Talk:Birching

Clarification needed

Why is this in WP Sexuality? It doesn't even mention anything sexual!

My actual question:

Why is a hazel rod more painful than others? --37.138.220.82 (talk) 14:41, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Why is it called a rod?

A rod usually means a stiff cord. But a birch rod is a bunch of switches or flexible sticks bundled together.137.118.104.223 (talk) 21:01, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
