Bastinado is a form of punishment that has been used throughout history, particularly in former slave societies. The practice involves the use of a heavy whip or stick to inflict painful and often lasting wounds on the soles or palms of the feet. In some cases, bastinado was used as a form of torture or to extract information from prisoners or captives. In other cases, bastinado was used as a form of discipline or punishment for slaves, indentured servants, or other laborers. Today, bastinado is primarily used as a form of erotic play or BDSM activity, rather than as a form of punishment or torture. However, it is important to note that even when used as a form of erotic play or BDSM activity, bastinado can still be a dangerous and potentially harmful practice if not done properly and with the proper safety precautions in place.
