mrs. Rudolph squawked from the speaker.
"Excellent. Send him in!"
Mr. Pink entered the room with a measured step.
"I don't appreciate being called Mr Pink."
"All right, all right. Then we’ll drop the title. Please take a seat. Incidentally, this is Mrs. Black."
Admiringly, Mr. Pink registered the older and fresher welts on Mrs Black’s body.
'She can withstand that! She’s a good sport and no mistake!' he thought, as he looked.
Dr. Sommer noticed with satisfaction the spark between the two, although they sought to hide it. The glowing eyes were a sure sign.
"We have problems in common. I would like to discuss that with you."
"What do you mean, we have problems in common?" interrupted Mrs Black snappily.
"If you weren’t constantly interrupting me, then I could explain to you," countered Dr. Sommer.
"Well then, fire away!" urged Mrs Black.
‘The little so-and-so must have always the last word. It’s time she met her Master,’ Dr. Sommer thought to himself. Accordingly, he said: "you are determined to go through with your divorce, Mrs Black. For you, Mr Pi..., uh sorry, although there is a chance of success, in the long run, it will not be very likely it will go well. My institution needs success. Two divorces in one training period, would significantly damage the reputation of our facility. Of course, I would like to stop that happening."
"And how are you going to do that?" interjected Mr. Pink.
"By the three of us coming to an arrangement."
"You can kiss goodbye to any thoughts that I’m giving up my divorce!" fumed Mrs Black.
"I don't actually mean that arrangement!" said Dr. Sommer, now slightly indignant. "And now you have interrupted me again. This is not helpful," he rebuked Mrs Black.
"Let the doctor speak, Babe. I would like to know what exactly he is proposing." A cold, penetrating gaze made her shiver and avert her eyes. Mr. Pink enforced obedience with charisma and the tone of his voice alone.
"Thank you Mr. Pi... uh, sorry again. I didn’t mean..."
"It's all right. Go on!"

"So I suggest that you accelerate your divorce." If you agree, it could be done by Thursday. I assume that your partners have no objections."
"My husband knows that he can expect nothing more from me, that there is no future for us. He hates me now. I simply couldn’t care less."
"I think my baby will also be glad to be rid of me." added Mr. Pink.
"But this hasn’t solved your problem." Mrs. Black stated. "Where’s the catch?"
"With the consent of all sides and waiver of appeal, the divorces would instantly be valid."
"And?"
"And then there is the possibility that you remarry immediately."
"I’m not marrying him again!" Mrs Black was amused.
"You don’t have to marry ‘him' again, but this one. Whose hand you’re holding already."
Caught out, they laid their hands on the chair backs.
"You’re not under any compulsion. Nothing human is alien to us here. In the last week, I would have a surprise for you. And you, you would be 'Mr. Black'. How’s that for an offer?"
"That is a surprise." ‘Mr Black’ tried to win time to think the matter over. But, what was there to consider? This sharp little witch would be his wife and he would be rid of his howling wuss.
"OK, that’s clear. Sleep on it, and talk it over with your current partners. We also have to get them on board. Without that, nothing is possible."
Mrs Black and Mr. still-Pink looked at each other with mutual agreement in their eyes. They nodded conspiratorially.
“We’ll do it!” Their approval came in unison.
"Thank you. See you tomorrow at the same time?"
"Yes!"
"Oh Mrs Black, one more thing. Don’t provoke any punishment today. Please!"
"Say ‘yes’, Babe. From the day after tomorrow I’ll take it, with joy."
"Alright!" she acquiesced.
***During this conversation in the waiting room.
Mr Black sat on a stool in the otherwise bare room. In addition, there was nothing to read. When Mrs Pink (2nd group) entered the waiting room, she greeted him noncommittally and sat down on the other stool. The silence and the fact that they were strangers and naked in the small room, was embarrassing for them both. It was a bilaterally uncomfortable situation. After several minutes, Mr Black finally plucked up courage and spoke to Mrs. Pink.
“You’ve been overworked these past few days.” He referred to her welts.
"You too."
The traces of the treatments were so obvious.
"What happened to you?"
"Years ago, I married a sadist. And you?"
"I married a masochist. At least I'm not the only one who chose unwisely. That’s what happens when you judge by appearances without getting properly acquainted with the person or not recognising what they are really like."
"Yes, you're right.”
“Mind you, I'm not that attractive."
"Don't say that! I think you’re pretty tasty. But here, any such overture is prohibited. I would like to see you again after I’m divorced."
"They want to avoid that here, by all means."
"It won’t work! In this one thing, I am in agreement with my wife."
"You seem very convinced that you’ll succeed."
At this moment the door to the Office opened and the head of the institution and their partners came out.
Mr. Pink said to his wife, coldly, "Come on, we have to talk!"
"I have much to tell you. Let’s go to our cell," Mrs Black stated with certainty.
The next day, the documents had been produced, the appointments had been agreed and the couples had declared their fundamental consent to the divorces.
"Then you can exchange collars already," Dr. Sommer suggested. "For the last time, Mr Pink, please come here, and you too, Mr Black."
The doctor unlocked the collars with a special security key and swapped them over.
"So, now and for the next two and a half weeks you are Mr Pink and Mr Black. You may spend the night in your individual cells, with your new and future partners. But you may not consummate your relationships, because you are still not married. Tomorrow, it will be allowed. Have you got that?"
"Sure. Of course."
This caused a little fuss and gossip in the Groups, as they noticed the swap. But it also brought calm, because there was no punishment, at least not for today.
Naturally, the Pink couple followed the rules. The couple were glad that their wounds healed and that no further wounds should be forthcoming. They also discovered a mutual respect. Even without sex they realised that they were well matched and got along well together.
And equally naturally, the Black couple were devils. "I want to fuck you hard right now," Mr Black confessed honestly.
"So, why don’t you?" she provoked him. "I was with a wimp long enough. Are you impressed by the threat of punishment?"
"Not at all. In fact I even want it."
"Oh really? Because tomorrow I will disagree only once and then vigorously defend myself, prior to the punishment, " she flirted.
"You little bitch! You're right. What are you waiting for? Spread your legs!”
The violation of the rule was, of course, registered in the monitoring centre. However, it was only to be expected….
The next morning, the marriages were dissolved. This became legal immediately, because all parties agreed to the judgments.
In the afternoon, the new marriages were conducted in a short ceremony. Of course staff and 'students’ took part.
Although the judges and the registrar were initially somewhat taken aback by the 'dress code', then on the other hand - what did a little more craziness in the world matter?
"You may not have noticed, but yesterday the Black couple has once again violated the rules,” the Amazon told the assembled couples of their group before the night's sleep. "There are the prescribed 30 strokes of the bullwhip. I will not even enforce that. We’ll leave the offenders to choose the number of strokes themselves. Mrs. Black, I think we start with you. Come forward, quietly. If you want more, then simply tell the executioner. I know him, he will not refuse your wishes."
Mrs Black willingly allowed herself to be tied and raised. Before he began, her Mr. Black gave her a passionate kiss. As he pulled away from her, she breathed "Fifty!" into his ear.
He called to her, "Louder!" And she screamed for all to hear: "FIFTY! Come on!"
He delivered those blows with power and passion. Her little body was full of welts. Her screams echoed through the corridor. Not everyone was able to watch.
"Well, I wonder if it might be not a good idea, Mrs. Black, to leave it there?" noted the Amazon.
"She’s right." Mr Black conceded. "Or can you take any more, darling?"
"No, that’s plenty. But tell me, how many can you take?"
"Well, as many as you. I love you!" he lovingly embraced her and gave her a passionate kiss again. Then, he broke away from her really beautiful body, but now bloodied by welts, and readily stretched out his arms so that they could tie him. Another of the muscle packages took over the execution. Mr Black was really tough, yet he was at the limits of his capacity for suffering. His respect for his little wife rose as he received each blow.
The rest of the week went according to plan. The couples made significant progress. In individual interviews with the couples, their individual developments were discussed. With the new family Black there was a specific issue to discuss. Holding hands and apparently freshly in love, they both took their seats in front of the Head of the Institute’s table on the scheduled date.
"I am delighted that our arrangement has got off to such an excellent start." Dr. Sommer opened the conversation.
"We are, too!" said the Black couple in unison.
"It was not actually intended that I should speak with you again so soon, but I think that it allows no delay. It’s about your newly discovered masochistic passion, Mrs Black."
That got the couple’s attention and they listened very intently, faces inscrutable. Of course, Dr. Sommer noted that immediately.
"Not that you should assume that we want you to stop that. This is fully in order and it is also within the meaning of the institution, that you are comfortable here with us and pursue your preferences."
Their faces brightened up again.
"What are you saying? Don’t beat about the bush!" Mr. Black was firm.
"I'm sorry. For some couples, one has to work up to the subject gradually. You are more direct. So we are worried about your health. You live out your preference quite single mindedly. Look at yourself in the mirror or at each other. Your skin is bruised, reddened, inflamed. This is dangerous. Your skin is your largest organ, it protects against intruders, viruses, bacteria, parasites. Through harsh treatment, you are damaging this barrier and opening doors for the above mentioned risks. First, I order that you rub each other daily with this disinfecting and healing ointment. If you violate this, you will not be beaten as a penalty! No way! We have other different, more complex methods. I would rather not threaten them, but rely on your insight. So that was the first, unpleasant part. Now we come to that to which you might prefer to listen.
“So, there are alternatives for you. We will prepare something for you here. There are some very interesting bondage techniques, torture tools such as thumb screws, crosses, anal and vaginal plugs, electric toys, etc. etc. I’ll leave you to quietly ponder the alternatives. I'm sure there's a lot for you. I have a catalogue here, in which you can find even more suggestions. For now, please don’t beat yourselves with instruments. If you must beat your lover, limit it to the flat of your hand on the butt," he continued, turning to Mr Black. "Is that acceptable to you?"
The Black couple agreed with a look and nodded approvingly.
"Very good! Here, take it and browse for a while! You don’t need to buy these expensive things, of course. Sometimes there are also suitable products in the hardware store." With these words, Dr. Sommer presented the catalogue of speciality products. "Good evening!"
"Thank you and goodbye!"
